A project currently on Kickstarter provides a range of tablet stands, which can be used on either work surfaces or in your car. Currently, all parts of the Steelie tablet stands are created by a team of four engineers in their workshop and use magnets to hold the stand in place when required. Watch the video after the jump to see it in action and see how the Steelie could benefit your tablet usage.
Steelie is available as a smaller stand for use in the car and a larger tablet version for use on a desk or counter. The smaller one retails for US$30 and the tabletop is $60.
“STEELIE is an innovative patent-pending system to hold your tablet, phone or any other device and freely position it how you like. The unique ball-and-socket design magnetically connects and allows you to easily adjust the device to your preferred position. A simple tug on the device releases the connection.”
Versatility and Practicality
The Steelie tablet stands are designed with versatility and practicality in mind. The smaller stand, ideal for car use, ensures that your device is securely held in place, making it perfect for navigation or hands-free calls. The larger stand, suitable for desks or countertops, provides a stable base for your tablet, making it an excellent choice for work, cooking, or entertainment purposes. The magnetic ball-and-socket design allows for a full range of motion, so you can easily switch between portrait and landscape modes or adjust the angle for optimal viewing.
Engineering and Design
The engineering team behind Steelie has put significant effort into ensuring that the stands are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The use of high-quality materials and precision engineering means that the stands are durable and reliable. The magnets used in the Steelie stands are strong enough to hold your device securely but are also designed to be easily detachable when needed. This balance of strength and ease of use is a testament to the thoughtful design process.
