Hello all,

I tried the above idea.. brilliant and cost effective. I use the Fantastik to hold my wife’s MBP while she’s not using it. Gives us more table real estate.

On another note – here’s something else I tried.
I have a Mac mini (the new one without CD slot) and wanted to put it under my Sony LCD. When searching for the Fantastik I found my solution: “Enudden” – A white polished mini shelf of sorts. If you flip it upside down it’s perfect to put the mac mini under it and an LCD on top.

give it a shot

Thank you for the Ikea napkin-holder idea!

I just picked up the 27-inch LED Cinema Display and I didn’t want my Macbook Air cluttering up my desk space. The look of the holder is ridiculously clean, and the thing works perfectly for the simple job I needed: holding my Air without being a clunky-ass mess on my desk. The BookArc now seems like a waste of material to me; I’m sticking with the napkin holder.

Freakin’ Ikea, makes the perfect stand for my $2000 computer, and they’re marketing it as a napkin holder at $1.99.

Thanks again for the rec, Paul!

“This might be the first time “super cheap” has ever been used to describe something from Ikea…”

So probably $1,99 is still a lot (so much)

Oh wait, duh… Nevermind It’s not the center piece you’re worried about, but about the connection between the vertical and the horizontal pieces.

What glue joint? If I see things correctly it’s simply two parts that snap together, no glue involved at all.

Too bad that IKEA has so few stores in the US that “local” is a relative concept.

I would be concerned about the glue joint at the bottom of the “stand”. I’m not sure if I would trust my MBP to a cheap piece of plastic, but I admit it is enticing. Just beware…

This is fantastik! I can think of lots more uses for it. Off the top of the head:

- a place to stash iPad and MacBook cases that lie around
- a way to stand up otherwise too-wobbly external hard drives
- a better napkin holder than the one you’re using now

We’ve all got things lying around that would take up less space or retain less heat in a vertical orientation. The key to this is that, being a huge clip, it closes to fit the thing being held.

You’re consistently missing an S in “fantastisk”.
