This is an iPad mini 6 custom tablet stand.
I made it for my own needs, then refined it for sale as it turned out better than expected.
Other smartphones, tablets, and pads can be used to some extent, but it’s perfectly sized for iPad mini 6.
This product was completed after really, really, really long time, energy, and filament consumption.

Pros and Cons, Features
This product is designed to fit the iPad mini 6 perfectly in portrait mode (without a case), so it doesn’t wobble or move from side to side.
As you can see in the photos and video above, the angle is adjustable, but it might feel tight at first.
With continued use, it may gradually loosen, which could be a disadvantage (I’ve been using it for over a year, and it’s still usable).
Personally, the best advantage is being able to pick up and move the stand with the iPad attached wherever I go.
Also, typing while holding the iPad mini 6 with the stand (although slightly heavier) is more comfortable than holding just the iPad, as you can extend your thumbs more while typing.
Notes for Printing
I’ve only made it with PETG, but it should work with PLA as well (though I’m not sure how long it would last).
Images sliced with Prusa Slicer
One printing tip is that Prusa Slicer has a feature called “Seam Painting.”
Using this feature, you can concentrate seams in designated areas for a cleaner appearance.
(I set “Print Settings → Advanced → Seam Position” to “Random.”)
