				The Best Way to Hold the iPad
			 
			
			
			I'm pretty sure I first learned about the Gripster from here. I got one a couple of months ago and I love it!  I have used so many iPad holders before finding the Gripster, that I decided to write an article about it.  
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	http://www.geekintheforest.com/ipad-holders/ I also mentioned CoylCushions, which I also learned about from this forum. Another very nice product which I use daily. If you know of something you think is better than Gripster, please, I beg you, DON'T tell me about it! Hahaha!  |

			I don't hold mine anymore.  Instead, I use it on a table as if it were a small laptop, with the Logitech Ultrathin keyboard (I'm on it even as I type this).  I've found my wrists tire too much, and I just don't have the desire to get a honking great cushiony thing, or some grippy thing, so I can hold it. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	I'll be switching to a mini as soon as the screen goes retina.  |

			I rarely hold mine, either. Most of the time it's on my belly or a table, but with the Gripster it is so easy to change the orientation or angle.

			I just hold it with my hands. But then I have the Mini.

			Usually it's on my knees. I have a sleeve with a folding back to prop it. When I put it on the breakfast/dinner table I use a Belkin stand.
