The Lazy Couch stand from Just Mobile is simple, but the design is quite great for such a product. Both the packaging and the stands themselves are very Apple-esque, which is what Just Mobile was going for, I believe. Better yet, they match my unibody MacBook Pro perfectly. The sides have the same look and feel as the aluminum on my MacBook Pro, and the top has the same rubbery feel as the bumps on the bottom of my machine.

I like the BookArc; let’s start with that. This device from Twelve South is a simple but solid heavy gauge steel arc in which your MacBook, MacBook Pro or MacBook Air can rest in its closed position. Why would you need that? You wouldn’t be asking if you use an external monitor and keyboard with your MacBook. Small is good when you’re considering portability. But when doing work at your desk, it’s better for your eyes and your posture to hook your laptop up to a larger monitor.
