Royal Mercury Patio Typing & DIY iPad Mini Holder Box

The blue patio table umbrella gives the Merc an unnatural hue, but it's really a bland beige.



The Astrobrights Kraft paper cover sheet, atop one of my favorite clipboards.




The inner box positioned for ideal laptop viewing.


The slots cut in the side of the inner box for headphone jack and power button access.


Slots cut into the interior for headphones and charging cable storage.


The copper sound-bouncer plate in position, ideal for watching (and listening to) more typewriter videos of course! Also note the black craft foam inside the outer box to prevent the inner box from sliding around while positioned at the ideal viewing angle.

The Duck-brand "boiler plate" patterned silver tape really sticks well, but the 3M/Scotch-brand sparkly dark gray tape not so much. Go with the Duck brand, if you have notions of decorating your tablet's original container box.

The clipboard shot above reminds me that I need to make a review video about my clipboard collection. Because you can't have too many clip boards. And with a piece of hardware store masonite board and a large binder clip, you can make custom-sized clipboards too!
