    Default Very simple Crane Stand Pro mod

    Didn't take a genius to figure this one out, but I thought I'd post it since it really makes the Crane Stand so much better.

    I just got the stand today (thanks DJTT!) and while I love it, I don't like the noise of MacBook aluminum scraping as the laptop is placed on the stand. I also fear it may scratch the laptop if it's slid into place. For some reason, the front lip and the back support of the stand is covered in rubber, but the tray surface isn't.

    Solution was easy: I fixed 4 adhesive plastic furniture feet to the stand. Since they're transparent, they look like a part of the original stand. No more scraping noises and no risk of damaging the beautiful laptop!

    I guess my question is really this: can you think of any reason why this feature doesn't come as standard?

    I see where you're coming from, but put another way: since the stand is already expensive, would it really hurt to add these? I think I paid the equivalent of $3 for about 40 of these. And that's retail. Just happened to have them laying around at home.
