Griffin iCurve 2 on its way?

Looks like griffin did come out with the icurve 2, but now they are calling it the elevator.

I've been using an iCurve with a Powerbook G4 1.67ghz since July 2005, and have had absolutely no slips, and of course no drops/falls. I slide the iCurve with the Powerbook on it around on my desk a lot depending on what I'm working on. No slips.

I too leave a good half inch of the front prongs exposed, meaning the Powerbook is not all the way forward on the thing. Every 6 months or more if I remember I do wipe the pads on the iCurve down.

I live in Tokyo and had to pay the equivalent of $70 USD for mine (Â¥8,000), nearly double the price in the U.S. I know it's crazy to pay that much for a piece of plastic, but even at that price it's worth it, IF having a harmonious looking desktop is important to you. My Powerbook on the iCurve is truly a thing of beauty. It soothes my eyes to behold it.

The iCurve looks really nice, but as mentioned previously, does have a tendency to drop laptops off it. Made a disaster of my 17" powerbook. The iCurve is in the basement now. I wouldn't even sell it on eBay, for fear it would do more damage.

Or you could save your money and build your own laptop stand.
Here is a keyboard garage style stand,

And this one is a vertical/cable management stand.

I have been wanting an iCurve for a while. Something to give me more desk space. I like the iCurve over the other stands because it fits with the Mac style. Although, I have to say, I like the iCurve 1 better.

How would you guys compare the iCurve to the 3M Ergonomic Notebook Riser LX500?

also roberto's "literally" was reffering to today as opposed to the buying part. he was actually going to buy it TODAY as opposed to figuratively buying one today- which would mean in the near future

i got your back, bro

i love posts like this- this blog kicks ass

My iCurve has been fine with 12 and 15in Powerbooks (Alu and Ti respectively) and now a 17in MacBook Pro. The big thing for me to remember is to ALWAYS leave a little less than an inch to the edge of the stand. Works like a charm without slipping.

#1 -- you were "literally" going to buy one? How does one "figuratively" buy something?

You *acutally* have me confused.
