The Nabi Jr is a $100 Android tablet designed for toddlers -- a really great product (especially after a few additions in "Daddy Mode"). However, the accessory stands for it are not all that cheap and, frankly, have hinges that are not very toddler friendly. This is a solid one-piece stand that simply slips firmly over any of the mounting squares on the back -- allowing the Nabi Jr to sit nicely in many orientations and angles. Our 2-year-old "test subject" also found it to be a good handle for carrying the unit while watching it. My first design, shown printed in black PLA, worked nicely but had a rounded edge with a little too much overhang to print smoothly. My second design, shown in white and posted here as an STL, has 45-degree beveled edges instead, and prints very nicely.

ProfHankD
I'm a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Kentucky, best known for things like having built the world's first Linux PC cluster supercomputer in 1994... although around the 3D-printing world I'm probably best known for my HingeBox (which Tested popularized). My research group (Aggregate.Org) really is about improving computing systems by making the various SW+HW components work better together, which we do for many different types of computer systems: supercomputers, digital cameras, ... and now 3D printers. I had some experience with tool and die making using Bridgeport Series I CNCs as far back as the late 1970s, but my 3D printing adventure started in late 2012 with purchase of a MakerGear M2 for my lab to make custom camera parts in support of computational photography research. I now use multiple MakerGear M2 and Wanhao I3 3D printers, several semiconductor laser cutters, a 3040T CNC mill, a programmable paper cutter, and a small vacuum forming machine.
