NuGuard GripStand from Newer Technology The NuGuard Grip-Stand from Newer Technology,
Woodstock, Ill, is a hard plastic protective shell that grips your iPad while enveloping it in a shock-absorbing inner rubber liner. The removable, skid-resistant desktop stand can be swiveled 360° and positioned at virtually any angle for viewing or typing needs. The desktop stand also doubles as a highly effective one-hand grip so you can use your iPad while standing or walking. Use the desktop stand as a handle to carry your iPad like a briefcase, or, when travel bag space is a consideration, just twist the desktop stand to remove it. Going mobile with your iPad is a breeze too. During transport, flip the iPad around so the glass is facing into the protective case for extra protection.
