Padfoot - stand for iPad 1

This version of PadFoot is compatible with iPad 1. For PadFoot for iPad Air and iPad mini, go here. For PadFoot for iPad 2/3/4, go here.

PadFoot is a viewing stand for iPad, designed to match the iPad's simplicity and elegance.  Great for watching slideshows, clips and movies, as well as for (retail) displays and presentations. PadFoot gives your iPad about 11 degrees backward tilt and can be used in both portrait and landscape mode.

Strong as it is, PadFoot adds less than 15 (!) grams of weight to your bag.

PadFoot is manufactured in tough but lightweight, 3d printed polyamide with a fine surface texture. Check the materials section of this website for more information. Colors are seasonal; current availability is shown at the bottom of this page - this may be different from the colors shown in the images above. Each product ordered is individually manufactured, just for you. If you are new to the Shapeways site: to order, you'll be asked to create an account (it's easy; you can even log in with Facebook or Twitter).

Always make sure you use PadFoot on a stable and horizontal surface, and that your iPad is placed all the way into the opening in PadFoot; resting the iPad on one of its two edges without buttons. Product ships in basic Shapeways packaging.

“ Simple yet adorable: The PadFoot iPad stand. At first, I thought the iPad’s inherent lack of stand was a flaw... Now I’m kind of happy that the tablet didn’t come with one. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have cute little items like this...”

“... the Padfoot, a minuscule, efficient iPad stand that is beautiful in its simplicity.”
