I guess some people feel Apple's accessories are expensive. If you've got a cheapest model of iPad2, and carelessly bought many accessories, the expense will be comparable to iPad's price itself ! I' ve got some very cheap accessories. 1. Stands Most cutting board stands will work as iPad stands. I found this stand in a Daiso store. Isn't it cool? Comparison with typical stand Daiso's stand \105 Sanwa MR-IPADST1 \2,394 2. Sleeves A DIY sleeve. I used a thin urethane sheet found in my room. It's not enough cool so I will get more expensive sleeve in near future. However, this sleeve also works well for my purpose. Comparison with typical sleeve DIY sleeve \0 PDA-IPAD23G \1,980
