When you have a limited amount of desk space (and who doesn't?) it can be aggravating to see space in front of you, perfectly good space taken up by a keyboard which is necessary on the road but certainly not when the laptop is docked on our desk.
So after a little measuring, we stopped in at our local TAP Plastic store and picked up a 12" x 18" pieces of 1/4 in thick acrylic sheet. We also got 4 1.5 inch long pieces of 5/8" diameter acrylic rod and the smallest tube of acrylic glue they carried. Total bill: $13.61.
The platform is sturdy enough to set a book on if you're transcribing something out of it or to put your stack of bills as you work through them. But it's light enough to easily lift off when you need to remove the laptop. And being made of clear plastic, it is not unattractive nor does it get in the way of side or front access outlets or controls.

Very clean solution!
