InfiniteLoop Tablet & Smartphone Stand Offers Infinite Flexibility

June 23, 2011/ Nir Schneider

What looks to be the world's most intriguing tablet stand is the InfiniteLoop. The InfiniteLoop is the creation of Tim Gushue, who designed the InfiniteLoop to be the most simplest and versatile tablet stand ever. The patented co-molded metal and plastic form can be easily manipulated to any shape your imagination comes up with while maintaining the strength and rigidity to hold up all sort of heavy tablets like the iPad.

What's more, is that there is also the shorter MiniLoop stand made out of the same materials as its older brother, and it too can be manipulated in infinite angles and is compatible with almost any smartphone. The MiniLoop can attach to almost any surface by wrapping it around it, kind of like the flexible Gorillapod tripod. The possibilities and uses of these flexible stands is pretty much endless. The InfiniteLoop is currently a Kickstarter project and you can pre-order the MiniLoop for $19 (will retail for $29.95) while the InfiniteLoop's pre-order price is $35 (will retail for $44.95), plus you'll also get the MiniLoop as a bonus. If you're interested, head over to the InfiniteLoop Kickstarter page for more info. The guys at Infinite Loop hope to start shipping these out by August.

Thanks for the tip, Chris!

April 20, 2011/ Nir Schneider

I'm a big fan of Aviiq's thin and ultra portable laptop stand which I use daily and even reviewed a while back. This time, Aviiq has introduced a new and improved portable laptop stand called the Quick Stand. It comes in six different vibrant colors for $39.99. Check out the hands-on and unboxing video above. Aviiq sounds good in a French accent.

II:XX iWah, Possibly The Best iPad 2 Stand A Guitarist Could Wish For

April 13, 2011/ Nir Schneider

Past the weird brand names is a mysterious looking stand for the iPad 2 called the iWah. The whah? The iWah Original is a stand for the iPad 2 that allows you the guitarist, to utilize the iPad's built-in gyroscope and accelerometer to add effects such as the famous "wah" effects as well as controlling the volume swells. All of this of course requires an app like Apple's Garage Band and many others. The iWah is essentially a hardware stand pedal that is solidly built with aluminum and rubber padding. The iWah allows for landscape and portrait positions and it's priced at $135. Availability has yet to be announced. In the meantime, rock on.

Hinge Stand For iPad & iPad 2 Stands By Its Name

March 30, 2011/ Nir Schneider

Another day, another iPad stand. This one comes to us from yet another Kickstarter project by William Tang, a young designer with a dream to create a foldable and compact stand compatible with both the iPad and iPad 2. The Hinge Crystalline edition was inspired by modern architecture with a simplistic design to allow the iPad and iPad 2 to be displayed in both landscape and portrait angles. The Hinge also comes in a natural birch wood finish called the Classic edition and it's padded with leather.

Both the Hinge stands are kept closed using a magnet latch when not in use. This doesn't look all that compact and portable after spending time with the Compass stand, surely. But if a metal stand like the Compass isn't what you're looking for, take a look at the Hinge project over at Kickstarter. You can pre-order the Hinge Crystalline stand for $25 while the Classic edition will run you $35. See it in action right after the jump.

Meet the polyply, a laser cut iDevice holder. Andrew Kim designed the polyply as a project for himself and it can hold an iPad, iPhone 4, iPad Classic and a stylus all in one handy stand. The polyply can also tilt down for a lower viewing angle. True multitasking anyone?

Meglio, The Rotatable Handle & Stand For iPad & iPad 2

March 07, 2011/ Nir Schneider

A new company called Meglio set out to create an ergonomic handle and stand for the iPad and of course the iPad 2. The Meglio promises to let you comfortably enjoy your iPad with a secure grip with a rotating function to quickly switch between landscape and portrait angles. This isn't the first accessory of its kind but it sure does look interesting nonetheless. With the iPad 2 being even thinner, the Meglio seems to be a nice addition if you're into these sort of stuff. Did I mention it can hang off your towel hanger? You can pre-order the Meglio for $39.95 off of Kickstarter.
