My Poke3 has a cover that I kind of like. I glued the T-nut on the back of the cover instead of directly on the device. I have a "foot" composed of 1/4" set screw, 1/4" threaded coupler and one of the three little gooseneck legs off a mini camera tripod. When I don't need it I can unscrew the leg. Admittedly when you are not using the foot you do have the T-nut still sticking out a bit. It's not that bad. Still, for small (6") devices I find the the foot (or something more ergonometric) is a nice hand hold, like those sticky things on cell phones. I also have a bendy arm over my bed to hold the Poke3.
Edit: Or if you want truly low tech, get a scrap of that rubberized drawer liner, the kind that is like a rubber screen. You can use anything as a back support, books or a wooden angle you make yourself or even something else with a tilt stand. Set the liner underneath the back support and the Boox won't slip on the desk.

Well if I can't find a commercial solution then I may need to get creative like you. Thinking through a velcro + detachable wedge solution . . . maybe.
