iPad accessories are a necessity for the enjoyment of your investment. Good sound, solid platforms, protective covers, and portable presentation ability is important to all of us.
iMate provides a series of innovative and affordable supplemental devices to enhance the utility and enjoyment of our iPads (and iPhones) including:
KEYDEX iPad Stand and Speaker ($44.99):
- Versatile design
- Position iPad both vertically or horizontally on stand
- Recline iPad against the slip-proof cylindrical speakers
- Stylish 1.5 watt speakers provide surround sound
- Compact size and design to fit onto any desk space
- Protective silicon case to protect your iPad
- Dimensions: 4.0” x 10.3” x 2.2”, 0.66 lbs
- Materials: ABS plastic and aluminum
- This stand will work with either the original iPad or the iPad2 (the silicon back cover with the speaker stand does not work with the Apple front cover). The quality of the speakers was much better than expected, but the AC power supply restricted placement (I was able to substitute a rechargeable USB battery to use it for more portability).
- iPad can be operated on the stand
- Easy assemble without any tools
- Smooth stand edge and slip-proof rubbers
- Set iPad vertically and horizontally
- Quick disassemble for space saving travel
- Dimensions: 7.1” x 6.3” x 4.3”, 6.70 oz
- Materials: ABS stand and steel frame
- This stand will work with either the original iPad or the iPad2, and proved to be surprisingly lightweight and durable.
KEYDEX Protective iPad Stand ($49.99)
- Adjustable retractable vertical & horizontal footing
- Bumper protection all around (made for iPad)
- Shock-proof lined cloth cover for travel safety
- Dimensions: 7.6” x 0.7” x 9.7”, 6.07 oz
- Materials: ABS+PC, silicon bumper, rubber/steel feet
- This protective case was made for the original iPad, but an iPad 2 would fit into it. The zippered sleeve is made of neoprene and should sustain a lot of use, while also being somewhat weather-proof. The steel wire stands use rubber feet to reduce skidding.
While the protective stand would be okay for a lot of travel, speaker stand is my favorite because it holds the iPad firmly and produces excellent sound. All of these are available at either http://www.keydex.com.tw or http://imateweb.com, along with a huge number of other items from AC adapters to cables to iPhone accessories to much more. Some very interesting and innovative ways to expand the utility your portable devices.
