REMORA: Holds Styluses & Pens Safely To iPad Smart Covers.

Posted in Commentary with tags on August 17, 2015 by itnerd

Introducing Remora—a stylus & pen holder that attaches to a Smart Cover’s magnets. With a Remora people a stylus can be kept close at hand, is easy to put away, and isn’t likely to be lost.

One-Two Punch: The Remora’s patent-pending design, with its arched crown and tapered body, can hold one large stylus or pen, or two regular-size writing instruments.

Fits most stylus sizes: The Remora works with a wide range of styluses (capacitive & electronic), most ballpoint and fountain pens, and mechanical pencils too.

Magnetic Attraction: The Remora’s metal baseplate is attracted to the magnets in Smart Covers, yet the Remora itself isn’t magnetic and won’t work as a refrigerator magnet.

Get a Grip: A Remora provides a comfortable hand grip when carrying an iPad and can be easily repositioned as a finger grip for reading.

Synergy: A Smart Cover with a Remora attached can still fold into a display stand.

Currently live on Kickstarter, early backers can pre-order a single Remora for $20–25, or a Remora can be bundled with a black Hand Stylus (Steve’s King previous very successful Kickstarter project) for $35–45. This is an improved Hand Stylus with a more responsive tip, a gold-plated nib, dual air channels, and a stronger connection between the knurled finger grip and barrel.
