Two New Ways to Elevate your iPad

The iPad has become our do it all tool for just about anything. When you’re not painting portraits with Brushes or navigating blimps, you may be using the iPad as a secondary display or as a handy cookbook. We’ll help you utilize those secondary uses via a pair of products that’ll help elevate your iPad to new heights.

Innopocket iPad Stand

Innopocket iPad Stand

The first on our list turns your iPad into a mini iMac. Innopocket’s HexaPose puts your iPad on a swivel so you can tap, rotate, and manipulate your new multi-touch display. At $49.99 it isn’t cheap, but when paired with an Apple bluetooth keyboard this alternative might be just what you’re looking for as you search for the perfect tablet-to-desktop aid.

Wallee Desk

Wallee Desk

Our second item takes a less elegant approach. Instead of a stand, how about slapping that iPad onto the wall? No no, we’re not talking about velcro voodoo here. The Wallee gives your iPad free floating powers for use as a small Hulu TV, recipe display, or convenient office dock. We won’t judge if you just end up using this as a wall-mounted picture frame, but surely you can get more creative than that. For four cents less at $49.95, you can ditch the stand and give your iPad spidey-like powers.
