Support your iPad Pro with one of these stands

We love perching in weird configurations while drawing or lettering on our iPad, but sometimes it's better to get work done at a desk. If you're drawing on a steady surface, you're going to want a great stand to support your iPad Pro and keep you from hunching over its screen. These are some of our all-time favorite iPad Pro stands for drawing and writing work at a desk. Take a gander and see if any of them fit your fancy.
People of the world: prop up your life!
Cremacaffè KOLIBRI
Staff Favorite
This transformable wooden stand is minimalist, like the Yohann, but provides multiple angles and display options for iPad Pro users. Best of all, it collapses into its component parts for easy storage and travel. So, you can build a solid iPad Pro workspace, whether your desk is in your office or on a plane.
Got a keyboard? Not a problem
Canopy by Studio Neat
The Canopy unfurls to provide a flexible canvas stand for writing on your iPad Pro with a Bluetooth keyboard, and features micro-suction pads for holding the keyboard in place. You simply unsnap, unfurl, snap, and drop in your iPad Pro, and you've got a mobile desktop that'll easily turn heads.
Will the real Yohann please stand up
Yohann Stand
Yohann's beautiful wood and fiberglass options are both desk art in their own right and incredibly versatile stands. The Swiss-based design firm has created U-shaped stands for all iPad models. However, it's saved some special features for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. This includes a magnetic rest for the iPad at the bottom of the stand, and a proper storage hole inside the frame when you're not using the Pencil at all.
For drafting
Elevation Lab DraftTable
This black polymer-and-steel stand may not be as overtly stylish as some of the others on this list, but it makes up for it with rock-solid functionality. Even better, the stand comes with a perfectly-sized armrest and silicone Pencil stand to keep your desk tidy and comfortable.
Simple (yet still standing)
iPad Pro stand from TechMatte
If you're someone who likes to add a little bit of style to your iPad Pro accessories and wants a compact, well-designed stand, then this TechMatte stand might be for you. It's designed with a one-touch button and 270-degrees of rotation that allows for endless, fast adjustments as you're working on your iPad Pro. It's also built with non-slip, durable, firm grip liners that stop your iPad from sliding around when it's in the stand. Plus, its sturdy aluminum structure prevents it from toppling over accidentally.
What a wedge
Twelve South ParcSlope for iPad Pro
This little stand from Twelve South is a wedge that provides you with a comfortable viewing angle for the iPad Pro. It's slanted, so you can easily type using the touch keyboard if you prefer, and the angle is excellent for drawing with Apple Pencil. The open wedge design also allows airflow, so your device does not get too hot. The ParcSlope also works with MacBook.
Don't slouch with a Stouch
Stouchi iPad Pro Tablet Holder Stand
This alloy metal stand has a secure rubber feet base that stays in place on any flat surface. Two plastic grips will securely hold your iPad Pro and other tablets in between. Stouch also has a full 360-degree rotation, so you can always find your perfect viewing angle without any neck strain. It's also highly affordable!
Trusted quality
Twelve South Compass Pro for iPad
A secondary back leg on the Compass Pro lets you position your iPad Pro at a comfortable angle for typing or sketching with Apple Pencil. It's made from metal and soft silicone that gives your iPad Pro a sturdy stance and cradles it for safety.
Get comfortable with your iPad Pro
LEVO Deluxe iPad Floor Stand
This stand comes with wheels, so you can roll it all over the house and still have your iPad Pro at a comfortable height and angle. Whether you're laying down in bed, sitting on the couch, or just standing up, the LEVO Deluxe Floor Stand has you covered.
Flexibility anywhere
nbryte Tablift Tablet Stand
This universal design will work with any tablet, including the iPad Pro — even if there's a case on your device. The flexible legs can fold down, so you can take it with you if you desire, and the design of the stand lets you comfortably use your iPad while in bed, on the sofa, or other uneven surfaces.
If we may make some suggestions...
Finding the perfect iPad Pro stand can be tricky, but it's always worth checking back to see if we update this list with more and more awesome options. Personally, we love the simplicity of the Cremacaffè KOLIBRI, since it not only works with your iPad Pro, but also your laptop, synths, and other devices. It's quite versatile!.
Another great option we love is the Yohann stand. It's made of high-quality materials and is built to last. Plus, the unique U-shape is surprisingly stable and gives you the perfect angle to work with. And how can we not love having a place to store our Apple Pencil?
If you have the money to spare, then the LEVO Deluxe Floor Stand is a great one. Since it's a floor stand, it can work at any height and angle, and the wheels at the bottom let you freely and easily move it from room to room in the house. It's perfect when you want to watch some Netflix on your iPad before bed because having a heavy iPad Pro fall on your face is not fun.
