Yes you are right . I ordered them as soon as I saw them in Helene's shop ( I think it was the first day because nobody had mentioned them yet…. I  wanted to be the first to have one in Australia so I kept mum about it .)… I ordered some for myself and think  they will arrive in the next few days. Maybe today. I wanted this Kribbitt so bad so PM'd Helene to ask if they were as good as and she said it was the very best she had ever seen. I have bought two hopeless useless stands in the past and this one looks amazing.
 
This is a brand new product just invented so no one will know about it. It looks so versatile and can be used for every device. I also,like that it is a local product in Canada made by a known inventor and not a Chinese knockoff with crap manufacturing. This guy makes each one himself and he made it for his children so it must be solid and something young and old can use easily. It is flexible so you would be able to type at your best angle plus it does not move when you type due to the non something or other rubber like stuff covering the hard wire something. Anyway when I get my three I will but a pic here.  If it is as good as then I will order two more for gifts because everyone I know with a iPad, iPad mini or  reader will want it so if I were you I would order two now so you have it when you get home.

Yes the mini recharges much faster and is great for the handbag for travelling and for shopping when you are out. Easier to type on than the phone but I love my iPad at home for business stuff  and for watching missed  TV shows in bed.  I love that this stand will make it hands free as I really get tired holding it as I do with my Kindle. Hard to grab that glass of wine while watching a show and reaching out!.

Not mentioning it on the shopping thread because those crazy girls might empty the shop when they  see it. I have watched all the VDO's on You Tube and have read all the stuff I could find on Kribbitt  man Paul and  really want him to succeed . It is really a clever thing. Helene told me she has met him, likes him and that is good enough for me. Also I think he is charity minded as well so it is nice to give him support

Well they arrived today and they Are everything Helen's said they were plus plus. So ordered another two.

Here are the three.



After reading the instructions I opened the thing. Because of the way they are flat packed you have to stand it up and press the feet to the table to get the feet right to lose any wobble. Easy as. DH did his without  reading the

The beauty of this thing is that it is totally stable and you can press hard plus push hard and won't move. Great for typing. Very flexible and you can move it to any angle. Can't wait to use it on the side of the bath.

I even had it on my hand upside down. I am confident in this thing never letting go of my iPads or kindle.





I am glad I ordered my five before it is discovered. Greedy I am. Don't think she will run out but you never know. Got here in about 10 days.

Love it to bits. Best IPad gadget I have ever seen or bought.

Gert, looks great. I saw them yesterday, when looking at Helene's blog

[judydawn]

Hally, is that the same brand you originally bought or did they replace it with something better?

[cookie1]

Gert I also looked at it and thought seriously about it.
I like the look of yours all set up. I haven't bought a stand for mine as I don't want to knock it and have it fall and break  thanks for the information.

[gertbysea]

Cookie you can actually push the thing hard and it won't move.  I am typing on my knee with two hands which is a  bonus. Today I took my Kribbitt and mini out for a trial shopping and I rested it on my handbag in the shopping trolly and was able to use two hands to type some stuff and search the forum for ingredients while I did my shopping . Don't know what the coating is made of. Looks like rubber  not like plastic and feels sort , of like a wet suit.  You can move the feet and cradle bits to suit not easily but it does move. Makes it really tight and really confident it will hold. Because of the design I think you could drop it and it it landed on it,s back or front  it would be ok. The edges of the iPad not so much but that is typical. I am leaving mine in their protective s covers anyway so feel very secure  all around. This would,be a good thing for small children and teenagers who are careless not to mention old farts like DH and me.

I would love to know how Helene found this thing and if she knew the inventor first.
