The Kensington PowerBack Battery Case with Kickstand and Dock is a pretty interesting looking new accessory for the iPad. Its versatility alone is eye catching, though I’m not sure about the ‘protection’ element of the pitch for it below.
The Kensington PowerBack™ Battery Case with Kickstand and Dock slips over the back of your iPad to provide power, protection and a convenient prop. With up to 5 extra hours of power, you”ll have plenty of juice for app use, web surfing, and movie watching. The 3-position kickstand even holds your iPad hands-free in typing, portrait or landscape modes.
It does look quite handy as a charger plus stand though, and that’s a combo I’ve not seen before for the iPad. Then again, due to the iPad’s excellent battery life, I haven’t seen many chargers for it at all.
Here are some of the PowerBack’s features:
- Built-in 4400mAh battery provides up to 5 extra hours of power for app use, web surfing, movie watching and more
- 3-position steel kickstand holds your iPad handsfree in typing, portrait or landscape modes
- Soft touch finish case protects your iPad from bumps and bruises
- Battery fuel gauge LED
- Micro USB charge and sync port lets you charge and sync without removing the PowerBack™
- Built-in speaker deflectors for clear, crisp sound
