Laptop stands usually arrive as thick aluminum frames or plastic ramps that claim portability while still demanding a dedicated sleeve in a bag. Less by Design treated that bulk as unnecessary once the basic job of lifting the rear edge became clear. Existing options like the Roost deliver solid height through aluminum and rubber pads yet weigh several ounces and stretch nearly ten inches long. Thin adhesive risers stay light but barely clear the desk surface. Both approaches left room for something that could disappear into a pocket yet still hold a laptop at a useful angle.
