Make an iPad stand from the packing materials in its box

If you are one of the many iPad buyers who are looking for new gadgets and accessories for you device, you don’t always have to buy them. Some of the accessories that you want can be made yourself for free.

Make has a cool idea for an iPad stand and the instructions that you need to make it. All you need is the packing material that came in the iPad box. You take the package insert that held the iPad in the box, the one with the big slit.

You cut it in half, and then cut another slit across it to hold the iPad. The thing even lets you access the home button and will work in portrait or landscape modes. Cheap, easy, and green is hard to beat.
