Particular embodiments of the present invention will now be described in greater detail with reference to the figures.

The present invention provides a clipstand apparatus 10 that attaches to a writing device, or other device with a barrel of similar shape and width of the writing device, and displays information on the clip panel 49 front surface either directly or by using the built in magnet 47 and a tag, a clear plastic sleeve with a strip of metal inside or adhered to the back of the sleeve to magnetically attach the sleeve to the magnet 47 of the clip panel 49. The sleeve can hold business or marketing cards or be written on directly with an erasable marker. The clipstand 10 is utilized by connecting an adapter 30 it to the top of a writing device and hinging the clip panel 49 open or closed (depending on the need). This allows for the front surface 41 of the clip panel 49 to be prominently displayed when placed on a flat surface as the clipstand 10 will cause the writing instrument to be propped up from the flat surface or table.
