It’s the Achilles’ heel of the iPad.The ergonomics of Apple’s tablet are “like a bar of soap,” says Spencer Houser, a product engineer at Houser Works in Portland, Ore. “The HandStand changes that.”
The HandStand, an iPad case from Houston-based Hub International LLC, minimizes the chances of dropping an iPad. A semi-hardened rubber iPad case with a handle, the HandStand ergonomically secures the iPad to the user’s hand, gripping it with an elastic cuff so that the device doesn’t have to be held. A “finger ledge” for easy handling also doubles as a base when the iPad is in a horizontal position.
