Slap An iPad On Your Fridge

The iPad is a fantastic kitchen computer, no question, but consider me skeptical of the FridgePad, a £49 magnet-backed aluminum iPad case meant to allow you to easily slap your Apple tablet to the side of your Fridgidaire.

You know how sometimes you’ll put something heavy under a weak fridge magnet and it’ll slowly slide down the door until it smacks onto the floor? Yeah, that, except with an easily splinterable 1.6 slab of glass.

    No fridge with the cutout built-in? Come on, Sub-Zero, let’s get on it.

    Seems rather pointless and just think about all the germs that would gather after touching raw meat. Yuck no thanks

    John, is it completely unimaginable to you that the makers of FridgePad may have actually tested this thing before they started massproducing it?

    If it makes the iPad fall to the floor and splinter, as you indicate, I’m pretty sure we’ll hear about the first class action lawsuit within a week or two.

    I agree Lars, my first thought was the magnets but as you suggest, I’m sure they will have tested the effect of magnetic fields on the iPad display.
