Joby’s GorillaMobile Yogi Gives Your iPad Legs

The iPad is only as versatile as a flat piece of cardboard when it comes to holding or propping the device against your pillow. While many cases have hit the market in the past month in an attempt to give our iPads some additional ergonomic superpowers, Joby has stepped outside of the box by bringing our favorite camera tripod, the GorillaPod, to our iPads. Via a slotted sleeve that can accept a pair of curvy legs in portrait or landscape orientation, Joby promises your iPad is adaptable to just about anything. While I wouldn’t be so ballsy to leave my iPad hanging from a cupboard (if that things hits the floor…), but this would really great for propping on the arm of a chair, in the backseat of a car, or even wrapping it around your forearm as an anti-little-brother mechanism. You can check out the video above for a slightly creepy product demo of Joby’s latest creation, or you can skip past the nonense and buy it direct for $49.95.
