You might have trouble finding an iPad in stock at Best Buy or an Apple Store this weekend. So as you have a little time to plan your gadgety future, size up this new accessory.

Element Case, a Belmont, Calif., manufacturer of high-end protective cases for iPhones, has just released a sleek new iPad work stand called Joule. It provides a prop-up base so you can look up recipes from your kitchen countertop, surf the Web at your desk or watch movies from your coffee table. The solid-aluminum stand comes in a polished finish or with an anodized black coating and has rubber feet so it won’t slip or tip over when you tap or swipe the touch screen. And the recessed slot is lined in velvet to be gentle on your precious new gadget. Custom laser engraving with your name, company logo or other graphic is also an option.

The Joule retails for $129.99 plus $9 shipping to Los Angeles, but Element Case is offering a special promotional discount of $99 to the first 100 L.A. at Home Readers. Simply enter the code H3U2LF9VR at checkout.
