Just mobile makes some
of the most innovative and cleverly engineered Apple accessories you can buy,
and you’ll covet them just for the way they look and feel. But the underlying purpose they all have in common is to improve the way you use
your Apple devices.
Each model in the
Just Mobile range, of which we feature a selection here, brings its own
benefits to your desktop, making your favourite Apple products even more
usable.
Mtable
Mtable, nominated
for a German Design Award 2012, is a multi-purpose desktop stand crafted from
solid aluminium to complement Apple’s hardware. Use it as a laptop stand,
raising your MacBook’s screen above desk level, or as a monitor stand, providing
space to push your MacBook underneath while using desktop peripherals or to
stow your keyboard and make room for papers in front. A mesh of die-cut holes
at the rear ensures your MacBook won’t overheat in the confined space, and the
top is wide and strong enough to support a Thunderbolt Display or 27in iMac.
There’s no more stylish way to keep your desk clear for work. The Mtable costs $75
from just-mobile.com.
Encore
Encore is a
beautifully simple stand for any model of iPad. Designed by the award-winning
team at Tools Design in tools design in Copenhagen, it consists of a solid
aluminium base ring and a hinged rubberised arm. Adjust the arm to choose the
perfect stand- up viewing angle for videos, or fold it down for rock-solid
typing support. The soft finish means there’s no danger of scratches to your
iPad, which stays firmly in place in both portrait and landscape orientations.
With top-quality components and a precision- engineered hinge, the Encore will
help you get more out of your iPad, encouraging you to use it around the home
or office instead of leaving it languishing in a bag. The Encore costs $62 from
just-mobile.com.
Alupad
Alupad proves
brilliantly that less is more. As much as you might like to clear objects off
your desktop, a good quality mouse pad is essential to smooth tracking. Just
Mobile’s solution is crafted from a single slab of anodised aluminium wrapped
in a seamless white plastic chosen for its mouse-friendly properties. Another
Tools Design triumph, the Alupad won a coveted Red Dot Design Award in 2010 -
and not many mouse pads can say that. The Alupad costs £36.95 from
just-mobile.com.
Alucube mini
Alucube mini lets you tame stray cables without adding to the clutter you’re
trying to cut. Sculpted from a seamless chunk of high-grade aluminium, it
houses a rubber- lined slot that keeps your wires just where they're meant to
be. Use it on your desk to keep things tidy, or in your bag or pocket for
tangle-free cords. A pack of two Alucube minis, with adhesive patches to pin them
down, costs $19 from just-mobile.com.
Drawer
Drawer is a
monitor stand and storage unit for when you really want to keep your desktop
tidy. The sleek aluminium case takes the weight of your iMac or Thunderbolt
Display and guards a subtle black plastic tray in which your iPhone, iPod or
USB drive can stay tucked out of sight - but still connected, if you wish,
through the two cable holes at the rear. And by raising the screen to your eye
line, you’ll make your Mac more ergonomic at the same time. The Drawer costs $112
from just-mobile.com.
Upstand
Upstand and Xtand
pro are designed to raise your iPad or MacBook Pro respectively to a
more comfortable viewing height. Crafted from Just Mobile’s signature
aluminium, each has rubber grips to hold your precious Apple hardware firmly
without scratching and allows air to circulate freely around the device. The
Xtand Pro also comes with a lower tubular support for use at typing height.
Both recipients of design awards, the UpStand costs $51 and Xtand Pro $88 from
just-mobile.com.
