[shpico]

whats the song ... can u tell me

thanks :}

[andytraub]

@shpico IT's from iMovie or Garageband on the Mac. - not sure which one.

[4nd1PR]

I find it ok officemax in Puerto Rico same part number for $2. Love it.

[andytraub]

@4nd1PR Glad you figured it out!

[4nd1PR]

I find it

[garibaldmichael]

Forgot to say - the new model from this company. It does not have the last fold like this one. Can't find this model anymore, at least here in Montreal.

[andytraub]

@garibaldmichael DANG! Seems like they would have sold more if they kept the old design but maybe there just aren't enough iPad hackers like us.

[garibaldmichael]

Thanks for the vid.

Just wanted to add that for the Asus Transformer, you only need to do an upward fold on the side where it's gonna sit, about 20 degrees upward, at a quarter of an inch from the outter rim. And it will work on both portrait or landscape view. Otherwise the transformer will slip out.

[Jimsworld]

Nice and clean - good use of music and sounds too. Kuduos!

[andytraub]

@Jimsworld Thanks. Pretty amazing how many views you can get if you help people and save them some cash.  Appreciate you leaving a comment. Apparently 10,681 others didn't feel the need. Much appreciated!

[andytraub]

@Jimsworld Thanks. Amazing how "simple" can become impressive.

[waqarhassanpk]

Awesome dude, i would surely order that stand but since i am not a US resident, it may be of no use.... But heads down :)

[mrjoy85]

I have comment on alot of videos today none with a good review mostly because all the make shift stands was a waste of viewing time and basically if u can buy I iPad u can buy the stand... I now stand corrected u have earned a good review this was a pleasure to watch great job mate this is a great idea well done...

[andytraub]

@mrjoy85 Glad you liked it. I think I saw it somewhere else first but the video sure has helped a lot of people. I hope it helps you too.

[Gaddorm]

@mrjoy85 I think the reason most people can afford to buy an iPad is because they don't just throw money away at the drop of a hat just because they can. They make smart decisions with their money and this video shows how to take advantage of that way of thinking.

1000000048474791937437748491 times better than anything!!! even more than that stupid hanger that takes lot of room!!on my way to office depot...!

[gogaijin]

[andytraub]

[vietchicken]

[qazwsxedcrfvg123]

very creative.

to bend it - this is the key.



[andytraub]

@qazwsxedcrfvg123 Thanks. Simple but effective.

[lirama]

Good job!

[andytraub]

@lirama Glad you liked it. It's not a perfect solution for everyone but it is dirt simple/cheap. Don't be so hard on yourself. You're not Jesus (perfect).

[BostonSwagga5]

[andytraub]

@BostonSwagga5 Seriously?! Give me a break! It's a YouTube, I'm not Bob Vila! Thanks for watching though.

[BostonSwagga5]

[BostonSwagga5]

@andytraub nahhh, but Ill give u something else...hehehe

[gamecubepim]

Great vid, thanks! Can you tell me the name of the song you're using?

[andytraub]

@gamecubepim Nope, it was built into my Apple program I used to make the video. Sorry

[gamecubepim]

@andytraub

Which happens to be iMovie, I suppose? That means it's a song from the iLife database, correct? If that's the case, I'll probably have to look a bit further for I also have a Mac. Thanks!

[galaxy8794]

Awesome video! Best cheapest iPad stand I have ever seen comparing to other videos.

[galaxy8794]
