iPad Stand by Octa Makes a Great Stocking Stuffer!

Are you looking for a great gift for the technology lover in your life? With so many options out there, a bit of guidance can go a long way.

The British tech review magazine PC Pro has included the Monkey Kit as part of their Holiday Gift Guide. Along with many great products, they list the flexible iPad stand as a great stocking filler for this holiday season!

Founded in 1994, PC Pro is a monthly publication that reaches 42,115 readers monthly. It is one of several technology magazines put out by Dennis Publishing. While they mainly Windows-focused, PC Pro does include some Apple content.

Along with their print issues, articles and reviews can be found on their site www.pcpro.co.uk. They also publish a weekly podcast available  both on their website and the iTunes store.

They state “Octa’s TabletTail Monkey Kit is one of the most unusual tablet stands we’ve seen. It attaches to your device via a vacuum-pump base, and has a poseable “tail” that can be bent like a giant pipe cleaner to act as a stand, or wrapped around nearby objects. It held our test tablets solidly in place, and its tail makes it possible to create a sturdy, flexible desk or kitchen worktop stand.”

MonkeyTail iPad Stand Now Available in the UK

The Monkey Kit iPad stand is now available in the UK, exclusively at Selfridges. After the MonkeyTail was introduced at the Digital Winter event in London, Matthew Jarvis of PCR wrote a review of the product. The Monkey Kit is also available online at Selfridges.com.
