Moment, known for its range of accessories for Apple's devices, today announced a new partnership with Sara Dietschy, which will see the launch of several new stands designed for the iPhone and iPad. Dietschy helped create the products and was aiming to develop the best possible desk accessories.

Releasing on Kickstarter under Dietschy's new LAB22 brand, the stands are designed feature a premium build, versatility, and adjustability. The Infinity Adjust Stand for the iPad attaches to Apple's modern iPads using a magnetic connection.

Made from aluminum, it has a triple pivot design that can adjust between 5 degrees and 90 degrees to meet multiple workflow needs. There are four hinges to hold the iPad in a stable position, and it can pivot between landscape and portrait orientations. The iPad stand comes in two sizes and is compatible with 12.9-inch iPad Pro models (third-generation and later), the 11-inch iPad Pro, and the iPad Air (fourth and fifth-generation).

There's also a Magnetic Phone Stand with Dual Wireless Charging. As the name suggests, it uses magnets to attach to an iPhone, but it is not MagSafe so charging speeds are limited to 7.5W for iPhones. The charging base offers 5W speeds for AirPods or a secondary iPhone.

As with most magnetic stands, the iPhone can be positioned in landscape or portrait orientation, and it features a USB-C charging plug. There's a pivot for adjusting the viewing angle from 5 degrees to 45 degrees, and it uses strong magnets to keep the iPhone secure. The stand is compatible with MagSafe iPhones.

To go along with the iPhone and iPad stands, LAB22 has also designed a matching headphone stand. Made from aluminum, the headphone stand is designed to hold most over-ear headphone models like the AirPods Max, with a plush microfiber pad offering a cushioned holder.

All three stands can be pre-ordered from Kickstarter for $199 total starting today. The iPad stand is priced at $119, the iPhone stand is priced at $89, and the headphone stand is priced at $59. Shipping is set to begin in January 2023.

Quite nice. Without a newer phone with MagSafe I would imagine the iPhone dock would not charge an iPhone as there would be no way to keep the iPhone in the dock?

Quite niche.

Totally funny: 'Shipping is set to begin in January 2023'

I am more in favor of investing my money in useful technology (e.g. more iPhone/iPad storage) than in any gimmickry.
And besides, the photos are not very informative: Can the viewing angle of the iPad stand be adjusted and do the hinges creak? Or does the base slip away as you type? Will it wobble?
Do you have to hold the stand with one hand when you want to take off the iPhone with the other one...

As holder for a store window display it seems useful.

The "Surface Studio"-style iPad stand is cool but it would be cooler if they had a version that supported the (yet to be announced) M2 iPad Pro MagSafe charging system by routing an invisible wire thru the hinge.

The iPhone stand..did we really need another 7.5W "fake MagSafe" stand? That MagSafe module Apple supplies to OEMs must be really pricey or in short supply, I get it..still.

Very exciting! Good luck everyone involved! My only concern is looking at the iPad stand, when it's down, can I comfortablty rest my palm and write notes? Will it wobble? The videos all show the user drawing but not really resting their wrist anywhere. Very much looking forward to seeing a new great Apple accessories company coming to market!
 
Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a magnetic tablet stand before. Something to look into if my Kabcon ever breaks I guess.
 
Just imagine you get the iPad stand and then, the new iPad Pro released in October have a different magnet array… hopefully this will still be compatible. Anyway, it looks good.

I will never understand why an established company needs to get payment up front through Kickstarter. Make the product and then I'll maybe buy it when I've seen some reviews, etc. Seems reasonable to me.

Also, the headphone stand is neat looking but seems to have no provision for cable management. The product renders all seem to ignore the fact that you'll want your APM charging when they're not in use.

I guess they're using Kickstarter as a way of advertising their product, plus as a bonus, those willing to part with up-front cash help them finance their work.

I'm with you though - this is an established company so let's see what launches, read the reviews, and take it from there.
 
I like the iPad stand a lot, I am always skeptical to back something on Kickstarter especially although Moment already has a decent name for themselves, I think I am going to wait and see what happens after the Kickstarter. If it is a success I do not see why they wouldn't just sell it on their own platform.

Nice, but it doesn't look like you can use the iPad stand with a case on the iPad. I just wouldn't be taking my case off and on to use this. Looks good otherwise though. Just not for me.

Grind and hustle.

Like at least branded merch is alway understandable, it helps market and people like showing support for things they enjoy. Such generic accessories fall so flat to just be lame and embarrassing.
 
Very sexy. But the whole reason I put cases on my Apple baubles is so they stay that way, too. If mass-market/OEM cases are mutually exclusive with this line of stands, that's unfortunate.

I backed the Magflott Magnetic iPad Stand on KS and turned out great.

Some others I have backed didn't turn out so well, like the product isn't good or broke. All my backed projects have been sent out.
