If there’s one thing us iPad owners like as much as iPad cases, it’s iPad stands. And no wonder: without such a prop, the iPad can do little more than lay flat on the floor or table like a dead fish. Only unlike the poor fish, it won’t even entertain us by flapping desperately around for a few long seconds as it fruitlessly tries to push a few more drops of nonexistent water through its gills, before slowly expiring and laying eerily still.
The Boomerang case won’t provide the same pizzazz as the last few seconds of a suffocating real-life Big Mouth Billy Bass, but it does bend in the middle, and it does support your iPad.
The Boomerang—first seen last year on Kickstarter—is an x-shaped frame that clips onto the back of the iPad and hinges along its long axis. Thus, two feet stay attached to the iPad and the other half of the X swings down to prop it up. It can be adjusted to multiple angles for viewing and typing, but it also packs another trick: The body of the x-mount has a strong magnet which lets it clamp onto various other accessories.
Right now the only Boomerang accessory is the desk stand, a big curved wave of steel that makes your iPad look a little like a curvy iMac, but on the way are a headrest mount and others. The Boomerang ships with a magnetic multi-mount.
The standalone (ho ho) Boomerang is $80, the desk stand $90, and both can be bought right now, this minute.
