The idea behind Michael Greenberg’s iPad steering wheel accessory is a very good one, but his implementation is a little off.
We can expect to see a lot of accessories for the forthcoming iPad, at least as many plastic widgets as are available for the iPhone. A gamer’s steering wheel will doubtless be one of them, making the slim iPad easier to hold and also making it feel like you’re driving a read car (a real car with no seats, body work, or anything other than a steering wheel, but you get the point).
The trouble with Greenberg’s iDrift is that it is little more than a cheap plastic circle, with four cut-outs so the iPad can be slid inside. It looks more like the packaging a game accessory would come in than the product itself.
Still, Greenberg still seems pretty proud of the thing. Look at the picture and you’ll see he’s signed it.
No iPad Jokes Get The iDrift?
Oxnard, CA, – January 28, 2010 – Scosche Industries, an award-winning innovator of iPod and iPhone accessories, is proud to announce its first iPad accessory the new kickBACK. The shatterproof polycarbonate and rubber hybrid provides superior protection for the Apple's new iPad tablet. The case's patent pending locking kickstand enables both vertical and horizontal viewing and has a low angle setting for an optimal typing position. Scosche also included molded grips on the back of the kickBACK for more secure handling.
"We pride ourselves at consistently being one of the first accessories manufacturers to market with leading edge products following an iPhone, iPod, or now iPad announcement," said Kas Alves, executive vice president of Scosche Industries. "It's that ability to react quickly without sacrificing quality that has helped us develop necessary accessories like the new kickBACK."
Like all of Scosche's kickBACK cases the kickBACK ships with a screen protector and cleaning cloth. The kickBACK will ship in early-mid Spring 2010 and is the first of an entire line of accessories Scosche has planned.
