February 2, 2012Fortune.com noticed Octa’s Vacuum Dock + WhaleTail tablet stand out of the variety of tablet accessories present the first day of Macworld. This multi-functional accessory can be used as a tablet stand, handle, and grip.

To use the WhaleTail as a tablet stand, set your device on the desired surface and adjust the WhaleTail to whatever angle you’de like. This is a tablet stand you can adjust to any angle, high or low, and use on any plane, horizontal or vertical.
