Matias releases iRizer stand for iPad

Posted by | Sep 8, 2010 | |

Matias has released the iRizer for iPad (http://matias.ca/irizer), an US$39.95, ultra-slim stand that’s adjustable to viewing angles from 20 to 70 degrees. And it packs flat so it’s portable.

“One thing we’re especially happy about is the material used to make this iRizer model,” Edgar Matias, CEO of Matias, says. “It’s a special organic composite, that’s 45% plant fiber.
