A stone in the raw makes a great gift for the artists in your life, or finish it yourself and gift it as a OOAK for that special someone who is never without their tablet. Whether its simply for you to enjoy, or to share, let inspiration prevail and pick up a stone in the raw today.

They are so attractive and very handy.

iPad Stands With a Speaker Part 2

With all the Green Bay Packer and Super Bowl excitement, I neglected to get part 2 of my iPad stand review out for GZ Tablet Stand's new and improved iPad stand.

As you can see, their new iPad stand has the speaker placed in the rear of the stand and it is actually anchored by a small magnet.

The original stand had the speaker in from of the iPad screen, making it difficult to reach over and touch the iPad's screen.

Notice the speaker placed behind where the iPad will sit on the stand.

The iPad rests nicely in its slot and the same great sound coming out of the Altec speaker can be heard anywhere in the room.

Get this handy and attractive stand from GZ Tablet Stands. 

There were available on Ebay, but now they are on Etsy at
