AViiQ Portable Quick Stand Now Available

The AViiQ Portable Quick Stand launched a week ago, but being a fan of the company and the great products they make, we didn’t want to miss out on celebrating the launch of AViiQ’s next generation of portable stands. Following AViiQ’s Premium Portable Laptop Stand (and we thought the original was a grade A laptop stand), the Portable Quick Stand is the younger brother that folds out into a triangle to lift your laptop to comfortable heights. Just like the Portable Laptop Stand, the Portable Quick Stand snaps open and uses the weight of the laptop to secure its position, utilizing a colored grip (so it totally fits your style) to stay seated and prevent any shifting. I just got mine a couple days ago, and I can tell you I’m pretty impressed with the quality of AViiQ’s newest family member so far. I’ll be doing a full review next week, so keep yours eye glued to MacStories for the final verdict. In the meantime, you can check out AViiQ’s Portable Quick Stand in action past the break, along with the press release.

SANTA ANA, Calif – April 4, 2011 – AViiQ, the award-winning mobile electronics accessory and design company specializing in solutions for on-the-go users, introduces the Smart Case for iPad 2, a colorful combination of design and protection that allows users to protect their investment without sacrificing design or self-expression.

Available in a full spectrum of colors, the AViiQ Smart Case for iPad 2 gives users the freedom to express their personality and complement their existing Apple iPad 2 Smart Cover.   In addition, its design perfectly hugs the iPad 2’s borders and back without interfering with any wireless functionality or connectivity.

“Gadgets such as the iPad 2 have become extensions of ourselves, but most accessories do not reflect our need for portability and personalization,” stated Alan Yeung, Co-Founder of AViiQ.  “We designed the AViiQ Smart Case for iPad 2 to be a means of expressing your personality, while protecting your iPad 2 in ways that will highlight its original design.”

From traditional but elegant black and silver to more jovial colors such as green, blue, orange, pink, and red, the AViiQ Smart Case for iPad 2 works with or without the Apple iPad 2 Smart Cover and is guaranteed to be shipped by Mother’s Day.

The AViiQ Smart Case for iPad 2 comes with a 30 day money back 100% satisfaction guarantee and is available for pre-order for $49.99 at www.AViiQ.com.
