Scosche Announces kickBACK P Stand and Case for Apple iPad

Posted on 28 January 2010 by


We’ve seen a flood of announcements for iPad cases and accessories already. And why not? I mean, the device WAS announced a full day ago! :)

One of my favorites so far, and the one I want to have day one of my iPad usage, is the newly announced kickBACK P Stand and Case from Scosche.

The Polycarbonate and rubber hybrid case works as a kickstand for the device in both vertical and horizontal positions. It locks in position and promises to make viewing, and using, the iPad easier. What I really love about the design? The molded grips on the back which will make the iPad easier to hold and less likely to take a fall.

The Scosche kickBACK will ship early to mid summer. We look forward to reviewing it here on the site.

The full release follows…

    From these pics, it’s hard to see how this design allow both horizontal AND vertical positioning. Looks more like (at least) 2 products: one for portrait orientation and one for landscape.

    I think the Horizontal and Vertical apply to lying flat and standing up, not ‘Portrait’ and ‘Landscape’.

    I’ve been using one of their retractable iPhone charging cords for about a week now, and I have to say I’m pretty impressed. It’s heavy-duty, it works well, and I like that it both locks in place on my iPhone and is reinforced at the cable connection points. If this stand is of similar quality, it will definitely be worth checking out. (Thinking of ordering their iPhone version and checking *that* out.)
