My cat tries to climb between my face and my iPad to get my attention. She'd never tolerate that! Instead I have a small, portable stand by FlipStand that works great for my Kindle and iPad Mini. I also have a Thought Out stand for my full-size iPad that I was given as a gift and love it! Great for using on a table, small desk or counter-top. In fact I'm typing this post on my iPad while using this stand and sitting at my kitchen table.
