Kickstarter iPad Projects II: Electric Boogaloo

It’s back. I look at 6 new Kickstarter projects that could innovate the way you use your iPad. I am also going to look at the last episode and let you know if they got backed.

Tabu Tablet Poüch

Tabu Pouch

What a great idea. Especially for the traveller. A pouch with see-through pockets. You can put all your cords in these pockets, easily removable from a bag to run through an airport scanner.

Since I carry a lot of cables when I go to travel, I can see this really helping me keep organized.

Ready Set Solar

Ready Set Solar charger unit

This is a nice little item for when you need to recharge your phone, tablet, or just power an old radio. Even though it doesn’t have to be specific for iPad, you can charge up the device, along with your phone, and anything else needed. Perfect for camping, or just saving on the home energy bill. It helps reduce your carbon footprint.

Pear Bluetooth Pairing Dongle

Pear Bluetooth Dongle for iPhone, iPad, Android

If you have a charging speaker station, you might hate the fact it’s designed for your iPhone and not iPad. Maybe it is designed for both, but you want to walk around with the iPad and listen to music through the dock’s speakers.

That is where Pear comes in. Place the dongle on the dock and pair with your phone or tablet. Your audio will come through the dock, and you can move around with your phone.

ARTSi iPad Painting Case

ARTSi iPad Enclosure

We are definitely painting a lot different than 10 years ago. But sometimes we want to have that feeling like we’re Bob Ross painting a waterfall on a mountain. What better way to do that than with the ARTSi – an iPad enclosure that is shaped like a paint pallet.

While you don’t put paint on it, you might feel a little more like an artist. You can even use the enclosure as a frame for your work.

This project has not met it’s goal yet.

TekSling iPad Holder

Teksling for ipad

Strap this on your iPad, then throw it over your shoulder. This iPad sling is meant for people who need to go hands-free with their iPad, but still have it nearby. A student, a waitress, or whoever, TekSling will help them keep the iPad close to them at all times.

This project has not met it’s goal yet.

Magnetic Wood Mount for Kindle, iPhone 4, iPad

Magnetic Wood2 250x187 Kickstarter iPad Projects II: Electric Boogaloo

Magnetic Wood

This is more than just a wood case for your tablet. With powerful magnets, you can place your device on a wall to view it when you need it. Perfect for a kitchen, or bedroom wall to watch your favorite videos.

This project is not funded yet.
