Really? Because as far as I can tell, your stand is just about the complete opposite to Alpha's. But I guess thats the price I pay for being a dick!
I sincerely apologise for any offence I may have caused with regard to my past comments, and hereby swear to never again utter such words. To be honest, its a good effort to make something rather than just going out to buy it, and I've made a couple of bits of furniture for my room in various A Level (I think its equivalent to what you guys would call Advanced Placement in the US?) projects that were more catered to what I wanted or needed (or maybe to what would get me a good grade, but I digress). And most times they worked out to be far more cost effective than their store bought equivalent, as well as that nice fuzzy feeling you get knowing you actually designed it, sourced all the materials and put the whole thing together from start to finish.

I accept your apology. But let me tell you the real reason that I made it. As I am only 15, I am still growing. With my display/MBP at such a low level (without a stand), my neck was hurting. So I decided to solve my neck pain issues by raising up my display and MBP. It serves its purpose, and it does that quite well.
Fair play - serves a purpose and you like it. What's the 13" Pro like? My blackbook is feeling a little sluggish when editing video and running several things, and might be looking to upgrade if there are new ones out soon
Have the same stand. I also got it from amazon. I think it was $39 US. I love it. Very sturdy and well made plus it looks great and matches the rest of my tech gear.
Griffin Elevator
Wow, that's a nice setup. Nice and clean. Off the table is good.
Griffin Elevator. Cost me $20, and it's great.

Seems the Griffin is a much cheaper solution compared to the mstand. Who sells the Griffin at a good price?
Rain mStand
Hands down the best stand I ever used. It is so simple & it looks like it was made for my MBP. I got it from Costco. Can't remember what I paid for it, but it was better than the average going rate.
Here's Mine. My wife wanted something simple for her 11" MBA, so I whipped this up with some copper tubing and brass compression fittings I found in the garage. It acutally turned out quite nice.
a new kind of stand
Checkout the Prop. The Prop is a very portable and affordable ($18) laptop stand. My partner and and I have been developing this stand for over two years and right now it's on Kickstarter. This stand works great with every Macbook laptop we have tried it with, all the way from Air 11" to Pro 17".

Very nice! Very clever idea you had there, I like it. Simple, elegant, versatile. That will probably be my next macbook stand purchase.
