Flickr Find: Griffin Elevator

I saw the Griffin 'Elevator' at a CompUSA store (in the Milwaukee area) a few weeks ago.

Macsnacker,
I had that problem too. But easily fixed, as you said. Just bend the metal up a little bit.

I really like mine... only prob was I had to bend those top prongs up a bit to stop my MBP gradually skidding off. (The MBP and rubber pads were thoroughly cleaned). I just put it down to the 35 degrees Celsius summer we're having, and that warm rubber pads don't grip.

I thought the plastic across the front looks AWFUL. I actually ended up re-gifting mine. Back to the iCurve for me.

At first I was disappointed with the construction of the Elevator. It felt more flimsy due to it's three piece structure. However, now I definitely see the bonus of being able to transport it FAR more easily. It's a great investment.

I love mine...I put in my backpack and take it back and forth to work with me daily. Looks great too.

Why can't Apple make a dock similar to Thinkpad's so the ugly cords can go away?

I think it is hidious compared to the iCurve; I too don't like the plastic in the front, it should have been all alu or all plastic only. However, it's cool that it is portable but really, how often do you need to bring such an item...

I like my iCurve better.

I really wish that all of this stand was metal... I hate that bit of clear plastic at the front :(

You can accomplish the same thing with about 7 books stacked up. That's how I do it. Wireless Apple Keyboard, mouse.

Anyway, it's very important to use correct posture when using a laptop on a desk. I experienced moderate neck & upper back pain without the books, so if you don't care about money, this thing looks good, allows for space below for more desk real estate. I'd buy it.

Just fyi.
