A while age I saw a ridiculously cool project on Kickstarter (the world’s largest funding platform for creative projects) but totally forgot about it until recently. Yesterday it was delivered – the WINGStand. It’s basically a docking-station for you iPad so you can type effortlessly on your Apple Wireless Keyboard.

It consists of just two plastic elements which slide onto the Keyboard. On top of those two elements you can rest your iPad or iPhone and type away. Their website advertises that it also fits with the Samsung GalaxyTab, Blackberry Playbook, HP Touchpad, Acer Iconia, HTC Flyer and Droids. But honestly… who cares?.

Before I owned the WINGStand, writing anything longer than tweets on the iPad was a real pain. I used the Snugg iPad2 Cover with a Flip Stand, but that always seemed a bit shaky and uncomfortable. That is why the iPad is no more than a device for testing my apps, gaming and reading but rarely for working.

That solution was superior in one way: flexibility. The keyboard and iPad were not connected, so I was able to move them apart. That is a nice feature but not really necessary. I’m perfectly fine with my pseudo-laptop – I am even typing this post on it

I am hoping that I will make use of my iPad more often than I did before, now that the typing issue is resolved. Being a developer the WINGStand would be especially cool to use with Codea, which lets you create games and simulations right on your iPad. If you dont know it, go check it out at http://twolivesleft.com/Codea/.

The only thing missing is a case for for all the components so my iPad does not get scratched… If I find something I will definitely write something here – or if you know anything good, let me know in the comments!
