Integrated Stands for iDevices from iChair

iChair, maker of stylish iDevice cases with built-in stands that accommodate use in portrait and landscape modes, is continuing to make waves with its simplistic yet durable designs that come with an array of value-added perks.

“Our goal was to make a multi-functional case that didn’t sacrifice protection or the slim, sleek design of iDevices,” said Shefali Sedey, Director of Marketing & PR. “The iChair blends form with function making it easy to use and carry, so users can browse the web, type messages more comfortably or prop up their device to view movies or presentations no matter where they are.”

Debuted at CES, iChair cases are made of the highest-quality materials, featuring a rubber coated, matte-finish with integrated pull-out stands that contribute to the ultra slim profile design. The iPad version is lined with microfiber and has twin stands – one capable of rotation providing three different angles for optimal viewing, along with a small stand that positions the iPad at an ideal angle for typing. Available in black with your choice of an extra top slider case in either blue or white, all cases come equipped with a screen protector, cleaning cloth and squeegee board making iChair’s value unbeatable. The iPhone 4 case includes both a front and rear screen protector for ultimate protection.

The iPad case retails at $49.00 and the iPhone 4, iPhone 3G/S and iPod Touch cases at $34.00.

If relaxation while listening to music is one of your favorite moments of the day, check out the iPod Travel Pillow.

Instead of using normal headphones, the sound comes straight from the pillow, which has 2 built-in speakers on the sides: left and right.

As the name suggests, the pillow is suppose to be used on travel scenarios, and I must admit that sitting on the back of the car with the iPod Pillow, looks much more comfortable than not using nothing. Just plug in your iPod®, MP3, CD or DVD player—no batteries needed.

SmartNav hands-free mouse

admin — Tue, 25 Dec 2007 20:25:52 +0000

SmartNav is a head-tracking device that uses your head motion to move the mouse cursor. It is installed on top of the monitor and the user has to place a dot on the forehead I’m not sure why they couldn’t track the eyes, but the dot is probably more precise, may be because the SmartNav uses a light reflection of some sort.

If you wonder, the head only moves the cursor. To click, the user has to install another accessory, such a foot pedal. I’ll stick to the mouse for now, but this could be useful to someone who has arm/hand/wrist related health issues.
