Vogel Announces Mount & Cover System for iPad

Vogel’s announced today at IFA 2010 Expo in Berlin, Germany, the Vogel’s "Mount & Cover System for iPad", a unique mounting solution for protecting and mounting your iPad at home, work and when traveling.  Drawing on Vogel’s proven experience in secure mounting systems, Vogel’s Mount & Cover System for iPad safely mounts Apple’s highly successful iPad tablet wherever it’s needed: on walls, tables, desks, or in cars for easy accessibility and usability at all times. 

The Vogel’s Mount & Cover System for iPad lets you use the iPad as an in-car entertainment system; in the living room as a sound controller, to watch DVDs, news or weather stations; in the kitchen to view iBook recipes; or in the bedroom to listen to music or as an alarm clock.

The Vogel’s Mount & Cover System for iPad includes the following products:

Vogel’s BaseCover

• Cover protects the back of the iPad with a soft tactile coating, making it extremely easy to hold.
  
• Reverses to protect the front of your iPad and its buttons, especially useful when you are traveling or when placing the iPad in a bag or purse.
  
• Special patent-pending aluminum connector enables the iPad (with BaseCover attached) to be connected to a range of Vogel’s mounts, including the WallMount, TableMount, and CarMount (more info below).
  
• Adds minimal additional bulk to the iPad.
  
• Additional mounting/cover solutions will be added in the future.

• Displays in either portrait or landscape mode.
  

Vogel’s patent-pending Mount & Cover System for iPad sets the standard for mounting systems for current and future iPads and other tablet PCs.  It opens the way for mounting personal screens anywhere, building upon Vogel’s rich experience in stylish design, advanced functionality, high quality and expertise in mounting flat screen TVs.
