Magnus iPad 2 Stand

Magnus is a sleek desktop stand designed specifically for the iPad 2. Magnus is first machine-crafted from pure aluminum and then hand-finished using the latest manufacturing techniques. After that, customized magnets are installed into the base and rubberized feet are fitted to the bottom surface.

Because of its compact, minimal design, the Magnus has a reduced silhouette. Viewed from the side, you see only the iPad’s tilt and a flat plate on the desk.

The Magnus stand costs $50 and is available from Ten One Design.
