Rokform (www.rokform.com) has released the US$69 RokLock v3 protective case for the new iPad and iPad 2. It’s made in the USA from reinforced high impact polycarbonate and includes a Rokgard screen protector.

The patent-pending RokLock integrated mounting system allows the iPad to be positioned anywhere, according to Bernhard Leitner chief engineer for Rokform. This versatility lets consumers get more from their iPad by making it accessible in places like the car, boat, RV, kitchen cabinet, wall or toolbox, he adds.

Looking ahead, Rokform plans to produce a variety of accessory mounts to complement the RokLock v3, according to Leitner.. Currently, the MagLok magnetic mount kit is available (sold separately) to work with the case and instantly attach the iPad or iPad 2 to any magnetic surface. The MagLok includes six rare earth magnets and fits behind the anti-slip hex grips in the case.
