Twelve South’s New SurfacePad Gives Your iPhone A Smart Cover
Twelve South announced a brand-new iPhone accessory today, one that most likely looks familiar if you ’ re familiar with Apple ’ s Smart Cover and Smart Case products. The SurfacePad for iPhone is a sheath of Napa leather that coils your phone and provides basic level defense while including a minimum quantity of weight and thickness.
The company is clearly selling this as a fashion accessory, given the means they ’ re marketing it. It ’ s a nice looking addition anyway, and the thin cover should secure both front and back from scratches and scrapes, something that the iPhone 5 might make use of. It adds just 1.77 mm to your gadget ’ s thickness, and sticks onto the iPhone with a residue-free adhesive to ensure it isn ’ t going anywhere once applied. The front cover also folds back and doubles as a stand, thus its resemblance to Apple ’ s Smart covers and cases for iPad.
The SurfacePad comes in black, white and red, and is offered for both iPhone 4/4s and iPhone 5 form elements. It ’ s less large than the majority of folio kind cases, if that ’ s your thing, and it retails for $ 34.99, which barely breaks the bank, specifically for a real leather case. It ’ s available to order now from TwelveSouth.com.

With my setup, I ’ ve got adjustable mount arms for external displays so I wind up moving those down to match my MacBook Pro on the mStand by Rain Design (an additional very capable note pad stand), but having the ability to additionally alter the height of the MacBook would be a really welcome addition, specifically because it sits at the center of my workdesk and commands the bulk of my attention.
The HiRise is priced at $ 70, and could be gotten from Apple ’ s online shop and Twelve South directly. Like other note pad stands, it additionally provides good ventilation for the underside of your notebook Mac, and it ’ s made to be effortlessly spun side-to-side to permit for changing the horizontal watching angle. The only possible drawback I can easily see is that it uses grippy pads solely to hold your MacBook in location (the mStand has feet at the front to protect against the pc from previously sliding forward), however I ’ ll reserve judgement on whether that actually constitutes a weakness until I get some hands-on quality time. Also with that caveat, the HiRise appears like a terrific choice generally speaking, especially for workplace or residence workplace workers seeking a way to much better address chronic back and neck pain.
