I designed a tiny collapsible laptop stand that fits in your pocket and weighs less than a AA battery. It props up the back of your MacBook (or most laptops with a rear lip), and also works as a phone/tablet stand. After dozens of prototypes, I landed on a form that prints fast, folds flat, and actually feels stable. Site is live at https://floatystand.com Feedback welcome!

Also if you have a 3d printer, the files are available for free, just check the FAQs of the website.

This looks awesome! It appears as if the link to the 3d printer files isn't working properly, though.

Very cool! Is it stable enough if I have to type with the Mac's keyboard?

    Yeah it's super stable! The front edge of the laptop makes it a stable triangle. Because the stand locks in solidy you can even grab the macbook and move it around no problem. Thanks!
