I am hoping that one of you can offer a source for an item that I have been looking around for. I use my Axim at home and in the office. I have my syncing cradle at home and would like to buy something cheap that I can use in office as a small stand for my Axim to make it easier to see and use without holding it in my hand.

Any suggestions?

How are you in the wood-shop?
I'm inspired now to make one ... oak perhaps, or better, walnut.
Gnome-sane?

The only thing that I can think of is the Niteize case (I think that it is how you say it). It has a bendable cover that you bend back to make into a stand.

Found this one but it's almost as much as an Axim cradle!

A cheap holder/stand like you display decorative plates on works quite well also. Get a small one.

I have also used a small piece of plexiglass from the hardware store and bent and folded it as needed by placing it over a piece of round pipe in a vice and heating it with a blow dryer.

After wondering around and looking for something that might work as a desk stand, I have found at least one option which seems to work well. I went to Staples and bought a Metal/Wire Mesh business card holder from Design Ideas. It costs less than $5.00. It comes in black and a flat silver finish similar to the Axim. The basic shape is a triangle base with a small lip to hold business cards or in this case your Axim. Because the card holder is metal, you can bend it to adjust the angle of the screen.

Thanks for the suggestions!
