The HandStand for iPad provides a new way to hold and use your device that may come in handy for certain situations, but not all.
There may be times when having the iPad sit in your lap while you use both hands to tap away on the screen is most useful, and other times you may want the iPad to stand on a table so you can view an app or movie hands-free. But with the HandStand, you can hold the iPad safely and securely in one hand with little effort while using your other hand to manipulate the screen or perform other tasks. It’s a great accessory that adds flexibility to your iPad experience.
Though suited well for many situations, HandStand may work best for business purposes like checking inventory records on the iPad while viewing the stock on a shelf at the same time, giving a presentation where mobility is needed while referencing the iPad, or multitasking in any number of ways with one hand while having the need to use the iPad with the other.
HandStand is manufactured in Portland, Oregon from heavy-duty, durable polyurethane using American made materials. All parts are 100% recyclable. The iPad fits snug and secure into a case and your hand fits easily under a flexible strap on the back. There is a hard plastic piece which extends out from the back that your fingers can grip or rest on, but it also acts as a stand when you place the accessory down on any surface. You can enjoy a 360 degree rotation of the iPad when using HandStand simply by twisting the case.
The solid and durable case will protect your iPad even though you are less likely to drop it with the device secured in your hand. All of the spaces to accommodate iPad’s microphone, headphone jack, speaker, docking port, and rotation lock/mute switch are present as well as access to the volume controls and the on/off button.
HandStand is available in black or white and sold only through the company’s website for $49.99, recently reduced from $59.99. You can also now pre-order HandStand for iPad 2 for $39.99. It’s available this May in an additional color option, pink.
