HyperMac Stand, iPad stand and battery in one

What do you get when you take two of the most common iPad accessories—a stand and a battery—and combine them in one? The HyperMac Stand. It adds 16 hours of battery life, recharges over USB and works with cased or naked iPads with two angles of view. The HyperMac Stand might just solve two or more of your problems at once, but the idea behind combining a stand and a battery has some benefits that may be less obvious.

The idea behind combining a stand and a battery has some benefits that may be less obvious. For instance, one accessory is easier to lug around than two. But what may be less obvious is that batteries are a bit heavy, meaning the weight of the battery will aid in the stability of the stand. Some stands add weight to do this, but this combo is a match made in heaven since you aren’t adding dead weight to the stand unnecessarily. Plus it looks to have a low center of gravity, further preventing your iPad from going anywhere.

The Stand connects to your computer over mini USB. While connected, it will recharge and pass through data, so you can sync your iPad at the same time too. The two slots will hold your iPad at either 18 or 45 degrees (from vertical) with or without a case. When fully charged, the Stand provides your iPad with about 16 extra hours of battery life. That’s over 24 total hours’ worth of battery. Whatever will you do with all of that battery life? I’m guessing spread it over the course of a week.

You can get the HyperMac Stand straight from HyperMac for $129.95.
