Bathroom reading goes digital with iPad TP stand - MSN Money

iPad Commode Caddy (© Hammacher Schlemmer) Taking an iPad into the bathroom is all kinds of wrong. But Hammacher Schlemmer is making it a little less wrong with a “commode caddy” that holds the iPad while business is being done.

The $ 100 chromed steel stand has a 10-inch flexible holder that can display an iPad in portrait or landscape mode. It also holds a roll of toilet paper – apparently the only kind of paper allowed in the bathroom anymore.

“This is the bathroom stand that replaces a traditional basket of magazines,” the company says on its website . The company’s general manager, Fred Berns, said in a statement that it eliminates the clutter created by traditional printed materials.

A number of iPad-in-the-bathroom accessories have come out in recent months, MarketWatch notes, including the iPotty, a training toilet with its own dock for the device. “We’re not sure whether we should cringe at this sign of our times or be thrilled that someone finally put this idea into production,” writes the SheKnows site. We vote for cringe on this one. The $ 40 toilet is out of stock on Amazon.com (AMZN).

There’s also the $ 15 Koala wall-mount dock for tablets. Though not designed specifically for the bathroom, these damage-free mounts are cheap enough that you could plaster your house with them. And then you will never, ever have to leave your iPad alone.
