Twelve South

Instead of asking what an iPad can do for you, why not ask what it can’t? (The short answer: Not much.)  Case in point: In the January issue of Food & Wine, sommeliers (also known as restaurant wine specialists) at New York City’s South Gate Restaurant are using a custom app on the iPad as a tool for customers to browse the house wine list.

So what happens to the iPad after a customer selects the perfect chardonnay for the table? It goes back into that curved aluminum stand we all love, BookArc for iPad! BookArc allows sommeliers to easily remove the iPad when needed, and becomes a sculptural piece of art when it’s time to store the tablet.

It’s an honor to have one of your products featured on a prominent site’s Holiday Gift List, but two? You like us, you really, really like us! (Or you like our products, actually — which is awesome!)

Macgasm just published its “Holiday Gift Ideas: iPad Lover Edition” and included TWO Twelve South products!

First, they included our BookBook:

And such kind words:

“There’s a slew of iPad cases on the market, but I haven’t had one that’s turned as many heads as the Book Book from Twelve South. Early on, I walked into an Apple Store, and then for some reason had to pull out an iPad. The sales clerk gasped when he saw it. The pictures don’t do this thing justice. It’s a beauty…it’s probably the best looking iPad case I’ve come across. Personally, I prefer the Red edition.” Thanks — we like the red one too!

And then, they selected our Compass:

“Twelve South is making the list again, and no, they aren’t paying us. This iPad Stand is a thing of beauty. It’s well made and very easily complements your iPad. As the picture below demonstrates, it packs up nicely, and will fit quite well in your laptop bag. It’s really hard to go wrong with anything from Twelve South this holiday season. They have a quality lineup.”

So here’s what we’re thinking: If you know someone who a) has an iPad, or b) will receive or buy one this holiday season, why not c) stuff their stocking (OK, well, BookBook won’t fit unless your stockings are Santa-sized) with a BookBook for protection, a Compass for the road, and our BookArc for home? That’s a gift idea sure to jingle some bells!

How’s this for some beautiful coverage of a few Twelve South faves that start with a “B”? Thanks, Stuff magazine, for spreading the word about Twelve South products in India!

Get yours here, just in time for the holidays…

iPad4Legal‘s Patrick DiDomenico is a true Apple die-hard fan (aren’t we all?) with a history of using Twelve South products. He took our Compass to the ILTA Conference in Las Vegas last summer, and blogged about how useful it was.

He’s got a BackPack for his iMac (though sadly no Steve Jobs action figure on it). And now, he’s given our BookArc for iPad a test drive. Thanks, Patrick!

“…BookArc is just as elegant and beautifully designed as the other Twelve South products. The device is simplicity itself. It’s made from a single piece of curved stainless steel with a slat cut in the center to hold the iPad. Silicone feet protect the table top from damage.”

and…

“Some great ideas for the the BookArc include: (1) pairing it with an Apple Wireless Keyboard to use it as a work station;  (2) in the kitchen, use it to hold your virtual cookbook when following recipes; (3) use it to hold your iPad to display pictures during holiday gatherings.”

“More to the point of this blog, however, I fully expect to see iPads resting in BookArcs in law firm reception areas in the very near future.  Firms could use them to impress their clients while waiting to meet with their attorneys.”

The verdict? (Cue a Law & Order style “dah dah DAHH”)

“All in all, the BookArc is a solid addition to the Twelve South accessory line up.”

Just received a photo of our BookArc for iPad being used as a stand for iPad at Fnac Champs Elysées in Paris. As the largest entertainment retail chain in France, Fnac is known for having what’s new and innovative, and we think the iPad and BookArc for iPad fit that description perfectly.

As parents of young kids, we are uniquely appreciative of certain apps for the iPad that make learning fun. We are big fans of some of the Montessorium apps in particular. There are so many ways in which iPads can benefit the classroom!

So we were delighted to learn that the teachers behind WiredEducator.com like our BookArc for iPad for their own classrooms!

Check out their video review (it follows their review of a fun-looking Etch-a-Sketch hard shell case for iPad):

His Dad, theipadenthusiast.com,  has this to say about why be bought a BookArc for his iPad:

• “So I could prop the iPad up and place it in front of my Apple Bluetooth”
• “So I could prop the iPad next to my MacBook Pro and use the iPad as an extra screen”
• “So I could run a photo slideshow or clock/timer”

These are all good reasons, if you ask us. Whether you’re in Des Moines or Abu Dhabi, there are plenty of reasons why you need the best-selling BookArc for your iPad. Get yours now.

PS: FREE SHIPPING is still available for a limited time, but you’d better hurry.

This is easily the most impressive external gallery of BookArc for iPad photos I have ever seen. 59! well done, informative shots of our favorite Tabletop iPad stand.

Also clearly illustrated is the 15-degree viewing angle provided with the reversible insert. If you thought that the BookArc only displays the iPad vertically – have a look at these amazing shots and see for yourself.

Kinda cool. South Gate on Central Park South in NYC now has a custom app for the house wine list that it presents to its customers on an iPad. It also uses a slick new iPad stand to present it with – our very own BookArc for iPad. The BookArc seems to fit into its posh setting quite well. Be sure to stop in next time you’re in NYC and need a quick glass of wine.

The great team at the all Apple news site, ModMyi.com took a look at the BookArc for iPad this week. They concluded that of all the stands for iPad, the BookArc for iPad was their “absolute favorite”. They also mention my favorite thing to hear a reviewer say – that they didn’t just review the product and move on – they love the product because they use it every day! Check it:

There’s a few things that are always on my desk. Speakers, a couple Apple Cinema Displays, a couple USB hubs, a couple iPhone Xtand’s, a couple KidRobot toys, and my BookArc for iPad from TwelveSouth. There’s a bunch of products that exist to hold your iPad when you’re not holding it. Sure. My absolute favorite is the BookArc though
