The unending flow of new accessories and applications for apple products is truly staggering! But the plethora of options only makes it more exciting when a product really stands out as something special.
I recently came across one such product – the Crux360. The biggest criticisms of previous cases for the iPad are all addressed in this new offering by CruxCase, a company based out of Utah.
First, previous cases that doubled as stands were generally considered a good idea but ultimately too flimsy to be relied upon in most ‘on-the-go’ 
environments (what the iPad was intended for). The Crux360 is a hard case (a so called ‘clamshell’ style case), and utilizes laptop/netbook style hinges to ensure it stays at the angle you position it at.
Second, the case includes a QWERTY keyboard built in. This means you don’t have to juggle a second item on your lap should you find that addition more convenient for the apps you favor. As amazing as the iPad’s touch screen is, inputing anything more than a few words is considered by many to be impractical.
CruxCase also nailed the various positions the Crux360 can take. The images at left show, top to bottom: Laptop Mode, Movie Mode, Tablet Mode and Carry Mode.
To top it off, CruxCase managed to do all this while maintaining the ultra-sexy design that is quintessentially Apple.
Very exciting!
