aflegg, my initial thoughts were the same for making it more secure but seemed it would be harder to set the 770 in the stand, so i opted to have the padding force fit, meaning you have to push the 770 into the cradle (snug fit). The angle the 770 sits is also very stable (wont fall forward). I had seen a mini mirror that looked the the apple imac (iLamp)? model. What i would really love is that articulated arm design that would be super sweet. Cost would naturally be a big factor, my feeling is USA $20 would be a sweet spot.
