IPAD 2 BUYERS’ GUIDE<br />

ACCESSORY GUIDE<br />

Wall + Kitchen Mounts<br />

If you need to hang your iPad on a wall, cabinet, or refrigerator, you’re in luck: companies have a<br />

number of solutions. Some require you to use a bare iPad; others use cases to interact with mounts.<br />

Griffin Cabinet Mount<br />

Available solely for the original<br />

iPad, this sturdy chrome arm<br />

mounts under any 14”-deep<br />

cabinet, providing a frame that<br />

holds a bare iPad whenever<br />

you want to keep it suspended<br />

above the kitchen<br />

counter. Swivel, turn,<br />

and pivot as desired.<br />

$70<br />

The Wallee Wall Mount for iPad<br />

At some point, there will be a perfect iPad case that<br />

integrates seamlessly with a clean wall mount; Australian<br />

company The Wallee comes close with this simple glossy iPad<br />

shell that locks into a wall-mounted X-shaped post. While<br />

greater protection would have made this ideal, the<br />

price is pretty close to right. An iPad 2 version is<br />

forthcoming with matte and glossy case options.<br />

modulR Case + Cover and Slim Mount for iPad<br />

modulR’s idea is to start with an iPad case and then add extra<br />

parts as needed: the Slim Mount is a screwed-in wall mount<br />

with slots that integrate with the case’s rear posts. (Quick<br />

Stand, Shoulder and Hand Straps, a Head Rest Strap, and<br />

other parts are also available.) While the first-generation iPad<br />

case wasn’t fantastic, using a less than thrilling plastic and a<br />

kludgy front cover, there’s a new version for the iPad 2 that<br />

looks more promising, protective, and versatile.<br />

Woodford Design<br />

FridgePad<br />

Sold in five colors, FridgePad<br />

uses a plastic frame and a giant<br />

magnet to hold a bare original<br />

iPad on a flat refrigerator<br />

surface. A free iPad<br />

2 compatibility kit is<br />

coming soon.<br />
