The iPad Mini is lightweight, slim and oh-so portable, but these qualities do not mean that it's supremely comfortable to use. The SurfacePad has been designed to enhance the usability aspect of this wonderful gadget by making it more ergonomic and adaptable to all sorts of scenarios.
First of all, the Twelve South product performs as a great iPad case, adhering to the back of it instead of clipping on. When the slim cover is closed, it protects both sides of your tablet, but the rear panel is capable of creasing so that it can transform. Bend the SurfacePad backwards and you have the choice of two heights at which to prop your device: for better screen viewing or for optimized typing.
