I actually use the RoadTools Traveller's CoolPad when I'm on the road. Its size won me over.
However, I use the iLap when I'm at the office. I have my PB hooked up to a USB keyboard and mouse. If my office desk didn't have a keyboard/mouse tray, I would have gone with the iCurve.

I personally like my GBreeze from MacMice. They don't make them anymore, but I have an Apple Reseller in Toronto that still has them in stock.

The Koolsink is a little pricey but it fits the PB design nicely. Puts the 'book a t a nice angle. I've had mine for about 6 months and am extremely satisfied.
It also functions as a "shell" for the Powerbook during travel. The stand hugs the laptop, yet it is so slim that my Powerbook still fits into its waterfields sleeve. I travel a lot and pack my bags pretty full, the Koolsink has so far kept my screen from becoming a casualty (which happened to a friend of mine, when she had to check her bag with the computer in it)
I accidently dropped my 12" at full speed from the back of my bicycle (in the sleeve with the Koolsink hugging it): not a dent!

I wanted to stick in my vote for the koolsink somewhere. Simple, classic, matches the powerbook design. Does its job. I wanted something that raised the angle of the keyboard that wasn't two books that kept sliding off the back of my desk (which I tried for several months). I have a very hazardous environment (3 kids under 10 all around my desk) so I needed something stable. Looks were also important to me and most of those other stands look overdesigned or underdesigned to me.
Yes, it's a little pricey, but it met my needs exactly so I went for it.

If this post is in the Lounge forum, it is likely to be my own opinion, and not representative of the position of MacNN.com.

What are you using under the 17" Powerbook ?
I like the iCurve - but i'm worried if it can take the weight
and be stable with the big machine on top.
