This is the premier case/stand to use with an iPad around the house…The accessory pocket is cleverly designed so your power cords, headphones and so on don't come in contact with your iPad… Unlike a lot of stands, it's at home on a couch, a bed, or other soft surface… This is a well thought-out product that is going to make a lot of people happy who have been frustrated by other solutions -Mel Martin at The Unofficial Apple Weblog
This product is great! It is ideal for people who use their iPad in bed or on the couch, and it's ideal for both reading and watching movies. It is about a foot square and the padding is really soft. It also serves as a safety case for your device when it is not in use. The adjustable heights are what really set it apart. Being able to angle it that extra half or whole inch really makes a difference in the iPad user experience. I got one originally because the iPad was just a little too heavy for my weak, carpal tunneled wrists. It was a good decision on my part - this product is a wonderful buy and I definitely recommend. -

This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! -Judith
I gave it to my mother who had a stroke and is unable to use her right arm and hand... She is able to turn the page on the Kindle with one hand with this book support holding the Kindle in place. -Therese
I love it. -Doris
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works! -

I've been looking for a product like this for some time. - Phillip Elmer-DeWitt
I couldn't use the iPad in bed without it. -Ben
We just got our new iPad 2, and wanted to find something comfortable to use when sitting, in bed or whatever. This fit the bill with a padded bottom that my Wife wanted, and an adjustable tilt that I felt was necessary. It also has a small pocket to slide stuff to carry around; we use it for the stylus for the kids to use when they practice their spelling or our oldest his cursive… -

My husband and I each have one and they have made a big difference in how much time we spend on our lap tops and ipads. The Prop 'n Go is well made and easy to use. It keeps the heat off my legs when I am using my laptop. I use it with my Kendall Reader, cookbooks and magazines. It is great. It was worth the wait. -

Love the iPad lap desk. -Barbara
Ever since I got my iPad 2 I seldom let it leave my side. When I am watching TV I use it to browse the TV Guide, check out what I am watching on the Internet Movie Database, shop on Amazon, etc. One thing that I discovered pretty quickly was that my regular leather case just wasn't going to work for me. It had to be set on a flat, solid surface or else it would fall over and I needed to have more choices of angles than just one. I received a Targus Lap Lounge and really liked it, however, it was hard to type on since it moved when I touched it. Also, I have to take it out of my travel case in order to put it on the Lap Lounge. Many people buy an iPad partly because it looks to sharp. Putting my sleek, black iPad on the beige, plastic Targus was kind of like wearing an old pair of sneakers with a tux. When I received my Prop 'n Go I was hoping for something better and better was what I got.
This new design is covered with a suede-like felt over a foam core. It is gives me a solid base to type on and allows me to use it while it is still in it's case. In addition I can use the same stand for my Kindle, my tablet computer, etc. I decided to make a short video review that compares the two products feature for feature. After I posted the video I realized that during one part I confused my iPad for my Kindle. I guess that it is a case of too many gadgets and not enough mind. I hope that you find the video to be helpful. -Timothy B. Riley
What I am really drawn to is the ability to adjust the angle of my iPad. -Carole
Prop 'n Go Lite is PERFECT for use with my tablet....laying down, sitting up - it makes positioning my device MUCH easier for use. Compact enough for use during travel. I'm greatly enjoying it and so glad I chose this model. - Audrey W.
I received this lap pillow for a birthday gift and love it. I use it with my nook but works well with my iPhone and books. This is the perfect gift to get any reader. - Judy Shoup
It's just as it appears in your pictures, clips, and description, and is perfect in all kinds of positions when using the iPad -Ronni
It works perfect for my iPad whether I am using it in the car or at home. Durable, well made, ease of use, if you have problems with the muscles in your neck or shoulders when reading, this is a God send. -Kathy
I really love this product for my ipad - and in fact should get a commission as I've already talked at least one friend into buying one :) -Janice
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accommodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with iPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle. - Bookfantastic
This lapdesk for the iPad is a must have if you use an iPad! -Sherrill
I love this thing. I use it for my Kindle and my iPad all the time when I'm sitting on my couch. I had the earlier, vinyl version -- it's was bigger and the vinyl ripped in several places (I covered the rips and still used it). This one, even though it's small, seems sturdier. No cons. It just does a great job. -
S. Stonick "Cyberspastic"
It makes it, not only possible, but pleasurable to use the iPad in bed, on the sofa. -Bernard
I will not use my Viewsonic Gtab without it while at the house. -Jeromy
Best lap desk I have ever bought! And I have bought a bunch of them! -Sherri
...much needed for the Kindle, and was very appreciated as a gift. -Carleen
I really lucked out spotting this prop, because I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't have to go through the learning process of finding a vinyl pillow too hot, or props that didn't have enough angles. First time out, I ended up with a cool, comfortable prop which will hold tablets, books, and other stuff, as long as I can get it away from my husband. He's getting his own for Christmas! If there were problems with earlier models, they had ironed them out by the time I got mine. Highly recommended. - Geezer "mizbooks"
The best iPad stand! -Cathy

I just ordered this for my kindle because my hands also get tired because I read for hours at a time. - CarolinaGirl
Nice folks - emailed me back in minutes when I had a couple of questions. I checked if having a cover on the device would interfere, and was told it was fine; in fact one of the videos shows the same cover I have on the ipad. - Bjeans

Prop 'n Go is an outstanding product -Chuck
With neck fusion surgeries that have left me with virtually no movement in the neck and extremely limited movement of both arms, I was losing the ability to use my small electronic equipment. I had not used my beloved Kindle in over a month. My home computer is fitted with a gas airlift, but similar devices are not made for smaller items. I decided to order this item to see if I could use the devices again. I expected that I would have to ask my husband to return it. It was a very happy surprise to see this product simply holds my Kindle and iPad while I read.
I am extremely grateful to the company for manufacturing it and to Amazon for carrying it. -Land of enchantment
Thank you, Prop 'n Go! -Shanna
Padded Spaces makes my favorite lap top desks! -Will

What I first thought was just another lap desk, turned out to be the perfect solution for my iPad. -Oche
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!! -ghuges
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. -Juliew
...if anyone is looking for a lap stand to use with an IPad they really should have a look at the prop'n'go on @PaddedSpaces website. -F1Cartoonz
It's very versatile and I now consider this a must accessory for the iPad to improve usability. -MadDog
...an adjustable stand that works on your lap as well as it does on a reclined belly. -Chistopher Breen at Macworld.com
WOW! This thing is amazing. -Clint
Prop 'n Go allows me to use my iPad hands-free, and it can be easily adjusted to the perfect viewing angle, which makes it great for watching videos wherever you wish. It's reasonably small but sturdy and appears to be well-built. I've only used it for about a week and haven't experienced any of the problems that some have reported with the grip strips (that hold the iPad in place) peeling off. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product, and expect to get a lot of use out of it. -Shawcago
I'm very happy with it. -Pamela
In the last day since I received this I have tried as many positions as i could think of with this stand ( iPad Kama Sutra ) short of the tub, I'll skip that one.
The results are in... This is the most useful iPad stand out there as far as I'm concerned.
In bed, slouched on the couch and on a desk... Perfect!
If you've been looking for an all purpose stand for you're iPad you can bet that this will work for whatever you have in mind. -Frank Stuart
I ordered this for my Mom for Christmas so thought I would test it out in my room while relaxing in bed. Kept testing it. Wrapped it for Christmas but not before getting on Amazon to order one for me. I like the adjustment feature.

Surprisingly useful iPad accessory; Makes it comfortable to use your iPad on your lap; holds the iPad securely in place; can be used with other tablets and with tablets in a variety of cases; has a pocket to store the iPad and accessories; comes with its own bag - Gear Diary
A very comfortable, not too thick, but nicely padded lap desk that appears to be fairly well constructed. I am using this with the new iPad Retina Display and the Kindle Fire Hd 7". The variety of viewing angles should accommodate most any requirement. It has a nice lip on the front to keep your device from slipping off the front. xxx

I love this iPad holder/desk!!! I read about so many others that had some kind of design flaw that made me hesitant to purchase one. The Prop 'n Go Slim is the best! No matter where I am sitting, I can get the right angle. I bought it to use on my lap while sitting or in bed, but I found It also works great on a table or countertop. The memory foam is so comfortable and it is much easier to use the iPad without having to hold it or balance it on my lap. I was concerned that the price was high and I would be disappointed. It is well made and worth the price. I use it every time I use my iPad. I highly recommend it!!!
Tyrus
I to the polka dot and loved it. Perfect for lap, table or bed. So many choices of angles and the pillow part is comfy. The iPad does not shift on it. Got hubby one immediately and he uses it all the time. Best workable portable stand I've found.
Yorkie Mama
Simple design and well made. Works perfectly and the slim profile makes it easy to take with me. Really has reduced my neck strain now that I can view my ipad at the proper angles.
Ronald A. Hutter
This product changes the way I do school! I am a college student and because the Prop 'n Go is so slim and lightweight I can easily put it in my backpack and take it to school with me, so convenient! Not only does it make typing and doing school work on my IPad much easier, it also props up textbooks. After all the homework, its the perfect tool to prop up my Netflix! The memory foam is so comfortable and the polka dots are so cute! Overall, this product is the best. If you have an IPad, Kindle or any other tablet, this is the product for you!
College Girl
My sister and i were ine of the first people to recieve this product and we love it! It it suprisingly lighweight and very versatile. It is nice that you can adjust the angle to fit your needs. The memory foam fabric keeps you cool after sitting. And the polka dots are a nice touch :)
Mary
I bought this book stand based on previous reviews and certainly didn't go wrong. It fills the bill by being useful in a chair, table, in bed or where ever. I've had several book stands that were a waste of time and money. This is an excellent product and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's not cheap and good thing because it's certainly worth it. It's a 5 star item.
Ronald Edward Ladue
I'm in love with the Prop 'n Go Slim. It makes using my iPad so comfortable in any position. I have a couple of other stands, but this is by far the best. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro straps so I could just carry the iPad and Prop 'n Go around all together. Nice price, too. I think you will be happy with this one.
Meisler
I have the black Prop n' Go slim--I didn't realize it also comes in blue! It is incredibly useful. I haven't tried any other products such as this, but I can't imagine needing anything more than the P n' G Slim. It is a very well-made product and is perfect for my iPad. Because of sore joints, I can't hold up my iPad myself for very long, so having a lap stand is necessary for my comfort.
MerriCarol
I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.
AngelAnn
The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.

My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.

Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!
Yorkie Mama
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.
YaYa
For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.
S. Booth
As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.
Tammie T. Mconnell
I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!
Judy Pluenneke
A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!
Luther Eddleman
This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!
Terry L. Kelly
I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.

My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.

I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea.

Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.

I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! -Judith
I gave it to my mother who had a stroke and is unable to use her right arm and hand... She is able to turn the page on the Kindle with one hand with this book support holding the Kindle in place. -Therese
I love it. -Doris
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works! -

I've been looking for a product like this for some time. - Phillip Elmer-DeWitt
I couldn't use the iPad in bed without it. -Ben
We just got our new iPad 2, and wanted to find something comfortable to use when sitting, in bed or whatever. This fit the bill with a padded bottom that my Wife wanted, and an adjustable tilt that I felt was necessary. It also has a small pocket to slide stuff to carry around; we use it for the stylus for the kids to use when they practice their spelling or our oldest his cursive… -
D. Delora
My husband and I each have one and they have made a big difference in how much time we spend on our lap tops and ipads. The Prop 'n Go is well made and easy to use. It keeps the heat off my legs when I am using my laptop. I use it with my Kendall Reader, cookbooks and magazines. It is great. It was worth the wait. -
Terre
Love the iPad lap desk. -Barbara
Ever since I got my iPad 2 I seldom let it leave my side. When I am watching TV I use it to browse the TV Guide, check out what I am watching on the Internet Movie Database, shop on Amazon, etc. One thing that I discovered pretty quickly was that my regular leather case just wasn't going to work for me. It had to be set on a flat, solid surface or else it would fall over and I needed to have more choices of angles than just one. I received a Targus Lap Lounge and really liked it, however, it was hard to type on since it moved when I touched it. Also, I have to take it out of my travel case in order to put it on the Lap Lounge. Many people buy an iPad partly because it looks to sharp. Putting my sleek, black iPad on the beige, plastic Targus was kind of like wearing an old pair of sneakers with a tux. When I received my Prop 'n Go I was hoping for something better and better was what I got.
This new design is covered with a suede-like felt over a foam core. It is gives me a solid base to type on and allows me to use it while it is still in it's case. In addition I can use the same stand for my Kindle, my tablet computer, etc. I decided to make a short video review that compares the two products feature for feature. After I posted the video I realized that during one part I confused my iPad for my Kindle. I guess that it is a case of too many gadgets and not enough mind. I hope that you find the video to be helpful. -Timothy B. Riley
What I am really drawn to is the ability to adjust the angle of my iPad. -Carole
Prop 'n Go Lite is PERFECT for use with my tablet....laying down, sitting up - it makes positioning my device MUCH easier for use. Compact enough for use during travel. I'm greatly enjoying it and so glad I chose this model. - Audrey W.
I received this lap pillow for a birthday gift and love it. I use it with my nook but works well with my iPhone and books. This is the perfect gift to get any reader. - Judy Shoup
It's just as it appears in your pictures, clips, and description, and is perfect in all kinds of positions when using the iPad -Ronni
It works perfect for my iPad whether I am using it in the car or at home. Durable, well made, ease of use, if you have problems with the muscles in your neck or shoulders when reading, this is a God send. -Kathy
I really love this product for my ipad - and in fact should get a commission as I've already talked at least one friend into buying one :) -Janice
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accommodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with iPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle. - Bookfantastic
This lapdesk for the iPad is a must have if you use an iPad! -Sherrill
I love this thing. I use it for my Kindle and my iPad all the time when I'm sitting on my couch. I had the earlier, vinyl version -- it's was bigger and the vinyl ripped in several places (I covered the rips and still used it). This one, even though it's small, seems sturdier. No cons. It just does a great job. -
S. Stonick "Cyberspastic"
It makes it, not only possible, but pleasurable to use the iPad in bed, on the sofa. -Bernard
I will not use my Viewsonic Gtab without it while at the house. -Jeromy
Best lap desk I have ever bought! And I have bought a bunch of them! -Sherri
...much needed for the Kindle, and was very appreciated as a gift. -Carleen
I really lucked out spotting this prop, because I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't have to go through the learning process of finding a vinyl pillow too hot, or props that didn't have enough angles. First time out, I ended up with a cool, comfortable prop which will hold tablets, books, and other stuff, as long as I can get it away from my husband. He's getting his own for Christmas! If there were problems with earlier models, they had ironed them out by the time I got mine. Highly recommended. - Geezer "mizbooks"
The best iPad stand! -Cathy
Met Ben from Padded Spaces who just demoed and launched a snazzy new iPad case. Check it out -Toastcowboy
Absolutely the best iPad case I've encountered -Jim
I just ordered this for my kindle because my hands also get tired because I read for hours at a time. - CarolinaGirl
Nice folks - emailed me back in minutes when I had a couple of questions. I checked if having a cover on the device would interfere, and was told it was fine; in fact one of the videos shows the same cover I have on the ipad. - Bjeans
Padded Spaces a pensé à vous en créant le Prop 'n Go, un dock qui va vous permettre de positionner votre iPad dans différents angles, confortablement installé sur vos genoux grâce à son support rembourré et à ses crans de réglage. -VIPad.fr
Prop 'n Go is an outstanding product -Chuck
With neck fusion surgeries that have left me with virtually no movement in the neck and extremely limited movement of both arms, I was losing the ability to use my small electronic equipment. I had not used my beloved Kindle in over a month. My home computer is fitted with a gas airlift, but similar devices are not made for smaller items. I decided to order this item to see if I could use the devices again. I expected that I would have to ask my husband to return it. It was a very happy surprise to see this product simply holds my Kindle and iPad while I read.
I am extremely grateful to the company for manufacturing it and to Amazon for carrying it. -Land of enchantment
Thank you, Prop 'n Go! -Shanna
Padded Spaces makes my favorite lap top desks! -Will
I just ordered Prop 'n Go Lite - Hybrid Lap Stand for iPad & Kindle with Adjustable Angle Control for my unexpected ipad2 - and it's for the Fire as well. It can even be used for DTBs!. - Bjeans
Of all the things I tried, this was the nicest iPad stand for around the house... -Mel Martin
"I like to read the newspaper and Facebook before going to bed and this is the most comfortable way to do it." -Howell
"I like it and use it a lot. It is not heavy at all." -B. Cole
This puts the iPad in a comfortable position for viewing content in portrait or landscape mode. -Tad
What I first thought was just another lap desk, turned out to be the perfect solution for my iPad. -Oche
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!! -ghuges
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. -Juliew
...if anyone is looking for a lap stand to use with an IPad they really should have a look at the prop'n'go on @PaddedSpaces website. -F1Cartoonz
It's very versatile and I now consider this a must accessory for the iPad to improve usability. -MadDog
...an adjustable stand that works on your lap as well as it does on a reclined belly. -Chistopher Breen at Macworld.com
WOW! This thing is amazing. -Clint
Prop 'n Go allows me to use my iPad hands-free, and it can be easily adjusted to the perfect viewing angle, which makes it great for watching videos wherever you wish. It's reasonably small but sturdy and appears to be well-built. I've only used it for about a week and haven't experienced any of the problems that some have reported with the grip strips (that hold the iPad in place) peeling off. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product, and expect to get a lot of use out of it. -Shawcago
I'm very happy with it. -Pamela
In the last day since I received this I have tried as many positions as i could think of with this stand ( iPad Kama Sutra ) short of the tub, I'll skip that one.
The results are in... This is the most useful iPad stand out there as far as I'm concerned.
In bed, slouched on the couch and on a desk... Perfect!
If you've been looking for an all purpose stand for you're iPad you can bet that this will work for whatever you have in mind. -Frank Stuart
I ordered this for my Mom for Christmas so thought I would test it out in my room while relaxing in bed. Kept testing it. Wrapped it for Christmas but not before getting on Amazon to order one for me. I like the adjustment feature.

Surprisingly useful iPad accessory; Makes it comfortable to use your iPad on your lap; holds the iPad securely in place; can be used with other tablets and with tablets in a variety of cases; has a pocket to store the iPad and accessories; comes with its own bag - Gear Diary
A very comfortable, not too thick, but nicely padded lap desk that appears to be fairly well constructed. I am using this with the new iPad Retina Display and the Kindle Fire Hd 7". The variety of viewing angles should accommodate most any requirement. It has a nice lip on the front to keep your device from slipping off the front. xxx

I love this iPad holder/desk!!! I read about so many others that had some kind of design flaw that made me hesitant to purchase one. The Prop 'n Go Slim is the best! No matter where I am sitting, I can get the right angle. I bought it to use on my lap while sitting or in bed, but I found It also works great on a table or countertop. The memory foam is so comfortable and it is much easier to use the iPad without having to hold it or balance it on my lap. I was concerned that the price was high and I would be disappointed. It is well made and worth the price. I use it every time I use my iPad. I highly recommend it!!!
Tyrus
I to the polka dot and loved it. Perfect for lap, table or bed. So many choices of angles and the pillow part is comfy. The iPad does not shift on it. Got hubby one immediately and he uses it all the time. Best workable portable stand I've found.
Yorkie Mama
Simple design and well made. Works perfectly and the slim profile makes it easy to take with me. Really has reduced my neck strain now that I can view my ipad at the proper angles.
Ronald A. Hutter
This product changes the way I do school! I am a college student and because the Prop 'n Go is so slim and lightweight I can easily put it in my backpack and take it to school with me, so convenient! Not only does it make typing and doing school work on my IPad much easier, it also props up textbooks. After all the homework, its the perfect tool to prop up my Netflix! The memory foam is so comfortable and the polka dots are so cute! Overall, this product is the best. If you have an IPad, Kindle or any other tablet, this is the product for you!
College Girl
My sister and i were ine of the first people to recieve this product and we love it! It it suprisingly lighweight and very versatile. It is nice that you can adjust the angle to fit your needs. The memory foam fabric keeps you cool after sitting. And the polka dots are a nice touch :)
Mary
I bought this book stand based on previous reviews and certainly didn't go wrong. It fills the bill by being useful in a chair, table, in bed or where ever. I've had several book stands that were a waste of time and money. This is an excellent product and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's not cheap and good thing because it's certainly worth it. It's a 5 star item.
Ronald Edward Ladue
I'm in love with the Prop 'n Go Slim. It makes using my iPad so comfortable in any position. I have a couple of other stands, but this is by far the best. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro straps so I could just carry the iPad and Prop 'n Go around all together. Nice price, too. I think you will be happy with this one.
Meisler
I have the black Prop n' Go slim--I didn't realize it also comes in blue! It is incredibly useful. I haven't tried any other products such as this, but I can't imagine needing anything more than the P n' G Slim. It is a very well-made product and is perfect for my iPad. Because of sore joints, I can't hold up my iPad myself for very long, so having a lap stand is necessary for my comfort.
MerriCarol
I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.
AngelAnn
The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.

My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.
RB601
Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!
Yorkie Mama
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.
YaYa
For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.
S. Booth
As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.
Tammie T. Mconnell
I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!
Judy Pluenneke
A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!
Luther Eddleman
This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!
Terry L. Kelly
I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

I love this product. It leaves my hands-free while i use my iPad on my lap. I feel liberated.

I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.

My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.

I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)

I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
I love it. -Doris
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works! -

I've been looking for a product like this for some time. - Phillip Elmer-DeWitt
I couldn't use the iPad in bed without it. -Ben
We just got our new iPad 2, and wanted to find something comfortable to use when sitting, in bed or whatever. This fit the bill with a padded bottom that my Wife wanted, and an adjustable tilt that I felt was necessary. It also has a small pocket to slide stuff to carry around; we use it for the stylus for the kids to use when they practice their spelling or our oldest his cursive… -
D. Delora
My husband and I each have one and they have made a big difference in how much time we spend on our lap tops and ipads. The Prop 'n Go is well made and easy to use. It keeps the heat off my legs when I am using my laptop. I use it with my Kendall Reader, cookbooks and magazines. It is great. It was worth the wait. -

Love the iPad lap desk. -Barbara
Ever since I got my iPad 2 I seldom let it leave my side. When I am watching TV I use it to browse the TV Guide, check out what I am watching on the Internet Movie Database, shop on Amazon, etc. One thing that I discovered pretty quickly was that my regular leather case just wasn't going to work for me. It had to be set on a flat, solid surface or else it would fall over and I needed to have more choices of angles than just one. I received a Targus Lap Lounge and really liked it, however, it was hard to type on since it moved when I touched it. Also, I have to take it out of my travel case in order to put it on the Lap Lounge. Many people buy an iPad partly because it looks to sharp. Putting my sleek, black iPad on the beige, plastic Targus was kind of like wearing an old pair of sneakers with a tux. When I received my Prop 'n Go I was hoping for something better and better was what I got.
This new design is covered with a suede-like felt over a foam core. It is gives me a solid base to type on and allows me to use it while it is still in it's case. In addition I can use the same stand for my Kindle, my tablet computer, etc. I decided to make a short video review that compares the two products feature for feature. After I posted the video I realized that during one part I confused my iPad for my Kindle. I guess that it is a case of too many gadgets and not enough mind. I hope that you find the video to be helpful. -Timothy B. Riley
What I am really drawn to is the ability to adjust the angle of my iPad. -Carole
Prop 'n Go Lite is PERFECT for use with my tablet....laying down, sitting up - it makes positioning my device MUCH easier for use. Compact enough for use during travel. I'm greatly enjoying it and so glad I chose this model. - Audrey W.
I received this lap pillow for a birthday gift and love it. I use it with my nook but works well with my iPhone and books. This is the perfect gift to get any reader. - Judy Shoup
It's just as it appears in your pictures, clips, and description, and is perfect in all kinds of positions when using the iPad -Ronni
It works perfect for my iPad whether I am using it in the car or at home. Durable, well made, ease of use, if you have problems with the muscles in your neck or shoulders when reading, this is a God send. -Kathy
I really love this product for my ipad - and in fact should get a commission as I've already talked at least one friend into buying one :) -Janice
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accommodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with iPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle. - Bookfantastic
This lapdesk for the iPad is a must have if you use an iPad! -Sherrill
I love this thing. I use it for my Kindle and my iPad all the time when I'm sitting on my couch. I had the earlier, vinyl version -- it's was bigger and the vinyl ripped in several places (I covered the rips and still used it). This one, even though it's small, seems sturdier. No cons. It just does a great job. -
S. Stonick "Cyberspastic"
It makes it, not only possible, but pleasurable to use the iPad in bed, on the sofa. -Bernard
I will not use my Viewsonic Gtab without it while at the house. -Jeromy
Best lap desk I have ever bought! And I have bought a bunch of them! -Sherri
...much needed for the Kindle, and was very appreciated as a gift. -Carleen
I really lucked out spotting this prop, because I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't have to go through the learning process of finding a vinyl pillow too hot, or props that didn't have enough angles. First time out, I ended up with a cool, comfortable prop which will hold tablets, books, and other stuff, as long as I can get it away from my husband. He's getting his own for Christmas! If there were problems with earlier models, they had ironed them out by the time I got mine. Highly recommended. - Geezer "mizbooks"
The best iPad stand! -Cathy
Met Ben from Padded Spaces who just demoed and launched a snazzy new iPad case. Check it out -Toastcowboy
Absolutely the best iPad case I've encountered -Jim
I just ordered this for my kindle because my hands also get tired because I read for hours at a time. - CarolinaGirl
Nice folks - emailed me back in minutes when I had a couple of questions. I checked if having a cover on the device would interfere, and was told it was fine; in fact one of the videos shows the same cover I have on the ipad. - Bjeans
Padded Spaces a pensé à vous en créant le Prop 'n Go, un dock qui va vous permettre de positionner votre iPad dans différents angles, confortablement installé sur vos genoux grâce à son support rembourré et à ses crans de réglage. -VIPad.fr
Prop 'n Go is an outstanding product -Chuck
With neck fusion surgeries that have left me with virtually no movement in the neck and extremely limited movement of both arms, I was losing the ability to use my small electronic equipment. I had not used my beloved Kindle in over a month. My home computer is fitted with a gas airlift, but similar devices are not made for smaller items. I decided to order this item to see if I could use the devices again. I expected that I would have to ask my husband to return it. It was a very happy surprise to see this product simply holds my Kindle and iPad while I read.
I am extremely grateful to the company for manufacturing it and to Amazon for carrying it. -Land of enchantment
Thank you, Prop 'n Go! -Shanna
Padded Spaces makes my favorite lap top desks! -Will
I just ordered Prop 'n Go Lite - Hybrid Lap Stand for iPad & Kindle with Adjustable Angle Control for my unexpected ipad2 - and it's for the Fire as well. It can even be used for DTBs!. - Bjeans
Of all the things I tried, this was the nicest iPad stand for around the house... -Mel Martin
"I like to read the newspaper and Facebook before going to bed and this is the most comfortable way to do it." -Howell
"I like it and use it a lot. It is not heavy at all." -B. Cole
This puts the iPad in a comfortable position for viewing content in portrait or landscape mode. -Tad
What I first thought was just another lap desk, turned out to be the perfect solution for my iPad. -Oche
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!! -ghuges
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. -Juliew
...if anyone is looking for a lap stand to use with an IPad they really should have a look at the prop'n'go on @PaddedSpaces website. -F1Cartoonz
It's very versatile and I now consider this a must accessory for the iPad to improve usability. -MadDog
...an adjustable stand that works on your lap as well as it does on a reclined belly. -Chistopher Breen at Macworld.com
WOW! This thing is amazing. -Clint
Prop 'n Go allows me to use my iPad hands-free, and it can be easily adjusted to the perfect viewing angle, which makes it great for watching videos wherever you wish. It's reasonably small but sturdy and appears to be well-built. I've only used it for about a week and haven't experienced any of the problems that some have reported with the grip strips (that hold the iPad in place) peeling off. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product, and expect to get a lot of use out of it. -Shawcago
I'm very happy with it. -Pamela
In the last day since I received this I have tried as many positions as i could think of with this stand ( iPad Kama Sutra ) short of the tub, I'll skip that one.
The results are in... This is the most useful iPad stand out there as far as I'm concerned.
In bed, slouched on the couch and on a desk... Perfect!
If you've been looking for an all purpose stand for you're iPad you can bet that this will work for whatever you have in mind. -Frank Stuart
I ordered this for my Mom for Christmas so thought I would test it out in my room while relaxing in bed. Kept testing it. Wrapped it for Christmas but not before getting on Amazon to order one for me. I like the adjustment feature.

Surprisingly useful iPad accessory; Makes it comfortable to use your iPad on your lap; holds the iPad securely in place; can be used with other tablets and with tablets in a variety of cases; has a pocket to store the iPad and accessories; comes with its own bag - Gear Diary
A very comfortable, not too thick, but nicely padded lap desk that appears to be fairly well constructed. I am using this with the new iPad Retina Display and the Kindle Fire Hd 7". The variety of viewing angles should accommodate most any requirement. It has a nice lip on the front to keep your device from slipping off the front. xxx

I love this iPad holder/desk!!! I read about so many others that had some kind of design flaw that made me hesitant to purchase one. The Prop 'n Go Slim is the best! No matter where I am sitting, I can get the right angle. I bought it to use on my lap while sitting or in bed, but I found It also works great on a table or countertop. The memory foam is so comfortable and it is much easier to use the iPad without having to hold it or balance it on my lap. I was concerned that the price was high and I would be disappointed. It is well made and worth the price. I use it every time I use my iPad. I highly recommend it!!!
Tyrus
I to the polka dot and loved it. Perfect for lap, table or bed. So many choices of angles and the pillow part is comfy. The iPad does not shift on it. Got hubby one immediately and he uses it all the time. Best workable portable stand I've found.
Yorkie Mama
Simple design and well made. Works perfectly and the slim profile makes it easy to take with me. Really has reduced my neck strain now that I can view my ipad at the proper angles.
Ronald A. Hutter
This product changes the way I do school! I am a college student and because the Prop 'n Go is so slim and lightweight I can easily put it in my backpack and take it to school with me, so convenient! Not only does it make typing and doing school work on my IPad much easier, it also props up textbooks. After all the homework, its the perfect tool to prop up my Netflix! The memory foam is so comfortable and the polka dots are so cute! Overall, this product is the best. If you have an IPad, Kindle or any other tablet, this is the product for you!
College Girl
My sister and i were ine of the first people to recieve this product and we love it! It it suprisingly lighweight and very versatile. It is nice that you can adjust the angle to fit your needs. The memory foam fabric keeps you cool after sitting. And the polka dots are a nice touch :)
Mary
I bought this book stand based on previous reviews and certainly didn't go wrong. It fills the bill by being useful in a chair, table, in bed or where ever. I've had several book stands that were a waste of time and money. This is an excellent product and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's not cheap and good thing because it's certainly worth it. It's a 5 star item.
Ronald Edward Ladue
I'm in love with the Prop 'n Go Slim. It makes using my iPad so comfortable in any position. I have a couple of other stands, but this is by far the best. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro straps so I could just carry the iPad and Prop 'n Go around all together. Nice price, too. I think you will be happy with this one.
Meisler
I have the black Prop n' Go slim--I didn't realize it also comes in blue! It is incredibly useful. I haven't tried any other products such as this, but I can't imagine needing anything more than the P n' G Slim. It is a very well-made product and is perfect for my iPad. Because of sore joints, I can't hold up my iPad myself for very long, so having a lap stand is necessary for my comfort.
MerriCarol
I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.
AngelAnn
The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.
Jonathan
My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.
RB601
Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!
Yorkie Mama
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.
YaYa
For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.
S. Booth
As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.

I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!
Judy Pluenneke
A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!
Luther Eddleman
This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!

I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.

My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.

I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.

I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)

I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
I've been looking for a product like this for some time. - Phillip Elmer-DeWitt
I couldn't use the iPad in bed without it. -Ben
We just got our new iPad 2, and wanted to find something comfortable to use when sitting, in bed or whatever. This fit the bill with a padded bottom that my Wife wanted, and an adjustable tilt that I felt was necessary. It also has a small pocket to slide stuff to carry around; we use it for the stylus for the kids to use when they practice their spelling or our oldest his cursive… -
D. Delora
My husband and I each have one and they have made a big difference in how much time we spend on our lap tops and ipads. The Prop 'n Go is well made and easy to use. It keeps the heat off my legs when I am using my laptop. I use it with my Kendall Reader, cookbooks and magazines. It is great. It was worth the wait. -

Love the iPad lap desk. -Barbara
Ever since I got my iPad 2 I seldom let it leave my side. When I am watching TV I use it to browse the TV Guide, check out what I am watching on the Internet Movie Database, shop on Amazon, etc. One thing that I discovered pretty quickly was that my regular leather case just wasn't going to work for me. It had to be set on a flat, solid surface or else it would fall over and I needed to have more choices of angles than just one. I received a Targus Lap Lounge and really liked it, however, it was hard to type on since it moved when I touched it. Also, I have to take it out of my travel case in order to put it on the Lap Lounge. Many people buy an iPad partly because it looks to sharp. Putting my sleek, black iPad on the beige, plastic Targus was kind of like wearing an old pair of sneakers with a tux. When I received my Prop 'n Go I was hoping for something better and better was what I got.
This new design is covered with a suede-like felt over a foam core. It is gives me a solid base to type on and allows me to use it while it is still in it's case. In addition I can use the same stand for my Kindle, my tablet computer, etc. I decided to make a short video review that compares the two products feature for feature. After I posted the video I realized that during one part I confused my iPad for my Kindle. I guess that it is a case of too many gadgets and not enough mind. I hope that you find the video to be helpful. -Timothy B. Riley
What I am really drawn to is the ability to adjust the angle of my iPad. -Carole
Prop 'n Go Lite is PERFECT for use with my tablet....laying down, sitting up - it makes positioning my device MUCH easier for use. Compact enough for use during travel. I'm greatly enjoying it and so glad I chose this model. - Audrey W.
I received this lap pillow for a birthday gift and love it. I use it with my nook but works well with my iPhone and books. This is the perfect gift to get any reader. - Judy Shoup
It's just as it appears in your pictures, clips, and description, and is perfect in all kinds of positions when using the iPad -Ronni
It works perfect for my iPad whether I am using it in the car or at home. Durable, well made, ease of use, if you have problems with the muscles in your neck or shoulders when reading, this is a God send. -Kathy
I really love this product for my ipad - and in fact should get a commission as I've already talked at least one friend into buying one :) -Janice
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accommodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with iPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle. - Bookfantastic
This lapdesk for the iPad is a must have if you use an iPad! -Sherrill
I love this thing. I use it for my Kindle and my iPad all the time when I'm sitting on my couch. I had the earlier, vinyl version -- it's was bigger and the vinyl ripped in several places (I covered the rips and still used it). This one, even though it's small, seems sturdier. No cons. It just does a great job. -
S. Stonick "Cyberspastic"
It makes it, not only possible, but pleasurable to use the iPad in bed, on the sofa. -Bernard
I will not use my Viewsonic Gtab without it while at the house. -Jeromy
Best lap desk I have ever bought! And I have bought a bunch of them! -Sherri
...much needed for the Kindle, and was very appreciated as a gift. -Carleen
I really lucked out spotting this prop, because I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't have to go through the learning process of finding a vinyl pillow too hot, or props that didn't have enough angles. First time out, I ended up with a cool, comfortable prop which will hold tablets, books, and other stuff, as long as I can get it away from my husband. He's getting his own for Christmas! If there were problems with earlier models, they had ironed them out by the time I got mine. Highly recommended. - Geezer "mizbooks"
The best iPad stand! -Cathy
Met Ben from Padded Spaces who just demoed and launched a snazzy new iPad case. Check it out -Toastcowboy
Absolutely the best iPad case I've encountered -Jim
I just ordered this for my kindle because my hands also get tired because I read for hours at a time. - CarolinaGirl
Nice folks - emailed me back in minutes when I had a couple of questions. I checked if having a cover on the device would interfere, and was told it was fine; in fact one of the videos shows the same cover I have on the ipad. - Bjeans
Padded Spaces a pensé à vous en créant le Prop 'n Go, un dock qui va vous permettre de positionner votre iPad dans différents angles, confortablement installé sur vos genoux grâce à son support rembourré et à ses crans de réglage. -VIPad.fr
Prop 'n Go is an outstanding product -Chuck
With neck fusion surgeries that have left me with virtually no movement in the neck and extremely limited movement of both arms, I was losing the ability to use my small electronic equipment. I had not used my beloved Kindle in over a month. My home computer is fitted with a gas airlift, but similar devices are not made for smaller items. I decided to order this item to see if I could use the devices again. I expected that I would have to ask my husband to return it. It was a very happy surprise to see this product simply holds my Kindle and iPad while I read.
I am extremely grateful to the company for manufacturing it and to Amazon for carrying it. -Land of enchantment
Thank you, Prop 'n Go! -Shanna
Padded Spaces makes my favorite lap top desks! -Will

What I first thought was just another lap desk, turned out to be the perfect solution for my iPad. -Oche
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!! -ghuges
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. -Juliew

It's very versatile and I now consider this a must accessory for the iPad to improve usability. -MadDog
...an adjustable stand that works on your lap as well as it does on a reclined belly. -Chistopher Breen at Macworld.com
WOW! This thing is amazing. -Clint
Prop 'n Go allows me to use my iPad hands-free, and it can be easily adjusted to the perfect viewing angle, which makes it great for watching videos wherever you wish. It's reasonably small but sturdy and appears to be well-built. I've only used it for about a week and haven't experienced any of the problems that some have reported with the grip strips (that hold the iPad in place) peeling off. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product, and expect to get a lot of use out of it. -Shawcago
I'm very happy with it. -Pamela
In the last day since I received this I have tried as many positions as i could think of with this stand ( iPad Kama Sutra ) short of the tub, I'll skip that one.
The results are in... This is the most useful iPad stand out there as far as I'm concerned.
In bed, slouched on the couch and on a desk... Perfect!
If you've been looking for an all purpose stand for you're iPad you can bet that this will work for whatever you have in mind. -Frank Stuart
I ordered this for my Mom for Christmas so thought I would test it out in my room while relaxing in bed. Kept testing it. Wrapped it for Christmas but not before getting on Amazon to order one for me. I like the adjustment feature.

Surprisingly useful iPad accessory; Makes it comfortable to use your iPad on your lap; holds the iPad securely in place; can be used with other tablets and with tablets in a variety of cases; has a pocket to store the iPad and accessories; comes with its own bag - Gear Diary
A very comfortable, not too thick, but nicely padded lap desk that appears to be fairly well constructed. I am using this with the new iPad Retina Display and the Kindle Fire Hd 7". The variety of viewing angles should accommodate most any requirement. It has a nice lip on the front to keep your device from slipping off the front. xxx

I love this iPad holder/desk!!! I read about so many others that had some kind of design flaw that made me hesitant to purchase one. The Prop 'n Go Slim is the best! No matter where I am sitting, I can get the right angle. I bought it to use on my lap while sitting or in bed, but I found It also works great on a table or countertop. The memory foam is so comfortable and it is much easier to use the iPad without having to hold it or balance it on my lap. I was concerned that the price was high and I would be disappointed. It is well made and worth the price. I use it every time I use my iPad. I highly recommend it!!!
Tyrus
I to the polka dot and loved it. Perfect for lap, table or bed. So many choices of angles and the pillow part is comfy. The iPad does not shift on it. Got hubby one immediately and he uses it all the time. Best workable portable stand I've found.
Yorkie Mama
Simple design and well made. Works perfectly and the slim profile makes it easy to take with me. Really has reduced my neck strain now that I can view my ipad at the proper angles.
Ronald A. Hutter
This product changes the way I do school! I am a college student and because the Prop 'n Go is so slim and lightweight I can easily put it in my backpack and take it to school with me, so convenient! Not only does it make typing and doing school work on my IPad much easier, it also props up textbooks. After all the homework, its the perfect tool to prop up my Netflix! The memory foam is so comfortable and the polka dots are so cute! Overall, this product is the best. If you have an IPad, Kindle or any other tablet, this is the product for you!
College Girl
My sister and i were ine of the first people to recieve this product and we love it! It it suprisingly lighweight and very versatile. It is nice that you can adjust the angle to fit your needs. The memory foam fabric keeps you cool after sitting. And the polka dots are a nice touch :)
Mary
I bought this book stand based on previous reviews and certainly didn't go wrong. It fills the bill by being useful in a chair, table, in bed or where ever. I've had several book stands that were a waste of time and money. This is an excellent product and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's not cheap and good thing because it's certainly worth it. It's a 5 star item.
Ronald Edward Ladue
I'm in love with the Prop 'n Go Slim. It makes using my iPad so comfortable in any position. I have a couple of other stands, but this is by far the best. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro straps so I could just carry the iPad and Prop 'n Go around all together. Nice price, too. I think you will be happy with this one.
Meisler
I have the black Prop n' Go slim--I didn't realize it also comes in blue! It is incredibly useful. I haven't tried any other products such as this, but I can't imagine needing anything more than the P n' G Slim. It is a very well-made product and is perfect for my iPad. Because of sore joints, I can't hold up my iPad myself for very long, so having a lap stand is necessary for my comfort.
MerriCarol
I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.
AngelAnn
The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.
Jonathan
My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.
RB601
Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!
Yorkie Mama
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.
YaYa
For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.
S. Booth
As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.

I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!

A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!

Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!

This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!

I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

I love this product. It leaves my hands-free while i use my iPad on my lap. I feel liberated.

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.
Wizee
My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.

I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.

This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!

I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.

This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.

I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.

I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.

I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)

Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !

I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,

Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
My husband and I each have one and they have made a big difference in how much time we spend on our lap tops and ipads. The Prop 'n Go is well made and easy to use. It keeps the heat off my legs when I am using my laptop. I use it with my Kendall Reader, cookbooks and magazines. It is great. It was worth the wait. -

Love the iPad lap desk. -Barbara
Ever since I got my iPad 2 I seldom let it leave my side. When I am watching TV I use it to browse the TV Guide, check out what I am watching on the Internet Movie Database, shop on Amazon, etc. One thing that I discovered pretty quickly was that my regular leather case just wasn't going to work for me. It had to be set on a flat, solid surface or else it would fall over and I needed to have more choices of angles than just one. I received a Targus Lap Lounge and really liked it, however, it was hard to type on since it moved when I touched it. Also, I have to take it out of my travel case in order to put it on the Lap Lounge. Many people buy an iPad partly because it looks to sharp. Putting my sleek, black iPad on the beige, plastic Targus was kind of like wearing an old pair of sneakers with a tux. When I received my Prop 'n Go I was hoping for something better and better was what I got.
This new design is covered with a suede-like felt over a foam core. It is gives me a solid base to type on and allows me to use it while it is still in it's case. In addition I can use the same stand for my Kindle, my tablet computer, etc. I decided to make a short video review that compares the two products feature for feature. After I posted the video I realized that during one part I confused my iPad for my Kindle. I guess that it is a case of too many gadgets and not enough mind. I hope that you find the video to be helpful. -Timothy B. Riley
What I am really drawn to is the ability to adjust the angle of my iPad. -Carole
Prop 'n Go Lite is PERFECT for use with my tablet....laying down, sitting up - it makes positioning my device MUCH easier for use. Compact enough for use during travel. I'm greatly enjoying it and so glad I chose this model. - Audrey W.
I received this lap pillow for a birthday gift and love it. I use it with my nook but works well with my iPhone and books. This is the perfect gift to get any reader. - Judy Shoup
It's just as it appears in your pictures, clips, and description, and is perfect in all kinds of positions when using the iPad -Ronni
It works perfect for my iPad whether I am using it in the car or at home. Durable, well made, ease of use, if you have problems with the muscles in your neck or shoulders when reading, this is a God send. -Kathy
I really love this product for my ipad - and in fact should get a commission as I've already talked at least one friend into buying one :) -Janice
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accommodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with iPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle. - Bookfantastic
This lapdesk for the iPad is a must have if you use an iPad! -Sherrill
I love this thing. I use it for my Kindle and my iPad all the time when I'm sitting on my couch. I had the earlier, vinyl version -- it's was bigger and the vinyl ripped in several places (I covered the rips and still used it). This one, even though it's small, seems sturdier. No cons. It just does a great job. -
S. Stonick "Cyberspastic"
It makes it, not only possible, but pleasurable to use the iPad in bed, on the sofa. -Bernard
I will not use my Viewsonic Gtab without it while at the house. -Jeromy
Best lap desk I have ever bought! And I have bought a bunch of them! -Sherri
...much needed for the Kindle, and was very appreciated as a gift. -Carleen
I really lucked out spotting this prop, because I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't have to go through the learning process of finding a vinyl pillow too hot, or props that didn't have enough angles. First time out, I ended up with a cool, comfortable prop which will hold tablets, books, and other stuff, as long as I can get it away from my husband. He's getting his own for Christmas! If there were problems with earlier models, they had ironed them out by the time I got mine. Highly recommended. - Geezer "mizbooks"
The best iPad stand! -Cathy

I just ordered this for my kindle because my hands also get tired because I read for hours at a time. - CarolinaGirl
Nice folks - emailed me back in minutes when I had a couple of questions. I checked if having a cover on the device would interfere, and was told it was fine; in fact one of the videos shows the same cover I have on the ipad. - Bjeans

Prop 'n Go is an outstanding product -Chuck
With neck fusion surgeries that have left me with virtually no movement in the neck and extremely limited movement of both arms, I was losing the ability to use my small electronic equipment. I had not used my beloved Kindle in over a month. My home computer is fitted with a gas airlift, but similar devices are not made for smaller items. I decided to order this item to see if I could use the devices again. I expected that I would have to ask my husband to return it. It was a very happy surprise to see this product simply holds my Kindle and iPad while I read.
I am extremely grateful to the company for manufacturing it and to Amazon for carrying it. -Land of enchantment
Thank you, Prop 'n Go! -Shanna
Padded Spaces makes my favorite lap top desks! -Will

...an adjustable stand that works on your lap as well as it does on a reclined belly. -Chistopher Breen at Macworld.com
WOW! This thing is amazing. -Clint
Prop 'n Go allows me to use my iPad hands-free, and it can be easily adjusted to the perfect viewing angle, which makes it great for watching videos wherever you wish. It's reasonably small but sturdy and appears to be well-built. I've only used it for about a week and haven't experienced any of the problems that some have reported with the grip strips (that hold the iPad in place) peeling off. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product, and expect to get a lot of use out of it. -Shawcago
I'm very happy with it. -Pamela
In the last day since I received this I have tried as many positions as i could think of with this stand ( iPad Kama Sutra ) short of the tub, I'll skip that one.
The results are in... This is the most useful iPad stand out there as far as I'm concerned.
In bed, slouched on the couch and on a desk... Perfect!
If you've been looking for an all purpose stand for you're iPad you can bet that this will work for whatever you have in mind. -Frank Stuart
I ordered this for my Mom for Christmas so thought I would test it out in my room while relaxing in bed. Kept testing it. Wrapped it for Christmas but not before getting on Amazon to order one for me. I like the adjustment feature.

Surprisingly useful iPad accessory; Makes it comfortable to use your iPad on your lap; holds the iPad securely in place; can be used with other tablets and with tablets in a variety of cases; has a pocket to store the iPad and accessories; comes with its own bag - Gear Diary
A very comfortable, not too thick, but nicely padded lap desk that appears to be fairly well constructed. I am using this with the new iPad Retina Display and the Kindle Fire Hd 7". The variety of viewing angles should accommodate most any requirement. It has a nice lip on the front to keep your device from slipping off the front. xxx

I love this iPad holder/desk!!! I read about so many others that had some kind of design flaw that made me hesitant to purchase one. The Prop 'n Go Slim is the best! No matter where I am sitting, I can get the right angle. I bought it to use on my lap while sitting or in bed, but I found It also works great on a table or countertop. The memory foam is so comfortable and it is much easier to use the iPad without having to hold it or balance it on my lap. I was concerned that the price was high and I would be disappointed. It is well made and worth the price. I use it every time I use my iPad. I highly recommend it!!!
Tyrus
I to the polka dot and loved it. Perfect for lap, table or bed. So many choices of angles and the pillow part is comfy. The iPad does not shift on it. Got hubby one immediately and he uses it all the time. Best workable portable stand I've found.
Yorkie Mama
Simple design and well made. Works perfectly and the slim profile makes it easy to take with me. Really has reduced my neck strain now that I can view my ipad at the proper angles.
Ronald A. Hutter
This product changes the way I do school! I am a college student and because the Prop 'n Go is so slim and lightweight I can easily put it in my backpack and take it to school with me, so convenient! Not only does it make typing and doing school work on my IPad much easier, it also props up textbooks. After all the homework, its the perfect tool to prop up my Netflix! The memory foam is so comfortable and the polka dots are so cute! Overall, this product is the best. If you have an IPad, Kindle or any other tablet, this is the product for you!
College Girl
My sister and i were ine of the first people to recieve this product and we love it! It it suprisingly lighweight and very versatile. It is nice that you can adjust the angle to fit your needs. The memory foam fabric keeps you cool after sitting. And the polka dots are a nice touch :)
Mary
I bought this book stand based on previous reviews and certainly didn't go wrong. It fills the bill by being useful in a chair, table, in bed or where ever. I've had several book stands that were a waste of time and money. This is an excellent product and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's not cheap and good thing because it's certainly worth it. It's a 5 star item.
Ronald Edward Ladue
I'm in love with the Prop 'n Go Slim. It makes using my iPad so comfortable in any position. I have a couple of other stands, but this is by far the best. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro straps so I could just carry the iPad and Prop 'n Go around all together. Nice price, too. I think you will be happy with this one.
Meisler
I have the black Prop n' Go slim--I didn't realize it also comes in blue! It is incredibly useful. I haven't tried any other products such as this, but I can't imagine needing anything more than the P n' G Slim. It is a very well-made product and is perfect for my iPad. Because of sore joints, I can't hold up my iPad myself for very long, so having a lap stand is necessary for my comfort.
MerriCarol
I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.
AngelAnn
The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.
Jonathan
My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.
RB601
Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!
Yorkie Mama
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.
YaYa
For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.
S. Booth
As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.

I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!

A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!

Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!

This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!

I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

I love this product. It leaves my hands-free while i use my iPad on my lap. I feel liberated.

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.
Wizee
My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.

I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.

This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!

I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.

I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.

I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.

I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,

Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable
Claire
Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
Ever since I got my iPad 2 I seldom let it leave my side. When I am watching TV I use it to browse the TV Guide, check out what I am watching on the Internet Movie Database, shop on Amazon, etc. One thing that I discovered pretty quickly was that my regular leather case just wasn't going to work for me. It had to be set on a flat, solid surface or else it would fall over and I needed to have more choices of angles than just one. I received a Targus Lap Lounge and really liked it, however, it was hard to type on since it moved when I touched it. Also, I have to take it out of my travel case in order to put it on the Lap Lounge. Many people buy an iPad partly because it looks to sharp. Putting my sleek, black iPad on the beige, plastic Targus was kind of like wearing an old pair of sneakers with a tux. When I received my Prop 'n Go I was hoping for something better and better was what I got.
This new design is covered with a suede-like felt over a foam core. It is gives me a solid base to type on and allows me to use it while it is still in it's case. In addition I can use the same stand for my Kindle, my tablet computer, etc. I decided to make a short video review that compares the two products feature for feature. After I posted the video I realized that during one part I confused my iPad for my Kindle. I guess that it is a case of too many gadgets and not enough mind. I hope that you find the video to be helpful. -Timothy B. Riley
What I am really drawn to is the ability to adjust the angle of my iPad. -Carole
Prop 'n Go Lite is PERFECT for use with my tablet....laying down, sitting up - it makes positioning my device MUCH easier for use. Compact enough for use during travel. I'm greatly enjoying it and so glad I chose this model. - Audrey W.
I received this lap pillow for a birthday gift and love it. I use it with my nook but works well with my iPhone and books. This is the perfect gift to get any reader. - Judy Shoup
It's just as it appears in your pictures, clips, and description, and is perfect in all kinds of positions when using the iPad -Ronni
It works perfect for my iPad whether I am using it in the car or at home. Durable, well made, ease of use, if you have problems with the muscles in your neck or shoulders when reading, this is a God send. -Kathy
I really love this product for my ipad - and in fact should get a commission as I've already talked at least one friend into buying one :) -Janice
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accommodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with iPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle. - Bookfantastic
This lapdesk for the iPad is a must have if you use an iPad! -Sherrill
I love this thing. I use it for my Kindle and my iPad all the time when I'm sitting on my couch. I had the earlier, vinyl version -- it's was bigger and the vinyl ripped in several places (I covered the rips and still used it). This one, even though it's small, seems sturdier. No cons. It just does a great job. -
S. Stonick "Cyberspastic"
It makes it, not only possible, but pleasurable to use the iPad in bed, on the sofa. -Bernard
I will not use my Viewsonic Gtab without it while at the house. -Jeromy
Best lap desk I have ever bought! And I have bought a bunch of them! -Sherri
...much needed for the Kindle, and was very appreciated as a gift. -Carleen
I really lucked out spotting this prop, because I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't have to go through the learning process of finding a vinyl pillow too hot, or props that didn't have enough angles. First time out, I ended up with a cool, comfortable prop which will hold tablets, books, and other stuff, as long as I can get it away from my husband. He's getting his own for Christmas! If there were problems with earlier models, they had ironed them out by the time I got mine. Highly recommended. - Geezer "mizbooks"
The best iPad stand! -Cathy
Met Ben from Padded Spaces who just demoed and launched a snazzy new iPad case. Check it out -Toastcowboy
Absolutely the best iPad case I've encountered -Jim
I just ordered this for my kindle because my hands also get tired because I read for hours at a time. - CarolinaGirl
Nice folks - emailed me back in minutes when I had a couple of questions. I checked if having a cover on the device would interfere, and was told it was fine; in fact one of the videos shows the same cover I have on the ipad. - Bjeans
Padded Spaces a pensé à vous en créant le Prop 'n Go, un dock qui va vous permettre de positionner votre iPad dans différents angles, confortablement installé sur vos genoux grâce à son support rembourré et à ses crans de réglage. -VIPad.fr
Prop 'n Go is an outstanding product -Chuck
With neck fusion surgeries that have left me with virtually no movement in the neck and extremely limited movement of both arms, I was losing the ability to use my small electronic equipment. I had not used my beloved Kindle in over a month. My home computer is fitted with a gas airlift, but similar devices are not made for smaller items. I decided to order this item to see if I could use the devices again. I expected that I would have to ask my husband to return it. It was a very happy surprise to see this product simply holds my Kindle and iPad while I read.
I am extremely grateful to the company for manufacturing it and to Amazon for carrying it. -Land of enchantment
Thank you, Prop 'n Go! -Shanna
Padded Spaces makes my favorite lap top desks! -Will
I just ordered Prop 'n Go Lite - Hybrid Lap Stand for iPad & Kindle with Adjustable Angle Control for my unexpected ipad2 - and it's for the Fire as well. It can even be used for DTBs!. - Bjeans

"I like it and use it a lot. It is not heavy at all." -B. Cole
This puts the iPad in a comfortable position for viewing content in portrait or landscape mode. -Tad
What I first thought was just another lap desk, turned out to be the perfect solution for my iPad. -Oche
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!! -ghuges
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. -Juliew
...if anyone is looking for a lap stand to use with an IPad they really should have a look at the prop'n'go on @PaddedSpaces website. -F1Cartoonz
It's very versatile and I now consider this a must accessory for the iPad to improve usability. -MadDog
...an adjustable stand that works on your lap as well as it does on a reclined belly. -Chistopher Breen at Macworld.com
WOW! This thing is amazing. -Clint
Prop 'n Go allows me to use my iPad hands-free, and it can be easily adjusted to the perfect viewing angle, which makes it great for watching videos wherever you wish. It's reasonably small but sturdy and appears to be well-built. I've only used it for about a week and haven't experienced any of the problems that some have reported with the grip strips (that hold the iPad in place) peeling off. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product, and expect to get a lot of use out of it. -Shawcago
I'm very happy with it. -Pamela
In the last day since I received this I have tried as many positions as i could think of with this stand ( iPad Kama Sutra ) short of the tub, I'll skip that one.
The results are in... This is the most useful iPad stand out there as far as I'm concerned.
In bed, slouched on the couch and on a desk... Perfect!
If you've been looking for an all purpose stand for you're iPad you can bet that this will work for whatever you have in mind. -Frank Stuart
I ordered this for my Mom for Christmas so thought I would test it out in my room while relaxing in bed. Kept testing it. Wrapped it for Christmas but not before getting on Amazon to order one for me. I like the adjustment feature.

Surprisingly useful iPad accessory; Makes it comfortable to use your iPad on your lap; holds the iPad securely in place; can be used with other tablets and with tablets in a variety of cases; has a pocket to store the iPad and accessories; comes with its own bag - Gear Diary
A very comfortable, not too thick, but nicely padded lap desk that appears to be fairly well constructed. I am using this with the new iPad Retina Display and the Kindle Fire Hd 7". The variety of viewing angles should accommodate most any requirement. It has a nice lip on the front to keep your device from slipping off the front. xxx

I love this iPad holder/desk!!! I read about so many others that had some kind of design flaw that made me hesitant to purchase one. The Prop 'n Go Slim is the best! No matter where I am sitting, I can get the right angle. I bought it to use on my lap while sitting or in bed, but I found It also works great on a table or countertop. The memory foam is so comfortable and it is much easier to use the iPad without having to hold it or balance it on my lap. I was concerned that the price was high and I would be disappointed. It is well made and worth the price. I use it every time I use my iPad. I highly recommend it!!!
Tyrus
I to the polka dot and loved it. Perfect for lap, table or bed. So many choices of angles and the pillow part is comfy. The iPad does not shift on it. Got hubby one immediately and he uses it all the time. Best workable portable stand I've found.
Yorkie Mama
Simple design and well made. Works perfectly and the slim profile makes it easy to take with me. Really has reduced my neck strain now that I can view my ipad at the proper angles.
Ronald A. Hutter
This product changes the way I do school! I am a college student and because the Prop 'n Go is so slim and lightweight I can easily put it in my backpack and take it to school with me, so convenient! Not only does it make typing and doing school work on my IPad much easier, it also props up textbooks. After all the homework, its the perfect tool to prop up my Netflix! The memory foam is so comfortable and the polka dots are so cute! Overall, this product is the best. If you have an IPad, Kindle or any other tablet, this is the product for you!
College Girl
My sister and i were ine of the first people to recieve this product and we love it! It it suprisingly lighweight and very versatile. It is nice that you can adjust the angle to fit your needs. The memory foam fabric keeps you cool after sitting. And the polka dots are a nice touch :)
Mary
I bought this book stand based on previous reviews and certainly didn't go wrong. It fills the bill by being useful in a chair, table, in bed or where ever. I've had several book stands that were a waste of time and money. This is an excellent product and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's not cheap and good thing because it's certainly worth it. It's a 5 star item.
Ronald Edward Ladue
I'm in love with the Prop 'n Go Slim. It makes using my iPad so comfortable in any position. I have a couple of other stands, but this is by far the best. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro straps so I could just carry the iPad and Prop 'n Go around all together. Nice price, too. I think you will be happy with this one.
Meisler
I have the black Prop n' Go slim--I didn't realize it also comes in blue! It is incredibly useful. I haven't tried any other products such as this, but I can't imagine needing anything more than the P n' G Slim. It is a very well-made product and is perfect for my iPad. Because of sore joints, I can't hold up my iPad myself for very long, so having a lap stand is necessary for my comfort.
MerriCarol
I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.
AngelAnn
The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.
Jonathan
My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.
RB601
Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!
Yorkie Mama
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.
YaYa
For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.
S. Booth
As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.

I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!

A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!

This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!

I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.
Wizee
My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..

The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.

I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.

This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!

I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.

I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.

I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.

I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)

Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !

I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,

Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable
Claire
Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
Prop 'n Go Lite is PERFECT for use with my tablet....laying down, sitting up - it makes positioning my device MUCH easier for use. Compact enough for use during travel. I'm greatly enjoying it and so glad I chose this model. - Audrey W.
I received this lap pillow for a birthday gift and love it. I use it with my nook but works well with my iPhone and books. This is the perfect gift to get any reader. - Judy Shoup
It's just as it appears in your pictures, clips, and description, and is perfect in all kinds of positions when using the iPad -Ronni
It works perfect for my iPad whether I am using it in the car or at home. Durable, well made, ease of use, if you have problems with the muscles in your neck or shoulders when reading, this is a God send. -Kathy
I really love this product for my ipad - and in fact should get a commission as I've already talked at least one friend into buying one :) -Janice
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accommodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with iPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle. - Bookfantastic
This lapdesk for the iPad is a must have if you use an iPad! -Sherrill
I love this thing. I use it for my Kindle and my iPad all the time when I'm sitting on my couch. I had the earlier, vinyl version -- it's was bigger and the vinyl ripped in several places (I covered the rips and still used it). This one, even though it's small, seems sturdier. No cons. It just does a great job. -
S. Stonick "Cyberspastic"
It makes it, not only possible, but pleasurable to use the iPad in bed, on the sofa. -Bernard
I will not use my Viewsonic Gtab without it while at the house. -Jeromy
Best lap desk I have ever bought! And I have bought a bunch of them! -Sherri
...much needed for the Kindle, and was very appreciated as a gift. -Carleen
I really lucked out spotting this prop, because I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't have to go through the learning process of finding a vinyl pillow too hot, or props that didn't have enough angles. First time out, I ended up with a cool, comfortable prop which will hold tablets, books, and other stuff, as long as I can get it away from my husband. He's getting his own for Christmas! If there were problems with earlier models, they had ironed them out by the time I got mine. Highly recommended. - Geezer "mizbooks"
The best iPad stand! -Cathy
Met Ben from Padded Spaces who just demoed and launched a snazzy new iPad case. Check it out -Toastcowboy
Absolutely the best iPad case I've encountered -Jim
I just ordered this for my kindle because my hands also get tired because I read for hours at a time. - CarolinaGirl
Nice folks - emailed me back in minutes when I had a couple of questions. I checked if having a cover on the device would interfere, and was told it was fine; in fact one of the videos shows the same cover I have on the ipad. - Bjeans
Padded Spaces a pensé à vous en créant le Prop 'n Go, un dock qui va vous permettre de positionner votre iPad dans différents angles, confortablement installé sur vos genoux grâce à son support rembourré et à ses crans de réglage. -VIPad.fr
Prop 'n Go is an outstanding product -Chuck
With neck fusion surgeries that have left me with virtually no movement in the neck and extremely limited movement of both arms, I was losing the ability to use my small electronic equipment. I had not used my beloved Kindle in over a month. My home computer is fitted with a gas airlift, but similar devices are not made for smaller items. I decided to order this item to see if I could use the devices again. I expected that I would have to ask my husband to return it. It was a very happy surprise to see this product simply holds my Kindle and iPad while I read.
I am extremely grateful to the company for manufacturing it and to Amazon for carrying it. -Land of enchantment
Thank you, Prop 'n Go! -Shanna
Padded Spaces makes my favorite lap top desks! -Will
I just ordered Prop 'n Go Lite - Hybrid Lap Stand for iPad & Kindle with Adjustable Angle Control for my unexpected ipad2 - and it's for the Fire as well. It can even be used for DTBs!. - Bjeans

What I first thought was just another lap desk, turned out to be the perfect solution for my iPad. -Oche
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!! -ghuges
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. -Juliew

...an adjustable stand that works on your lap as well as it does on a reclined belly. -Chistopher Breen at Macworld.com
WOW! This thing is amazing. -Clint
Prop 'n Go allows me to use my iPad hands-free, and it can be easily adjusted to the perfect viewing angle, which makes it great for watching videos wherever you wish. It's reasonably small but sturdy and appears to be well-built. I've only used it for about a week and haven't experienced any of the problems that some have reported with the grip strips (that hold the iPad in place) peeling off. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product, and expect to get a lot of use out of it. -Shawcago
I'm very happy with it. -Pamela
In the last day since I received this I have tried as many positions as i could think of with this stand ( iPad Kama Sutra ) short of the tub, I'll skip that one.
The results are in... This is the most useful iPad stand out there as far as I'm concerned.
In bed, slouched on the couch and on a desk... Perfect!
If you've been looking for an all purpose stand for you're iPad you can bet that this will work for whatever you have in mind. -Frank Stuart
I ordered this for my Mom for Christmas so thought I would test it out in my room while relaxing in bed. Kept testing it. Wrapped it for Christmas but not before getting on Amazon to order one for me. I like the adjustment feature.

Surprisingly useful iPad accessory; Makes it comfortable to use your iPad on your lap; holds the iPad securely in place; can be used with other tablets and with tablets in a variety of cases; has a pocket to store the iPad and accessories; comes with its own bag - Gear Diary
A very comfortable, not too thick, but nicely padded lap desk that appears to be fairly well constructed. I am using this with the new iPad Retina Display and the Kindle Fire Hd 7". The variety of viewing angles should accommodate most any requirement. It has a nice lip on the front to keep your device from slipping off the front. xxx

I love this iPad holder/desk!!! I read about so many others that had some kind of design flaw that made me hesitant to purchase one. The Prop 'n Go Slim is the best! No matter where I am sitting, I can get the right angle. I bought it to use on my lap while sitting or in bed, but I found It also works great on a table or countertop. The memory foam is so comfortable and it is much easier to use the iPad without having to hold it or balance it on my lap. I was concerned that the price was high and I would be disappointed. It is well made and worth the price. I use it every time I use my iPad. I highly recommend it!!!
Tyrus
I to the polka dot and loved it. Perfect for lap, table or bed. So many choices of angles and the pillow part is comfy. The iPad does not shift on it. Got hubby one immediately and he uses it all the time. Best workable portable stand I've found.
Yorkie Mama
Simple design and well made. Works perfectly and the slim profile makes it easy to take with me. Really has reduced my neck strain now that I can view my ipad at the proper angles.
Ronald A. Hutter
This product changes the way I do school! I am a college student and because the Prop 'n Go is so slim and lightweight I can easily put it in my backpack and take it to school with me, so convenient! Not only does it make typing and doing school work on my IPad much easier, it also props up textbooks. After all the homework, its the perfect tool to prop up my Netflix! The memory foam is so comfortable and the polka dots are so cute! Overall, this product is the best. If you have an IPad, Kindle or any other tablet, this is the product for you!
College Girl
My sister and i were ine of the first people to recieve this product and we love it! It it suprisingly lighweight and very versatile. It is nice that you can adjust the angle to fit your needs. The memory foam fabric keeps you cool after sitting. And the polka dots are a nice touch :)
Mary
I bought this book stand based on previous reviews and certainly didn't go wrong. It fills the bill by being useful in a chair, table, in bed or where ever. I've had several book stands that were a waste of time and money. This is an excellent product and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's not cheap and good thing because it's certainly worth it. It's a 5 star item.
Ronald Edward Ladue
I'm in love with the Prop 'n Go Slim. It makes using my iPad so comfortable in any position. I have a couple of other stands, but this is by far the best. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro straps so I could just carry the iPad and Prop 'n Go around all together. Nice price, too. I think you will be happy with this one.
Meisler
I have the black Prop n' Go slim--I didn't realize it also comes in blue! It is incredibly useful. I haven't tried any other products such as this, but I can't imagine needing anything more than the P n' G Slim. It is a very well-made product and is perfect for my iPad. Because of sore joints, I can't hold up my iPad myself for very long, so having a lap stand is necessary for my comfort.
MerriCarol
I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.
AngelAnn
The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.
Jonathan
My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.
RB601
Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!
Yorkie Mama
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.
YaYa
For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.
S. Booth
As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.

I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!

A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!

Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!

This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!

I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

I love this product. It leaves my hands-free while i use my iPad on my lap. I feel liberated.

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.
Wizee
My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.

I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.

This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!

I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.

I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.

I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.

I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)

Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,

Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable
Claire
Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
It's just as it appears in your pictures, clips, and description, and is perfect in all kinds of positions when using the iPad -Ronni
It works perfect for my iPad whether I am using it in the car or at home. Durable, well made, ease of use, if you have problems with the muscles in your neck or shoulders when reading, this is a God send. -Kathy
I really love this product for my ipad - and in fact should get a commission as I've already talked at least one friend into buying one :) -Janice
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accommodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with iPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle. - Bookfantastic
This lapdesk for the iPad is a must have if you use an iPad! -Sherrill
I love this thing. I use it for my Kindle and my iPad all the time when I'm sitting on my couch. I had the earlier, vinyl version -- it's was bigger and the vinyl ripped in several places (I covered the rips and still used it). This one, even though it's small, seems sturdier. No cons. It just does a great job. -
S. Stonick "Cyberspastic"
It makes it, not only possible, but pleasurable to use the iPad in bed, on the sofa. -Bernard
I will not use my Viewsonic Gtab without it while at the house. -Jeromy
Best lap desk I have ever bought! And I have bought a bunch of them! -Sherri
...much needed for the Kindle, and was very appreciated as a gift. -Carleen
I really lucked out spotting this prop, because I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't have to go through the learning process of finding a vinyl pillow too hot, or props that didn't have enough angles. First time out, I ended up with a cool, comfortable prop which will hold tablets, books, and other stuff, as long as I can get it away from my husband. He's getting his own for Christmas! If there were problems with earlier models, they had ironed them out by the time I got mine. Highly recommended. - Geezer "mizbooks"
The best iPad stand! -Cathy
Met Ben from Padded Spaces who just demoed and launched a snazzy new iPad case. Check it out -Toastcowboy
Absolutely the best iPad case I've encountered -Jim
I just ordered this for my kindle because my hands also get tired because I read for hours at a time. - CarolinaGirl
Nice folks - emailed me back in minutes when I had a couple of questions. I checked if having a cover on the device would interfere, and was told it was fine; in fact one of the videos shows the same cover I have on the ipad. - Bjeans
Padded Spaces a pensé à vous en créant le Prop 'n Go, un dock qui va vous permettre de positionner votre iPad dans différents angles, confortablement installé sur vos genoux grâce à son support rembourré et à ses crans de réglage. -VIPad.fr
Prop 'n Go is an outstanding product -Chuck
With neck fusion surgeries that have left me with virtually no movement in the neck and extremely limited movement of both arms, I was losing the ability to use my small electronic equipment. I had not used my beloved Kindle in over a month. My home computer is fitted with a gas airlift, but similar devices are not made for smaller items. I decided to order this item to see if I could use the devices again. I expected that I would have to ask my husband to return it. It was a very happy surprise to see this product simply holds my Kindle and iPad while I read.
I am extremely grateful to the company for manufacturing it and to Amazon for carrying it. -Land of enchantment
Thank you, Prop 'n Go! -Shanna
Padded Spaces makes my favorite lap top desks! -Will
I just ordered Prop 'n Go Lite - Hybrid Lap Stand for iPad & Kindle with Adjustable Angle Control for my unexpected ipad2 - and it's for the Fire as well. It can even be used for DTBs!. - Bjeans

What I first thought was just another lap desk, turned out to be the perfect solution for my iPad. -Oche
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!! -ghuges
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. -Juliew

...an adjustable stand that works on your lap as well as it does on a reclined belly. -Chistopher Breen at Macworld.com
WOW! This thing is amazing. -Clint
Prop 'n Go allows me to use my iPad hands-free, and it can be easily adjusted to the perfect viewing angle, which makes it great for watching videos wherever you wish. It's reasonably small but sturdy and appears to be well-built. I've only used it for about a week and haven't experienced any of the problems that some have reported with the grip strips (that hold the iPad in place) peeling off. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product, and expect to get a lot of use out of it. -Shawcago
I'm very happy with it. -Pamela
In the last day since I received this I have tried as many positions as i could think of with this stand ( iPad Kama Sutra ) short of the tub, I'll skip that one.
The results are in... This is the most useful iPad stand out there as far as I'm concerned.
In bed, slouched on the couch and on a desk... Perfect!
If you've been looking for an all purpose stand for you're iPad you can bet that this will work for whatever you have in mind. -Frank Stuart
I ordered this for my Mom for Christmas so thought I would test it out in my room while relaxing in bed. Kept testing it. Wrapped it for Christmas but not before getting on Amazon to order one for me. I like the adjustment feature.

Surprisingly useful iPad accessory; Makes it comfortable to use your iPad on your lap; holds the iPad securely in place; can be used with other tablets and with tablets in a variety of cases; has a pocket to store the iPad and accessories; comes with its own bag - Gear Diary
A very comfortable, not too thick, but nicely padded lap desk that appears to be fairly well constructed. I am using this with the new iPad Retina Display and the Kindle Fire Hd 7". The variety of viewing angles should accommodate most any requirement. It has a nice lip on the front to keep your device from slipping off the front. xxx

I love this iPad holder/desk!!! I read about so many others that had some kind of design flaw that made me hesitant to purchase one. The Prop 'n Go Slim is the best! No matter where I am sitting, I can get the right angle. I bought it to use on my lap while sitting or in bed, but I found It also works great on a table or countertop. The memory foam is so comfortable and it is much easier to use the iPad without having to hold it or balance it on my lap. I was concerned that the price was high and I would be disappointed. It is well made and worth the price. I use it every time I use my iPad. I highly recommend it!!!
Tyrus
I to the polka dot and loved it. Perfect for lap, table or bed. So many choices of angles and the pillow part is comfy. The iPad does not shift on it. Got hubby one immediately and he uses it all the time. Best workable portable stand I've found.
Yorkie Mama
Simple design and well made. Works perfectly and the slim profile makes it easy to take with me. Really has reduced my neck strain now that I can view my ipad at the proper angles.
Ronald A. Hutter
This product changes the way I do school! I am a college student and because the Prop 'n Go is so slim and lightweight I can easily put it in my backpack and take it to school with me, so convenient! Not only does it make typing and doing school work on my IPad much easier, it also props up textbooks. After all the homework, its the perfect tool to prop up my Netflix! The memory foam is so comfortable and the polka dots are so cute! Overall, this product is the best. If you have an IPad, Kindle or any other tablet, this is the product for you!
College Girl
My sister and i were ine of the first people to recieve this product and we love it! It it suprisingly lighweight and very versatile. It is nice that you can adjust the angle to fit your needs. The memory foam fabric keeps you cool after sitting. And the polka dots are a nice touch :)
Mary
I bought this book stand based on previous reviews and certainly didn't go wrong. It fills the bill by being useful in a chair, table, in bed or where ever. I've had several book stands that were a waste of time and money. This is an excellent product and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's not cheap and good thing because it's certainly worth it. It's a 5 star item.
Ronald Edward Ladue
I'm in love with the Prop 'n Go Slim. It makes using my iPad so comfortable in any position. I have a couple of other stands, but this is by far the best. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro straps so I could just carry the iPad and Prop 'n Go around all together. Nice price, too. I think you will be happy with this one.
Meisler
I have the black Prop n' Go slim--I didn't realize it also comes in blue! It is incredibly useful. I haven't tried any other products such as this, but I can't imagine needing anything more than the P n' G Slim. It is a very well-made product and is perfect for my iPad. Because of sore joints, I can't hold up my iPad myself for very long, so having a lap stand is necessary for my comfort.
MerriCarol
I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.
AngelAnn
The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.

My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.
RB601
Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!
Yorkie Mama
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.
YaYa
For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.
S. Booth
As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.
Tammie T. Mconnell
I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!
Judy Pluenneke
A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!
Luther Eddleman
This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!

I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.

My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.

This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.

I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.

I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.

I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)

Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !

I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,

Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
I really love this product for my ipad - and in fact should get a commission as I've already talked at least one friend into buying one :) -Janice
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accommodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with iPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle. - Bookfantastic
This lapdesk for the iPad is a must have if you use an iPad! -Sherrill
I love this thing. I use it for my Kindle and my iPad all the time when I'm sitting on my couch. I had the earlier, vinyl version -- it's was bigger and the vinyl ripped in several places (I covered the rips and still used it). This one, even though it's small, seems sturdier. No cons. It just does a great job. -
S. Stonick "Cyberspastic"
It makes it, not only possible, but pleasurable to use the iPad in bed, on the sofa. -Bernard
I will not use my Viewsonic Gtab without it while at the house. -Jeromy
Best lap desk I have ever bought! And I have bought a bunch of them! -Sherri
...much needed for the Kindle, and was very appreciated as a gift. -Carleen
I really lucked out spotting this prop, because I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't have to go through the learning process of finding a vinyl pillow too hot, or props that didn't have enough angles. First time out, I ended up with a cool, comfortable prop which will hold tablets, books, and other stuff, as long as I can get it away from my husband. He's getting his own for Christmas! If there were problems with earlier models, they had ironed them out by the time I got mine. Highly recommended. - Geezer "mizbooks"
The best iPad stand! -Cathy

I just ordered this for my kindle because my hands also get tired because I read for hours at a time. - CarolinaGirl
Nice folks - emailed me back in minutes when I had a couple of questions. I checked if having a cover on the device would interfere, and was told it was fine; in fact one of the videos shows the same cover I have on the ipad. - Bjeans

Prop 'n Go is an outstanding product -Chuck
With neck fusion surgeries that have left me with virtually no movement in the neck and extremely limited movement of both arms, I was losing the ability to use my small electronic equipment. I had not used my beloved Kindle in over a month. My home computer is fitted with a gas airlift, but similar devices are not made for smaller items. I decided to order this item to see if I could use the devices again. I expected that I would have to ask my husband to return it. It was a very happy surprise to see this product simply holds my Kindle and iPad while I read.
I am extremely grateful to the company for manufacturing it and to Amazon for carrying it. -Land of enchantment
Thank you, Prop 'n Go! -Shanna
Padded Spaces makes my favorite lap top desks! -Will

...an adjustable stand that works on your lap as well as it does on a reclined belly. -Chistopher Breen at Macworld.com
WOW! This thing is amazing. -Clint
Prop 'n Go allows me to use my iPad hands-free, and it can be easily adjusted to the perfect viewing angle, which makes it great for watching videos wherever you wish. It's reasonably small but sturdy and appears to be well-built. I've only used it for about a week and haven't experienced any of the problems that some have reported with the grip strips (that hold the iPad in place) peeling off. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product, and expect to get a lot of use out of it. -Shawcago
I'm very happy with it. -Pamela
In the last day since I received this I have tried as many positions as i could think of with this stand ( iPad Kama Sutra ) short of the tub, I'll skip that one.
The results are in... This is the most useful iPad stand out there as far as I'm concerned.
In bed, slouched on the couch and on a desk... Perfect!
If you've been looking for an all purpose stand for you're iPad you can bet that this will work for whatever you have in mind. -Frank Stuart
I ordered this for my Mom for Christmas so thought I would test it out in my room while relaxing in bed. Kept testing it. Wrapped it for Christmas but not before getting on Amazon to order one for me. I like the adjustment feature.

Surprisingly useful iPad accessory; Makes it comfortable to use your iPad on your lap; holds the iPad securely in place; can be used with other tablets and with tablets in a variety of cases; has a pocket to store the iPad and accessories; comes with its own bag - Gear Diary
A very comfortable, not too thick, but nicely padded lap desk that appears to be fairly well constructed. I am using this with the new iPad Retina Display and the Kindle Fire Hd 7". The variety of viewing angles should accommodate most any requirement. It has a nice lip on the front to keep your device from slipping off the front. xxx

I love this iPad holder/desk!!! I read about so many others that had some kind of design flaw that made me hesitant to purchase one. The Prop 'n Go Slim is the best! No matter where I am sitting, I can get the right angle. I bought it to use on my lap while sitting or in bed, but I found It also works great on a table or countertop. The memory foam is so comfortable and it is much easier to use the iPad without having to hold it or balance it on my lap. I was concerned that the price was high and I would be disappointed. It is well made and worth the price. I use it every time I use my iPad. I highly recommend it!!!
Tyrus
I to the polka dot and loved it. Perfect for lap, table or bed. So many choices of angles and the pillow part is comfy. The iPad does not shift on it. Got hubby one immediately and he uses it all the time. Best workable portable stand I've found.
Yorkie Mama
Simple design and well made. Works perfectly and the slim profile makes it easy to take with me. Really has reduced my neck strain now that I can view my ipad at the proper angles.
Ronald A. Hutter
This product changes the way I do school! I am a college student and because the Prop 'n Go is so slim and lightweight I can easily put it in my backpack and take it to school with me, so convenient! Not only does it make typing and doing school work on my IPad much easier, it also props up textbooks. After all the homework, its the perfect tool to prop up my Netflix! The memory foam is so comfortable and the polka dots are so cute! Overall, this product is the best. If you have an IPad, Kindle or any other tablet, this is the product for you!
College Girl
My sister and i were ine of the first people to recieve this product and we love it! It it suprisingly lighweight and very versatile. It is nice that you can adjust the angle to fit your needs. The memory foam fabric keeps you cool after sitting. And the polka dots are a nice touch :)
Mary
I bought this book stand based on previous reviews and certainly didn't go wrong. It fills the bill by being useful in a chair, table, in bed or where ever. I've had several book stands that were a waste of time and money. This is an excellent product and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's not cheap and good thing because it's certainly worth it. It's a 5 star item.
Ronald Edward Ladue
I'm in love with the Prop 'n Go Slim. It makes using my iPad so comfortable in any position. I have a couple of other stands, but this is by far the best. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro straps so I could just carry the iPad and Prop 'n Go around all together. Nice price, too. I think you will be happy with this one.
Meisler
I have the black Prop n' Go slim--I didn't realize it also comes in blue! It is incredibly useful. I haven't tried any other products such as this, but I can't imagine needing anything more than the P n' G Slim. It is a very well-made product and is perfect for my iPad. Because of sore joints, I can't hold up my iPad myself for very long, so having a lap stand is necessary for my comfort.
MerriCarol
I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.
AngelAnn
The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.

My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.

Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!
Yorkie Mama
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.

For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.
S. Booth
As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.
Tammie T. Mconnell
I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!
Judy Pluenneke
A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!

This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!

I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.

My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.

I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)

I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accommodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with iPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle. - Bookfantastic
This lapdesk for the iPad is a must have if you use an iPad! -Sherrill
I love this thing. I use it for my Kindle and my iPad all the time when I'm sitting on my couch. I had the earlier, vinyl version -- it's was bigger and the vinyl ripped in several places (I covered the rips and still used it). This one, even though it's small, seems sturdier. No cons. It just does a great job. -
S. Stonick "Cyberspastic"
It makes it, not only possible, but pleasurable to use the iPad in bed, on the sofa. -Bernard
I will not use my Viewsonic Gtab without it while at the house. -Jeromy
Best lap desk I have ever bought! And I have bought a bunch of them! -Sherri
...much needed for the Kindle, and was very appreciated as a gift. -Carleen
I really lucked out spotting this prop, because I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't have to go through the learning process of finding a vinyl pillow too hot, or props that didn't have enough angles. First time out, I ended up with a cool, comfortable prop which will hold tablets, books, and other stuff, as long as I can get it away from my husband. He's getting his own for Christmas! If there were problems with earlier models, they had ironed them out by the time I got mine. Highly recommended. - Geezer "mizbooks"
The best iPad stand! -Cathy

I just ordered this for my kindle because my hands also get tired because I read for hours at a time. - CarolinaGirl
Nice folks - emailed me back in minutes when I had a couple of questions. I checked if having a cover on the device would interfere, and was told it was fine; in fact one of the videos shows the same cover I have on the ipad. - Bjeans

Prop 'n Go is an outstanding product -Chuck
With neck fusion surgeries that have left me with virtually no movement in the neck and extremely limited movement of both arms, I was losing the ability to use my small electronic equipment. I had not used my beloved Kindle in over a month. My home computer is fitted with a gas airlift, but similar devices are not made for smaller items. I decided to order this item to see if I could use the devices again. I expected that I would have to ask my husband to return it. It was a very happy surprise to see this product simply holds my Kindle and iPad while I read.
I am extremely grateful to the company for manufacturing it and to Amazon for carrying it. -Land of enchantment
Thank you, Prop 'n Go! -Shanna
Padded Spaces makes my favorite lap top desks! -Will

...an adjustable stand that works on your lap as well as it does on a reclined belly. -Chistopher Breen at Macworld.com
WOW! This thing is amazing. -Clint
Prop 'n Go allows me to use my iPad hands-free, and it can be easily adjusted to the perfect viewing angle, which makes it great for watching videos wherever you wish. It's reasonably small but sturdy and appears to be well-built. I've only used it for about a week and haven't experienced any of the problems that some have reported with the grip strips (that hold the iPad in place) peeling off. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product, and expect to get a lot of use out of it. -Shawcago
I'm very happy with it. -Pamela
In the last day since I received this I have tried as many positions as i could think of with this stand ( iPad Kama Sutra ) short of the tub, I'll skip that one.
The results are in... This is the most useful iPad stand out there as far as I'm concerned.
In bed, slouched on the couch and on a desk... Perfect!
If you've been looking for an all purpose stand for you're iPad you can bet that this will work for whatever you have in mind. -Frank Stuart
I ordered this for my Mom for Christmas so thought I would test it out in my room while relaxing in bed. Kept testing it. Wrapped it for Christmas but not before getting on Amazon to order one for me. I like the adjustment feature.

Surprisingly useful iPad accessory; Makes it comfortable to use your iPad on your lap; holds the iPad securely in place; can be used with other tablets and with tablets in a variety of cases; has a pocket to store the iPad and accessories; comes with its own bag - Gear Diary
A very comfortable, not too thick, but nicely padded lap desk that appears to be fairly well constructed. I am using this with the new iPad Retina Display and the Kindle Fire Hd 7". The variety of viewing angles should accommodate most any requirement. It has a nice lip on the front to keep your device from slipping off the front. xxx

I love this iPad holder/desk!!! I read about so many others that had some kind of design flaw that made me hesitant to purchase one. The Prop 'n Go Slim is the best! No matter where I am sitting, I can get the right angle. I bought it to use on my lap while sitting or in bed, but I found It also works great on a table or countertop. The memory foam is so comfortable and it is much easier to use the iPad without having to hold it or balance it on my lap. I was concerned that the price was high and I would be disappointed. It is well made and worth the price. I use it every time I use my iPad. I highly recommend it!!!
Tyrus
I to the polka dot and loved it. Perfect for lap, table or bed. So many choices of angles and the pillow part is comfy. The iPad does not shift on it. Got hubby one immediately and he uses it all the time. Best workable portable stand I've found.
Yorkie Mama
Simple design and well made. Works perfectly and the slim profile makes it easy to take with me. Really has reduced my neck strain now that I can view my ipad at the proper angles.
Ronald A. Hutter
This product changes the way I do school! I am a college student and because the Prop 'n Go is so slim and lightweight I can easily put it in my backpack and take it to school with me, so convenient! Not only does it make typing and doing school work on my IPad much easier, it also props up textbooks. After all the homework, its the perfect tool to prop up my Netflix! The memory foam is so comfortable and the polka dots are so cute! Overall, this product is the best. If you have an IPad, Kindle or any other tablet, this is the product for you!
College Girl
My sister and i were ine of the first people to recieve this product and we love it! It it suprisingly lighweight and very versatile. It is nice that you can adjust the angle to fit your needs. The memory foam fabric keeps you cool after sitting. And the polka dots are a nice touch :)
Mary
I bought this book stand based on previous reviews and certainly didn't go wrong. It fills the bill by being useful in a chair, table, in bed or where ever. I've had several book stands that were a waste of time and money. This is an excellent product and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's not cheap and good thing because it's certainly worth it. It's a 5 star item.
Ronald Edward Ladue
I'm in love with the Prop 'n Go Slim. It makes using my iPad so comfortable in any position. I have a couple of other stands, but this is by far the best. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro straps so I could just carry the iPad and Prop 'n Go around all together. Nice price, too. I think you will be happy with this one.
Meisler
I have the black Prop n' Go slim--I didn't realize it also comes in blue! It is incredibly useful. I haven't tried any other products such as this, but I can't imagine needing anything more than the P n' G Slim. It is a very well-made product and is perfect for my iPad. Because of sore joints, I can't hold up my iPad myself for very long, so having a lap stand is necessary for my comfort.
MerriCarol
I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.
AngelAnn
The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.
Jonathan
My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.

Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!
Yorkie Mama
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.
YaYa
For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.

As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.
Tammie T. Mconnell
I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!
Judy Pluenneke
A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!

This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!
Terry L. Kelly
I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.

My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.

I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.

I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.
Tip Stott
I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
It makes it, not only possible, but pleasurable to use the iPad in bed, on the sofa. -Bernard
I will not use my Viewsonic Gtab without it while at the house. -Jeromy
Best lap desk I have ever bought! And I have bought a bunch of them! -Sherri
...much needed for the Kindle, and was very appreciated as a gift. -Carleen
I really lucked out spotting this prop, because I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't have to go through the learning process of finding a vinyl pillow too hot, or props that didn't have enough angles. First time out, I ended up with a cool, comfortable prop which will hold tablets, books, and other stuff, as long as I can get it away from my husband. He's getting his own for Christmas! If there were problems with earlier models, they had ironed them out by the time I got mine. Highly recommended. - Geezer "mizbooks"
The best iPad stand! -Cathy

Absolutely the best iPad case I've encountered -Jim
I just ordered this for my kindle because my hands also get tired because I read for hours at a time. - CarolinaGirl
Nice folks - emailed me back in minutes when I had a couple of questions. I checked if having a cover on the device would interfere, and was told it was fine; in fact one of the videos shows the same cover I have on the ipad. - Bjeans
Padded Spaces a pensé à vous en créant le Prop 'n Go, un dock qui va vous permettre de positionner votre iPad dans différents angles, confortablement installé sur vos genoux grâce à son support rembourré et à ses crans de réglage. -VIPad.fr
Prop 'n Go is an outstanding product -Chuck
With neck fusion surgeries that have left me with virtually no movement in the neck and extremely limited movement of both arms, I was losing the ability to use my small electronic equipment. I had not used my beloved Kindle in over a month. My home computer is fitted with a gas airlift, but similar devices are not made for smaller items. I decided to order this item to see if I could use the devices again. I expected that I would have to ask my husband to return it. It was a very happy surprise to see this product simply holds my Kindle and iPad while I read.
I am extremely grateful to the company for manufacturing it and to Amazon for carrying it. -Land of enchantment
Thank you, Prop 'n Go! -Shanna
Padded Spaces makes my favorite lap top desks! -Will
I just ordered Prop 'n Go Lite - Hybrid Lap Stand for iPad & Kindle with Adjustable Angle Control for my unexpected ipad2 - and it's for the Fire as well. It can even be used for DTBs!. - Bjeans
Of all the things I tried, this was the nicest iPad stand for around the house... -Mel Martin

What I first thought was just another lap desk, turned out to be the perfect solution for my iPad. -Oche
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!! -ghuges
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. -Juliew
...if anyone is looking for a lap stand to use with an IPad they really should have a look at the prop'n'go on @PaddedSpaces website. -F1Cartoonz
It's very versatile and I now consider this a must accessory for the iPad to improve usability. -MadDog
...an adjustable stand that works on your lap as well as it does on a reclined belly. -Chistopher Breen at Macworld.com
WOW! This thing is amazing. -Clint
Prop 'n Go allows me to use my iPad hands-free, and it can be easily adjusted to the perfect viewing angle, which makes it great for watching videos wherever you wish. It's reasonably small but sturdy and appears to be well-built. I've only used it for about a week and haven't experienced any of the problems that some have reported with the grip strips (that hold the iPad in place) peeling off. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product, and expect to get a lot of use out of it. -Shawcago
I'm very happy with it. -Pamela
In the last day since I received this I have tried as many positions as i could think of with this stand ( iPad Kama Sutra ) short of the tub, I'll skip that one.
The results are in... This is the most useful iPad stand out there as far as I'm concerned.
In bed, slouched on the couch and on a desk... Perfect!
If you've been looking for an all purpose stand for you're iPad you can bet that this will work for whatever you have in mind. -Frank Stuart
I ordered this for my Mom for Christmas so thought I would test it out in my room while relaxing in bed. Kept testing it. Wrapped it for Christmas but not before getting on Amazon to order one for me. I like the adjustment feature.

Surprisingly useful iPad accessory; Makes it comfortable to use your iPad on your lap; holds the iPad securely in place; can be used with other tablets and with tablets in a variety of cases; has a pocket to store the iPad and accessories; comes with its own bag - Gear Diary
A very comfortable, not too thick, but nicely padded lap desk that appears to be fairly well constructed. I am using this with the new iPad Retina Display and the Kindle Fire Hd 7". The variety of viewing angles should accommodate most any requirement. It has a nice lip on the front to keep your device from slipping off the front. xxx

I love this iPad holder/desk!!! I read about so many others that had some kind of design flaw that made me hesitant to purchase one. The Prop 'n Go Slim is the best! No matter where I am sitting, I can get the right angle. I bought it to use on my lap while sitting or in bed, but I found It also works great on a table or countertop. The memory foam is so comfortable and it is much easier to use the iPad without having to hold it or balance it on my lap. I was concerned that the price was high and I would be disappointed. It is well made and worth the price. I use it every time I use my iPad. I highly recommend it!!!
Tyrus
I to the polka dot and loved it. Perfect for lap, table or bed. So many choices of angles and the pillow part is comfy. The iPad does not shift on it. Got hubby one immediately and he uses it all the time. Best workable portable stand I've found.
Yorkie Mama
Simple design and well made. Works perfectly and the slim profile makes it easy to take with me. Really has reduced my neck strain now that I can view my ipad at the proper angles.
Ronald A. Hutter
This product changes the way I do school! I am a college student and because the Prop 'n Go is so slim and lightweight I can easily put it in my backpack and take it to school with me, so convenient! Not only does it make typing and doing school work on my IPad much easier, it also props up textbooks. After all the homework, its the perfect tool to prop up my Netflix! The memory foam is so comfortable and the polka dots are so cute! Overall, this product is the best. If you have an IPad, Kindle or any other tablet, this is the product for you!
College Girl
My sister and i were ine of the first people to recieve this product and we love it! It it suprisingly lighweight and very versatile. It is nice that you can adjust the angle to fit your needs. The memory foam fabric keeps you cool after sitting. And the polka dots are a nice touch :)
Mary
I bought this book stand based on previous reviews and certainly didn't go wrong. It fills the bill by being useful in a chair, table, in bed or where ever. I've had several book stands that were a waste of time and money. This is an excellent product and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's not cheap and good thing because it's certainly worth it. It's a 5 star item.
Ronald Edward Ladue
I'm in love with the Prop 'n Go Slim. It makes using my iPad so comfortable in any position. I have a couple of other stands, but this is by far the best. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro straps so I could just carry the iPad and Prop 'n Go around all together. Nice price, too. I think you will be happy with this one.
Meisler
I have the black Prop n' Go slim--I didn't realize it also comes in blue! It is incredibly useful. I haven't tried any other products such as this, but I can't imagine needing anything more than the P n' G Slim. It is a very well-made product and is perfect for my iPad. Because of sore joints, I can't hold up my iPad myself for very long, so having a lap stand is necessary for my comfort.
MerriCarol
I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.
AngelAnn
The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.
Jonathan
My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.
RB601
Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!
Yorkie Mama
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.
YaYa
For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.

As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.

I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!
Judy Pluenneke
A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!
Luther Eddleman
This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!
Terry L. Kelly
I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.

My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.

Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.

I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.

The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!

The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.

Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.
Tip Stott
I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.
Vol-au-vent
Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...
GSARider "Riding the world"
this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
Best lap desk I have ever bought! And I have bought a bunch of them! -Sherri
...much needed for the Kindle, and was very appreciated as a gift. -Carleen
I really lucked out spotting this prop, because I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't have to go through the learning process of finding a vinyl pillow too hot, or props that didn't have enough angles. First time out, I ended up with a cool, comfortable prop which will hold tablets, books, and other stuff, as long as I can get it away from my husband. He's getting his own for Christmas! If there were problems with earlier models, they had ironed them out by the time I got mine. Highly recommended. - Geezer "mizbooks"
The best iPad stand! -Cathy
Met Ben from Padded Spaces who just demoed and launched a snazzy new iPad case. Check it out -Toastcowboy
Absolutely the best iPad case I've encountered -Jim
I just ordered this for my kindle because my hands also get tired because I read for hours at a time. - CarolinaGirl
Nice folks - emailed me back in minutes when I had a couple of questions. I checked if having a cover on the device would interfere, and was told it was fine; in fact one of the videos shows the same cover I have on the ipad. - Bjeans
Padded Spaces a pensé à vous en créant le Prop 'n Go, un dock qui va vous permettre de positionner votre iPad dans différents angles, confortablement installé sur vos genoux grâce à son support rembourré et à ses crans de réglage. -VIPad.fr
Prop 'n Go is an outstanding product -Chuck
With neck fusion surgeries that have left me with virtually no movement in the neck and extremely limited movement of both arms, I was losing the ability to use my small electronic equipment. I had not used my beloved Kindle in over a month. My home computer is fitted with a gas airlift, but similar devices are not made for smaller items. I decided to order this item to see if I could use the devices again. I expected that I would have to ask my husband to return it. It was a very happy surprise to see this product simply holds my Kindle and iPad while I read.
I am extremely grateful to the company for manufacturing it and to Amazon for carrying it. -Land of enchantment

WOW! This thing is amazing. -Clint
Prop 'n Go allows me to use my iPad hands-free, and it can be easily adjusted to the perfect viewing angle, which makes it great for watching videos wherever you wish. It's reasonably small but sturdy and appears to be well-built. I've only used it for about a week and haven't experienced any of the problems that some have reported with the grip strips (that hold the iPad in place) peeling off. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product, and expect to get a lot of use out of it. -Shawcago
I'm very happy with it. -Pamela
In the last day since I received this I have tried as many positions as i could think of with this stand ( iPad Kama Sutra ) short of the tub, I'll skip that one.
The results are in... This is the most useful iPad stand out there as far as I'm concerned.
In bed, slouched on the couch and on a desk... Perfect!
If you've been looking for an all purpose stand for you're iPad you can bet that this will work for whatever you have in mind. -Frank Stuart
I ordered this for my Mom for Christmas so thought I would test it out in my room while relaxing in bed. Kept testing it. Wrapped it for Christmas but not before getting on Amazon to order one for me. I like the adjustment feature.

Surprisingly useful iPad accessory; Makes it comfortable to use your iPad on your lap; holds the iPad securely in place; can be used with other tablets and with tablets in a variety of cases; has a pocket to store the iPad and accessories; comes with its own bag - Gear Diary
A very comfortable, not too thick, but nicely padded lap desk that appears to be fairly well constructed. I am using this with the new iPad Retina Display and the Kindle Fire Hd 7". The variety of viewing angles should accommodate most any requirement. It has a nice lip on the front to keep your device from slipping off the front. xxx

I love this iPad holder/desk!!! I read about so many others that had some kind of design flaw that made me hesitant to purchase one. The Prop 'n Go Slim is the best! No matter where I am sitting, I can get the right angle. I bought it to use on my lap while sitting or in bed, but I found It also works great on a table or countertop. The memory foam is so comfortable and it is much easier to use the iPad without having to hold it or balance it on my lap. I was concerned that the price was high and I would be disappointed. It is well made and worth the price. I use it every time I use my iPad. I highly recommend it!!!
Tyrus
I to the polka dot and loved it. Perfect for lap, table or bed. So many choices of angles and the pillow part is comfy. The iPad does not shift on it. Got hubby one immediately and he uses it all the time. Best workable portable stand I've found.
Yorkie Mama
Simple design and well made. Works perfectly and the slim profile makes it easy to take with me. Really has reduced my neck strain now that I can view my ipad at the proper angles.
Ronald A. Hutter
This product changes the way I do school! I am a college student and because the Prop 'n Go is so slim and lightweight I can easily put it in my backpack and take it to school with me, so convenient! Not only does it make typing and doing school work on my IPad much easier, it also props up textbooks. After all the homework, its the perfect tool to prop up my Netflix! The memory foam is so comfortable and the polka dots are so cute! Overall, this product is the best. If you have an IPad, Kindle or any other tablet, this is the product for you!
College Girl
My sister and i were ine of the first people to recieve this product and we love it! It it suprisingly lighweight and very versatile. It is nice that you can adjust the angle to fit your needs. The memory foam fabric keeps you cool after sitting. And the polka dots are a nice touch :)
Mary
I bought this book stand based on previous reviews and certainly didn't go wrong. It fills the bill by being useful in a chair, table, in bed or where ever. I've had several book stands that were a waste of time and money. This is an excellent product and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's not cheap and good thing because it's certainly worth it. It's a 5 star item.
Ronald Edward Ladue
I'm in love with the Prop 'n Go Slim. It makes using my iPad so comfortable in any position. I have a couple of other stands, but this is by far the best. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro straps so I could just carry the iPad and Prop 'n Go around all together. Nice price, too. I think you will be happy with this one.
Meisler
I have the black Prop n' Go slim--I didn't realize it also comes in blue! It is incredibly useful. I haven't tried any other products such as this, but I can't imagine needing anything more than the P n' G Slim. It is a very well-made product and is perfect for my iPad. Because of sore joints, I can't hold up my iPad myself for very long, so having a lap stand is necessary for my comfort.
MerriCarol
I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.
AngelAnn
The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.
Jonathan
My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.
RB601
Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!
Yorkie Mama
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.
YaYa
For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.

As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.

I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!
Judy Pluenneke
A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!
Luther Eddleman
This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!
Terry L. Kelly
I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

I love this product. It leaves my hands-free while i use my iPad on my lap. I feel liberated.

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.
Wizee
My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.

I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....

The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.

I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.

Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.
Tip Stott
I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.
Vol-au-vent
Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...
GSARider "Riding the world"
this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
I really lucked out spotting this prop, because I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't have to go through the learning process of finding a vinyl pillow too hot, or props that didn't have enough angles. First time out, I ended up with a cool, comfortable prop which will hold tablets, books, and other stuff, as long as I can get it away from my husband. He's getting his own for Christmas! If there were problems with earlier models, they had ironed them out by the time I got mine. Highly recommended. - Geezer "mizbooks"

Prop 'n Go is an outstanding product -Chuck
With neck fusion surgeries that have left me with virtually no movement in the neck and extremely limited movement of both arms, I was losing the ability to use my small electronic equipment. I had not used my beloved Kindle in over a month. My home computer is fitted with a gas airlift, but similar devices are not made for smaller items. I decided to order this item to see if I could use the devices again. I expected that I would have to ask my husband to return it. It was a very happy surprise to see this product simply holds my Kindle and iPad while I read.
I am extremely grateful to the company for manufacturing it and to Amazon for carrying it. -Land of enchantment
Thank you, Prop 'n Go! -Shanna

Prop 'n Go allows me to use my iPad hands-free, and it can be easily adjusted to the perfect viewing angle, which makes it great for watching videos wherever you wish. It's reasonably small but sturdy and appears to be well-built. I've only used it for about a week and haven't experienced any of the problems that some have reported with the grip strips (that hold the iPad in place) peeling off. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product, and expect to get a lot of use out of it. -Shawcago
I'm very happy with it. -Pamela
In the last day since I received this I have tried as many positions as i could think of with this stand ( iPad Kama Sutra ) short of the tub, I'll skip that one.
The results are in... This is the most useful iPad stand out there as far as I'm concerned.
In bed, slouched on the couch and on a desk... Perfect!
If you've been looking for an all purpose stand for you're iPad you can bet that this will work for whatever you have in mind. -Frank Stuart
I ordered this for my Mom for Christmas so thought I would test it out in my room while relaxing in bed. Kept testing it. Wrapped it for Christmas but not before getting on Amazon to order one for me. I like the adjustment feature.

Surprisingly useful iPad accessory; Makes it comfortable to use your iPad on your lap; holds the iPad securely in place; can be used with other tablets and with tablets in a variety of cases; has a pocket to store the iPad and accessories; comes with its own bag - Gear Diary
A very comfortable, not too thick, but nicely padded lap desk that appears to be fairly well constructed. I am using this with the new iPad Retina Display and the Kindle Fire Hd 7". The variety of viewing angles should accommodate most any requirement. It has a nice lip on the front to keep your device from slipping off the front. xxx

I love this iPad holder/desk!!! I read about so many others that had some kind of design flaw that made me hesitant to purchase one. The Prop 'n Go Slim is the best! No matter where I am sitting, I can get the right angle. I bought it to use on my lap while sitting or in bed, but I found It also works great on a table or countertop. The memory foam is so comfortable and it is much easier to use the iPad without having to hold it or balance it on my lap. I was concerned that the price was high and I would be disappointed. It is well made and worth the price. I use it every time I use my iPad. I highly recommend it!!!
Tyrus
I to the polka dot and loved it. Perfect for lap, table or bed. So many choices of angles and the pillow part is comfy. The iPad does not shift on it. Got hubby one immediately and he uses it all the time. Best workable portable stand I've found.
Yorkie Mama
Simple design and well made. Works perfectly and the slim profile makes it easy to take with me. Really has reduced my neck strain now that I can view my ipad at the proper angles.
Ronald A. Hutter
This product changes the way I do school! I am a college student and because the Prop 'n Go is so slim and lightweight I can easily put it in my backpack and take it to school with me, so convenient! Not only does it make typing and doing school work on my IPad much easier, it also props up textbooks. After all the homework, its the perfect tool to prop up my Netflix! The memory foam is so comfortable and the polka dots are so cute! Overall, this product is the best. If you have an IPad, Kindle or any other tablet, this is the product for you!
College Girl
My sister and i were ine of the first people to recieve this product and we love it! It it suprisingly lighweight and very versatile. It is nice that you can adjust the angle to fit your needs. The memory foam fabric keeps you cool after sitting. And the polka dots are a nice touch :)
Mary
I bought this book stand based on previous reviews and certainly didn't go wrong. It fills the bill by being useful in a chair, table, in bed or where ever. I've had several book stands that were a waste of time and money. This is an excellent product and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's not cheap and good thing because it's certainly worth it. It's a 5 star item.
Ronald Edward Ladue
I'm in love with the Prop 'n Go Slim. It makes using my iPad so comfortable in any position. I have a couple of other stands, but this is by far the best. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro straps so I could just carry the iPad and Prop 'n Go around all together. Nice price, too. I think you will be happy with this one.

I have the black Prop n' Go slim--I didn't realize it also comes in blue! It is incredibly useful. I haven't tried any other products such as this, but I can't imagine needing anything more than the P n' G Slim. It is a very well-made product and is perfect for my iPad. Because of sore joints, I can't hold up my iPad myself for very long, so having a lap stand is necessary for my comfort.

I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.

The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.
Jonathan
My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.

Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!
Yorkie Mama
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.
YaYa
For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!

I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.

As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.

I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!
Judy Pluenneke
A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!
Luther Eddleman
This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!
Terry L. Kelly
I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

I love this product. It leaves my hands-free while i use my iPad on my lap. I feel liberated.

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.
Wizee
My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.
Dapmfp
Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.

It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.

I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)

This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!

I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.

This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.

I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse

Nice folks - emailed me back in minutes when I had a couple of questions. I checked if having a cover on the device would interfere, and was told it was fine; in fact one of the videos shows the same cover I have on the ipad. - Bjeans

Prop 'n Go is an outstanding product -Chuck
With neck fusion surgeries that have left me with virtually no movement in the neck and extremely limited movement of both arms, I was losing the ability to use my small electronic equipment. I had not used my beloved Kindle in over a month. My home computer is fitted with a gas airlift, but similar devices are not made for smaller items. I decided to order this item to see if I could use the devices again. I expected that I would have to ask my husband to return it. It was a very happy surprise to see this product simply holds my Kindle and iPad while I read.
I am extremely grateful to the company for manufacturing it and to Amazon for carrying it. -Land of enchantment
Thank you, Prop 'n Go! -Shanna

WOW! This thing is amazing. -Clint
Prop 'n Go allows me to use my iPad hands-free, and it can be easily adjusted to the perfect viewing angle, which makes it great for watching videos wherever you wish. It's reasonably small but sturdy and appears to be well-built. I've only used it for about a week and haven't experienced any of the problems that some have reported with the grip strips (that hold the iPad in place) peeling off. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product, and expect to get a lot of use out of it. -Shawcago
I'm very happy with it. -Pamela
In the last day since I received this I have tried as many positions as i could think of with this stand ( iPad Kama Sutra ) short of the tub, I'll skip that one.
The results are in... This is the most useful iPad stand out there as far as I'm concerned.
In bed, slouched on the couch and on a desk... Perfect!
If you've been looking for an all purpose stand for you're iPad you can bet that this will work for whatever you have in mind. -Frank Stuart
I ordered this for my Mom for Christmas so thought I would test it out in my room while relaxing in bed. Kept testing it. Wrapped it for Christmas but not before getting on Amazon to order one for me. I like the adjustment feature.

Surprisingly useful iPad accessory; Makes it comfortable to use your iPad on your lap; holds the iPad securely in place; can be used with other tablets and with tablets in a variety of cases; has a pocket to store the iPad and accessories; comes with its own bag - Gear Diary
A very comfortable, not too thick, but nicely padded lap desk that appears to be fairly well constructed. I am using this with the new iPad Retina Display and the Kindle Fire Hd 7". The variety of viewing angles should accommodate most any requirement. It has a nice lip on the front to keep your device from slipping off the front. xxx

I love this iPad holder/desk!!! I read about so many others that had some kind of design flaw that made me hesitant to purchase one. The Prop 'n Go Slim is the best! No matter where I am sitting, I can get the right angle. I bought it to use on my lap while sitting or in bed, but I found It also works great on a table or countertop. The memory foam is so comfortable and it is much easier to use the iPad without having to hold it or balance it on my lap. I was concerned that the price was high and I would be disappointed. It is well made and worth the price. I use it every time I use my iPad. I highly recommend it!!!
Tyrus
I to the polka dot and loved it. Perfect for lap, table or bed. So many choices of angles and the pillow part is comfy. The iPad does not shift on it. Got hubby one immediately and he uses it all the time. Best workable portable stand I've found.
Yorkie Mama
Simple design and well made. Works perfectly and the slim profile makes it easy to take with me. Really has reduced my neck strain now that I can view my ipad at the proper angles.
Ronald A. Hutter
This product changes the way I do school! I am a college student and because the Prop 'n Go is so slim and lightweight I can easily put it in my backpack and take it to school with me, so convenient! Not only does it make typing and doing school work on my IPad much easier, it also props up textbooks. After all the homework, its the perfect tool to prop up my Netflix! The memory foam is so comfortable and the polka dots are so cute! Overall, this product is the best. If you have an IPad, Kindle or any other tablet, this is the product for you!
College Girl
My sister and i were ine of the first people to recieve this product and we love it! It it suprisingly lighweight and very versatile. It is nice that you can adjust the angle to fit your needs. The memory foam fabric keeps you cool after sitting. And the polka dots are a nice touch :)
Mary
I bought this book stand based on previous reviews and certainly didn't go wrong. It fills the bill by being useful in a chair, table, in bed or where ever. I've had several book stands that were a waste of time and money. This is an excellent product and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's not cheap and good thing because it's certainly worth it. It's a 5 star item.
Ronald Edward Ladue
I'm in love with the Prop 'n Go Slim. It makes using my iPad so comfortable in any position. I have a couple of other stands, but this is by far the best. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro straps so I could just carry the iPad and Prop 'n Go around all together. Nice price, too. I think you will be happy with this one.
Meisler
I have the black Prop n' Go slim--I didn't realize it also comes in blue! It is incredibly useful. I haven't tried any other products such as this, but I can't imagine needing anything more than the P n' G Slim. It is a very well-made product and is perfect for my iPad. Because of sore joints, I can't hold up my iPad myself for very long, so having a lap stand is necessary for my comfort.
MerriCarol
I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.
AngelAnn
The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.

My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.

Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!
Yorkie Mama
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.
YaYa
For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.
S. Booth
As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.

I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!

A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!

This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!

I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

I love this product. It leaves my hands-free while i use my iPad on my lap. I feel liberated.

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.
Wizee
My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.
Dapmfp
Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.

I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.

I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.

This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..

The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.

I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.

This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!

I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.

I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,

Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
I just ordered this for my kindle because my hands also get tired because I read for hours at a time. - CarolinaGirl
Nice folks - emailed me back in minutes when I had a couple of questions. I checked if having a cover on the device would interfere, and was told it was fine; in fact one of the videos shows the same cover I have on the ipad. - Bjeans

Prop 'n Go is an outstanding product -Chuck
With neck fusion surgeries that have left me with virtually no movement in the neck and extremely limited movement of both arms, I was losing the ability to use my small electronic equipment. I had not used my beloved Kindle in over a month. My home computer is fitted with a gas airlift, but similar devices are not made for smaller items. I decided to order this item to see if I could use the devices again. I expected that I would have to ask my husband to return it. It was a very happy surprise to see this product simply holds my Kindle and iPad while I read.
I am extremely grateful to the company for manufacturing it and to Amazon for carrying it. -Land of enchantment
Thank you, Prop 'n Go! -Shanna
Padded Spaces makes my favorite lap top desks! -Will

I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. -Juliew

...an adjustable stand that works on your lap as well as it does on a reclined belly. -Chistopher Breen at Macworld.com
WOW! This thing is amazing. -Clint
Prop 'n Go allows me to use my iPad hands-free, and it can be easily adjusted to the perfect viewing angle, which makes it great for watching videos wherever you wish. It's reasonably small but sturdy and appears to be well-built. I've only used it for about a week and haven't experienced any of the problems that some have reported with the grip strips (that hold the iPad in place) peeling off. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product, and expect to get a lot of use out of it. -Shawcago
I'm very happy with it. -Pamela
In the last day since I received this I have tried as many positions as i could think of with this stand ( iPad Kama Sutra ) short of the tub, I'll skip that one.
The results are in... This is the most useful iPad stand out there as far as I'm concerned.
In bed, slouched on the couch and on a desk... Perfect!
If you've been looking for an all purpose stand for you're iPad you can bet that this will work for whatever you have in mind. -Frank Stuart
I ordered this for my Mom for Christmas so thought I would test it out in my room while relaxing in bed. Kept testing it. Wrapped it for Christmas but not before getting on Amazon to order one for me. I like the adjustment feature.

Surprisingly useful iPad accessory; Makes it comfortable to use your iPad on your lap; holds the iPad securely in place; can be used with other tablets and with tablets in a variety of cases; has a pocket to store the iPad and accessories; comes with its own bag - Gear Diary
A very comfortable, not too thick, but nicely padded lap desk that appears to be fairly well constructed. I am using this with the new iPad Retina Display and the Kindle Fire Hd 7". The variety of viewing angles should accommodate most any requirement. It has a nice lip on the front to keep your device from slipping off the front. xxx

I love this iPad holder/desk!!! I read about so many others that had some kind of design flaw that made me hesitant to purchase one. The Prop 'n Go Slim is the best! No matter where I am sitting, I can get the right angle. I bought it to use on my lap while sitting or in bed, but I found It also works great on a table or countertop. The memory foam is so comfortable and it is much easier to use the iPad without having to hold it or balance it on my lap. I was concerned that the price was high and I would be disappointed. It is well made and worth the price. I use it every time I use my iPad. I highly recommend it!!!
Tyrus
I to the polka dot and loved it. Perfect for lap, table or bed. So many choices of angles and the pillow part is comfy. The iPad does not shift on it. Got hubby one immediately and he uses it all the time. Best workable portable stand I've found.
Yorkie Mama
Simple design and well made. Works perfectly and the slim profile makes it easy to take with me. Really has reduced my neck strain now that I can view my ipad at the proper angles.
Ronald A. Hutter
This product changes the way I do school! I am a college student and because the Prop 'n Go is so slim and lightweight I can easily put it in my backpack and take it to school with me, so convenient! Not only does it make typing and doing school work on my IPad much easier, it also props up textbooks. After all the homework, its the perfect tool to prop up my Netflix! The memory foam is so comfortable and the polka dots are so cute! Overall, this product is the best. If you have an IPad, Kindle or any other tablet, this is the product for you!
College Girl
My sister and i were ine of the first people to recieve this product and we love it! It it suprisingly lighweight and very versatile. It is nice that you can adjust the angle to fit your needs. The memory foam fabric keeps you cool after sitting. And the polka dots are a nice touch :)
Mary
I bought this book stand based on previous reviews and certainly didn't go wrong. It fills the bill by being useful in a chair, table, in bed or where ever. I've had several book stands that were a waste of time and money. This is an excellent product and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's not cheap and good thing because it's certainly worth it. It's a 5 star item.
Ronald Edward Ladue
I'm in love with the Prop 'n Go Slim. It makes using my iPad so comfortable in any position. I have a couple of other stands, but this is by far the best. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro straps so I could just carry the iPad and Prop 'n Go around all together. Nice price, too. I think you will be happy with this one.
Meisler
I have the black Prop n' Go slim--I didn't realize it also comes in blue! It is incredibly useful. I haven't tried any other products such as this, but I can't imagine needing anything more than the P n' G Slim. It is a very well-made product and is perfect for my iPad. Because of sore joints, I can't hold up my iPad myself for very long, so having a lap stand is necessary for my comfort.
MerriCarol
I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.
AngelAnn
The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.

My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.

Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!

I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.

For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.
S. Booth
As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.

I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!
Judy Pluenneke
A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!

This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!
Terry L. Kelly
I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll! Joan O'Brien
The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.

My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.

I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy

Prop 'n Go is an outstanding product -Chuck
With neck fusion surgeries that have left me with virtually no movement in the neck and extremely limited movement of both arms, I was losing the ability to use my small electronic equipment. I had not used my beloved Kindle in over a month. My home computer is fitted with a gas airlift, but similar devices are not made for smaller items. I decided to order this item to see if I could use the devices again. I expected that I would have to ask my husband to return it. It was a very happy surprise to see this product simply holds my Kindle and iPad while I read.
I am extremely grateful to the company for manufacturing it and to Amazon for carrying it. -Land of enchantment
Thank you, Prop 'n Go! -Shanna
Padded Spaces makes my favorite lap top desks! -Will

WOW! This thing is amazing. -Clint
Prop 'n Go allows me to use my iPad hands-free, and it can be easily adjusted to the perfect viewing angle, which makes it great for watching videos wherever you wish. It's reasonably small but sturdy and appears to be well-built. I've only used it for about a week and haven't experienced any of the problems that some have reported with the grip strips (that hold the iPad in place) peeling off. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product, and expect to get a lot of use out of it. -Shawcago
I'm very happy with it. -Pamela
In the last day since I received this I have tried as many positions as i could think of with this stand ( iPad Kama Sutra ) short of the tub, I'll skip that one.
The results are in... This is the most useful iPad stand out there as far as I'm concerned.
In bed, slouched on the couch and on a desk... Perfect!
If you've been looking for an all purpose stand for you're iPad you can bet that this will work for whatever you have in mind. -Frank Stuart
I ordered this for my Mom for Christmas so thought I would test it out in my room while relaxing in bed. Kept testing it. Wrapped it for Christmas but not before getting on Amazon to order one for me. I like the adjustment feature.

Surprisingly useful iPad accessory; Makes it comfortable to use your iPad on your lap; holds the iPad securely in place; can be used with other tablets and with tablets in a variety of cases; has a pocket to store the iPad and accessories; comes with its own bag - Gear Diary
A very comfortable, not too thick, but nicely padded lap desk that appears to be fairly well constructed. I am using this with the new iPad Retina Display and the Kindle Fire Hd 7". The variety of viewing angles should accommodate most any requirement. It has a nice lip on the front to keep your device from slipping off the front. xxx

I love this iPad holder/desk!!! I read about so many others that had some kind of design flaw that made me hesitant to purchase one. The Prop 'n Go Slim is the best! No matter where I am sitting, I can get the right angle. I bought it to use on my lap while sitting or in bed, but I found It also works great on a table or countertop. The memory foam is so comfortable and it is much easier to use the iPad without having to hold it or balance it on my lap. I was concerned that the price was high and I would be disappointed. It is well made and worth the price. I use it every time I use my iPad. I highly recommend it!!!
Tyrus
I to the polka dot and loved it. Perfect for lap, table or bed. So many choices of angles and the pillow part is comfy. The iPad does not shift on it. Got hubby one immediately and he uses it all the time. Best workable portable stand I've found.
Yorkie Mama
Simple design and well made. Works perfectly and the slim profile makes it easy to take with me. Really has reduced my neck strain now that I can view my ipad at the proper angles.
Ronald A. Hutter
This product changes the way I do school! I am a college student and because the Prop 'n Go is so slim and lightweight I can easily put it in my backpack and take it to school with me, so convenient! Not only does it make typing and doing school work on my IPad much easier, it also props up textbooks. After all the homework, its the perfect tool to prop up my Netflix! The memory foam is so comfortable and the polka dots are so cute! Overall, this product is the best. If you have an IPad, Kindle or any other tablet, this is the product for you!
College Girl
My sister and i were ine of the first people to recieve this product and we love it! It it suprisingly lighweight and very versatile. It is nice that you can adjust the angle to fit your needs. The memory foam fabric keeps you cool after sitting. And the polka dots are a nice touch :)
Mary
I bought this book stand based on previous reviews and certainly didn't go wrong. It fills the bill by being useful in a chair, table, in bed or where ever. I've had several book stands that were a waste of time and money. This is an excellent product and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's not cheap and good thing because it's certainly worth it. It's a 5 star item.
Ronald Edward Ladue
I'm in love with the Prop 'n Go Slim. It makes using my iPad so comfortable in any position. I have a couple of other stands, but this is by far the best. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro straps so I could just carry the iPad and Prop 'n Go around all together. Nice price, too. I think you will be happy with this one.
Meisler
I have the black Prop n' Go slim--I didn't realize it also comes in blue! It is incredibly useful. I haven't tried any other products such as this, but I can't imagine needing anything more than the P n' G Slim. It is a very well-made product and is perfect for my iPad. Because of sore joints, I can't hold up my iPad myself for very long, so having a lap stand is necessary for my comfort.
MerriCarol
I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.
AngelAnn
The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.

Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!

I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.

For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.
S. Booth
As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.

I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!
Judy Pluenneke
A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!

This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!
Terry L. Kelly
I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.

My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!

I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.

The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.

The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.

The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!

The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.

Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.
Tip Stott
I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.
Vol-au-vent
Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
With neck fusion surgeries that have left me with virtually no movement in the neck and extremely limited movement of both arms, I was losing the ability to use my small electronic equipment. I had not used my beloved Kindle in over a month. My home computer is fitted with a gas airlift, but similar devices are not made for smaller items. I decided to order this item to see if I could use the devices again. I expected that I would have to ask my husband to return it. It was a very happy surprise to see this product simply holds my Kindle and iPad while I read.
I am extremely grateful to the company for manufacturing it and to Amazon for carrying it. -Land of enchantment
Thank you, Prop 'n Go! -Shanna

Prop 'n Go allows me to use my iPad hands-free, and it can be easily adjusted to the perfect viewing angle, which makes it great for watching videos wherever you wish. It's reasonably small but sturdy and appears to be well-built. I've only used it for about a week and haven't experienced any of the problems that some have reported with the grip strips (that hold the iPad in place) peeling off. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product, and expect to get a lot of use out of it. -Shawcago
I'm very happy with it. -Pamela
In the last day since I received this I have tried as many positions as i could think of with this stand ( iPad Kama Sutra ) short of the tub, I'll skip that one.
The results are in... This is the most useful iPad stand out there as far as I'm concerned.
In bed, slouched on the couch and on a desk... Perfect!
If you've been looking for an all purpose stand for you're iPad you can bet that this will work for whatever you have in mind. -Frank Stuart
I ordered this for my Mom for Christmas so thought I would test it out in my room while relaxing in bed. Kept testing it. Wrapped it for Christmas but not before getting on Amazon to order one for me. I like the adjustment feature.

Surprisingly useful iPad accessory; Makes it comfortable to use your iPad on your lap; holds the iPad securely in place; can be used with other tablets and with tablets in a variety of cases; has a pocket to store the iPad and accessories; comes with its own bag - Gear Diary
A very comfortable, not too thick, but nicely padded lap desk that appears to be fairly well constructed. I am using this with the new iPad Retina Display and the Kindle Fire Hd 7". The variety of viewing angles should accommodate most any requirement. It has a nice lip on the front to keep your device from slipping off the front. xxx

I love this iPad holder/desk!!! I read about so many others that had some kind of design flaw that made me hesitant to purchase one. The Prop 'n Go Slim is the best! No matter where I am sitting, I can get the right angle. I bought it to use on my lap while sitting or in bed, but I found It also works great on a table or countertop. The memory foam is so comfortable and it is much easier to use the iPad without having to hold it or balance it on my lap. I was concerned that the price was high and I would be disappointed. It is well made and worth the price. I use it every time I use my iPad. I highly recommend it!!!

I to the polka dot and loved it. Perfect for lap, table or bed. So many choices of angles and the pillow part is comfy. The iPad does not shift on it. Got hubby one immediately and he uses it all the time. Best workable portable stand I've found.
Yorkie Mama
Simple design and well made. Works perfectly and the slim profile makes it easy to take with me. Really has reduced my neck strain now that I can view my ipad at the proper angles.

This product changes the way I do school! I am a college student and because the Prop 'n Go is so slim and lightweight I can easily put it in my backpack and take it to school with me, so convenient! Not only does it make typing and doing school work on my IPad much easier, it also props up textbooks. After all the homework, its the perfect tool to prop up my Netflix! The memory foam is so comfortable and the polka dots are so cute! Overall, this product is the best. If you have an IPad, Kindle or any other tablet, this is the product for you!
College Girl
My sister and i were ine of the first people to recieve this product and we love it! It it suprisingly lighweight and very versatile. It is nice that you can adjust the angle to fit your needs. The memory foam fabric keeps you cool after sitting. And the polka dots are a nice touch :)

I bought this book stand based on previous reviews and certainly didn't go wrong. It fills the bill by being useful in a chair, table, in bed or where ever. I've had several book stands that were a waste of time and money. This is an excellent product and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's not cheap and good thing because it's certainly worth it. It's a 5 star item.
Ronald Edward Ladue
I'm in love with the Prop 'n Go Slim. It makes using my iPad so comfortable in any position. I have a couple of other stands, but this is by far the best. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro straps so I could just carry the iPad and Prop 'n Go around all together. Nice price, too. I think you will be happy with this one.
Meisler
I have the black Prop n' Go slim--I didn't realize it also comes in blue! It is incredibly useful. I haven't tried any other products such as this, but I can't imagine needing anything more than the P n' G Slim. It is a very well-made product and is perfect for my iPad. Because of sore joints, I can't hold up my iPad myself for very long, so having a lap stand is necessary for my comfort.
MerriCarol
I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.
AngelAnn
The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.
Jonathan
My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.
RB601
Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!
Yorkie Mama
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.
YaYa
For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.

As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.

I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!
Judy Pluenneke
A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!
Luther Eddleman
This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!

I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

I love this product. It leaves my hands-free while i use my iPad on my lap. I feel liberated.

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.
Wizee
My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.

I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!

Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.

Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.

This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.

I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.

It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)

This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!

I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.
Tip Stott
I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.
Vol-au-vent
Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse

...an adjustable stand that works on your lap as well as it does on a reclined belly. -Chistopher Breen at Macworld.com
WOW! This thing is amazing. -Clint
Prop 'n Go allows me to use my iPad hands-free, and it can be easily adjusted to the perfect viewing angle, which makes it great for watching videos wherever you wish. It's reasonably small but sturdy and appears to be well-built. I've only used it for about a week and haven't experienced any of the problems that some have reported with the grip strips (that hold the iPad in place) peeling off. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product, and expect to get a lot of use out of it. -Shawcago
I'm very happy with it. -Pamela
In the last day since I received this I have tried as many positions as i could think of with this stand ( iPad Kama Sutra ) short of the tub, I'll skip that one.
The results are in... This is the most useful iPad stand out there as far as I'm concerned.
In bed, slouched on the couch and on a desk... Perfect!
If you've been looking for an all purpose stand for you're iPad you can bet that this will work for whatever you have in mind. -Frank Stuart
I ordered this for my Mom for Christmas so thought I would test it out in my room while relaxing in bed. Kept testing it. Wrapped it for Christmas but not before getting on Amazon to order one for me. I like the adjustment feature.

Surprisingly useful iPad accessory; Makes it comfortable to use your iPad on your lap; holds the iPad securely in place; can be used with other tablets and with tablets in a variety of cases; has a pocket to store the iPad and accessories; comes with its own bag - Gear Diary
A very comfortable, not too thick, but nicely padded lap desk that appears to be fairly well constructed. I am using this with the new iPad Retina Display and the Kindle Fire Hd 7". The variety of viewing angles should accommodate most any requirement. It has a nice lip on the front to keep your device from slipping off the front. xxx

I love this iPad holder/desk!!! I read about so many others that had some kind of design flaw that made me hesitant to purchase one. The Prop 'n Go Slim is the best! No matter where I am sitting, I can get the right angle. I bought it to use on my lap while sitting or in bed, but I found It also works great on a table or countertop. The memory foam is so comfortable and it is much easier to use the iPad without having to hold it or balance it on my lap. I was concerned that the price was high and I would be disappointed. It is well made and worth the price. I use it every time I use my iPad. I highly recommend it!!!
Tyrus
I to the polka dot and loved it. Perfect for lap, table or bed. So many choices of angles and the pillow part is comfy. The iPad does not shift on it. Got hubby one immediately and he uses it all the time. Best workable portable stand I've found.
Yorkie Mama
Simple design and well made. Works perfectly and the slim profile makes it easy to take with me. Really has reduced my neck strain now that I can view my ipad at the proper angles.
Ronald A. Hutter
This product changes the way I do school! I am a college student and because the Prop 'n Go is so slim and lightweight I can easily put it in my backpack and take it to school with me, so convenient! Not only does it make typing and doing school work on my IPad much easier, it also props up textbooks. After all the homework, its the perfect tool to prop up my Netflix! The memory foam is so comfortable and the polka dots are so cute! Overall, this product is the best. If you have an IPad, Kindle or any other tablet, this is the product for you!
College Girl
My sister and i were ine of the first people to recieve this product and we love it! It it suprisingly lighweight and very versatile. It is nice that you can adjust the angle to fit your needs. The memory foam fabric keeps you cool after sitting. And the polka dots are a nice touch :)
Mary
I bought this book stand based on previous reviews and certainly didn't go wrong. It fills the bill by being useful in a chair, table, in bed or where ever. I've had several book stands that were a waste of time and money. This is an excellent product and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's not cheap and good thing because it's certainly worth it. It's a 5 star item.
Ronald Edward Ladue
I'm in love with the Prop 'n Go Slim. It makes using my iPad so comfortable in any position. I have a couple of other stands, but this is by far the best. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro straps so I could just carry the iPad and Prop 'n Go around all together. Nice price, too. I think you will be happy with this one.
Meisler
I have the black Prop n' Go slim--I didn't realize it also comes in blue! It is incredibly useful. I haven't tried any other products such as this, but I can't imagine needing anything more than the P n' G Slim. It is a very well-made product and is perfect for my iPad. Because of sore joints, I can't hold up my iPad myself for very long, so having a lap stand is necessary for my comfort.
MerriCarol
I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.
AngelAnn
The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.

My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.

Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!
Yorkie Mama
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.
YaYa
For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.
S. Booth
As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.

I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!
Judy Pluenneke
A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!
Luther Eddleman
This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!

I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

I love this product. It leaves my hands-free while i use my iPad on my lap. I feel liberated.

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.
Wizee
My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.
Dapmfp
Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.

Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone

I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.

I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..

The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.

I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
Of all the things I tried, this was the nicest iPad stand for around the house... -Mel Martin
"I like to read the newspaper and Facebook before going to bed and this is the most comfortable way to do it." -Howell
"I like it and use it a lot. It is not heavy at all." -B. Cole
This puts the iPad in a comfortable position for viewing content in portrait or landscape mode. -Tad
What I first thought was just another lap desk, turned out to be the perfect solution for my iPad. -Oche
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!! -ghuges
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. -Juliew
...if anyone is looking for a lap stand to use with an IPad they really should have a look at the prop'n'go on @PaddedSpaces website. -F1Cartoonz
It's very versatile and I now consider this a must accessory for the iPad to improve usability. -MadDog
...an adjustable stand that works on your lap as well as it does on a reclined belly. -Chistopher Breen at Macworld.com
WOW! This thing is amazing. -Clint
Prop 'n Go allows me to use my iPad hands-free, and it can be easily adjusted to the perfect viewing angle, which makes it great for watching videos wherever you wish. It's reasonably small but sturdy and appears to be well-built. I've only used it for about a week and haven't experienced any of the problems that some have reported with the grip strips (that hold the iPad in place) peeling off. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product, and expect to get a lot of use out of it. -Shawcago
I'm very happy with it. -Pamela
In the last day since I received this I have tried as many positions as i could think of with this stand ( iPad Kama Sutra ) short of the tub, I'll skip that one.
The results are in... This is the most useful iPad stand out there as far as I'm concerned.
In bed, slouched on the couch and on a desk... Perfect!
If you've been looking for an all purpose stand for you're iPad you can bet that this will work for whatever you have in mind. -Frank Stuart
I ordered this for my Mom for Christmas so thought I would test it out in my room while relaxing in bed. Kept testing it. Wrapped it for Christmas but not before getting on Amazon to order one for me. I like the adjustment feature.
-Prairiewoman "Oglala Lakota"
Surprisingly useful iPad accessory; Makes it comfortable to use your iPad on your lap; holds the iPad securely in place; can be used with other tablets and with tablets in a variety of cases; has a pocket to store the iPad and accessories; comes with its own bag - Gear Diary
A very comfortable, not too thick, but nicely padded lap desk that appears to be fairly well constructed. I am using this with the new iPad Retina Display and the Kindle Fire Hd 7". The variety of viewing angles should accommodate most any requirement. It has a nice lip on the front to keep your device from slipping off the front. xxx

I love this iPad holder/desk!!! I read about so many others that had some kind of design flaw that made me hesitant to purchase one. The Prop 'n Go Slim is the best! No matter where I am sitting, I can get the right angle. I bought it to use on my lap while sitting or in bed, but I found It also works great on a table or countertop. The memory foam is so comfortable and it is much easier to use the iPad without having to hold it or balance it on my lap. I was concerned that the price was high and I would be disappointed. It is well made and worth the price. I use it every time I use my iPad. I highly recommend it!!!
Tyrus
I to the polka dot and loved it. Perfect for lap, table or bed. So many choices of angles and the pillow part is comfy. The iPad does not shift on it. Got hubby one immediately and he uses it all the time. Best workable portable stand I've found.
Yorkie Mama
Simple design and well made. Works perfectly and the slim profile makes it easy to take with me. Really has reduced my neck strain now that I can view my ipad at the proper angles.
Ronald A. Hutter
This product changes the way I do school! I am a college student and because the Prop 'n Go is so slim and lightweight I can easily put it in my backpack and take it to school with me, so convenient! Not only does it make typing and doing school work on my IPad much easier, it also props up textbooks. After all the homework, its the perfect tool to prop up my Netflix! The memory foam is so comfortable and the polka dots are so cute! Overall, this product is the best. If you have an IPad, Kindle or any other tablet, this is the product for you!
College Girl
My sister and i were ine of the first people to recieve this product and we love it! It it suprisingly lighweight and very versatile. It is nice that you can adjust the angle to fit your needs. The memory foam fabric keeps you cool after sitting. And the polka dots are a nice touch :)
Mary
I bought this book stand based on previous reviews and certainly didn't go wrong. It fills the bill by being useful in a chair, table, in bed or where ever. I've had several book stands that were a waste of time and money. This is an excellent product and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's not cheap and good thing because it's certainly worth it. It's a 5 star item.
Ronald Edward Ladue
I'm in love with the Prop 'n Go Slim. It makes using my iPad so comfortable in any position. I have a couple of other stands, but this is by far the best. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro straps so I could just carry the iPad and Prop 'n Go around all together. Nice price, too. I think you will be happy with this one.
Meisler
I have the black Prop n' Go slim--I didn't realize it also comes in blue! It is incredibly useful. I haven't tried any other products such as this, but I can't imagine needing anything more than the P n' G Slim. It is a very well-made product and is perfect for my iPad. Because of sore joints, I can't hold up my iPad myself for very long, so having a lap stand is necessary for my comfort.
MerriCarol
I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.
AngelAnn
The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.
Jonathan
My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.
RB601
Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!
Yorkie Mama
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.
YaYa
For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.
S. Booth
As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.
Tammie T. Mconnell
I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!
Judy Pluenneke
A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!
Luther Eddleman
This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!
Terry L. Kelly
I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

I love this product. It leaves my hands-free while i use my iPad on my lap. I feel liberated.

I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.

My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.

I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)

I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
"I like it and use it a lot. It is not heavy at all." -B. Cole
This puts the iPad in a comfortable position for viewing content in portrait or landscape mode. -Tad
What I first thought was just another lap desk, turned out to be the perfect solution for my iPad. -Oche
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!! -ghuges
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. -Juliew
...if anyone is looking for a lap stand to use with an IPad they really should have a look at the prop'n'go on @PaddedSpaces website. -F1Cartoonz
It's very versatile and I now consider this a must accessory for the iPad to improve usability. -MadDog
...an adjustable stand that works on your lap as well as it does on a reclined belly. -Chistopher Breen at Macworld.com
WOW! This thing is amazing. -Clint
Prop 'n Go allows me to use my iPad hands-free, and it can be easily adjusted to the perfect viewing angle, which makes it great for watching videos wherever you wish. It's reasonably small but sturdy and appears to be well-built. I've only used it for about a week and haven't experienced any of the problems that some have reported with the grip strips (that hold the iPad in place) peeling off. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product, and expect to get a lot of use out of it. -Shawcago
I'm very happy with it. -Pamela
In the last day since I received this I have tried as many positions as i could think of with this stand ( iPad Kama Sutra ) short of the tub, I'll skip that one.
The results are in... This is the most useful iPad stand out there as far as I'm concerned.
In bed, slouched on the couch and on a desk... Perfect!
If you've been looking for an all purpose stand for you're iPad you can bet that this will work for whatever you have in mind. -Frank Stuart
I ordered this for my Mom for Christmas so thought I would test it out in my room while relaxing in bed. Kept testing it. Wrapped it for Christmas but not before getting on Amazon to order one for me. I like the adjustment feature.

Surprisingly useful iPad accessory; Makes it comfortable to use your iPad on your lap; holds the iPad securely in place; can be used with other tablets and with tablets in a variety of cases; has a pocket to store the iPad and accessories; comes with its own bag - Gear Diary
A very comfortable, not too thick, but nicely padded lap desk that appears to be fairly well constructed. I am using this with the new iPad Retina Display and the Kindle Fire Hd 7". The variety of viewing angles should accommodate most any requirement. It has a nice lip on the front to keep your device from slipping off the front. xxx

I love this iPad holder/desk!!! I read about so many others that had some kind of design flaw that made me hesitant to purchase one. The Prop 'n Go Slim is the best! No matter where I am sitting, I can get the right angle. I bought it to use on my lap while sitting or in bed, but I found It also works great on a table or countertop. The memory foam is so comfortable and it is much easier to use the iPad without having to hold it or balance it on my lap. I was concerned that the price was high and I would be disappointed. It is well made and worth the price. I use it every time I use my iPad. I highly recommend it!!!
Tyrus
I to the polka dot and loved it. Perfect for lap, table or bed. So many choices of angles and the pillow part is comfy. The iPad does not shift on it. Got hubby one immediately and he uses it all the time. Best workable portable stand I've found.
Yorkie Mama
Simple design and well made. Works perfectly and the slim profile makes it easy to take with me. Really has reduced my neck strain now that I can view my ipad at the proper angles.
Ronald A. Hutter
This product changes the way I do school! I am a college student and because the Prop 'n Go is so slim and lightweight I can easily put it in my backpack and take it to school with me, so convenient! Not only does it make typing and doing school work on my IPad much easier, it also props up textbooks. After all the homework, its the perfect tool to prop up my Netflix! The memory foam is so comfortable and the polka dots are so cute! Overall, this product is the best. If you have an IPad, Kindle or any other tablet, this is the product for you!
College Girl
My sister and i were ine of the first people to recieve this product and we love it! It it suprisingly lighweight and very versatile. It is nice that you can adjust the angle to fit your needs. The memory foam fabric keeps you cool after sitting. And the polka dots are a nice touch :)
Mary
I bought this book stand based on previous reviews and certainly didn't go wrong. It fills the bill by being useful in a chair, table, in bed or where ever. I've had several book stands that were a waste of time and money. This is an excellent product and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's not cheap and good thing because it's certainly worth it. It's a 5 star item.
Ronald Edward Ladue
I'm in love with the Prop 'n Go Slim. It makes using my iPad so comfortable in any position. I have a couple of other stands, but this is by far the best. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro straps so I could just carry the iPad and Prop 'n Go around all together. Nice price, too. I think you will be happy with this one.
Meisler
I have the black Prop n' Go slim--I didn't realize it also comes in blue! It is incredibly useful. I haven't tried any other products such as this, but I can't imagine needing anything more than the P n' G Slim. It is a very well-made product and is perfect for my iPad. Because of sore joints, I can't hold up my iPad myself for very long, so having a lap stand is necessary for my comfort.
MerriCarol
I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.
AngelAnn
The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.
Jonathan
My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.
RB601
Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!
Yorkie Mama
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.
YaYa
For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.
S. Booth
As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.

I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!
Judy Pluenneke
A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!
Luther Eddleman
This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!
Terry L. Kelly
I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.

My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.

The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!

I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.

The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.

I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!

The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.

Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.

""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"

This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.
Tip Stott
I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.
Vol-au-vent
Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...
GSARider "Riding the world"
this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
What I first thought was just another lap desk, turned out to be the perfect solution for my iPad. -Oche
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!! -ghuges
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. -Juliew
...if anyone is looking for a lap stand to use with an IPad they really should have a look at the prop'n'go on @PaddedSpaces website. -F1Cartoonz
It's very versatile and I now consider this a must accessory for the iPad to improve usability. -MadDog
...an adjustable stand that works on your lap as well as it does on a reclined belly. -Chistopher Breen at Macworld.com
WOW! This thing is amazing. -Clint
Prop 'n Go allows me to use my iPad hands-free, and it can be easily adjusted to the perfect viewing angle, which makes it great for watching videos wherever you wish. It's reasonably small but sturdy and appears to be well-built. I've only used it for about a week and haven't experienced any of the problems that some have reported with the grip strips (that hold the iPad in place) peeling off. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product, and expect to get a lot of use out of it. -Shawcago
I'm very happy with it. -Pamela
In the last day since I received this I have tried as many positions as i could think of with this stand ( iPad Kama Sutra ) short of the tub, I'll skip that one.
The results are in... This is the most useful iPad stand out there as far as I'm concerned.
In bed, slouched on the couch and on a desk... Perfect!
If you've been looking for an all purpose stand for you're iPad you can bet that this will work for whatever you have in mind. -Frank Stuart
I ordered this for my Mom for Christmas so thought I would test it out in my room while relaxing in bed. Kept testing it. Wrapped it for Christmas but not before getting on Amazon to order one for me. I like the adjustment feature.
-Prairiewoman "Oglala Lakota"
Surprisingly useful iPad accessory; Makes it comfortable to use your iPad on your lap; holds the iPad securely in place; can be used with other tablets and with tablets in a variety of cases; has a pocket to store the iPad and accessories; comes with its own bag - Gear Diary
A very comfortable, not too thick, but nicely padded lap desk that appears to be fairly well constructed. I am using this with the new iPad Retina Display and the Kindle Fire Hd 7". The variety of viewing angles should accommodate most any requirement. It has a nice lip on the front to keep your device from slipping off the front. xxx
xxx Laura C
I love this iPad holder/desk!!! I read about so many others that had some kind of design flaw that made me hesitant to purchase one. The Prop 'n Go Slim is the best! No matter where I am sitting, I can get the right angle. I bought it to use on my lap while sitting or in bed, but I found It also works great on a table or countertop. The memory foam is so comfortable and it is much easier to use the iPad without having to hold it or balance it on my lap. I was concerned that the price was high and I would be disappointed. It is well made and worth the price. I use it every time I use my iPad. I highly recommend it!!!

I to the polka dot and loved it. Perfect for lap, table or bed. So many choices of angles and the pillow part is comfy. The iPad does not shift on it. Got hubby one immediately and he uses it all the time. Best workable portable stand I've found.
Yorkie Mama
Simple design and well made. Works perfectly and the slim profile makes it easy to take with me. Really has reduced my neck strain now that I can view my ipad at the proper angles.

This product changes the way I do school! I am a college student and because the Prop 'n Go is so slim and lightweight I can easily put it in my backpack and take it to school with me, so convenient! Not only does it make typing and doing school work on my IPad much easier, it also props up textbooks. After all the homework, its the perfect tool to prop up my Netflix! The memory foam is so comfortable and the polka dots are so cute! Overall, this product is the best. If you have an IPad, Kindle or any other tablet, this is the product for you!
College Girl
My sister and i were ine of the first people to recieve this product and we love it! It it suprisingly lighweight and very versatile. It is nice that you can adjust the angle to fit your needs. The memory foam fabric keeps you cool after sitting. And the polka dots are a nice touch :)

I bought this book stand based on previous reviews and certainly didn't go wrong. It fills the bill by being useful in a chair, table, in bed or where ever. I've had several book stands that were a waste of time and money. This is an excellent product and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's not cheap and good thing because it's certainly worth it. It's a 5 star item.
Ronald Edward Ladue
I'm in love with the Prop 'n Go Slim. It makes using my iPad so comfortable in any position. I have a couple of other stands, but this is by far the best. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro straps so I could just carry the iPad and Prop 'n Go around all together. Nice price, too. I think you will be happy with this one.
Meisler
I have the black Prop n' Go slim--I didn't realize it also comes in blue! It is incredibly useful. I haven't tried any other products such as this, but I can't imagine needing anything more than the P n' G Slim. It is a very well-made product and is perfect for my iPad. Because of sore joints, I can't hold up my iPad myself for very long, so having a lap stand is necessary for my comfort.
MerriCarol
I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.
AngelAnn
The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.
Jonathan
My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.
RB601
Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!
Yorkie Mama
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.
YaYa
For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.

As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.

I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!
Judy Pluenneke
A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!
Luther Eddleman
This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!
Terry L. Kelly
I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

I love this product. It leaves my hands-free while i use my iPad on my lap. I feel liberated.

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.
Wizee
My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.

Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.

I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.

This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.

It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.

I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)

This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!

I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.

This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.
Tip Stott
I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.
Vol-au-vent
Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...
GSARider "Riding the world"
this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. -Juliew
...if anyone is looking for a lap stand to use with an IPad they really should have a look at the prop'n'go on @PaddedSpaces website. -F1Cartoonz
It's very versatile and I now consider this a must accessory for the iPad to improve usability. -MadDog
...an adjustable stand that works on your lap as well as it does on a reclined belly. -Chistopher Breen at Macworld.com
WOW! This thing is amazing. -Clint
Prop 'n Go allows me to use my iPad hands-free, and it can be easily adjusted to the perfect viewing angle, which makes it great for watching videos wherever you wish. It's reasonably small but sturdy and appears to be well-built. I've only used it for about a week and haven't experienced any of the problems that some have reported with the grip strips (that hold the iPad in place) peeling off. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product, and expect to get a lot of use out of it. -Shawcago
I'm very happy with it. -Pamela
In the last day since I received this I have tried as many positions as i could think of with this stand ( iPad Kama Sutra ) short of the tub, I'll skip that one.
The results are in... This is the most useful iPad stand out there as far as I'm concerned.
In bed, slouched on the couch and on a desk... Perfect!
If you've been looking for an all purpose stand for you're iPad you can bet that this will work for whatever you have in mind. -Frank Stuart
I ordered this for my Mom for Christmas so thought I would test it out in my room while relaxing in bed. Kept testing it. Wrapped it for Christmas but not before getting on Amazon to order one for me. I like the adjustment feature.
-Prairiewoman "Oglala Lakota"
Surprisingly useful iPad accessory; Makes it comfortable to use your iPad on your lap; holds the iPad securely in place; can be used with other tablets and with tablets in a variety of cases; has a pocket to store the iPad and accessories; comes with its own bag - Gear Diary
A very comfortable, not too thick, but nicely padded lap desk that appears to be fairly well constructed. I am using this with the new iPad Retina Display and the Kindle Fire Hd 7". The variety of viewing angles should accommodate most any requirement. It has a nice lip on the front to keep your device from slipping off the front. xxx

I love this iPad holder/desk!!! I read about so many others that had some kind of design flaw that made me hesitant to purchase one. The Prop 'n Go Slim is the best! No matter where I am sitting, I can get the right angle. I bought it to use on my lap while sitting or in bed, but I found It also works great on a table or countertop. The memory foam is so comfortable and it is much easier to use the iPad without having to hold it or balance it on my lap. I was concerned that the price was high and I would be disappointed. It is well made and worth the price. I use it every time I use my iPad. I highly recommend it!!!
Tyrus
I to the polka dot and loved it. Perfect for lap, table or bed. So many choices of angles and the pillow part is comfy. The iPad does not shift on it. Got hubby one immediately and he uses it all the time. Best workable portable stand I've found.
Yorkie Mama
Simple design and well made. Works perfectly and the slim profile makes it easy to take with me. Really has reduced my neck strain now that I can view my ipad at the proper angles.
Ronald A. Hutter
This product changes the way I do school! I am a college student and because the Prop 'n Go is so slim and lightweight I can easily put it in my backpack and take it to school with me, so convenient! Not only does it make typing and doing school work on my IPad much easier, it also props up textbooks. After all the homework, its the perfect tool to prop up my Netflix! The memory foam is so comfortable and the polka dots are so cute! Overall, this product is the best. If you have an IPad, Kindle or any other tablet, this is the product for you!
College Girl
My sister and i were ine of the first people to recieve this product and we love it! It it suprisingly lighweight and very versatile. It is nice that you can adjust the angle to fit your needs. The memory foam fabric keeps you cool after sitting. And the polka dots are a nice touch :)
Mary
I bought this book stand based on previous reviews and certainly didn't go wrong. It fills the bill by being useful in a chair, table, in bed or where ever. I've had several book stands that were a waste of time and money. This is an excellent product and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's not cheap and good thing because it's certainly worth it. It's a 5 star item.
Ronald Edward Ladue
I'm in love with the Prop 'n Go Slim. It makes using my iPad so comfortable in any position. I have a couple of other stands, but this is by far the best. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro straps so I could just carry the iPad and Prop 'n Go around all together. Nice price, too. I think you will be happy with this one.
Meisler
I have the black Prop n' Go slim--I didn't realize it also comes in blue! It is incredibly useful. I haven't tried any other products such as this, but I can't imagine needing anything more than the P n' G Slim. It is a very well-made product and is perfect for my iPad. Because of sore joints, I can't hold up my iPad myself for very long, so having a lap stand is necessary for my comfort.
MerriCarol
I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.
AngelAnn
The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.
Jonathan
My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.
RB601
Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!
Yorkie Mama
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.
YaYa
For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.
S. Booth
As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.

I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!

A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!

Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!

This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!

I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

I love this product. It leaves my hands-free while i use my iPad on my lap. I feel liberated.

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.

My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!

Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..

The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.

I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.

This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!

I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.

I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.

I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...
GSARider "Riding the world"
this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
It's very versatile and I now consider this a must accessory for the iPad to improve usability. -MadDog
...an adjustable stand that works on your lap as well as it does on a reclined belly. -Chistopher Breen at Macworld.com
WOW! This thing is amazing. -Clint
Prop 'n Go allows me to use my iPad hands-free, and it can be easily adjusted to the perfect viewing angle, which makes it great for watching videos wherever you wish. It's reasonably small but sturdy and appears to be well-built. I've only used it for about a week and haven't experienced any of the problems that some have reported with the grip strips (that hold the iPad in place) peeling off. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product, and expect to get a lot of use out of it. -Shawcago
I'm very happy with it. -Pamela
In the last day since I received this I have tried as many positions as i could think of with this stand ( iPad Kama Sutra ) short of the tub, I'll skip that one.
The results are in... This is the most useful iPad stand out there as far as I'm concerned.
In bed, slouched on the couch and on a desk... Perfect!
If you've been looking for an all purpose stand for you're iPad you can bet that this will work for whatever you have in mind. -Frank Stuart
I ordered this for my Mom for Christmas so thought I would test it out in my room while relaxing in bed. Kept testing it. Wrapped it for Christmas but not before getting on Amazon to order one for me. I like the adjustment feature.
-Prairiewoman "Oglala Lakota"
Surprisingly useful iPad accessory; Makes it comfortable to use your iPad on your lap; holds the iPad securely in place; can be used with other tablets and with tablets in a variety of cases; has a pocket to store the iPad and accessories; comes with its own bag - Gear Diary
A very comfortable, not too thick, but nicely padded lap desk that appears to be fairly well constructed. I am using this with the new iPad Retina Display and the Kindle Fire Hd 7". The variety of viewing angles should accommodate most any requirement. It has a nice lip on the front to keep your device from slipping off the front. xxx

I love this iPad holder/desk!!! I read about so many others that had some kind of design flaw that made me hesitant to purchase one. The Prop 'n Go Slim is the best! No matter where I am sitting, I can get the right angle. I bought it to use on my lap while sitting or in bed, but I found It also works great on a table or countertop. The memory foam is so comfortable and it is much easier to use the iPad without having to hold it or balance it on my lap. I was concerned that the price was high and I would be disappointed. It is well made and worth the price. I use it every time I use my iPad. I highly recommend it!!!
Tyrus
I to the polka dot and loved it. Perfect for lap, table or bed. So many choices of angles and the pillow part is comfy. The iPad does not shift on it. Got hubby one immediately and he uses it all the time. Best workable portable stand I've found.
Yorkie Mama
Simple design and well made. Works perfectly and the slim profile makes it easy to take with me. Really has reduced my neck strain now that I can view my ipad at the proper angles.
Ronald A. Hutter
This product changes the way I do school! I am a college student and because the Prop 'n Go is so slim and lightweight I can easily put it in my backpack and take it to school with me, so convenient! Not only does it make typing and doing school work on my IPad much easier, it also props up textbooks. After all the homework, its the perfect tool to prop up my Netflix! The memory foam is so comfortable and the polka dots are so cute! Overall, this product is the best. If you have an IPad, Kindle or any other tablet, this is the product for you!
College Girl
My sister and i were ine of the first people to recieve this product and we love it! It it suprisingly lighweight and very versatile. It is nice that you can adjust the angle to fit your needs. The memory foam fabric keeps you cool after sitting. And the polka dots are a nice touch :)
Mary
I bought this book stand based on previous reviews and certainly didn't go wrong. It fills the bill by being useful in a chair, table, in bed or where ever. I've had several book stands that were a waste of time and money. This is an excellent product and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's not cheap and good thing because it's certainly worth it. It's a 5 star item.
Ronald Edward Ladue
I'm in love with the Prop 'n Go Slim. It makes using my iPad so comfortable in any position. I have a couple of other stands, but this is by far the best. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro straps so I could just carry the iPad and Prop 'n Go around all together. Nice price, too. I think you will be happy with this one.
Meisler
I have the black Prop n' Go slim--I didn't realize it also comes in blue! It is incredibly useful. I haven't tried any other products such as this, but I can't imagine needing anything more than the P n' G Slim. It is a very well-made product and is perfect for my iPad. Because of sore joints, I can't hold up my iPad myself for very long, so having a lap stand is necessary for my comfort.
MerriCarol
I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.
AngelAnn
The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.
Jonathan
My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.
RB601
Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!
Yorkie Mama
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.
YaYa
For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.
S. Booth
As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.
Tammie T. Mconnell
I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!
Judy Pluenneke
A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!

This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!
Terry L. Kelly
I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.

My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.

I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.

I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...
GSARider "Riding the world"
this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
WOW! This thing is amazing. -Clint
Prop 'n Go allows me to use my iPad hands-free, and it can be easily adjusted to the perfect viewing angle, which makes it great for watching videos wherever you wish. It's reasonably small but sturdy and appears to be well-built. I've only used it for about a week and haven't experienced any of the problems that some have reported with the grip strips (that hold the iPad in place) peeling off. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product, and expect to get a lot of use out of it. -Shawcago
I'm very happy with it. -Pamela
In the last day since I received this I have tried as many positions as i could think of with this stand ( iPad Kama Sutra ) short of the tub, I'll skip that one.
The results are in... This is the most useful iPad stand out there as far as I'm concerned.
In bed, slouched on the couch and on a desk... Perfect!
If you've been looking for an all purpose stand for you're iPad you can bet that this will work for whatever you have in mind. -Frank Stuart
I ordered this for my Mom for Christmas so thought I would test it out in my room while relaxing in bed. Kept testing it. Wrapped it for Christmas but not before getting on Amazon to order one for me. I like the adjustment feature.

Surprisingly useful iPad accessory; Makes it comfortable to use your iPad on your lap; holds the iPad securely in place; can be used with other tablets and with tablets in a variety of cases; has a pocket to store the iPad and accessories; comes with its own bag - Gear Diary
A very comfortable, not too thick, but nicely padded lap desk that appears to be fairly well constructed. I am using this with the new iPad Retina Display and the Kindle Fire Hd 7". The variety of viewing angles should accommodate most any requirement. It has a nice lip on the front to keep your device from slipping off the front. xxx

I love this iPad holder/desk!!! I read about so many others that had some kind of design flaw that made me hesitant to purchase one. The Prop 'n Go Slim is the best! No matter where I am sitting, I can get the right angle. I bought it to use on my lap while sitting or in bed, but I found It also works great on a table or countertop. The memory foam is so comfortable and it is much easier to use the iPad without having to hold it or balance it on my lap. I was concerned that the price was high and I would be disappointed. It is well made and worth the price. I use it every time I use my iPad. I highly recommend it!!!
Tyrus
I to the polka dot and loved it. Perfect for lap, table or bed. So many choices of angles and the pillow part is comfy. The iPad does not shift on it. Got hubby one immediately and he uses it all the time. Best workable portable stand I've found.
Yorkie Mama
Simple design and well made. Works perfectly and the slim profile makes it easy to take with me. Really has reduced my neck strain now that I can view my ipad at the proper angles.
Ronald A. Hutter
This product changes the way I do school! I am a college student and because the Prop 'n Go is so slim and lightweight I can easily put it in my backpack and take it to school with me, so convenient! Not only does it make typing and doing school work on my IPad much easier, it also props up textbooks. After all the homework, its the perfect tool to prop up my Netflix! The memory foam is so comfortable and the polka dots are so cute! Overall, this product is the best. If you have an IPad, Kindle or any other tablet, this is the product for you!
College Girl
My sister and i were ine of the first people to recieve this product and we love it! It it suprisingly lighweight and very versatile. It is nice that you can adjust the angle to fit your needs. The memory foam fabric keeps you cool after sitting. And the polka dots are a nice touch :)
Mary
I bought this book stand based on previous reviews and certainly didn't go wrong. It fills the bill by being useful in a chair, table, in bed or where ever. I've had several book stands that were a waste of time and money. This is an excellent product and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's not cheap and good thing because it's certainly worth it. It's a 5 star item.
Ronald Edward Ladue
I'm in love with the Prop 'n Go Slim. It makes using my iPad so comfortable in any position. I have a couple of other stands, but this is by far the best. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro straps so I could just carry the iPad and Prop 'n Go around all together. Nice price, too. I think you will be happy with this one.
Meisler
I have the black Prop n' Go slim--I didn't realize it also comes in blue! It is incredibly useful. I haven't tried any other products such as this, but I can't imagine needing anything more than the P n' G Slim. It is a very well-made product and is perfect for my iPad. Because of sore joints, I can't hold up my iPad myself for very long, so having a lap stand is necessary for my comfort.
MerriCarol
I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.
AngelAnn
The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.
Jonathan
My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.
RB601
Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!
Yorkie Mama
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.
YaYa
For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.
S. Booth
As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.
Tammie T. Mconnell
I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!
Judy Pluenneke
A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!
Luther Eddleman
This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!
Terry L. Kelly
I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

I love this product. It leaves my hands-free while i use my iPad on my lap. I feel liberated.

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.
Wizee
My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.

I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.

I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.

Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.
Tip Stott
I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.
Vol-au-vent
Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...
GSARider "Riding the world"
this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
I'm very happy with it. -Pamela
In the last day since I received this I have tried as many positions as i could think of with this stand ( iPad Kama Sutra ) short of the tub, I'll skip that one.
The results are in... This is the most useful iPad stand out there as far as I'm concerned.
In bed, slouched on the couch and on a desk... Perfect!
If you've been looking for an all purpose stand for you're iPad you can bet that this will work for whatever you have in mind. -Frank Stuart
I ordered this for my Mom for Christmas so thought I would test it out in my room while relaxing in bed. Kept testing it. Wrapped it for Christmas but not before getting on Amazon to order one for me. I like the adjustment feature.

Surprisingly useful iPad accessory; Makes it comfortable to use your iPad on your lap; holds the iPad securely in place; can be used with other tablets and with tablets in a variety of cases; has a pocket to store the iPad and accessories; comes with its own bag - Gear Diary
A very comfortable, not too thick, but nicely padded lap desk that appears to be fairly well constructed. I am using this with the new iPad Retina Display and the Kindle Fire Hd 7". The variety of viewing angles should accommodate most any requirement. It has a nice lip on the front to keep your device from slipping off the front. xxx

I love this iPad holder/desk!!! I read about so many others that had some kind of design flaw that made me hesitant to purchase one. The Prop 'n Go Slim is the best! No matter where I am sitting, I can get the right angle. I bought it to use on my lap while sitting or in bed, but I found It also works great on a table or countertop. The memory foam is so comfortable and it is much easier to use the iPad without having to hold it or balance it on my lap. I was concerned that the price was high and I would be disappointed. It is well made and worth the price. I use it every time I use my iPad. I highly recommend it!!!
Tyrus
I to the polka dot and loved it. Perfect for lap, table or bed. So many choices of angles and the pillow part is comfy. The iPad does not shift on it. Got hubby one immediately and he uses it all the time. Best workable portable stand I've found.
Yorkie Mama
Simple design and well made. Works perfectly and the slim profile makes it easy to take with me. Really has reduced my neck strain now that I can view my ipad at the proper angles.
Ronald A. Hutter
This product changes the way I do school! I am a college student and because the Prop 'n Go is so slim and lightweight I can easily put it in my backpack and take it to school with me, so convenient! Not only does it make typing and doing school work on my IPad much easier, it also props up textbooks. After all the homework, its the perfect tool to prop up my Netflix! The memory foam is so comfortable and the polka dots are so cute! Overall, this product is the best. If you have an IPad, Kindle or any other tablet, this is the product for you!
College Girl
My sister and i were ine of the first people to recieve this product and we love it! It it suprisingly lighweight and very versatile. It is nice that you can adjust the angle to fit your needs. The memory foam fabric keeps you cool after sitting. And the polka dots are a nice touch :)
Mary
I bought this book stand based on previous reviews and certainly didn't go wrong. It fills the bill by being useful in a chair, table, in bed or where ever. I've had several book stands that were a waste of time and money. This is an excellent product and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's not cheap and good thing because it's certainly worth it. It's a 5 star item.
Ronald Edward Ladue
I'm in love with the Prop 'n Go Slim. It makes using my iPad so comfortable in any position. I have a couple of other stands, but this is by far the best. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro straps so I could just carry the iPad and Prop 'n Go around all together. Nice price, too. I think you will be happy with this one.
Meisler
I have the black Prop n' Go slim--I didn't realize it also comes in blue! It is incredibly useful. I haven't tried any other products such as this, but I can't imagine needing anything more than the P n' G Slim. It is a very well-made product and is perfect for my iPad. Because of sore joints, I can't hold up my iPad myself for very long, so having a lap stand is necessary for my comfort.
MerriCarol
I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.
AngelAnn
The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.
Jonathan
My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.
RB601
Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!
Yorkie Mama
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.
YaYa
For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.
S. Booth
As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.

I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!
Judy Pluenneke
A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!
Luther Eddleman
This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!

I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

I love this product. It leaves my hands-free while i use my iPad on my lap. I feel liberated.

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.
Wizee
My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.
Dapmfp
Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.

I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.

Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone

I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.

I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.

I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..

The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.

I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!

I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.

I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...
GSARider "Riding the world"
this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
The results are in... This is the most useful iPad stand out there as far as I'm concerned.
In bed, slouched on the couch and on a desk... Perfect!
If you've been looking for an all purpose stand for you're iPad you can bet that this will work for whatever you have in mind. -Frank Stuart
I ordered this for my Mom for Christmas so thought I would test it out in my room while relaxing in bed. Kept testing it. Wrapped it for Christmas but not before getting on Amazon to order one for me. I like the adjustment feature.

Surprisingly useful iPad accessory; Makes it comfortable to use your iPad on your lap; holds the iPad securely in place; can be used with other tablets and with tablets in a variety of cases; has a pocket to store the iPad and accessories; comes with its own bag - Gear Diary
A very comfortable, not too thick, but nicely padded lap desk that appears to be fairly well constructed. I am using this with the new iPad Retina Display and the Kindle Fire Hd 7". The variety of viewing angles should accommodate most any requirement. It has a nice lip on the front to keep your device from slipping off the front. xxx

I love this iPad holder/desk!!! I read about so many others that had some kind of design flaw that made me hesitant to purchase one. The Prop 'n Go Slim is the best! No matter where I am sitting, I can get the right angle. I bought it to use on my lap while sitting or in bed, but I found It also works great on a table or countertop. The memory foam is so comfortable and it is much easier to use the iPad without having to hold it or balance it on my lap. I was concerned that the price was high and I would be disappointed. It is well made and worth the price. I use it every time I use my iPad. I highly recommend it!!!
Tyrus
I to the polka dot and loved it. Perfect for lap, table or bed. So many choices of angles and the pillow part is comfy. The iPad does not shift on it. Got hubby one immediately and he uses it all the time. Best workable portable stand I've found.
Yorkie Mama
Simple design and well made. Works perfectly and the slim profile makes it easy to take with me. Really has reduced my neck strain now that I can view my ipad at the proper angles.
Ronald A. Hutter
This product changes the way I do school! I am a college student and because the Prop 'n Go is so slim and lightweight I can easily put it in my backpack and take it to school with me, so convenient! Not only does it make typing and doing school work on my IPad much easier, it also props up textbooks. After all the homework, its the perfect tool to prop up my Netflix! The memory foam is so comfortable and the polka dots are so cute! Overall, this product is the best. If you have an IPad, Kindle or any other tablet, this is the product for you!
College Girl
My sister and i were ine of the first people to recieve this product and we love it! It it suprisingly lighweight and very versatile. It is nice that you can adjust the angle to fit your needs. The memory foam fabric keeps you cool after sitting. And the polka dots are a nice touch :)
Mary
I bought this book stand based on previous reviews and certainly didn't go wrong. It fills the bill by being useful in a chair, table, in bed or where ever. I've had several book stands that were a waste of time and money. This is an excellent product and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's not cheap and good thing because it's certainly worth it. It's a 5 star item.
Ronald Edward Ladue
I'm in love with the Prop 'n Go Slim. It makes using my iPad so comfortable in any position. I have a couple of other stands, but this is by far the best. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro straps so I could just carry the iPad and Prop 'n Go around all together. Nice price, too. I think you will be happy with this one.
Meisler
I have the black Prop n' Go slim--I didn't realize it also comes in blue! It is incredibly useful. I haven't tried any other products such as this, but I can't imagine needing anything more than the P n' G Slim. It is a very well-made product and is perfect for my iPad. Because of sore joints, I can't hold up my iPad myself for very long, so having a lap stand is necessary for my comfort.
MerriCarol
I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.
AngelAnn
The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.

My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.
RB601
Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!
Yorkie Mama
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.
YaYa
For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.
S. Booth
As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.
Tammie T. Mconnell
I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!
Judy Pluenneke
A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!

This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!

I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.

My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.

I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.

I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.
Dapmfp
Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.
Tip Stott
I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
A very comfortable, not too thick, but nicely padded lap desk that appears to be fairly well constructed. I am using this with the new iPad Retina Display and the Kindle Fire Hd 7". The variety of viewing angles should accommodate most any requirement. It has a nice lip on the front to keep your device from slipping off the front. xxx

I love this iPad holder/desk!!! I read about so many others that had some kind of design flaw that made me hesitant to purchase one. The Prop 'n Go Slim is the best! No matter where I am sitting, I can get the right angle. I bought it to use on my lap while sitting or in bed, but I found It also works great on a table or countertop. The memory foam is so comfortable and it is much easier to use the iPad without having to hold it or balance it on my lap. I was concerned that the price was high and I would be disappointed. It is well made and worth the price. I use it every time I use my iPad. I highly recommend it!!!
Tyrus
I to the polka dot and loved it. Perfect for lap, table or bed. So many choices of angles and the pillow part is comfy. The iPad does not shift on it. Got hubby one immediately and he uses it all the time. Best workable portable stand I've found.
Yorkie Mama
Simple design and well made. Works perfectly and the slim profile makes it easy to take with me. Really has reduced my neck strain now that I can view my ipad at the proper angles.
Ronald A. Hutter
This product changes the way I do school! I am a college student and because the Prop 'n Go is so slim and lightweight I can easily put it in my backpack and take it to school with me, so convenient! Not only does it make typing and doing school work on my IPad much easier, it also props up textbooks. After all the homework, its the perfect tool to prop up my Netflix! The memory foam is so comfortable and the polka dots are so cute! Overall, this product is the best. If you have an IPad, Kindle or any other tablet, this is the product for you!
College Girl
My sister and i were ine of the first people to recieve this product and we love it! It it suprisingly lighweight and very versatile. It is nice that you can adjust the angle to fit your needs. The memory foam fabric keeps you cool after sitting. And the polka dots are a nice touch :)
Mary
I bought this book stand based on previous reviews and certainly didn't go wrong. It fills the bill by being useful in a chair, table, in bed or where ever. I've had several book stands that were a waste of time and money. This is an excellent product and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's not cheap and good thing because it's certainly worth it. It's a 5 star item.
Ronald Edward Ladue
I'm in love with the Prop 'n Go Slim. It makes using my iPad so comfortable in any position. I have a couple of other stands, but this is by far the best. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro straps so I could just carry the iPad and Prop 'n Go around all together. Nice price, too. I think you will be happy with this one.
Meisler
I have the black Prop n' Go slim--I didn't realize it also comes in blue! It is incredibly useful. I haven't tried any other products such as this, but I can't imagine needing anything more than the P n' G Slim. It is a very well-made product and is perfect for my iPad. Because of sore joints, I can't hold up my iPad myself for very long, so having a lap stand is necessary for my comfort.
MerriCarol
I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.
AngelAnn
The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.
Jonathan
My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.
RB601
Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!
Yorkie Mama
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.
YaYa
For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.
S. Booth
As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.

I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!
Judy Pluenneke
A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!
Luther Eddleman
This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!
Terry L. Kelly
I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

I love this product. It leaves my hands-free while i use my iPad on my lap. I feel liberated.

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.
Wizee
My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.

I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.

I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.

Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.
Tip Stott
I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.
Vol-au-vent
Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...
GSARider "Riding the world"
this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!
James
J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable
Claire
Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
I love this iPad holder/desk!!! I read about so many others that had some kind of design flaw that made me hesitant to purchase one. The Prop 'n Go Slim is the best! No matter where I am sitting, I can get the right angle. I bought it to use on my lap while sitting or in bed, but I found It also works great on a table or countertop. The memory foam is so comfortable and it is much easier to use the iPad without having to hold it or balance it on my lap. I was concerned that the price was high and I would be disappointed. It is well made and worth the price. I use it every time I use my iPad. I highly recommend it!!!
Tyrus
I to the polka dot and loved it. Perfect for lap, table or bed. So many choices of angles and the pillow part is comfy. The iPad does not shift on it. Got hubby one immediately and he uses it all the time. Best workable portable stand I've found.
Yorkie Mama
Simple design and well made. Works perfectly and the slim profile makes it easy to take with me. Really has reduced my neck strain now that I can view my ipad at the proper angles.
Ronald A. Hutter
This product changes the way I do school! I am a college student and because the Prop 'n Go is so slim and lightweight I can easily put it in my backpack and take it to school with me, so convenient! Not only does it make typing and doing school work on my IPad much easier, it also props up textbooks. After all the homework, its the perfect tool to prop up my Netflix! The memory foam is so comfortable and the polka dots are so cute! Overall, this product is the best. If you have an IPad, Kindle or any other tablet, this is the product for you!
College Girl
My sister and i were ine of the first people to recieve this product and we love it! It it suprisingly lighweight and very versatile. It is nice that you can adjust the angle to fit your needs. The memory foam fabric keeps you cool after sitting. And the polka dots are a nice touch :)
Mary
I bought this book stand based on previous reviews and certainly didn't go wrong. It fills the bill by being useful in a chair, table, in bed or where ever. I've had several book stands that were a waste of time and money. This is an excellent product and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's not cheap and good thing because it's certainly worth it. It's a 5 star item.
Ronald Edward Ladue
I'm in love with the Prop 'n Go Slim. It makes using my iPad so comfortable in any position. I have a couple of other stands, but this is by far the best. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro straps so I could just carry the iPad and Prop 'n Go around all together. Nice price, too. I think you will be happy with this one.
Meisler
I have the black Prop n' Go slim--I didn't realize it also comes in blue! It is incredibly useful. I haven't tried any other products such as this, but I can't imagine needing anything more than the P n' G Slim. It is a very well-made product and is perfect for my iPad. Because of sore joints, I can't hold up my iPad myself for very long, so having a lap stand is necessary for my comfort.
MerriCarol
I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.
AngelAnn
The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.
Jonathan
My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.
RB601
Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!
Yorkie Mama
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.
YaYa
For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.
S. Booth
As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.

I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!
Judy Pluenneke
A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!
Luther Eddleman
This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!

I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

I love this product. It leaves my hands-free while i use my iPad on my lap. I feel liberated.

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.
Wizee
My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.
Dapmfp
Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.

Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone

I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.

I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..

The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.

I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...
GSARider "Riding the world"
this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!
James
J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable
Claire
Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
Simple design and well made. Works perfectly and the slim profile makes it easy to take with me. Really has reduced my neck strain now that I can view my ipad at the proper angles.
Ronald A. Hutter
This product changes the way I do school! I am a college student and because the Prop 'n Go is so slim and lightweight I can easily put it in my backpack and take it to school with me, so convenient! Not only does it make typing and doing school work on my IPad much easier, it also props up textbooks. After all the homework, its the perfect tool to prop up my Netflix! The memory foam is so comfortable and the polka dots are so cute! Overall, this product is the best. If you have an IPad, Kindle or any other tablet, this is the product for you!
College Girl
My sister and i were ine of the first people to recieve this product and we love it! It it suprisingly lighweight and very versatile. It is nice that you can adjust the angle to fit your needs. The memory foam fabric keeps you cool after sitting. And the polka dots are a nice touch :)
Mary
I bought this book stand based on previous reviews and certainly didn't go wrong. It fills the bill by being useful in a chair, table, in bed or where ever. I've had several book stands that were a waste of time and money. This is an excellent product and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's not cheap and good thing because it's certainly worth it. It's a 5 star item.
Ronald Edward Ladue
I'm in love with the Prop 'n Go Slim. It makes using my iPad so comfortable in any position. I have a couple of other stands, but this is by far the best. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro straps so I could just carry the iPad and Prop 'n Go around all together. Nice price, too. I think you will be happy with this one.
Meisler
I have the black Prop n' Go slim--I didn't realize it also comes in blue! It is incredibly useful. I haven't tried any other products such as this, but I can't imagine needing anything more than the P n' G Slim. It is a very well-made product and is perfect for my iPad. Because of sore joints, I can't hold up my iPad myself for very long, so having a lap stand is necessary for my comfort.
MerriCarol
I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.
AngelAnn
The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.
Jonathan
My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.
RB601
Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!
Yorkie Mama
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.
YaYa
For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.
S. Booth
As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.
Tammie T. Mconnell
I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!
Judy Pluenneke
A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!

This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!
Terry L. Kelly
I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.

My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.

I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.

I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.
Tip Stott
I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...
GSARider "Riding the world"
this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
My sister and i were ine of the first people to recieve this product and we love it! It it suprisingly lighweight and very versatile. It is nice that you can adjust the angle to fit your needs. The memory foam fabric keeps you cool after sitting. And the polka dots are a nice touch :)

I bought this book stand based on previous reviews and certainly didn't go wrong. It fills the bill by being useful in a chair, table, in bed or where ever. I've had several book stands that were a waste of time and money. This is an excellent product and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's not cheap and good thing because it's certainly worth it. It's a 5 star item.

I'm in love with the Prop 'n Go Slim. It makes using my iPad so comfortable in any position. I have a couple of other stands, but this is by far the best. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro straps so I could just carry the iPad and Prop 'n Go around all together. Nice price, too. I think you will be happy with this one.
Meisler
I have the black Prop n' Go slim--I didn't realize it also comes in blue! It is incredibly useful. I haven't tried any other products such as this, but I can't imagine needing anything more than the P n' G Slim. It is a very well-made product and is perfect for my iPad. Because of sore joints, I can't hold up my iPad myself for very long, so having a lap stand is necessary for my comfort.
MerriCarol
I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.
AngelAnn
The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.
Jonathan
My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.
RB601
Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!
Yorkie Mama
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.
YaYa
For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.

As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.
Tammie T. Mconnell
I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!
Judy Pluenneke
A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!
Luther Eddleman
This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!

I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

I love this product. It leaves my hands-free while i use my iPad on my lap. I feel liberated.

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.
Wizee
My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.

This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.

I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.

It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.

I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)

This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!

I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.
Tip Stott
I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.
Vol-au-vent
Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...
GSARider "Riding the world"
this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!
James
J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable
Claire
Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
I'm in love with the Prop 'n Go Slim. It makes using my iPad so comfortable in any position. I have a couple of other stands, but this is by far the best. My only suggestion would be to add some velcro straps so I could just carry the iPad and Prop 'n Go around all together. Nice price, too. I think you will be happy with this one.
Meisler
I have the black Prop n' Go slim--I didn't realize it also comes in blue! It is incredibly useful. I haven't tried any other products such as this, but I can't imagine needing anything more than the P n' G Slim. It is a very well-made product and is perfect for my iPad. Because of sore joints, I can't hold up my iPad myself for very long, so having a lap stand is necessary for my comfort.
MerriCarol
I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.
AngelAnn
The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.
Jonathan
My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.
RB601
Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!
Yorkie Mama
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.
YaYa
For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.
S. Booth
As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.
Tammie T. Mconnell
I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!
Judy Pluenneke
A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!
Luther Eddleman
This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!

I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.

My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.

I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.

I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)

I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,

Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
I love my new lap pad. I use it with my iPad3. Perfect fit. It is just what I wanted and I would recommend to anyone.
All pros, no cons. Great price, great product.
This is the best "shipping in a hurry" I have ever received from my favorite online shopping site.
AngelAnn
The Prop n' Go is well made and functional. The adjustable angles make using your iPad or other tablet device easy and comfortable.
Jonathan
My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.
RB601
Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!
Yorkie Mama
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.
YaYa
For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.

As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.

I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!
Judy Pluenneke
A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!

This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!

I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.

My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.

I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.

I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.

I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.

Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.
Tip Stott
I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.
Vol-au-vent
Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...
GSARider "Riding the world"
this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!
James
J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable
Claire
Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
My husband uses it for his IPAD 2 and I plan to buy one when I get mine. Great idea.
RB601
Excellent angle choices. Comfy. Lightweight. Works well for table, chair, or in bed. Recommend this highly. Best stand I've had yet!!
Yorkie Mama
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.
YaYa
For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.
S. Booth
As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.

I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!

A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!

This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!

I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

I love this product. It leaves my hands-free while i use my iPad on my lap. I feel liberated.

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.
Wizee
My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.

I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.

This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!

I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.

I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.

I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)

Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !

I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,

Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
I am extremely pleased with this product. Slim and very easy to pack for trips. Very glad I purchased it.
YaYa
For anyone who uses a tablet in bed or while seated on a couch. It is well constructed, light weight, comfortable, simple and inexpensive.
Gadgetman
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.

As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.
Tammie T. Mconnell
I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!
Judy Pluenneke
A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!
Luther Eddleman
This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!
Terry L. Kelly
I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.
Wizee
My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!

I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!

I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.

""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"

This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.

I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.

I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.
Tip Stott
I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.
Vol-au-vent
Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...
GSARider "Riding the world"
this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!
James
J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable
Claire
Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
I use this for my 3rd gen iPad and my 11 in. Macbook Air. What a great product. On the couch, in bed, or even sitting on a desk, it hold the ipad or my MBA secure and in place. The multiple angles as well are a great option!
All in all I highly recommend this stand.
Dan Lizette
Just what I wanted!! Fits my iPad perfectly. Holds it steady. Is comfortable & perfectly adjustable. I couldn't be happier!!
Dazeymae
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.
S. Booth
As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.

I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!

A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!

This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!

I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

I love this product. It leaves my hands-free while i use my iPad on my lap. I feel liberated.

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.
Wizee
My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.

Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone

I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.

I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.

I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.

This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..

The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.

I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.

This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!

I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.

I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,

Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
I was having a hard time finding something small and comfortable for an 11.6 inch laptop. When I stumbled on this, I knew it would work from the photos. It was a little more than I was used to paying for a lap table. But, like I said, not a huge market for good quality, compact lap tables for Netbooks. Plus I figured it would do double duty since we have a Kindle.
Well, it is perfect. It's lightweight, compact, and comfortable. Keeps the laptop off my legs so it can get air circulation. It's small so it's not a nuisance and stows away easily.
D. Paschall
Love this. makes it so much easier to use your iPad in bed or traveling. I would recommend to everyone. My sister loves hers to.

As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!

I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.

I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!
Judy Pluenneke
A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!
Luther Eddleman
This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!
Terry L. Kelly
I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.
Wizee
My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!

The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.

Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!

I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.

""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"

This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.

I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.
Tip Stott
I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...
GSARider "Riding the world"
this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!
James
J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable
Claire
Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
As a frequent user of my MacBook Air (13 inch) and my iPad, and as an avid reader of books as well, I found that the Prop 'n Go Slim perfectly met all of my needs.
Of course, as a student, I have to do homework, study, and read several hours per day, and this also involves a lot of locations; for example, I work and read at my desk, in the library, in a cafe, on my couch, and even in bed. I found my shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands getting sore from holding up my MacBook Air, iPad, and heavy books for the hours that I needed to use them for. The Prop n' Go Slim has really helped a lot!
It has been perfect for all three of my needs, and has really been versatile beyond that. For example, I use an iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has come in VERY handy. When I first got my iPad, the stand/cover that I bought with it didn't really provide adequate support. It wasn't supportive enough and did not have as much angle versatility as the Prop n' Go Slim does. With the Prop n' Go Slim, there are a lot more angles that the iPad can be propped up on, and the Prop n' Go Slim really allows for more pressure when you're using the iPad. I used to have to hold or steady the iPad with one hand while I used the other on the iPad, and the Prop n' Go Slim has eliminated my hand having to hold it in place! The Prop n' Go Slim has been really reliable and has made using the iPad a lot more comfortable to use! I really recommend this product for iPad users!
The Prop n' Go Slim has also made sitting and reading a textbook for hours and hours a lot easier. Finding a comfortable way to hold a 5lb textbook isn't very easy! The Prop n' Go Slim really helped--whether I was sitting at my desk, table, on my couch, or in bed, I could prop my textbook on the Prop n' Go Slim and it was just SO much more comfortable; basically all I had to do was turn the pages. Really nice.
I also use my Prop n' Go Slim to prop my MacBook Air up on. This has been especially helpful on my couch or in bed--my MacBook can heat up and get pretty hot after I've used it for awhile, so not only does the Prop n' Go Slim help keep my MacBook from burning my stomach and legs, but it also helps to keep it at the perfect angle so my wrists don't start hurting from typing or using the mousepad.
I really recommend this product! I have a lot of problems with having generally poor posture, and Prop n' Go Slim has really helped me be more comfortable on the whole. :) AWChristensen
When my husband bought me a Ipad, I was so excited! After using it for a few days, we knew it needed some kind of prop. We would try putting a pillow under the Ipad but it would slip out. We got this Prop 'n go slim as a gift. One of my favorite things about this product, it has grip strips that hold the Ipad in place!! SO SMART!!! I love it! I use it in the kitchen to prop my Ipad, for all my recipes. In bed it's great for when you need to type an email. Using just your thumbs is hard to type more than 20 words. I prop my Mac book pro (17') on it. My lap never gets hot!! I can go on and on! I love this prop n' go slim! I think this is a great gift for anyone!!!
KRP
I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.

I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!

A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!

This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!

I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

I love this product. It leaves my hands-free while i use my iPad on my lap. I feel liberated.

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.
Wizee
My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!

I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone

I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.

I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.

I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.

This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!

Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..

The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.

I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.

This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!

I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.

I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)

Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,

Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
I bought a competing product before this to replace the belkin viewlounge i had lost. i gave this new product(lap pro) a evening or so and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Tried this one as the bigger prop n go's just scared me off with their bulkiness and this so far really does address most of what i was looking for. first, it's much smaller on the padding underneath and that padding is a memory foam so it easily molds to your legs when using it like that. adjusting the angles is much easier then the lap pro and much, much more stable. I found the lap pro to not be very functional on the lap, it was much better served when propping on a couch or bed but with this prop n go slim, i find it does all the comfortable positions much easier then anything i've used before. the side grips are sort of pointless, I don't think they do much but with as big as it is, slipping of the stand is not really a concern. It's going to work great when watching the ipad in bed and while it is big as stands go, it does do what I want it to do to much more of a degree then other products i've used in the past. I'm not taking this thing on the go to starbucks or anything but for lounging/sleeping scenarios at home, I am really happy with this purchase and feel it's going to serve my needs much better then the lap pro i tried before it and the belkin viewlounge it was replacing.

I bought a prop'n go (w/built in back pack) several months ago.
I sort of 'collect' iPad cases and paraphernalia. Saw this online and thought it was novel and different, and most of all, it sounded very practical and useful.
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder.
It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go.
This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping.
I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice.

I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!
Judy Pluenneke
A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!

This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!

I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.
Wizee
My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.

Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.

I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....

The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.

I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.

Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.
Tip Stott
I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.
Vol-au-vent
Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
Well, after I got it, I never really used it. I opened it, looked at it, and tried it a couple times, then it lay in my 'extra stuff' room several months and months.
Well, I am getting older, and have been getting alot of bad joint stiffness, especially in my left shoulder.
I have a really bad habit of laying in bed at night and reading the news, checking e-mail, doing research, etc. on my iPad for hours and hours. Well, in the last week or so, I had been having a terrible soreness in my left shoulder. Could not raise my arm over my head without pain. coincidentally, I happened to think about it and realized that this was the same arm I had been propping up my iPad with, while using my pointer finger on my right hand.
It felt like I had a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder. It finally dawned on me that this was most probably due to holding my arm in a fixed, stiff position for hours on end.
Once I realized that, I remembered, wait a minute! I have that title prop'n go thing....I'll go get that and use it.
What a lifesaver it has been. Now my shoulder, which was getting worse and worse, can start to heal as I am no longer damaging it with overuse and flexed stiffness. It really was starting to hurt
This is such a great product - who knew it could have major health benefits, as well as being so wonderfully functional.
I will always grateful for the absolutely life saving prop'n go. This is a great product for older people whose joints get stiff with a lot of manual propping. I like the prop'n go better than the cases with flaps that supposedly prop.
The PnG is much, much more durable and solid, and it has all those many, many angles.
The PnG will be my new table of choice. Tammie T. Mconnell
I have really enjoyed using my Prop 'n Go All-In-One. It is wonderful! I did have a problem with the prop support, I called the seller and he immediately sent me another one free of charge. I would recommend this to everyone!
Judy Pluenneke
A small pillow and box of tissues as a back prop just doesn't cut it for using iPad in bed. So I looked for a solution. Thought I found it and was ready to buy the wedge type of holder ... That is until I stumbled on the Prop 'n Go All-in-One. AWESOME! I love it!
Gizmorelda
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!
Luther Eddleman
This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!
Terry L. Kelly
I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.

My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.

I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
Great piece of gear. Works very well. Comfortable!! Great gift! My Wife was very surprised how well it fit her. Works well in the car or on the sofa!!
Luther Eddleman
This was just what I was looking for as I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. It is literally a weight off my hand and mind. I travel with it everywhere: table, bedroom, trips.

I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!

I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

I love this product. It leaves my hands-free while i use my iPad on my lap. I feel liberated.

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.
Wizee
My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone

I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.

I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.

I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.

This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!

Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..

The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.

I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.

This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!

I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.

I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,

Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable
Claire
Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
I already gave the Prop n Go a five star review because I LOVE it as a stand for my ipad or Kindle. I have a case that goes around my ipad that makes it into an instant stand so I wasn't sure I really needed one but at Christmas, Santa thought that I did. And I LOVE it. It holds a tablet perfectly so you can lay on the couch, stretch your legs out straight (rather than propping your tablet up on your knees) and truly sit comfortably. And the pocket also hold the tablet protectively when you travel (this, I recently found out, is wonderful for a long car ride out of comfort alone when you want to read your tablet...while someone else is driving of course!)
So imagine my surprise when I recently, after using this nearly every day for weeks, determined I was actually given the one with a backpack attachment.
Here's the thing...this comes with no instructions and no little card or piece of paper with any overview so, because I didn't order it for myself, I wasn't aware there was a hidden surprise inside. I opened that pocket many many many times and never knew that if I reached around the top part of the pocket and pulled down, straps were hidden inside. The first time my ipad nudged them, I began unrolling it and thought it was some kind or a storage bag but then much to my delight determined I had the integrated backpack...even better for travel! Now if I get out of the car at a reststop I can run in and my computer is tucked in the pocket but even better, if I travel to the beach I have my Kindle in my carry pouch but am hands free so I can carry my other goods. But even if you leave this on the beach towel and go for a dip in the water, whereas someone might nab your beach bag or certainly your tablet if left out, This simply looks like a travel pillow. Your tablet is hidden inside which I feel keeps it safer.
Because you can change the angle at which your tablet rests on this, No matter how you are propped up for reading, it makes it comfortable.
I actually use this daily.Chandler
Although the iPad is light and kind of small you still tire from holding it when you use it for long periods of time. I saw this online, ordered it and couldn't wait to try it out. All I can say is I won't even use my iPad now without this. Thanks for putting so much thought into a terrific, essential product!

I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.
Wizee
My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.

Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.

I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.

This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.

It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.

I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)

This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!

I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable
Claire
Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll!

I love this product. It leaves my hands-free while i use my iPad on my lap. I feel liberated.

The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.
Wizee
My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.

""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"

This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.

I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.

I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.

I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.

Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.
Tip Stott
I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.
Vol-au-vent
Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...
GSARider "Riding the world"
this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
I bought this product for use mainly with my Ipad but have found it works great for my Kindle reading in bed too. So far tho' I am unhappy with the non-slip strips. They have curled up badly and leave a sticky residue to deal with. I received a non solicited e-mail from the company acknowledging this problem and they assured its customers that they were working on a fix..but so far nothing. Also the angle control slips when placed in its lowest slot which is also the most comfortable angle for me. So, the jury is still out. Overall I like the product..esp. if they figure out a fix for the strips
As an addendum...the company fulfilled their promise to fix the non slip strips. The fix arrived in my mailbox sooner than expected..it was simple to replace the strips and I am very happy. The company has been fantastic in its responses to me I am amazed at the customer service. I am more than happy to recommend Padded Spaces to ll! Joan O'Brien
The glue on rubber strips make the strips curl up, so that you have to push them back in place. This does not effect in any way how it works, but can get aggravating. Vender notified me about the problem and they are working to fix the cause. It has been a month and I haven't heard anything. They are to send repair and new strips, none yet. After repairing myself, works as advertised, just great. 5 stars for me.
Wizee
My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.
Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!

Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.

Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.

I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.

The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.

Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.
Tip Stott
I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...
GSARider "Riding the world"
this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!
James
J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable
Claire
Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
My chiropracter suggested I stop looking down at all my devices, b/c it is giving me a pain in the neck. This helps me maintain a more ergonomic posture when using my ipad, especially in bed. Im happy with every aspect, highly recommend.
Carlo Bontempi
I absolutely love the Prop 'n Go Lite Hybrid Lap Stand. It is perfect for sitting in my recliner and reading with my Kindle 2. I went through leaning my Kindle against a pillow on my lap for years, and wishing I had a specially shaped wedge cushion to hold it. Then I discovered that others had had the same idea. I tried out the "Prop 'n Go," and the Ipevo MEPX-04IP IPEVO Cushi Pillow Stand for iPad and iPad 2 - Blue Denim and the Adjustable Laptop Table with Cooling Fans Portable Laptop Laidback Computer Desk Bed Tray Book Stand Multifuctional & Ergonomics design dual layer tabletop up to 17 3/4". Of all three, I think the Prop 'n Go is, by far, the best.
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle.

I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
I read for hours at a time, and I love the comfort of the Prop 'n Go, and the simplicity and ease of adjusting the reading angle to the perfect position, the soft cushion for you lap, and the smaller size to make it easier to carry, store, or simply sit out of the way on an end table when not in use. Also, I have the old K2 that requires a push on the side bars to advance the page. So I find the open space created by the angle of the prop very handy. I can actually rest my hand on the side of the Prop 'n Go, with my fingers curled behind the Kindle in the open space created by the prop, and then I can push the K2 page advance bar with my thumb. I don't really understand the need for the non-slip strips. I think they don't really come into play when your Kindle is propped up at an angle, as the small bar at the bottom holds the Kindle in place. However, I have not had any issues with them as other reviewers have mentioned, so I assume the problem has been fixed. Also, I keep my Kindle in a soft padded case with a front cover that zips open and folds backs behind the Kindle. There is enough room between the angle, and the bar at the bottom of the Prop 'no Go to accomodate my Kindle while in its case. So I don't have to remove the protective case from my Kindle to read. The angled lap cushion on the Prop 'n Go also raises the Kindle screen to a more comfortable level for viewing. I don't have to bend my neck as much as when my Kindle was simply propped against a pillow in my lap. If you have a Kindle Touch, I think this would be even more of a consideration, as there's no keyboard at the bottom to raise the screen a little higher.
When I tried the Ipevo Cushi Pillow, there was only one angle. It worked okay, and was certainly better than a pillow in my lap, but for me it was not as handy as the Prop 'n Go, as I missed the angle adjustment feature. Also it was difficult to curl my hand around the back of my Kindle, as there's no open space there. In its favor is the fact that it's all fabric and cushion--there's nothing to break if you fall asleep while reading, and the cushion is removable, allowing you to wash the covering fabric.
The Adjustable Laptop Table was nice too--but a lot more hassle to adjust, and bigger and heavier to carry around, and as with the Cushi Pillow, there's no room to curl my hand around my Kindle. Also, unless your recliner chair arms are really wide apart, the legs of the table may not fit between the chair arms to rest on the seat cushion, although it would work well on a sofa. Also, I think it might be nice in the summer time, when it feels too hot to have even a small cushion on your lap. I think this product is really more intended for laptops, although it will work with IPads and Kindles.
So after having tried all three, I still came back to the Prop 'n Go as the absolute, hands-down, best product for reading my Kindle. I really, really love it, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a Kindle. Bookfanatic
I bought this primarily to read my Nook in bed and just love it. It has a "lip" that keeps the Nook from slipping and you can adjust it to any angle you need. I haven't found any other book holder that does all of this. Highly recommend this.
S. Casey
I've tried many iPad holders and all have broken or not been as flexible as the Prop N Go. I highly recommend this, I own one and I bought several for friends everybody loves them!

I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.
Dapmfp
Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)

Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !

I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,

Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable
Claire
Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
I was trying to watch a Netflix movie with my iPad propped up against a pillow and it kept slipping, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy one of the lap pillows I have been pondering over for a while.
I picked this product because of the reviews, and I am very happy with this product. Now I've only had it for a week, but I love it. I can rest it on my lap and have the iPad at any angle I want. I can set it on the bed next to me to watch a movie - no slipping down. Very happy with the purchase. Josie's Mom
The Prop N Go is awesome. I was leary at first because I thought it looked sorta cheesy (lol) but I'm SOOOO glad I got it! And I do wish it came in prettier colors, however, it's truly the best and most functional lap holder I've had. The adjusting stand is perfect and hits every possible angle. Everyone that uses it falls in love with it. As a result, I've given 3 away and am now purchasing my 4th, which I hope to be able to hold onto!!!
KennieKen
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)

I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,

Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
Wonderful stand for ipad, however I only recommend when you are sitting or over a desk. If you intend to use it laying in bed, then I would recommend the Targus Lap Lounge. However, for anything else I prefer this stand, its so simple, light and works very well for me. The manufacturer is thoughtful, he sent me a letter months after I acquired the product with some rubber strips they developed recently to prevent slipping. I highly recommend it.
J.C. Carneiro "SHADOW133"
Does exactly what is supposed to do. Very good quality. I think the issues will the sticky strips has been fixed. Can't wait to use it to watch a movie. It works great with my Xoom, Fire, and Kindle.
AnnieB
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)

It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
I regularly sit in my "Lazy Boy" while watching TV and using an iPad. I needed something to position the iPad at the correct angle and also to make it more comfortable. This item works perfectly. It has a soft cushion for your lap and the top has an adjustable shelf to angle your tablet. it is very simple but constructed well and works!
Alan
I got this lap desk for my mom and she loved it. She uses it all of the time. It's a great product if you're looking for a lap desk for an iPad and not trying to spend a ton of money.
Amy E. Gulyas
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.
Dapmfp
Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.
Tip Stott
I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts.

This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
The downside to reading in your ipad kindle is that your arms can get stiff. This solves the problem by propping up the ipad to the perfect height for reading in bed or anywhere!
Angie Hattery
My wife, for whom this was a gift, loves it, and I steal it for myself when possible. Easy & comfortable to use, with a ton of adjustability. We've not experienced the problem with the adhesive strips that some others have mentioned, thankfully.
J. Blaut
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!

The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.

Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.
Dapmfp
Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.
Tip Stott
I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.
Vol-au-vent
Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...
GSARider "Riding the world"
this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
The Prop 'N Go Lite was better than I expected. It was everything their website said it would be. Very pleased!
Charles J Hamill
I bought this as I am reading a lot and it hurt my arm/hand to hold my kindle for any period of time. This is PERFECT. would recommend it to anyone that reads a lot.
Nana38225
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.

Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!

I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.

""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"

This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.
Tip Stott
I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.
Vol-au-vent
Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...
GSARider "Riding the world"
this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
The item I received was just as it was described. Works great, because a tablet gets kind of heavy to hold after a few minutes.
Josie
I bought the Prop 'N Go for someone who just had surgery and couldn't sit up -- it worked great with the iPad. Since then, I have purchased for many others... the adjustable angles work really well so you can use your iPad in bed or sitting at the kitchen table. It also has very convenient "packaging" so that it fits into a back pack... great design!
VMFan
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!
TZP
The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!

Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.

great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.

I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.

Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.
Tip Stott
I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.
Vol-au-vent
Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...
GSARider "Riding the world"
this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
It is a comfortable product and works very well. Gives you all the angles you want and feels great. Very happy with it!

The IPad 3 is pretty heavy and can strain your hands and neck when using it, especially in bed. This stand perfectly places and angles your IPad for watching and reading in bed. It also improves my experience reading it while sitting on a couch or table. I definitely recommend buying this although I do think it's about $5 overpriced.
KingKhaungs
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.

Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.

I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.

I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)

This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!

I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.
Tip Stott
I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.
Vol-au-vent
Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...
GSARider "Riding the world"
this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!
James
J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable
Claire
Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
Got this over the holidays, and soon after I began using it the rubber tape that keeps the reader from shifting started to curl up, as other reviewers have stated. As soon as it started to peel, the sticky side began to attract animal hair and lint, making the top of the reader a gross mess. Once I find a decent glue I'll fix it myself, but I find this flaw disappointing. It's been kept in a room-temperature environment so it's not the fault of heat melting the adhesive. This works for what it is, and is a good price, but they really should reevaluate the rubber tape. EDIT: As soon as I made this review the company contacted me and shipped replacement rubber strips. Added a star for excellent customer service!
Zack Scott
I bought this and have been pleased with it overall. The only thing that bothered me were the strips that were peeling off. It didn't bother me enough to return it because I liked the pad. Well, I find it amazing that the seller sent me new strips with a note saying that this will stick better. The thing is, I didn't even contact the seller about it. They must have sent it out to all their customers. This goes to show that they appreciate and take care of their customers. Thank you seller!! Now my pad is 100% perfect. The new strips are awesome!
Mindy Leigh
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.
Dapmfp
Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.

This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!

I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.

This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.

I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...
GSARider "Riding the world"
this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!
James
J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable
Claire
Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
I bought this stand for my 85 yr old mother-in-law to use with her iPad and it made all the difference to her in the ease and comfort of using the device in any seated position. Takes the stress off holding it all the time and very lightweight and comfortable to have on the lap.
Mich
""Prop'n Go Lite" for i Pads had a recognized problem with a couple of adhesive backed strips that's purpose was to keep the i Pad from slipping. I contacted them after I received my "Prop'n Go Lite" and got a promise that they would send me the new strips when they became available. Lo and behold, they sent them to me as promised. GREAT COMPANY, TERRIFIC PRODUCT!"
Carl S
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)

The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.

I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.

This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!

I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.

I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...
GSARider "Riding the world"
this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!
James
J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable
Claire
Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
This lapstand makes it easy to use your Ipad without holding on to it. Works like a laptop. The bottom is a soft cushion so it is nice for the lap.
Love mine and use it all the time with the ipad now.
DH
great product. gave this as a gift to my husband and brother in law and they both use it frequently when sitting on the couch with the ipad, nice way to get comfortable. It's lightweight and easy to adjust.
Becmama
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.
Pat Sullivan
I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles

I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
I was having a problem with my Prop'n Go strips baconing. I contacted Padded Places on a Saturday over a holiday weekend. They emailed me the next day. Great customer service is a rare commodity these days. They were exemplary. They sent me replacement strips immediately. By the way, The simplicity of this product is genius. In fact, I have now purchased 4 Prop'n Go's.

I received this article a week, or so, ago. I did a search for "iPad 2 lapdesks" which narrows down your search for just "lapdesks"which includes laptop computers, tablets, etc to use in a chair or in bed. I was surprised to find only a few that were aimed at the iPad market.
My pick of the Prop 'n Go was made on it being applicable to the iPad in size and weight and adjustibility (although it can be used for other tablets, small laptops, etc.).
The bottom of the unit is soft, and the top has an articulated plastic shelf which folds at various angles to hold your iPad at the angle you choose. I find myself using it mainly on my recliner with ottoman. My lap gets a little bit warm after a while, but, this is negated by lifting the device up for a few seconds.
It seems durable. It is not overly heavy. And, most of all-it holds my iPad 2 securely and comfortably. Unlike some of the much larger and complex laptop computer desks, you can not easily use a Bluetooth keyboard with this gadget. This is not a negative in my mind because the smaller size and weight far outweigh the need for a separate keypad while lounging.
I really like this lapdesk. (BTW, I have no connection to the "M'nG Lite" company.) BobBuy
I really like this product---it seems well made, and works really well. My Kindle Touch (with case) fits well, and stays put and being able to easily adjust the angle of the Touch while reading is great. It is smaller than I thought, but the size works really well in my lap or on a flat surface.

Here's what I wrote before: "This has rubbery strips that go down each side to keep the iPad from slipping. Great idea right? It is, until the rubber strips start pulling up after only minimal use, at which point they get sticky goo all over your iPad and/or iPad case. It is nice to not have to crane your neck to view your iPad on your lap, but I'm not highly impressed with the rubbery strips."
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product.
B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.
Cyanne "English Person"
I ordered this for my mom who had a stroke last year which left her with no use of her previously dominant right hand and arm. She recently got an IPad 2 and has been using it to Face Time with me, but holding it in one hand on her lap...or laying it on a table, let's me see mostly the ceiling instead of her. Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....
Tirednurse"
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

Due to the difficulty of using the IPad with one hand, this product looks like it might work well for her, if it is as easy to use and adjust as it says it is. The reviews so far are encouraging....

The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.

I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!

Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.

Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)

This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!

I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.
Tip Stott
I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.
Vol-au-vent
Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...
GSARider "Riding the world"
this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
The company sought me out through my Amazon profile and sent me new rubberized strips for free. They work awesome. This is a great product. B. Hansen
Fantastic. The lap stand does just exactly what I wanted it to do. I read in bed a lot and it is perfect for proping up my Kindle Fire. It is very light and comfortable. The strips do tend to separate, but this is totally irrelevant. My Kindle stays perfectly in any position. I highly recommend this product.

If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.

Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone

I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.

I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.
Tip Stott
I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...
GSARider "Riding the world"
this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!
James
J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable
Claire
Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
The actual product itself is awesome. I ordered 2, one for my husband's Ipad and one for my Kindle Fire. We both love them.
Bugly
I was a little skeptical before purchasing because of the couple of bad reviews talking about the cheapness of the materials, but when I received it I was very pleased. Not only is it built solid and is attractive, it serves it's purpose perfectly. I bought the least expensive version since I already have a plush case for my iPad 2. The company even emailed me asking if there was any problem with the rubber strips on the base ( which I guess they've been acing issues with ). No problems here. I whole-heartedly recommend this. I'm even writing this on it!
J. Cassidy
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.
Thistle
Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small.

As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable
Claire
Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
Great for both the IPad and Kindle. Makes reading books so much easier and comfortable. Had checked out other similar products and decided this was the one for me. Delivery extremely fast, as per usual with Amazon.

Because of some vision issues, I can't read or see close details unless the angle is just right. I could never get the angle of my iPad correct using a pillow, so I went online and Googled until I found the Prop It Up by Padded Spaces and ordered one. The feature that makes this different from any other "pillow" device I found was that it allows the user to adjust the angle of the iPad (or eReader or netbook or real book, etc.) to 10 different positions. And it has a built-in storage compartment for the device. I'm very happy with it.
Pamela Bowen
This feels like a hand made product, not mass produced. If it was mass produced, they could bring the price down and raise the quality a little, but aside from that, WOW! This thing is amazing. Absolutly perfect for bed, laying on your side in bed watching a movie, resting it on your stomach, etc. Then when you start falling asleep at night, you can slip the iPad in the pocket and toss it on the floor by your bed. There is enough padding so that if you forgot it was on the floor and stepped on it in the morning getting out of bed, it wouldn't harm your device. Even though its expensive, its still worth it since there is no perfect alternative.
C. Decker "Team Louish"
Hi. I have 2 of these. I use one for my lap top. In addition to the ability to use it at any angle for the iPad, the storage is the best. The iPad is an odd size. This has a pocket in it for storage and all the padding is perfect, I know it isn't going to break no matter what. I think it's a great product. It's well thought out and I am happy to support a small business making useful products.
S. Lloyd
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.
Tip Stott
I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want.

Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.

I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.
Tip Stott
I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.
Vol-au-vent
Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...
GSARider "Riding the world"
this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!
James
J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable
Claire
Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
I use Prop It Up everyday in so many places. Recently I used it to prop up my laptop when I was doing laundry. It's great to use with books because the angle adjusts so many different ways. This is the only product I've seen that can prop up tablets and books while being comfortable enough to place on your lap whether you're sitting or standing. It really works!
C. Fatt "NN"
This is a fabulous product. Its perfect support for the ipad in your lap when you're surfing, gaming, reading or watching. It is a bit bulky, but you appreciate that added height when you have it in your lap - very well planned. None of the other desks for iPad seem to work this well in all locations - in the easy chair, at the table, in bed and more.
R. Baker "GBaker"
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.
P.Broadnax
This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)
Jazzyaleece
This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!
Ghughes
I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.

I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS.

It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
The iPad may indeed be svelte, but it can be a bear to hold while in bed or laid back on the sofa. This item resolves such problems, pronto. Truly a joy to use, and super comfy. I especially appreciate the string-like elastic binder which holds the selected angle in place -- nice touch! The only reason I'm holding the 5th star is because the material "appears" be of questionable longevity. Nonetheless, I'd buy this again, in a heartbeat. Went through so many pretenders to the comfort throne, so I'm glad/relieved that I FINALLY hit pay-dirt.

This is a great device. If I read for too long (looking down), it makes my neck sore. Problem solved! Also, You don't have to hold the Kindle...just relax and enjoy.
Judith Garner
I love this desk! It works perfectly with my iPad 2. I hope it becomes available again soon. I'd love to recommend it to friends.
Juliew
It's funny, I spent a long time researching CASES for my new iPad2--i wanted one that would have good angle adjustments and easy to use while i was sitting on my couch (the most frequent place that i use my iPad). Actually I could have forgone all of the case research if i had just bought the Prop 'n Go first! After buying three different cases (and returning two of them) I stumbled upon this product and decided to give it a go--it is PERFECT. Props my iPad up nicely while i am on my couch, easy chair, or in bed, AND has all the angle adjustments so i can perfect my viewing angle. I love the little zippered storage space--I keep my stylus and screen cleaning supplies in there but it also fits the actual iPad itself. It will be the perfect place to store the iPad while traveling. Yes, you still need a case to protect your iPad, but this is what I really needed in order to comfortably spend way too much time with my little iPad 2! All in all, the best accessory to my iPad I have.
Buttercup
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)

This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!

I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)
Brandi
Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.
Vol-au-vent
Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...
GSARider "Riding the world"
this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,
Joe Parker
Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road.

I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)

Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !

I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

this stand works for all my tablets,google assus,kindle ebook reader,prestigio 9.8,it works on more than is said in the advisement,

Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
I'm a couch potato and live using my iPad in bed. Prop 'n Go is the perfect iPad stand for any use around the house.
I love to lay around all day in bed and I holding my tablet or trying to lean it against pillows was lame. My hands and arms got super tired. This iPad stand let's me ajust it to the perfect angle for typing emails, growing the who or playing my favorite game (Angry Birds).
What I didn't count on was being able to also use my MacBook. That is a hot laptop! Prop 'n Go keeps my lap cool. So great.
Pros:
- Super comfy on laps and bellys with softest fabric
- Protecting iPad in the zippered pocket
- Very grippy surface so there is no slippage
- Switch between tablets, ereaders and laptops instantly
Cons:
- Not a traditional case. *Although I hate bulk most cases add to my gadgets.
5 stars Prop 'n Go! Can't wait to see Padded Spaces next products. :)

This item is wonderful for the ipad! It props up perfectly and is very lightweight! I bought for a gift but I think I will be ordering one for myself too! You will not be disappointed!!!

I'll begin by saying I read all previous reviews before purchasing a product or passing on it. If a product has a reasonable number of reviews of varying comments, that usually determines whether I buy or not. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy any other item for the use this one was designed for. It's simply perfect in every way. It is of excellent quality with very nice material used for the pillow part of the product. I purchased the item that includes a zipper pocket for carrying my Ipad which increased the price by ten dollars, but is worth every penny extra. My Ipad is nestled betweem more padding than anything else I've seen. The plastic section of the desk is simple and effective as it should be. Nothing fancy is needed. Just sturdy, adjustable slots to hold the Ipad at enough angles to match any position I'm laying in. From reading previous reviews and going to the manufacture's website I found enough information to know this product was a work in progress that went through a few previous incarnations to arrive at what it is currently. This struck me as a very good thing. Previous customers who had complaints were promptly satisfied and flaws were re-designed to improve the product rather than just leaving something less than excellent out there for the buying public. It shows the people who make this care about their customers.
Joe Hanion
This us a great item, it is easy to operate, it's very useful. My daughter has had surgery on both wrists, which makes it very difficult to hold on to things for any length of time. She is very greatful for this gift. Thank you so much for coming up with such a unique item.
Gabriella Petruzzi
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.
Sarak
I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..
Verbum-sapienti
The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!
Bwkenosha
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.
JenLyn
I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.

I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.

I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.

I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)

Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !

I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.
Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

J'en ai acheté un pour moi, et j'en ai commandé un autre pour offrir en cadeau de Noël. Bien utile, confortable

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
I got this as a gift right at Christmas. I thought it may be handy to have to prop up my kindle and iPad but I have an iPad cover that does that too so I put off playing with it. This is GENIUS. I never ever considered it at all awkward to hold my kindle or iPad in my lap. But in comparison to propping it up on my lap on this it's like the difference in comfort from getting out of a smart car for 8 hours into a private jet. Not that I'll actually have personally ever compared the two but I'm guessing on that one.
Here's why. The stand you rest your kindle or iPad on adjusts the angle so it's perfectly propped comfortably. Normally to do that one would have to prop their knees up or hold the kindle or iPad in the other hand. Not comfortable if you wish to type. Way more comfortable to stretch out my legs and cross my legs... Whatever I wish to do...
If you travel this is lovely too. No awkward lap reading or kindle holding or iPad typing. I sat in a chair at the airport watching a movie and eating. Both hands free.
I actually didn't know it had a storage pocket. It was quite the surprise find. Protected my kindle as its heavily padded. Plus it also hides it if I have it in the car. And can hide anything else like cash. Honestly I could see this beachside if I wanted to go cool off but also bring my kindle to read. Nobody is gonna snatch an unattended lap desk in a beach canopy but they sure would nab a kindle or beach bag. So I never felt comfortable cooling off in the ocean on vacation. Good hidden stash pocket.
I know it seems like a regular lap desk. I know it seems like it wouldn't make that much difference.
It actually makes so much difference I always use it now even if I'm in a cafe. It's propped up better than my regular cover that has a stand can do.
The only thing I would change is I don't know if I overlooked it when I ditched the box or if it really didn't have an instruction paper. It could be very small. I know it seems obvious but I didn't find the pocket for awhile and at first I wasn't sure which way I was supposed to rest the iPad. Then I saw the rim that holds it at the base. That's a little thing. Nothing major. But worth noting.
Very good for playing games on a device too. Hands free and comfortable.
Excellent for reading in bed with either device. Propped up while you lay down.
Chandler
Does everything I need it to do, the ipad is secure, at a great angle, the cushion is comfortable... would recommend it to anyone
Peeg67
I love this stand. It's great that it works for multiple devices. I also enjoy the internal storage compartment - you can stick the device inside, headphones, anything you might need to take with you. Having everything in one place and having such a nice way to use my devices is just what I need.

I looked for months for a stand that could hold my iPad up to use at a desk but I also wanted something that would work while I'm laying in bed or sitting on the couch. This was the only thing I could find. Personally I think $50 is a bit expensive, but I guess most stands are. Anyways it is worth it. There is really nothing else out there this versatile, you could use it for any phone, tablet, ereader, and maybe even a book. I'm very pleased with it's functionality, and also how many different angles there are.
Jen
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..

The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.
M. Holmes
I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!

I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.

My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
I have one question how do you keep the I-pad from skidding on the stand am I doing something wrong. Just watched the video found out I had it on the stand backwards. So happy I love the stand.
Eileen
This is an AWESOME stand. Totally adjustable from flat to upright. I find that I'm using several different settings depending on where and how I'm sitting. It was totally easy to take out and throw the iPad on. No assembly or anything. And the iPad doesn't have to attach to it in anyway so u can just lift it off whenever you want. Yet it's totally secure and sturdy on there. This is the only stand I've tried but no reason to look elsewhere. Awesome product!
Nathan B. Bowles
Great product we have two of them and really think they are wonderful. I highly recommended this item to anyone who has an iPad..

The review for the product is simple. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It arrived with the same adhesive problems that others had described, but otherwise it was a terrific product that my wife loved.
This is where the review changes - I did not have to write the company to tell them about the adhesive issue. Ben Palmer, the CEO of Padded Spaces, wrote to me on Dec 29th. Got that? The CEO wrote me to tell me that the issue was known, being actively corrected and that they would send me the adhesive as soon as it was worked out. I responded and thanked him for the email, not entirely expecting to hear anything and planning on sending a request for an update in a few weeks. It was never required. They sent the new strips within a week or two. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story doesn't end there. I have a 2-year-old daughter who likes to remove the plastic stand from the pillow. No more than a week after I got the adhesive strips, she removed the stand and hid it somewhere that I still haven't found. I suspect that it got thrown into the trash during her trash-can-phase. I wrote to the company, through their web site, to inquire if I could order the stand as a part or if it was only available as a single unit. Within a few hours, I got a response from the company (Cathy) telling me they were sending the part at no charge.
This is a level of customer service that I had thought long extinct and am thankful that an old-school company, like Padded Spaces still exists.

I purchased this product after extensive research. This is the most versatile product in its ability to adjust to almost any angle that you would need. It holds the iPad securely, and the padded portion that rests on you lap or chest is lightweight and comfortable. (I had recent hip surgery and this product has been a life saver.). Customer support is prompt and efficient.
Mary J. Lane "FresnoMJ"
This is a wonderful product. It is very well made. The cushioning is thick and the material seems very durable. As soon as I received the product they emailed me to thank me and tell me I may have some issues with the adhesive on the rubber strips (which I had read about in other reviews). If I did have problems contact them immediately and they would send new strips, so far no lifting. I will be ordering another one for my mom. Great product!

I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.
John GM Ziel
I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.

I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.
A. Rosenbach
I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)

Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !
B. Hand
I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.

Mr. Robert Smith
My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

Best thing on the market to support your iPad comfortably. Ross P.
super impressed - at last a stand to use comfortably with a tablet when it's NOT on a hard surface!!!!!!! Robert S.
Excellent product for my Samsung slate PC when sitting with my feet up. Fully adjustable angle for viewing. Very neat cushion Grannie G.
My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
I got mine for Christmas and use it almost every day with my ipad. I really like the fact that you can view your device on so many different angles.
Audrey T. Williams
This is great stand. I use it while iPad is wired to HDMI on the TV to show pictures, etc. The viewers' eyes stay on the TV and not me or the iPad (which they can't see because of the angle). I use it for many other things, as well. Recommend highly for versatility and quality.

I received this product last week and was pleasantly surprised. I have a lot of neck pain so I needed a stand that provided the right amount of height and tilt. This is perfect. I can sit in the recliner for hours using my I Pad without being uncomfortable or in pain. The quality is good and the size perfect. It holds my I Pad with the case on with no sliding. It can make me feel hot after a while. A more breathable fabric would be better. But I can live with that.

I use another amazon product for viewing my ipad on a table top. This one is bulkier. I bought it to watch the ipad in bed but it's difficult to use for this purpose. The reason is that the ipad can only be at an angle less than 90 degrees or it falls forward. My goal was to lie in bed and face the ipad but since the angle is limited, I need to prop up on three or four pillows for the angles to be optimal.
The product is very well made and might be perfect for other uses--but not for the bed, unless you don't mind propping up on a bunch of pillows.

I purchased an iPad about a month ago and instantly fell in love with it! I found myself spending lots of time with it on my lap propped on a throw pillow trying to play games and read books and it was just awkward so I decided I needed some sort of stand. I did very thorough research for an iPad stand before making a purchase. (It seems many people have purchased several different stands because they end up being poor quality, not what they thought it was and or it breaks. I literally read hundreds of reviews about dozens of stands and decided on this one because of the great reviews. It may seem pricey but it is well made and works perfectly. I love that I can prop my iPad horizontally or vertically. The iPad does not lock into place (I don't jump up from sitting position without holding in anyway) but after reading reviews for ones that did, I determined that those seem poorly made and the locking mechanisms were breaking. Since it doesn't have clips it is more versatile for other e-readers. My son has a kindle and I borrow that to take advantage of Prime's free monthly books.
If you are looking for a way to prop your iPad (or kindle/nook/etc) on your lap while being a couch potato or lounging in bed this is perfect for that! You can adjust to the perfect angle and relax without getting cramps in your hands while holding it! (My husband is jealous and wants one too so I will be ordering a second one soon!) I'm actually thinking these would make excellent gift ideas for my extended family. (Now I'm off to mark the reviews about this as helpful!)

Great Product... It works really good and I really like it. It does exactly what its designed to do... I would recommend this .....! The company is Great to deal with.. !

I think it is awesome!! I use it constantly as a lap desk. Although I don't travel a lot, when I do, I feel comfortable knowing that my IPad 2 is very well protected!! Not to mention the ease of use on the go. I have a small tote that I carry it in when I do take it somewhere. I mostly use it at home, but this combination makes me feel secure in knowing that the IPad is protected and equally easy to use.
I ordered the cover below as well, which I was very pleased with because it is firm enough to protect, but is not that flimsy gel type material. It has a slick feel, but also a good grip feel about it. April Freeman Hood
Small, moble, and comfortable in front of the tv or in the bed.

I find my new iPad uncomfortable to hold and was looking for a flexible stand to use on a table, on my lap and when propped up in bed (sad, I know). After extensive searching on the Internet I found the Prop'n Go in the USA. Of all the stands I found, this was the only one that appealed to me. I looked on Amazon UK and to my surprise, there it was. Thank you Prop'n Go for setting up shop in the UK.
As I write this review, I am sitting with my iPad on my lap. It is brilliant. I've used it on my lap and in bed so far and it does exactly what I want. I can see me using my iPad four times more than usual as it is now so convenient to use. As there has been no UK review so far, the least I can do is show my appreciation to Prop'n Go by sharing my thoughts. It arrived quickly and first impressions are of great build quality, clever design and optimal size. My only concern when ordering without seeing one had been if the base was too large. It is not. It rests perfectly on my lap, spanning my legs. the flexible tilt allows perfect viewing. The cushion base has a nice grip to it. In short, it is just what I wanted. There are several models shown on the USA web site. The one sold in the UK is the rightmost but one. I.e. it comes with zipped inner compartment to store your iPad, if you wish, but no carrying straps. I would not use those anyway. I thoroughly recommend this product. The price conversion v.s the USA dollar is also reasonable, given our tax and free shipping.

Have been using the prop n' go now for a couple of weeks and I bought it mainly for using in bed as I found my arms getting sore when trying to read a book for a long period. It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

It works well enough, although I wish that it could be angled forward a bit more - I use it resting on my chest whilst lying down. Overall, it's the best solution I've found so far...

Watching, typing or reading in bed on your tablet, netty or lappy then thus is the one you've been waiting for.
The product description suggests it comes with a case. It doesn't and isn't meant to.
I've bought a number of products and this is the first easy to use solution that I have cone across that actually works for a tablet when not on a flat surface. At last.

My wife and I are both very heavy users of iPads and laptops. We were seeking a light weight and portable option to use our devices while sitting, laying down or while travelling. After much searching we came across this amazingly clever Prop N GO product. It's is an ingenious design from a company called Padded Spaces, that is light weight, very adjustable and constructed extremely well. It even has a pocket design to store our iPads right inside the pad. It also has a version with a built in carrying pack and a smaller version for use on the road. Even the kids like to use it in the car when we travel.
This product is an absolute 'must have' for any iPad and laptop user who wants comfort, convenience, and a effective way to use their device while either sitting or laying down. As they are based in the USA and we are in Canada, it was also super easy to order and it arrived exactly when we were told. Way to Go Prop N Go !!!!

My wife is now very confortable doing what she likes to do most, play her games on the IPAD while watching TV on our bed. The Prop'n Go-Hyrid for Ipad makes it easy for her to keep both hands free while having the IPAD in the best reading position. Other products are out there but this one is the best and most poratable for use on a bed or sofa. Ken D.
I use this far more than I thought I would. Works terrifically with both my ipad and my laptop. Very happy with it. Jeanine
Love - just had surgery and this has helped hold my ipad and keep me entertained while I relax. My mom wants one too. M D A Norsworthy
I can say honestly that I love the thing and wouldn't be caught in bed without it! -Edmouse
Versatile & light weight. The choice of many viewing angles is exactly as marketed. Highly recommended. -Marilyn
