Like A Multi-Purpose Tool For The iPad
The NuGuard GripStand is like a multipurpose tool for the iPad. The hard plastic protective shell grips the iPad snugly 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, ergonomically designed one hand grip so the iPad can be securely used while standing or walking. To take presentations to the next level, the NuGuard GripStand handle can even be rotated to use as a hook to hang the iPad on the wall in either landscape or portrait orientation.

Mobile Users Can Carry With Confidence
iPad users can use the NuGuard GripStand to go mobile with confidence that their investment will be protected. During transport, the iPad can be flipped around so the glass is facing into the protective case for extra protection. Then, use the desktop stand as a handle to carry the iPad like a briefcase. When travel bag space is a consideration, just twist the desktop stand/hand grip to remove it.

Perfect For The Classroom
With the protective qualities of the case and the sturdiness of the dual purpose stand and hand grip, the NuGuard GripStand is perfect for the growing use of the iPad in K-12 educational environments where the iPad will be subjected to unpredictable handling and movement.

"We took our time in developing a stand for the iPad that would offer more functionality than other options costing up to three times as much," said Grant Dahlke, Brand Manager, Newer Technology, Inc. "The enthusiastically positive consumer research feedback we received on the GripStand has us very excited to now offer the product for immediate purchase."
