Griffin laptop stand

The iCurve is one of those things that walks the line between "deceptively simple" and "overpriced piece of plastic".

It's an uncomplicated concept - a piece of plastic you can stand a laptop on when you're using an external keyboard and mouse. The laptop then runs cooler, its screen is raised to a more useful altitude for normal desktop use, and it has a space under it in which you can park the keyboard when you're not using it.

That's about it for the iCurve, really. I think it sold quite well, despite listing for $US39.99. I certainly didn't notice iCurves ever being dumped at a discount.

Part of the iCurve's popularity came, no doubt, from the fact that it was a nifty looking swoopy piece of clear moulded acrylic. It really did almost fade away under your laptop, and it still looked kind of sculptural when it was sitting there empty.
