If you were having trouble deciding on which case to buy for your iPad, here’s one more to think about. Case-Mate is debuting the Venture case for the iPad, and this one even comes with an included stand. The multi-function Venture looks like a smart, black portfolio on the outside with its polyurethane material and green lining. But the cover also folds over into a prop stand, which should be especially useful when you want to watch movies hands-free on your desk or even that little tray-table on the back of the seat in front of you on an airplane.

Standing Umbrella

January 21st, 2010

This brolly deserves a standing ovation. Pun aside, it’s basically an umbrella given a tripod tip by designer Hironao Tsuboi, so it’s able to stand upright without any support. That would have been previously impossible due to the uneven weight distribution of curved handles on most sunshades. The design process, according to Tsuboi, is complex as it involves casting aluminum into different moulds and determining the optimal spread of the legs. US$49 is a still a tad steep for a parasol (you can buy it online here) and it probably wouldn’t work as well on uneven floors.
