I purchased my Griffin Elevator from the Apple Store almost six months ago, and overall I’m quite satisfied. It’s quite simple of a product. Two aluminum legs that are connected on the bottom with a clear acrylic cross beam. Simple as that. It provided great ventilation and storage space where I could store much of my desktop junk. But over the period of use with the laptop stand. One thing irks me the most

As you can tell by the picture posted along with this entry. The only thing holding on to the Macbook is the friction of two rubber strips. Although they are quite thick, and never had a problem of holding onto the mac. It worries me immensely. I wished Griffin designed some sort of lip at the ends of both pieces of aluminum. So if the rubber ever gives up its friction, or through some force of nature that the Macbook is tugged on. It shall still be safe on the stand. But otherwise, there is a nightmare running in my head, depicting my beloved Macbook Pro falling to the ground from a simple tug of my headphone cord.

Just a simple suggestion to Griffin, and to other laptop stand manufacturers. Rubber shouldn’t be the only thing keeping the device on the stand. That’s a accident and lawsuit waiting to happen. And it will involve tears.
