    Unconventional and Funtional

    • Written by from Port Royal

    I have to admit that this was a very cool laptop stand that offers quite a bit of versatility with how you use your laptop in various locations of your home. I wasn't sure what to expect since I never considered a stand that has built in cushions for arm and lap comfort. However, when I first used the stand while sitting on my chair, I was very impressed with how comfortable it was. Plus the stand comes with very little adhesive stoppers that help keep the laptop on the stand (which was a nice touch). I also like how the stand feels and looks on my desk. The front cushion is nice to rest your wrists on while you type. The main purpose for getting the stand was for better air circulation, which this accomplishes perfectly. The only reason I deducted a star was because of the cost. I thought it was a little high (maybe $10 less would make more sense). However, it is a great product and delivered on everything it promised.

    Simplicity. Perfection. Almost.

    • Written by from Newark

    Ok. To be honest, I really didn't like this product at first. I didn't like the cushion (for no reason, lol), I didn't like the fact that the little stick- on rubber grips didn't come pre- installed, and I thought the product was completely over priced for what it gave.

    Now, my stance after about 3 days is completely different. Rain design has really found a way to do what all the other heavy, also over priced stands do. Yet they have done it with a few pieces of lightweight aluminum and a few cushions. This is what really makes this comfortable. On the desk, it raises my computer to the perfect height (without the forward cushion). On the lap is where it gets really comfortable. Its so comfortable with the front cushion on. Thats what really changed my mind. Then, I really noticed how much of a difference it makes when it comes to the heat. It never overheats anymore. EVER. And trust me, my computer is professional when it comes overheating. This product is THE stand. Its perfect. Almost.

    The only complaint I have is the price. Who wants to pay $40.00 for a piece of aluminum and a few cushions? I mean I just don't get the part that makes this so pricey. But whatever. Everyday this stand is paying for itself. Its worth the price.

    Thanks for taking your time out to read this :D

    Hope it helps.

    Great product

    • Written by from SAINT PAUL

    After reading reviews of the iLap I went out and bought one... and I couldn't be happier. The cushion provides a nice place for my arms to rest, and the iLap keeps my aluminum MacBook nice and cool. I gave the product four stars because $50 is a lot of money to pay... but it was worth it to me.

    Save the children...

    • Written by from OLD BRIDGE

    ...your future children. This was just what I needed to save my nether regions from the burns which would otherwise be courtesy of my MacBook.

    The only reason I gave it 4 stars was for the price. I mean, how much does it really cost to manufacture a sheet of aluminum and 2 velvety pads?!

    I'm glad i purchased the iLap. It's great for when you wanna surf the internets while watching your favorite TV shows or Apple TV.

    Good Product

    • Written by from Myrtle Beach

    I do love using this product and have used it everyday since I bought it, however, after having it for about 3 months the foam pad on the front keeps falling off. This drives me crazy! I love the fact that it tilts so you can use it laying down or sitting up. The only negative so far is the foam padding in the front, if it would stay on it would be wonderful!

    Fabulous! No velcro now!

    • Written by from Aldridge

    My parents bought me this as they couldn't get hold of another stand, and I have to say, I am really impressed!
    I was concerned when they told me they had purchased this as one review read that replacing the cushion was difficult due to the velcro, that has now gone and instead the cushion slides on and off - but still had amazing grip.
    Only thing I have to say is that was I buying this in the UK at £49.95 (approx $98), well I wouldn't buy it - if it was a third of the price then I would consider it, but as my parents bought this in the US back to the UK I only paid £25 ($49.95).

    Style, shape, weight, sturdiness, and design is top of the class.

    A MUST HAVE FOR MACBOOK OWNERS

    • Written by from Studio City

    Price is a little steep, but it is worth the money. Whether you use your computer on a desk, couch, or if you're reading in bed - this makes using your MacBook a lot more enjoyable. Now I don't feel as cramped up after I've been typing or browsing. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the cushioning in front should adjust more easily, and the rotating level in the back does nothing.

    Pretty Good

    • Written by from Detroit

    Using the iLap is great, on a desk or on your lap. However, the material seems flimsy for a $50 product.
