ColorWare Wedge Tablet Stand Looks Incredible

Although you may know ColorWare for its custom paint job service that gets your gadgets in the right color for your taste and charging you accordingly, the Wedge looks to be the companies first ever standalone product that may actually serve a purpose. ColorWare's $250 Grip handle case for the iPad was the first product ColorWare has introduced, however it fell short from our expectations. Keeping up with the companies tradition, the Wedge is made out of a solid slab of aluminum making it last way beyond the life of your tablet. The Wedge is uniquely designed to fit the iPad, iPad 2 and most other tablets and e-readers but might look best with an iPad 2 in the front seat don't you think?

The Wedge enables the user to place a tablet in both landscape and portrait viewing orientations at four different viewing degrees - 40, 60, 70 and 80 degree angles that are also depicted at the top of the Wedge. Each of the four stand slits are lined with a soft Ultrasuede material and the bottom surface of the Wedge has been fitted with a non-slip rubber surface. ColorWare's Wedge won't come cheap at $200, but at least you've got the power of fully customizing it from head to toe and picking from a slew of color options including soft-touch and glossy finishes, Ultrasuede lining colors for each side without increasing the price. We really like the Wedge stand so far, it looks like it belongs inside a Lamborghini Reventon.

Use Your Phone As A Portable Scanner With Scandy

Scanners and all-in-one printers are a thing of the past. Scandy is said to be the future of document scanning. It lets you turn any smartphone into a portable desk scanner using its built-in camera. We know the iPhone 4 has a superb camera on its back, but is that enough to entice users to start using it to scan important documents? Scandy thinks so. The Scandy is a beautifully designed telescoping stand arm made out of plastic and also comes in an aluminum version, allowing you to adjust the height in order to fit different sized documents or photos and scan them 10 times faster than a traditional scanner. The idea is to take non-blurry photos of documents. Scandy may have hit a new market for scanning solutions with this Ikea desk leg look-alike, but as far as I'm concerned, smartphones aren't ready yet to compete against the real deal.

Scandy is currently a new Kickstarter project, but you can already pre-order yours for $40 and $100 for the platinum aluminum anodized version.

Motorized Lego iPad Stand (Video)

A bored iPad user decided to make his spare time a little more useful and built his very own Lego stand complete with an electric motor that can adjust the viewing angle by a press of a button. How useful is that? Some would even call it the best stand for the lazy bunch. If you geeky Lego fans must know, the stand was built using a 8052 Lego container truck set. Video after the break!

Wingstand Will Marry Your Tablet & Smartphone With Your Keyboard

This neat little accessory called the Wingstand, takes advantage of your existing Apple Wireless Keyboard and attached to it in order to marry your iPad, tablet, eReader and even a smartphone into a touchscreen working horse. The Wingstand is possibly the tiniest and most portable stand solution we've ever seen before. Of course you can always get one of those keyboard cases, but the Wingstand was created for those who already have all the parts necessary in making their own Multi-Touch computer on the cheap. Wingstand even works with most incased tablets and smartphones so you'll always stay safe and protected. Your gadget will that is. Even Apple's Smart Cover, although that really defeats the purpose of having a Smart Cover isn't it.

Check out the video after the break for some geekiness action. If you like what you see, then you can pre-order a Wingstand for $20 over at Kickstarter. We've got much love for Kickstarter here at Gadgetmac.
