What is BakBone

Manufactured in America, the BakBone is an elegant, practical accessory that enhances mobile tablet computing. It securely adheres to the back of a tablet or a hard case or cover by a magnetic system. By simply inserting a finger through the ring or slipping your fingers around the arched side-profile, you can comfortably hold the tablet and smoothly rotate between landscape and portrait perspectives. Its ergonomics alleviate hand fatigue.

If de-Boned, the affixed magnetic disc on the back of the tablet presents a minimal profile, so thin that most accessory covers will slide right over it.

Multifunctional

 Works as a multi-grip handle
Sets down as a tablet stand – just at the right angle for typing

Seamless & Sanitizable

Unlike many tablet accessories, there are no seams or rough textures to catch
dirt or germs. BakBone’s surfaces can be easily cleaned to hospital standards using
sanitizers or standard cleaning supplies. 

Reduced Fatigue and Dropped Tablets

BakBone enables extend use without tiring. Using BakBone, many find their tablet
easier to hold with one hand than it was with two. The sure grip prevents slippage
and dropped tablets.

Compatible Devices & Cases

While BakBone is compatible with most tablets and many tablet cases,
there are a few exceptions

 

 

Restrictions

The glue back on the base may not adhere to rough or uneven surfaces of tablets and cases
The magnet may interfere with input on digital stylus and Wacom-based active stylus technology for products like Microsoft Surface Pro and Samsung Galaxy Note.

WILL THE MAGNET AFFECT THE HARD DRIVE OR ELECTRONICS?

Our neodymium magnet system is safe for tablets or computers using solid state hard drives [SSD], flash memory, and styli using capacitative or bluetooth technology. If your tablet incorporates an active digitizer layer for precision stylus input (eg. Wacom technology,) like the Microsoft Surface Pro or the Samsung Galaxy Note, the magnets may interfere with the stylus input.

After extensive testing with magnets much stronger than those in the BakBone, we've found that only the accuracy of the digital compass [which is entirely unrelated to the Maps app] in some devices is temporarily degraded, requiring more frequent calibration.

MAGNET INFORMATION

Neodymium magnets are the strongest permanent rare earth magnets. Stacking two of them essentially doubles the attraction. Also, magnets can adversely affect credit cards,  standard hard disk drives, video tapes, cardiac pacing devices and some older display monitors, to name a few technologies. Please note that normal usage of the Bakbone as per the instructions provided should not come into contact with the aforementioned items. We offer this information as a matter of disclosure. Standard precautions should be attended. BakBone assumes no liability for damages to or aberrant behavior of such devices (or anatomy).
