Twelve South HoverBar Duo – The best iPad Stand money can buy…




Going above and beyond what most iPad stands can do, the HoverBar Duo’s design considers a WIDE range of uses, from being an additional display for your iMac to a tablet attached to your kitchen counter, or even your bedside. The stand rests on surfaces and attaches to shelves/ledges, giving you a maneuverable arm that lets you adjust your iPad to any angle or height of your choosing. This solves the iPad’s biggest problem, the fact that you have to worry about how to hold/position it. Designed to let you use the iPad for work, filming, blogging, video chatting, and casual entertainment, the Twelve South HoverBar Duo is easily the most versatile iPad stand money can buy… and its adjustable design lets it work with the larger iPads as well as the iPad Mini.

In hindsight, you really can’t call the HoverBar Duo an iPad ‘stand’. The multi-hinged, incredibly versatile, height/direction adjustable arm is capable of doing much more than your conventional stand is. In fact, think of it as a mechanical butler who just holds your iPad for you at any angle you want, for any length of time. More versatile than a stand or a tripod, the HoverBar Duo for the iPad and iPhone is better described by the things that it’s capable of… and it’s capable of quite a lot!

Simply put, the HoverBar Duo holds your iPad or iPhone wherever you want it, and in any orientation you need. The multi-hinge arm is infinitely adjustable (sort of like the lamp on a dentist’s chair), and the choice between a flat-base and a clamp-base gives the HoverBar Duo the ability to be placed practically anywhere – on a table or a kitchen counter, or even suspended from a shelf or a rod. A universal clip allows the HoverBar Duo to hold onto a wide variety of devices, including older and later models of the iPad as well as all generations of the iPhone (this obviously means it works with *most* Android phones and tablets too).

The rather long two-part arm allows the HoverBar Duo to hold your device at eye-level, giving you the ability to turn your iPad into an extra monitor that’s on the same level as the iMac, while the multiple hinges mean you could position the iPad to serve as an angled kiosk/terminal, a sketching tablet, or even an impromptu television or FaceTime machine. Moreover, the infinite adjustability means you could potentially use the HoverBar Duo to position your smartphone or tablet’s camera at any angle, turning it into a makeshift tripod with varying degrees of freedom! As I said earlier, the HoverBar Duo isn’t just merely an iPad ‘stand’… it’s a whole lot more!

It’s a touchscreen Mini-Mac!

There are two ways to go about making your iMac portable. A, you get yourself the Lavolta iMac carrying case, or B. something less bizarre, and more cool. You turn your iPad into a miniature iMac! The Slope helps you turn your iPad or iPad Mini into a miniature desktop by allowing it to become a monitor. The stand sits on any surface using friction pads and allows you to dock/place your iPad on it securely (friction pads again) in landscape and portrait modes. The stand comes CNC milled out of Aluminum, lending a beautiful Apple-esque feel to it, and as soon as you place your tablet on the stand, it instantly looks like the iMac had a little child. Except this one runs iOS and comes with a touch-screen! Connect your keyboard to it, or even use the Duet Display App to make your iPad a secondary MacOS running machine!

No more just using your tablet for Netflix or games… With the Slope, and the power of iOS 11, you can get some serious work done on your iPad!

Tstand Is a Tablet Stand Designed for Binge-Watching

Tstand iPad Stand 01

Finding the ultimate stand for your tablet could turn out rather difficult, as it would have to be light and comfortable to use both in bed and on a desk. Tstand addresses this issues, and more.

In addition to being usable in various environments, a great tablet stand would also have to be universal. Surface ID, the Montreal-based developing company that designed the Tstand, made sure that the product is adaptive, being capable to accommodate tablets with a screen diagonal ranging between 7 and 13 inches.

“We love the possibilities that smart tablets have given us, but unfortunately they are designed for their awesome screens, good looks, and computing power, but not for the way we have to hold them,” explained Sean Kieley, the founder of Surface ID.

Tstand’s design enables users to correct bad posture, and does away with neck, elbow, and back pain pain, in the process. This goes both for users to watch movies in bed and the ones who want to keep the tablet at eye-level when working at their desk. Besides a terrible posture, some other medical problems that could be avoided by using Tstand include Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, tendinitis, and arthritis.

If you enjoy streaming movies or Skyping on your tablet in bed or while sitting at a desk, the Tstand can definitely make all that a lot less tiresome. After all, Tstand only weighs a pound, which means that you’d barely feel it while holding it on your chest. Not to mention that in the meantime you can do other things, without having to hold the tablet in your hands at all times.

While I don’t entirely agree with letting small kids use tablets, the Tstand could prove useful for them, too. With the tablet docked in the stand, they have both of their hands free, and can tap whatever appears on the display. There are plenty of iOS and Android apps for youngsters out there, so in the end it might not be that bad of an idea to let them use the tablet in tandem with the Tstand. On top of that, this stand holds the tablet securely, so you don’t have to worry about the kid dropping it on hard surfaces.

The developers of the Tstand have turned to Kickstarter to get their project funded. The campaign proved to be a major success, as at the time of writing pledges were north of $58,000, more than 5 times the $10,000 funding goal. Super early birds had the chance to secure a Tstand for themselves for $32, while early birds can still back the project with $37 to get a stand in December 2015. Regular backers wanting to get their mittens on the Tstand will have to pledge $49 or more. Assuming that nothing goes wrong by the end of the campaign, backers should expect to receive their stands in December 2015, just in time for some holiday binge-watching. Considering the success of this crowdfunding campaign, I’m sure people wouldn’t mind if Surface ID added some stretch goals.

Safari TV iPad Stand: Fold ‘n Play

You certainly have plenty of choices when it comes to iPad stands, but the Safari TV stand is a cute option that stands out from the pack. It’s eco friendly, fun and stylish. It turns your iPad into a mini retro TV. It’s especially perfect if you love watching really old shows on your tablet.

Most plastic or fabric stands lack personality and aren’t very fun. Safari TV has more going for it. It is made from recycled cardboard and looks just like your grandmother’s old TV from years ago. Or if you are old enough, maybe it was your TV. It has faux dials and everything. You won’t even need to adjust the antenna or hit it on the side to give you a good picture.

This DIY stand is easy to put together and will be ready to use in just minutes. It features slots for access to your camera, headphones, volume controls, and the rest. It’s compatible with iPad, iPad Air, and iPad Air 2. It will cost you $30(USD).

An iPad Stand That Stands Out

In a unique combination of high functionality, minimalist design and intuitive use, the YOHANN iPad stand is one of the few to grab attention. Despite being incredibly simple, the single piece props your tablet at 3 different viewing angles in landscape or portrait mode, on any surface or even on your lap. Available in a glassfiber-reinforced polymer covered in white or black piano lacquer finish as well as handcrafted wood versions, this stylish stand is one (if not the only) to add to the iPad’s desirability.
