iPad/iPad 2/New iPad (Gen. 3)

A Tabletop Home Just for iPad.

Designed exclusively for iPad, the BookArc Stand is a beautiful slice of heavy gauge steel that provides a perfect perch for the latest stroke of genius from Apple. BookArc for iPad uses a soft silicone, reversible insert to hold iPad in four different positions. Four positions that let you use your iPad just the way you want to.

Easy Does It.

BookArc makes it easy to interact with iPad. Just reach out and touch, swipe or pinch the iPad touchscreen to navigate and operate your iPad. When you’re ready to play games or use apps that require more aggressive handling or movement, just grab iPad out of your BookArc and go. When you’re done, set iPad back in your BookArc to store and charge. Your iPad will feel right at home sitting in BookArc for iPad.

Choose Tilted or Straight Up Positions.

BookArc for iPad gives you a choice of four different positions. In “work mode,” iPad sits at a 75-degree reclined angle in both portrait and landscape positions, and provides access to the home button. In “storage mode” iPad sits upright in both portrait and landscape positions, perfect for charging and using your iPad as a stylish photo frame. No matter what position you’re in, you always have access to the charging port.

Can Your Dock Go Widescreen?

BookArc gives you the option to view movies, photos and apps in widescreen, the way they’re meant to be seen, something other iPad docks can’t do. Place iPad in BookArc and pair it with the Apple Wireless Keyboard. You’ll have an instant work station for tackling spreadsheets in Numbers and taming your inbox in Mail. Or use landscape position to view those amazing vacation photos, movies or your favorite online webisodes.

Way More Than a Handheld Computer.

BookArc blows up the possibilities of your iPad. Park it on your desk to watch streaming news feeds. Set BookArc on the kitchen counter and swipe through a cookbook. Place BookArc in your Home Theater, connect the Apple Digital AV Adapter and watch your iTunes movies on your flat-screen TV. Place iPad on the mantel and enjoy photo slideshows while charging. BookArc helps you imagine even more wonderful uses for the iPad in your life.

Elevated for Easy Access.

It’s so easy to charge your iPad while docked in BookArc. That’s because BookArc is elevated to give you plenty of room to connect and charge your iPad at rest or play. When you’re ready to go, disconnect the cable and you’re on your way. It couldn’t be any easier.
