The PDT and HumanToolz partnership began with a clearly defined goal: to develop a stand worthy of the iPad that has the same Apple quality, fit and finish.

HumanToolz iPad Stand

The product requirements were long, but two important features were to develop a hinge that supports virtually any angle and can easily be switched between landscape and portrait viewing.

Product Requirements

HumanToolz iPad stand with minimal profile

Collaboration

PDT’s designers and engineers collaborated and developed a minimalist design that is easy to install; it simply snaps into place. The low profile design works in harmony with the iPad and was designed to improve virtually every use making it an enduring companion to the iPad, yet it can easily be removed.

HumanToolz iPad Stand supports optimal viewing angles

Improved Angles

The HumanToolz Mobile Stand supports optimal viewing angles providing users with improved comfort and posture and can be used on virtually any surface. Plus the stand improves how well the iPad feels and fits in your hands.

Precision hinge technology for HumanToolz iPad Stand

Precision Hinge Technology

Its built-in kickstand uses the same precision hinge technology found on MacBook Air notebooks.

Sturdy, rigid, and durable HumanToolz iPad stand

High Performance

Chosen for its strength, rigidity and durability, the HumanToolz Mobile Stand is cast out of a single piece of high performance aluminum. The 4-corner, high strength aluminum design protects each corner and prevents the entire rear of the iPad from making contact with damaging surfaces. The aluminum finish matches the back of the iPad precisely.

Accommodating Functions
