This is how I use an old iPad 1 magnetic smart cover as a little wedge stand for the Push:

This trick also works great for the APC-40.

Nice, been looking for something like this. Sadly I can't find my iPad 1 cover anywhere! (found the iPad 1 though, which it turns out is still going strong and runs touchAble perfectly leaving my other one free for other apps - impressed that it still works (although really you'd hope 4 year old kit still would!))

Great idea! Thanks for sharing!

It looks like the old smart covers are pretty cheap on Amazon, http://www.amazon.com/Apple-iPad-Smart- ... B0060GF3TQ.

Any of the smart covers would likely work for, but the older design specifically is more robust and can handle the pressure better.

I HIGHLY recommend the IKEA BRADA Laptop stand for the Push. It's under $4 USD new. It fits the push perfectly. I purchased a second one for my Nova and I'm going to buy a few more for other gear.

Agreed, this is an great stand for the home studio. I've got one as well, and it makes a cameo in my video, on the left side of the desk.

The only problem is that it doesn't travel well, and I gig with my Push a fair amount. The smart cover is a more travel-friendly solution for me.

I agree. I only use mine in the studio. I should also mention that it is plastic but, so far, it's taken a beating without a problem.

Ah ha, that Brada looks great! Currently using my Komplete 9 DVD box and some bluetack but don't think it'll hold for too long

Speaking of stands, I've just got one of these for my laptop and it's great, allows me to make use of a bit of space underneath the laptop for other stuff: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ex-Pro-Notebook ... B002PU2NCG. Could be good for Push in some setups too, it's pretty solid given the price!

Yeah, those IKEA stands are great. £3.50 here or something stupid. I have two - for APC40 and Push, both with the rear feet propped up at quite an angle resting on the pedestals (old boxes for gear I bought) for the PC monitors, around 45 degrees or so towards me. Very comfy setup. Absolutely sturdy.Like so:
