LapWorks Stand for iPad 2 and iPad 3

Part of my "Artist Tools in Review" looks at physical components for the iPad and Android that I find useful for artists and educators alike. When I first got my iPad I started looking at cases and stands so I can...

Lapworks let your iPad work as a second monitor.

1. Secure my iPad 3 to my hand so when I taught sketching classes at the local art museum I could hold it without fear of dropping it.
2. I could find a stand to use in conjunction with apps like XDisplay (see XDisplay review) allowing my iPad to function as a second monitor when Photoshop on my laptop.

I searched for both products on the internet and I ran across an iPad stand from LapWorks that fit both of my needs.

Grip your iPad and turn it in your hand as you sketch.

The screen holder can be easily pulled from the base and a velcro strap on the back allows you to slip your hand into place comfortably and securely. The disk underneath the palm feels comfortable as well and it allows you to rotate the screen in your hand 360 degrees without worrying about dropping it. It allows someone who is sketching with an app like Procreate or Sketchbook Pro to rotate his or her canvas for drawing as well as being able to hold your iPad palms out to show students on onlookers what you are working on. When you are finished sketching with the iPad you can return it securely to the base.


The base allows you to turn the iPad 360 degrees all the way around and the fork/disk connection where the screen holder attaches to the base allows you to rotate the iPads screen 360 degrees as well allowing it to from landscape to portrait mode with ease. My wife has been

making a habit of steeling my laptop to surf the web when we get home from work so I purchased a Bluetooth keyboard so I can type emails faster and if I use the LapWorks stand I can set my monitor closer to eye level keeping me from having to lean over my iPad as much as I type or watch videos on Netflix.

Over all I am very satisfied with my LapWorks stand for my iPad 3 and I would recommend it for someone who enjoys sketching on their iPad or who wants to use it as a second monitor for their computer at work or at home. I hope you found this review of LapWorks stand for the iPad 3 useful and I hope you continue to check out my blog as I continue to review more artist tools like artist stylists for the iPad and Android tablets.
