Carbon fiber is awesome, it not only looks great but it’s tough.

 

(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Joy Factory, Inc. today unveiled a suite of digital companion products to complement the Apple® iPad™ 2. A series of carbon fiber mounting systems, which range from a new C-Clamp to specialty Tripod-Compatible Mount, and iPad 2-Compatible Valet and Tournez line, allow users to stay active and engaged with their smart tablets in their daily lives.

“The Joy Factory has developed its latest suite of digitally-driven lifestyle products to support the expansive ways some of the 44 million iPad users leverage their tablet for fun or work and to add a little joy to the experience”

“The Joy Factory has developed its latest suite of digitally-driven lifestyle products to support the expansive ways some of the 44 million iPad users leverage their tablet for fun or work and to add a little joy to the experience,” said Sampson Yang, president of The Joy Factory and consumer electronics veteran. “Our new product line is exquisitely designed to transform the way users work, play and travel, creating a truly ‘iPad anywhere’ experience.”

Carbon Fiber Craftsmanship Offers Cool Styling, Sturdy Support

The Joy Factory’s product suite of mounting solutions are constructed of carbon fiber for maximum durability. Featuring sleek auto racing-type styling, the carbon fiber is light weight yet provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio to sturdily support the iPad 2. Flexible in design, the ball and socket system works in sync with the articulated arm to rotate 360 degrees for greater viewing angles in landscape and portrait modes and retracts easily for quick storage. The energy absorption properties of the carbon fiber also work to eliminate any potential shaking while the iPad may be in operation, for example, while mounted in a vehicle.

Snap-n-Roll Enables Extension of iPad 2 Use, Provides a Full Digital Lifestyle Solution

In developing the carbon fiber line, The Joy Factory team integrated the company’s signature Snap-n-Roll™ design. This functionality allows users to snap and release their iPad 2 into the removable protective hard shell case and slide it into the mounting brackets quickly and without hassle. All mounting systems are compatible with The Joy Factory’s professional Folio360II to allow users to further leverage their iPad 2 in a professional portfolio-style case and stand.
