Review: Zand, the stand that makes using the iPad at a desk comfortable

<div class="feat-image"></div>
<p>The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018G5LKP4/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B018G5LKP4&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=9to5mac0df-20&amp;linkId=S355NCAB65TRBVTM" target="_blank">Zand[/url] is a desktop stand designed to be used with the iPad. It is constructed out of brushed aluminum. To use the stand, there’s no adhesives, clamps or hooks used to make the device stick to it. Instead it uses nanoparticle adsorption to keep the iPad in place.</p>

<p>The base of the stand lifts the iPad a couple of inches<strong> </strong>off of the desk, so that it sits slightly higher at eye level, which makes it easy to see. The base mimics the look and feel<strong> </strong>(texture wise, obviously it’s a lot lighter at 8.5 oz) of the base of the iMac.</p>

<p>Just like the base of the iMac, there’s a hole on the back for the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=as_li_qf_sp_sr_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;index=aps&amp;keywords=lightning%20cable&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;tag=9to5mac0df-20&amp;linkId=OCBXAZV44M4CKKDI" target="_blank">Lightning cable[/url]. Most of the time, I used the Zand in the upright mode so I was able to use <a href="https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/app/duet-display/id935754064?mt=8&amp;at=10l3VB" target="_blank">Duet Display[/url] (review <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2015/01/16/use-ipad-as-mac-monitor/" target="_blank">here[/url]) on my iPad mini and MacBook Air.</p>

<p>While using the iPad on the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018G5LKP4/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B018G5LKP4&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=9to5mac0df-20&amp;linkId=S355NCAB65TRBVTM" target="_blank">Zand[/url], at first I was skeptical about how well the iPad would stay on.</p>
