I carry it in my purse and use it when I'm eating. If I'm moving from one table to another, I just wear it on my wrist like a bracelet. It's really simple, but it works.

It's the little acrylic box that fancy post it notes come in. It has two little square tubes on the back of each side meant for pencils, and came (mostly free) shrink-wrapped with a block of rainbow post it notes. I used the notes and stand the PDA/GP5 in the box.

It's a little heavy to carry around but I use it to prop up my tablet when I'm reading sheet music from it at the piano. In some situations weight is a good thing. My prize for Item of Furniture You Are Most Likely to Trip Over goes to this stand, however: http://tinyurl.com/bguv7tf .

Not being a crafter, I wasn't aware of such things. Someone suggested a wire business card holder, like you can get from Staples. It worked, sort of, but I went back to my stands. Good point, Jack.

Helpfully, Jack Tingle Of course a $2-3 wire plate stand or easel form the local crafts store will also work and will also fold flat.

Helpfully,
