Very nice !
A couple of thoughts:

* buy a cheap silicon skin to protect the back and edges of the plastic body: this would require you to increase the size of your alloy brackets, but the rubbery grip would make the Tab much more secure in the stand cradle.

* get rid of this awful useless screen protector (Gorilla glass is tough enough, and the silicon skin would prevent the alloy brackets to touch the display anyway)

Keep up the good work, and let us know about your incremental improvements / design revisions !

A regular folding pictureframe holder for the desk does a fine job - I had one lying around the house

I got one of these at office max. Works both landscape and portrait.

And the picture frame easel mentioned above works well for travel.


But what you made has some sweet style.

I really like this stand. I have one of those leather cases with a built-in stand, but id like something like this as well. Or a more portable, possibly folding version of the mesh card holder. Looks great so far though!
