As I’ve admitted here before, I’m a big lover of iPad stands. I have a favorite portable iPad stand (the Compass Mobile Stand from Twelve South) and a few favorites for use on my desk – including the Just Mobile UpStand)
The first time I saw the Just Mobile Encore iPad Stand, I knew it was one that I definitely wanted to try out. I thought it looked elegant and promising – and happily it has turned out to be both, in spades.
Notes
Here’s a bit of description and features detail from Just Mobile’s page for the stand:
Designed by the award-winning team at tools®, the Encore™ features a solid aluminum base ring and hinged arm. Adjust the arm to choose the perfect viewing angle for videos, or fold it down for rock-solid typing support.
- Iconic design by tools
- High-quality aluminum construction
- Foldable for portability
- Compatible with most tablet computers
- Solid support for typing
This is the lowest standing desk stand I’ve used for the iPad, and quite lightweight as well.
It’s priced at $59.95.

Twelve South’s excellent Compass Mobile Stand for iPad / iPad 2 now comes in three colors, complete with snazzy color names as well – iPad Silver, Tactical Black, and Candy Apple Red.
The Compass Mobile Stand for iPad is easily the most versatile stand for the iPad that I’ve seen. It’s a folding easel type stand that is amazingly compact and very comfortably portable. It folds down to a very easily pocket-able size and folds out just as easily into two different configurations – one ideally suited for ‘viewing mode’ and one that is just perfect for typing mode.

As I’ve admitted here before, I am a huge fan of iPad stands. I have a couple of favorites for the desktop (the iPad Stabile stand and the Just Mobile UpStand for iPad) and one favorite for when I’m out and about with the iPad (the Compass Mobile stand).
Just Mobile’s new Encore Stand for iPad looks quite good to me; not least because it is a desktop stand that is also quite portable. It’s got an aluminum base, and an adjustable rubberized hinged arm that can be pushed all the way down for carrying.
It’s a nice looking stand and I like that the arm is meant to be very easy to adjust between ideal angles for viewing and typing.
I’ll be looking to get hold of one of these soon for review.
I spotted this stand via an article at iPad in Canada.
I’m a big fan of iPad stands. I use the iPad continuously throughout my work day, so having it close at hand in a good stand is very useful for me. The Stabile iPad Stand from Thoughtout is four pounds worth of ever-so-solid iPad stand – so I was interested as soon as I saw my friend Larry Greenberg’s review of it, and ordered one right away.
I got mine early this week and it has been a fixture on my desktop ever since I unpacked it – and of course I’ve got some thoughts to share on it. Hit the break for those and some shots of the four-pound beast in action …

OK, as I’ve admitted here before, I like iPad stands. Like them a lot, possibly a tad more than you should. I have three favorite iPad stands already – and seeing this one reviewed by my friend Larry Greenberg’s RunaroundTech site makes me feel like I could soon have four.
It’s four pounds of steel. Stable, solid steel too apparently – and that’s my favorite kind when it comes to iPad stands.
Kidding aside, I really like having a good, solid iPad stand on my desk, and I love how this one is generously proportioned enough to allow for using just about any case with it. Here’s the list of key features for it:
- Solid American steel, nearly 4 lbs.
- Anti-tip low and user focused center of gravity
- Artistic shape and design without or with a case or skin
- Proven 55° viewing angle in portrait or landscape
- Spilt back™ cable management
- Finish
- Silver – Matching Apple keyboard
- White – Low texture
- Black – Low texture
- 4 holding pad locations (Santoprene 3M) available as spare part
- 4 stabilization non-skid black feet (Polyurethane 3M) available as spare part
- iPad 2, iPad Original
These are made in the USA, in the state I grew up in (Connecticut) by a company called Thoughtout. I’ve requested a review unit. If you want to see more details or place an order (they go for $49.99) see the Thoughtout page for them here: http://www.thoughtout.biz/products/Stabile.html
