I do use a few. A few are home made out of a 2x4 and the cost here was zero since I had the 2x4 and saw.

the case cover folds into a stand

my case cover folds into a stand. I use it more to hold it securely than as a stand. whether or not you need a stand depends on your actual needs. I can see having a stand if you have a keyboard but not if you are sitting on the couch watching tv while using it.

But look all over the internet at all the different ones you can get. Don't just buy the first one you come across. There are sooooooo many of them. I'm collecting a drawer full of them. Check Amazon and get an idea of what's out there. I love my Merkury 360° Rotating Stand. It's for our iPads. Don't know if they have it for other tablets. I bought a couple other ones first until I got this one.

Another one I have for my iPad Mini is the Snugg. Great cover that turns into a stand. And it has a loop for pen or stylus. It feels nice.
