Human factors behind the Kowala.

It can be a real struggle to continually elevate your hands and a chore to constantly grip the iPad for stability especially for long periods of time. These are two key fundamental ways of negotiating the form factor and are the human factors that can limit your productivity with the iPad. We designed the Kowala based on these two human factors. The Kowala is a lapboard and stand solution for the iPad 2 and iPad (3) that will allow you to rest your hand on an expanded work surface for support, gain stability with the stand and adjust the viewing angle to best suit your body's position. The Kowala simply transforms your iPad seamlessly into a spacious work surface making the experience transparent and more comfortable.

Freedom to work anywhere.

The Kowala compliments and maintains the true essence of the iPad as a mobile device. Whether it
be on your lap or on your desk, you'll have the same freedom to work and create anywhere but with more comfort and stability wherever inspiration strikes you.

Perfect viewing angle.

The Kowala includes a portable, adjustable stand that lets you view your iPad from 11 to 60 degrees.
All adjustments are made using one button so it's easy to get the perfect viewing angle. It allows you to rest the board on the stand in either landscape or portrait mode making the solution versatile and adjustable for any task.

Ideas can come fast. You won't miss a beat.

Getting your iPad into the Kowala is almost as quick as waking up your device. Simply lift the work surface and pop in your iPad you won't miss a beat. Behind the work surface is a stylus compartment, access to plug in your docking cable, headphone, isight camera and power button.

Store it.

The Kowala comes with a storage bag for keeping the board and stand protected when you're done using it. The Kowala and stand packs small and flat so you can store it by your desk or take it with you when you travel.
