Anyone use an iLap (or other stand) with their Air?

How do ya'll "hold" your Airs when you're on the couch, etc?

My last few years of Apple notebooks have all been 15"ers (PowerBooks/MBPs) and I've always used a 15" iLap vs. putting the warmer-than-I-like notebook directly on my lap.

I'm reading that the Airs run cooler than the MBPs, so I'm wondering if I'll even need a 13" iLap for it.

Just curious how everyone manages theirs...

I use one of two thingiemabobbers... 1) a 12" iLap I got when I had my 12" PB/ iB if I'm using the MBA in bed. I'll also use a very simple Targus "Traveler Coolpad" that is just a two pieces of plastic that will swivel (to allow the 'puter to spin around a bit) with two nubbins to prop the back side of the MBA up and off the flat surface. I use that if I'm using the MBA on desk-like surface or when I'm sitting on the sofa.

:edit: I found a pic:

I use the 15" iLap whenever I feel like it but for quick MBA use, using it bare on my lap is fine.

I use icurve at work when I plug in my 24" LCD at work...but i think it's been replaced by the elevator.

Ditto... it's no problem to run on your lap. Much, much, much cooler than the MBP 15 and 17. I use a couch pillow sometimes but only to prop it up closer to my eyes. I'm 6'3" and it bothers my neck to stare down that far for too long.

I have an iLap that I bought for the 15" MBP but I don't need to use it with my MBA; I just use the MBA right on my lap, no heat issues!

The Zalman ZM-NC1000 in silver is not a bad choice if you don't want an elevated stand. The size fits the Air widthwise perfectly. Lengthwise the NC1000 is deeper than the Air is. The shape of the stand IMO complements the Air.

The USB passthrough doesn't seem to work unfortunately, although that could just be me being thick, or having a slightly older version without the USB cable storage and height adjustment.

I'm using ilap from rain...

It's really well built though price is a bit expensive...

Like the finish and quality is pretty good...
