Tablet computers typically cannot stand up on their own. There are prior art padded stands for supporting tablet computers but they support the computers too low for reading, are too uncomfortable, or are oddly shaped. The present pillow stand includes an outer shell with flexible top and bottom panels connected by a planar seam to form an elongated olive-shaped cross section. A soft filler is enclosed within the outer shell. A receiving member is positioned on an exterior of the top panel for supporting a tablet computer in a standing position only along its lower end. A stabilizing member is positioned within the outer shell and connected to the receiving member through the top panel. The stabilizing member is engaged against the filler to support the receiving member and the computer. The stabilizing member spreads the weight of the computer across a large enough area of the soft filler to stably support the computer. The present pillow stand raises the tablet computer to reduce neck strain, it provides a soft hand rest in front of the computer, and it blends in with home decor by masquerading as an ordinary throw pillow. |
