Hub International has released the HandStand for the iPad. It’s an US$ , ergonomically designed accessory that cradles the the Apple tablet, providing a control platform that positions the device as an extension of the user’s hand, says inventor Jaime Smith.
The design frees up a navigation hand, reduces fatigue, and eliminates common problems associated with iPad use, including inadvertent scrolling, application launching, and awkward iPad controlling and maneuvering, he adds. The HandStand is made of silicone and has a tough, rotating disk that allows you to spin the iPad freely from landscape to portrait and back again.
The company is currently taking all orders online (http://thehandstand.com/) and will be evaluating retail placement opportunities in coming months, Smith. The pre-order price is US$59.95.
