Hasta La Gadget!

Not quite video game tech, but I feel obligated to do a quick late Friday afternoon post about iBallz, a cool, if vaguely creepily named, iPad “harness.” The case (if you can even call it that), comprised of a long elastic ring with four shock absorbing spheres. You put the ring around your iPad or other similarly sized tablet, with a ball on each corner.

Once in place, the balls serve as a stand for typing (with one ball positioned on the back of the device) or a handle for tablet gaming. The balls will also help cushion the fall, should your tablet accidentally come crashing to the ground.

iBallz (which sports equally unfortunate tagline, “Does your iPad got the Ballz?”) are available now for $19.95 plus shipping from the iBallz site–make sure you’ve got the sound down when you visit, lest you hear what is hands-down the worst techno rap song ever written about an iPad harness.
