Hi Sam,

I emailed you last week but haven't had a reply yet..

Just wondering.. Are you doing any business in the UK yet?

There's literally nothing I can find here that's similar to your product and so I'd love to buy one.
 
I use my WedgePad everyday and really enjoy the convenience of having the iPad standup on it's own. But I had always wished it was more vertical and stood up straighter. I think over time, the styrofoam beads have begun to pulverize, so unfortunately it's been laying flater.

Tonight at Walmart I found a $5 bag of poly-pellets stuffing beads. The WedgePad has a nice zipper allowing it to be refilled easily. This simple DIY repair has made it perfect now.

Thanks for posting this -- mine has been getting flatter and flatter as time goes on. I'm off to get some! : )

What department did you find this in? I couldn't find it. : ( I went to Michael's afterwards, and they didn't have it either. : (

Jo-Ann Fabrics might have them if you have one in your area. I found http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B001O5SQCO at Amazon. They had others as well but they were more expensive.

Edit: Link doesn't seem to work. A search for pellet stuffing beads should find you many options at Amazon.

Thanks. I saw those, but they didn't sound like the same thing. I ended up getting them on ebay.

There was an aisle in my Walmart where they sell fabrics and sewing supplies. I found the beads there. It was a 32 oz bag of Poly-Pellets stuffing beads. These are a lot heavier than the origal styrofome beads, so expect the WedgePad to weigh more. Now if it only had a handle....

The Walmart by me doesn't have a fabric department anymore. That's where I figured it would be, but apparently they took that whole section out -- reduced to one aisle.

I think I found the same thing you got...but ended up having to pay $15, after shipping and all. : ( Oh, well, these should hold up better than the styrofoam beads -- I hope!!!

Thanks for your help. : )

Hey guys,

Sorry for not responding. Please contact us directly if you have any questions. We don't have any tools to monitor forum discussions :(

We will start offering Wedgepad pellet refills soon. Unfortunately, the amount of fill is subjective. Some people like the Wedgepad firm and some like them will a little more give.

If you need something now, i recommend Linens 'n Things for Brick and Mortar, Amazon and eBay for online.

Cheers,
Sam

Maybe they were trying to be funny but I found this comment about the Wedgepad a bit odd:

Hand Made
The WedgePad iPad stand and case is hand made with tiny frayed edges and imperfections, proof that it was crafted by the honest, hard-working, indigenous peoples of wherever.​

We like to think that we have a good sense of humor over here. Plus i'm a film buffs. It's a quote from Fight Club .

I typically use my iPad sitting in a chair with the iPad in my lap. I have been wanting something to prop up the iPad so I wouldn't have to hold it all the time. I hadn't seen a stand that could be used in a lap until I saw this.

The WedgePad is basically a wedge shaped beanbag with elastic straps. It's perfect for holding an iPad at an angle in your lap for viewing or typing. It's made out of black micro-fiber suede with white straps. The white straps are not attractive at all, but they do hold the WedgePad to the iPad well. They would have been much better in black. The WedgePad is very light and it's easy to carry them around attached to each other. The only problem with the straps (other than the color) is that one strap covers the sleep button and half of the volume rocker. The straps aren't so tight that they press the buttons.

The iPad is held at either 30 or 45 degree angles just by flipping it around. If you use your iPad on a desk this probably isn't the best stand for you, but if you use your iPad on your lap or in bed this works great.

Thanks for the tip. i've Been using one for the iPad Air for a while and this thing is freaking awesome.

Did yoursgets a bit flat yet? How did you fill it back up?
