Squishy and versatile: MoKo Tablet Pillow Stand
Staff FavoriteNow here's something a little different. The Moko Pillow Stand is a soft, squishy pillow-like stand that allows you to stand your iPad up anywhere. Because of its shape and weight, this stand will work well on uneven surfaces like your bed or lap, and it has handy little pockets for you to tuck away earpods and accessories.

A woody choice: Yohann Stand
Designed for any 9.7-, 10.5-, or 11-inch iPad, the Yohann Stand is made of hand-selected oak and created through precision milling and extensive manual work. Growth rings make each piece unique. There's also a walnut model.

For the budget minded: AboveTEK Sleek Magnetic Tablet Stand
You don't need to spend a lot of money for an excellent tablet stand. Designed for both tablets and phones, the AboveTEK Sleek offers a swivel ball head so you can use your device in portrait and landscape mode. For added security, it features a sturdy and heavy-duty metal base.

For the keyboard user: Canopy Stand
The Canopy from Studio Neat isn't primarily a stand at all, but rather a keyboard carrying case. It features micro-suction pads for holding an Apple Magic Keyboard (or another Bluetooth keyboard of your choice) in place. You merely unsnap, unfurl, snap and drop in your iPad, and you've got a mobile desktop that'll quickly turn heads.
Take a stand
Finding the perfect stand for your iPad doesn't have to be a complicated process. For me, the MoKo Pillow Stand was a natural choice because it works just as well on my lap or bed as it does on the kitchen counter. It also has a fun look, with bright color choices and that fluffy, pillowy shape.
Your choice will depend on how you plan to use the stand, of course. If you're drawing with an Apple Pencil, for example, you'll want just the right angle for comfortable doodling. Regardless of how you use it, whether you're looking for something traditional or more unique, there's a stand for you on this list.
