Griffin Technology iCurve Laptop Stand Reviews
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good for your back :)
Comment: When I made the switch to macbook pro from my PC, i got frustrated with having to look down to type. My neck and back were constantly in pain, leaving me with frequent trips to the chiropractor. I got the iCurve and things became much better - no more slouching in front of my macbook!
I chose to get the iCurve over the elevator because of the difference in height. The iCurve is 4 and a half inches, whereas the elevator is five and a half. I suggest you take measurements before you make a purchase so that you can get one that works for you.
All in all this product is great and does exactly what it is supposed to do. 5 stars

Summary: Perfect and essential accessory
Comment: If you use a laptop at home for more than a half hour a day, then what are you doing not putting it on this perfect stand and plugging in a mouse and keyboard? Save your neck and wrists, and free up some desk space. Oh yeah, and keep the notebook ventilated!

Summary: Why is my laptop slipping off?
Comment: Yes, it looks great and saves space. But why am I the only person who has their laptop slip off at least once a day? I've got the 17" MacBook Pro and use the no-slip pads. But I struggle with it every day. I've even tried putting it upside down!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Easier on my neck!
Comment: I originally bought this product to protect my wooden desk from the heat of my laptop (for those of you looking for something to serve that purpose, I would suggest a "chill pad"), but eventually brought it to work instead! I also use a laptop at work, and found my neck to be sore at the end of the day from being hunched over to look at the screen. With the laptop stand, it's now perfectly elevated to my eye level - and no more neck pain! The only one downfall is that you'll have to attach a separate keyboard - the stand jiggles if you try to type on the actual laptop, which personally makes me dizzy when I'm looking at a moving screen! Once you've attached a peripheral keyboard, you should be set to go.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Adds some space to desk
Comment: This laptop stand serves 3 main purposes:
1. add some space to physical desk
2. increase air flow below laptop (macbook white)
3. increase screen height for more direct viewing angle
The stand meets expectations for all purposes except for the first, which it only partially meets in my mind. The base needs to be slightly thinner and less curved so that a keyboard can be more easily placed under the stand.

Editorial Review for Griffin Technology iCurve Laptop Stand:
Today, you can replace your desktop Mac easily with a PowerBook or iBook. While the power and flexibility are great, there are some definite ergonomic issues associated with using a PowerBook or iBook full time in a desktop situation. The iCurve is a laptop stand designed specifically for the PowerBook and iBook. Its main purpose is to better position the iBook or PowerBook in your permanent desktop environment. The iCurve conforms to health and safety standards, making your laptop safer and more comfortable to use all day. The iCurve is specifically designed to position the top edge of the Apple PowerBook G4 at 16" high. This is exactly the same height as Apple's 17" LCD monitor. It's also about the same height of Apple's 22" Cinema Display. This makes iCurve perfect for tiling the PowerBook with Apple's LCD monitors. With Apple's 23" HD Cinema Display - that's almost 3.4 million pixels of side-by-side screen real estate! iCurve elevates your iBook off your desk - freeing up significant desk space for a full size keyboard and mouse. Although you "can" type directly on your iBook while it's placed on the iCurve, the addition of a full size Apple keyboard and mouse makes for the most comfortable long-term desktop experience.
