HyperMac Charges your iPad at 18 or 45 Degree Angles

Serious road warriors such as ourselves need to be prepared for any emergency iPad uses, such as for a quick game of Canabalt or to catch up on the latest news with Reeder. And when the batteries get low, we don’t panic. After all, we’re carrying the latest charger from HyperMac that doubles as stand to elevate our iPads up above those dirty hotel tables.

We know what you’re thinking. “How can an amateur such as myself get hooked up with this awesome stand?” Oh it’s awesome alright. You see, there’s two grooves that mount your iPad at an 18 degree or 45 degree angle for maximum type-ability or view-ability in portrait or landscape positions, giving you the ability to get work done or watch another re-run of The Devil’s Rejects. And when you need more juice, simply hook up your iPad to the USB port conveniently placed next to the indicator lights, giving you the freedom to reposition that iPad anyway you want.

You can give your iPad 16 additional hours of battery life for only $129.95, a small price to pay to avoid being stranded in a digital wasteland.
