My wife and I both use iPads at home, and we see a lot of accessories that are sent to Cult of Mac for review.

Most are sent back or end up in the basement, but there's one accessory we use all the time: SwitchEasy's MagMount Magnetic iPad Stand.

My wife loves it, and her iPad, which is her main computer, is constantly parked in the stand.

She uses it for work, for responding to emails, and also when watching movies on the couch or in bed. It's good for cooking too.

The MagMount stand holds her iPad firmly by magnets, and swivels and tilts in all directions. It's very well made and very versatile.

It doesn't hurt that it looks like the pedestal on Apple's iMacs.

And right now, the MagMount is 20% off at just $79.99 (regularly $99.99) in the Cult of Mac Store.

SwitchEasy's handy CoverBuddy iPad Pro case, which is one of the few cases compatible with Apple's Smart Keyboard, is also 20% off.

But don't wait -- the 20% off sale is good only until this coming Wednesday, August 10.
