I received a SofShell for iPad 2 recently, and apparently now all I need is for someone to send me a Porsche for review to go along with it…that way I’d be all set to test out their claim. In case you haven’t heard the designers of the SofShell cases for iPad have said it’s “made from an anti-slip material that keeps your iPad in place—even when it’s on the trunk of a Porsche driving 60 mph”. Ok, so I suppose I don’t actually need a Porsche to test this out, but I am not about to stick my iPad on the trunk of my sedan, so we’ll just have to take a look at this item from a standard use-case and take their word for the whole “Porsche Thing”.

There are some crazy accessories for the iPad, and the spiderArm Stand System for iPad 2 is no exception. It’s composed of arms that connect via a two base system that allow users to safely and securely position the iPad 2 anywhere they like, without it needing to be held.
The product contains 3 anodized aluminum arm pieces and two base options. Each arm is of a different length, and one base clamps to tables, desks, counter-tops…while the other base is a surface mount that uses screws for a more permanent and fixed installation.
When I was contacted about this product I was initially a little skeptical, as it just seemed like something out of a movie more so than something I’d ever use. However, after actually using it, I can say I found uses for it in my own home. (more…)

The iPad is designed to work without a stylus. Or at least without a stylus that you are not born with. However, many people have found that writing and such with your finger is not the most ideal solution. It works, but for long note-taking it’s really not the best situation. Therefore designers and accessory makers have been filling this void nicely.
There are obviously some that are more well made than others, but each stylus I’ve reviewed does it’s job “well enough”. It’s all really about personal taste, and when it comes to the Architect Stylus, you’re getting a stylus that is comfortable to hold, and works with the iPad screen nicely. (more…)

It’s the time of year where many will lug out a fake Christmas tree or purchase one of the real variety and begin the arduous process of decorating it with lights, garland, ornaments and more.
For the Apple fan I can think of no better way to pay homage to the devices you love than by adding a set of iPhone 4s, and iPad 2 ornaments to your tannenbaum. (more…)

Designer Dave Cutler just sent an email telling me about his project FLOTE. It’s an ergonomic, machined-metal floor stand for the iPad and other tablets. I guess this should work with the upcoming iPad 3 too.
FLOTE will be available in January 2012 if enough people back it at kickstarter. Watch the video below to see this thing in action.

I’ve taken my iPad plenty of places over the last year and a half. I’ve dropped it not once. Ok, to be honest, my daughter did one time, but that’s it! I swear! Even so, it’s good to know that if I ever find myself jumping from an airplane, or skyscrapper, large cliff, or the roof of my house…that G-Form has got my shiny device covered. Check out the video below!

iSkin is a company that produces a variety of cases for your iPhone, iPod, and iPad. I had never used one of their products so when it was recommended I check them out, I asked for a couple review items and they graciously provided two for me to get a good idea as what they were about…so I could pass that information along to you all.
