The Joule: An iPad Stand Worthy of the iPad

April 10, 2010

iPad

The iPad now has a worthy throne to sit upon:  the Joule iPad stand.  Crafted by Element Case, a company that creates unique custom cases for iPhones, the Joule is a sleek, elegant stand designed not only to hold your iPad but to complement its beauty.

The Joule is made from solid aluminum.  Its base rests on rubberized feet making the stand sturdy and slip-resistant.  A magnetically-attached foot supports the iPad so that it will not tip over when the touch screen is being used.  The foot can be inserted three ways for different viewing angles, and the highest insertion point positions the iPad perfectly for typing. The iPad itself fits, either vertically or horizontally, into a velvet-lined recess in the base.  A notch in the front of the base allows easy access to the home button when the iPad is vertical.

Jeff Sasaki, creator of the Element Case, said, “With the Joule, we want to bring our renowned workmanship, mind blowing design and customization to iPad users. This is a premium-quality, luxury stand for the serious iPad lover who appreciates both the art and technology of this new device.”

The Joule iPad Stand is available in chrome or anodized black.  You can have the stand custom-coated or laser engraved with words, images, or logos.  It retails for $129.00 plus shipping and handling, but the first 100 Macgasm readers who purchase the Joule can get it for $99 (plus S & H).  Just use coupon code H3U2LF9VR when you check out.

Keep an eye out for Macgasm’s forthcoming review of the Joule and a giveaway!

I've just received mine and it is really a beautiful piece of hardware. I don't have my 3G yet so I can't comment on the utility of design itself.

It certainly pays homage to the look of the iPad. Sure you can probably make a stand out of egg cartons and paper clips. But why ;)

Hah, people aren't buying iPads if they're broke. I'm sure they can all afford a couple extra bucks on a stand... right? ;)
