As any iPad owner knows, that slim, 'lightweight' tablet doesn't feel all that light after you've been holding it up in your hands for even a few minutes. Finding the right viewing angle whilst seated, laying down or standing up working can also be something of an annoyance and many of the adjustable stands on the market today take up a lot of desk space or need to be mounted someplace like a metal rail or edge of a table which makes their positioning equally limited.
iPad floor display stands are a completely multifunctional alternative to all of these other docks and holders, providing their users with an all-in-one solution for just about anywhere they would want to mount and use their iPad hands free.
An adjustable free standing iPad stand doesn't need a mounting point. Instead, any level floor surface where you can rest the base of the stand is all you need and then you adjust and swivel the stand and the docking cradle around to provide yourself with the perfect height and level of tilt whether sitting, standing, laying flat on your back or standing on your head (!) you'll be able to adjust a floor stand for iPad tablets to suit your needs.
Which Are The Best iPad Floor Stands?
If you are looking for the best floor stand for iPad tablets then look no further than the SwingHolder Floor Stand which is compatible with the original iPad and Apple iPad 2 tablet. It's not cheap but its quality is second to none.
For something in the more affordable range, the TaoTronics TT-HS01 Full-Motion Rotatable floor standing holder for iPad and other tablets comes in at under $100 dollars.
More on these two stands and other models below.

The adjustable Swingholder ipad holding stand will hold your iPad at a comfortable viewing height for hours on end. It's adjustable arms won't get tired and the swing boom style arm can be adjusted to infinite angles for comfortable use wherever you are.
The Swingholder is made in the USA from recycled plastic and steel and offers a very stable mounting stand for you device. This isn't going to get knocked over easily which is something worth considering when you are mounting a $600+ tablet computer onto it.

It also features a raised outer rim to protect against bumps and dings. This cradle leaves all the important buttons and access points open and ready to use. The volume control, on/off switch, front and rear facing camera, headphone jack and charging port and are left unobstructed so you can access them all without having to remove the iPad from the stand. You can also use this as a floor standing iPad dock as there is an inbuilt charging cable which runs through the stand and the boom arm.
The Swingholder floor standing iPad holder can be adjusted to infinite angles and will display in both landscape and portait modes. It is compatible with both iPad 1 and iPad 2.

This model features a 360 degree rotatable mounting bracket which is mounted on a gooseneck
The adjustable clamp mount allows this stand to hold any tablet computer from 7 inches to 11 inches in display size, and hence the rather long product name. If your tablet isn't listed...well, if it falls within that size range it'll probably fit anyway.

GSI Quality Floor Stand Mount For Apple iPad 1, iPad 2 With Adjustable Arm And Rotating Bracket - For Handsfree Video And Picture Shows, Office Presentations, Etc.
Amazon Price: (as of 06/01/2012)
For the more budget conscious, the GSI floor standing mount for iPad 2 or original iPad has you covered. This is great to use as a bedside iPad holder allowing you to read without the fear of worrying you might fall asleep and drop your iPad onto the floor. It'll also work as a good floor standing iPad holder for use with gym machines in your home, or as a cookbook stand in the kitchen. The iPad mount will swivel to give you both portrait and landscape modes and the boom arm can be raised and rotated to find a comfortable viewing angle. This is almost a fifth the price of similar models so there are trade offs here but if price is your main consideration then this might be more in your ballpark.
