Trubador: Hands-free iPad case
I don’t know about you, but I sometimes feel like everyone in the world has an iPad case project going on. However, there are some good ones out there, like the Trubador. It’s primarily targeted at musicians who need a way to hold an iPad as if it were a musical instrument. There’s a shoulder strap that works to keep your iPad positioned so that you can concentrate on playing GarageBand or other instruments with both hands.
Trubador could be helpful in other markets as well; the entrepreneurs behind the project cite salespeople, convention workers and reporters as potential buyers. The project is relatively new, with 67 days to go to raise $15,000. At this time, the project has a good start with 28 backers and $1,032 pledged.
Check out the video demo of the Trubador in action below, and read more to see what other projects are hot or not this week.
