Review: Incase Book Jacket Revolution For iPad - An iPad Case With A Twist

Posted by OneWiseMac Team on

Incase are one of the most reliable creators of Apple accessories and the Book Jacket Revolution provides everything you'd expect from an incase product.

This iPad case offers standard protection from knocks and bumps and features as many viewing angles as I've seen from an iPad case. Flip open the cover and your iPad will wake automatically thanks to the built in magnets. From there you can fold back the cover to hold your iPad in your hands or rest it on a surface and it provides a perch mode for typing. 

The feature we love most with this case is that fact that the iPad can swivel 360 degrees whilst still in the case. This allows for viewing in either landscape or horizontal positions and changing between the two takes seconds.

You can convert this case into a a stand with multiple viewing angles by simply lifting the iPad and placing it's base against one of the 3 raised platforms. You can then just move the iPad up or down a notch to change the angle to suit your needs. 

There is an elastic strap to keep the case cover closed when not in use and also features cut outs for all your iPads ports and a camera hole for the rear camera.

Most cases allow you to position your iPad in maybe 2 positions but the Book Jacket Revolution provides 7, whether you are watching a movie, face-timing or writing an email this case will serve you well. 

You can't always plan for where you will be watching viewing your iPad and getting a perfectly viewing angle isn't always possible. With this iPad case you will struggle to not find the right angle for your needs.

Who would benefit from it: This case is ideally suited for someone who moves around a lot and views a lot of video on their iPad. Whatever your position or location you will be able to find a good viewing angle. And when you need to switch from vertical to horizontal or change the angle slightly it will take just seconds with this case. We found that when there was a reflection on the screen we could just tilt it up or down a notch to minimise any glare.

Who wouldn't benefit from it: If you don't need to change the angle of your iPad very often, maybe you don't view a lot of videos, then there are better iPad case's for you.

There are no real negatives with this iPad case. You will never get every feature in one case. If you are after a touch case then this isn't for you but what you will get is multiple viewing angles in a stylish, well crafted iPad case.

Will work with the iPad 2, 3 & 4.

Review: PadPivot Lap & Desk Stand - The iPad stand your lap was made for...

Posted by OneWiseMac Team on

ThePadPivotwas a Kickstarter project back in 2011 and it raised $190,352 from nearly 5000 backers. The PadPivot has seen a number of improvements since then and the PadPivot Go Anywhere NST is the latest offering from RocketFish, the company behind this unique iPad stand.

The PadPivot is an iPad stand that provides multiple uses. The biggest selling point of this stand is that it features a curved base which is designed to offer stability when positioned on your lap. However it can also double up as an ordinary iPad stand and will work on any flat work surface. Your iPad attaches securely to a grip plate which uses nano-suction technology and will firmly stick to any glossy surface, the suction pad is easily removed without leaving a mark. This is an improvement on the previous version of the PadPivot, previously the grip plate was made from a tacky material that required a dust cover to keep it clean. This previous grip plate also tended to loose it's stickiness over time.

Review: Recoil Winders - Tangled cords? Never heard of them!

Posted by OneWiseMac Team on

Recoil Winders began as a Kickstarter project (What is Kickstarter?) that made $141,465 in funding from almost 3000 backers. The premise of this product is simple and solves one of the everyday issues I'm sure we all encounter - tangled cords. How often do your earphones and USB cords enter your bag untangled but when you pull them out they have twisted and knotted together. Recoil Winders are a super quick, portable and elegant solution to this problem.

Review: Nomad Lightning Cable - A lightning USB cable in your pocket

Posted by OneWiseMac Team on

Thanks to the Nomad you will never be without a lightning charger for your iPhone 5 or iPad again. We've all gone out and found yourselves low on battery and without a charger to hand. The Nomad solves this issue with a portable lightning cable that's no bigger than a key. 

Essentially it is just a lightning cable that will sync and charge your iPhone but the beauty of the Nomad is because it includes a secure key-ring cap it means that it can be attached to your keys. And at only 3-inches in length you will hardly notice it's there. So as long as you don't forget your keys you won't forget your iPhone charger.

Review: Une Bobine for iPhone - Charge your iPhone in Mid-air!

Posted by OneWiseMac Team on

Une bobine is a Kickstarter success story. The project started by FuseChicken needed $9800 to make the product a reality and ended up receiving $212,265 with 4541 backers.

Une Bobine can be best described as an iPhone charging and syncing cable with a twist. That twist comes from the fact that the cable is actually made from a strong, bendable material. You can bend, twist and position it in many different ways, it's even strong enough to hold your iPhone sideways for landscape viewing.
