Interested in using your iPad 2 as a secondary monitor or touchscreen computer? There are various apps that let you do that, and now there’s some hardware, too. Twelve South has unveiled HoverBar, an adjustable arm that floats an iPad 2 next to an iMac or Apple display. The HoverBar can also be used separately to create a compact iPad workstation or an install-free kitchen mount for iPad.

Disappointed that your MacBook Air looks more like a mess and less like a book? Then check this out; Twelve South has updated their BookBook line of “vintage book-style cases” to include MacBook Air model. This new version is made of genuine leather, weighs as little as 13 ounces, and is hand-distressed to ensure that no two are like.

We’re now just a day away from the oddly timed 5:00 release of the iPad 2. Kids won’t have to camp out all night, now, they’ll just have to get out of school early to make sure they get one. And thankfully, you all can spend the morning shopping around for the case you’ll need to keep your iPad 2 nice and shiny. Here’s a collection of last hour releases.

Want to stand out while protecting your MacBook Pro at the same time? TwelveSouth has just the thing for you. It’s called the BookBook case and it’s what happens when you hide the new in the old. It’s a case designed to look exactly like the worlds biggest format leather bound book. With two rigid leather covers, the BookBook case will provide superior protection and a suitable disguise for your most expensive portable gadget.

I like the BookArc; let’s start with that. This device from Twelve South is a simple but solid heavy gauge steel arc in which your MacBook, MacBook Pro or MacBook Air can rest in its closed position. Why would you need that? You wouldn’t be asking if you use an external monitor and keyboard with your MacBook. Small is good when you’re considering portability. But when doing work at your desk, it’s better for your eyes and your posture to hook your laptop up to a larger monitor.
