TableTail Review
iPads used to turn heads, but after 63 million sold, give or take, an iPad in the wild isn't the conversation starter that it used to be. But more than any other stand we've tested, Octa's creative TabletTail is novel enough to draw attention at coffee shops, on planes, or anywhere you'll use it--and with its compact size and 6-ounce weight, you'll use it almost everywhere.
The Whale Kit comes in two pieces. Think of the Vacuum Dock as a suction cup on steroids; you'll position it on the back of your device, press it down, and push the wide, flat button five or six times to pump out the air. When it's attached correctly, you can shake it as hard as you can, and it won't budge. But not every position works--if the suction cup doesn't completely cover the Apple logo, for example, the change in texture between the logo and the rest of the iPad's back is enough to prevent a tight seal. To remove it, you pull up on tiny rubber tabs on either side of the Vacuum Dock to break the seal.
The posable rubber Whale Tail clicks onto the Vacuum Dock, and you just bend it to stand your iPad up in whatever position is needed. Since the Vacuum Dock can go on any flat portion of the iPad's back, and the Whale Tail can be bent in tons of different ways, the combo adjusts to more angles than other stands. It can even attach to a smooth, nonporous case (think plastic or metal, not fabric or leather, and no Smart Cover). It works great on flat surfaces like tables as well as softer surfaces like beds and couches, and the tail fins are a natural handle.
The bottom line. It's portable, it's flexible, it works in tons of situations, and it looks great doing it.
