Guest tdroza Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 I just noticed this product on firebox.com... http://www.firebox.com/product/3253/iPad-Duo-Travel-Stand It's and "iPad stand" (because that's the only tablet device that exists, obviously :D) but would work just fine with the Vega. I have a couple of very similar (but smaller) stands for my phone which I picked up for about £3 from the Orange store when they were on sale. Because they're so compact, I found them handy when travelling to prop up my phone on a bedside table, or train table etc. £15 seems quite pricey considering how simple it is, but then Firebox aren't always the cheapest so it may well be possible to find it cheaper elsewhere.

Guest sjt.a3b Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 not sure how good this would be with the vegas viewing angle, but if anyone gets one, let us know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest trevor432990 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 I bought one of these to take the Vega in the car but now use it as sturdy everyday stand at home and at less than £10 it's proved good value. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sanddancer75 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) £15!? You could buy an official case for £5 more (with the code) & that works great as a stand along with the added bonus of it being a, er, case?

Guest tdroza Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 i bought one of these ......works gr8......well made and very flexible http://bit.ly/dYcd9V I have one of those too, and I'm pretty impressed with it. Very sturdy. I use it in the kitchen quite regularly. Not quite as portable as the Firebox one due to it's weight and size, but I'd agree that it's better value (unless anyone can find the Firebox one cheaper elsewhere).

Guest Sanddancer75 Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 What code? I don't know if it's still valid, I managed to completely miss it when I ordered mine, but ADVENT10 would give you £10 off the official case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mrlomax1978 Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Thanks for the code Sanddancer75, definitely still valid, just ordered one from Currys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tomolewis Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Apart from the official case isn't that well made IMO, I'm only a light user and mine became loose and the leather effect started peeling from the hinge part. Just got an email confirming my refund of £19.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sanddancer75 Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Thanks for the code Sanddancer75, definitely still valid, just ordered one from Currys No problem, I'm glad I could help. Apart from the official case isn't that well made IMO, I'm only a light user and mine became loose and the leather effect started peeling from the hinge part. Both me & my lass have had no trouble with our cases. We got them around the middle of December as far as I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest evorgevol Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I've just bought one of these, will post a reply of what it's like when it arrives. It looks similar to others that have been mentioned extensively in the threads, but looks a little thinner (and lighter) which is quite important to me. That, and it looks sexy as hell! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dawso_s Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 I got mine from the local market and I hate to say it but it was only 20p, so I'm not going to complain about overspending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andi Keane Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Universal-Foldable...id=TQMUMIIFWS8A £9 for one of these and its folding and extending for portrait viewing i like mine :D Edited March 31, 2011 by Andi Keane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest carl rose Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I bought one of these to take the Vega in the car but now use it as sturdy everyday stand at home and at less than £10 it's proved good value. :D I got one of these and let me tell ya I wouldn't swap it for anything. Used it once in the car but with the vibrations and the weight of the vega is too bouncy. Now, at home and as a stand articulated and actually gripping the vega on 4 points there is nothing better out there to either have it on the bedside cabinet or in the kitchen attched to the tiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shadycat Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I still use the old blank CD spindle, works fine! I might go as far as the 20p one though, that's worthy of investment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gstonian Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Hey, Any chance of a photo of the official case being used as a stand ? PCWorld/Currys photos are all a bit lame Presume the case works round all the buttons etc but just wanted to check how good it is as a stand CHeers :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCWorld/Currys photos are all a bit lame Presume the case works round all the buttons etc but just wanted to check how good it is as a stand CHeers :D Here you go... Vega slides into the side of the case (& back out if you're not careful), leaving buttons & flap unobstructed. Buttons on the top still accessible (I need to turn my calendar over) Underside showing the little strap in use. Press-studded strap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gstonian Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Perfect thanks !!! The strap was the missing key :D ordered now using the discount as well - thanks for the photos and great advice ! G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DublinGuy Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Perfect thanks !!! The strap was the missing key :D ordered now using the discount as well - thanks for the photos and great advice ! G. +1! Can't believe I didn't spot that is how it works B) I had been using the case strap when using it as a stand, much less stable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sanddancer75 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 +1! Can't believe I didn't spot that is how it works :D I had been using the case strap when using it as a stand, much less stable! Me too to begin with. I even complained about the thing on here until someone mentioned about the little strap thing. Typical! All the Vega documentation is terrible.
