There are countless iPad cases to choose from, but the Torras Ostand case stands out for its thin, stable stands and sturdy construction.
Apple’s iPad line can be used in many configurations thanks to its modular nature. The Torras Ostand iPad case helps make the iPad a better tablet and also offers multiple viewing angles for desktop use.
An iPad case should be as versatile as the device it protects. A simple, flimsy kickstand, thick padding, and clunky Apple Pencil straps are far too often the industry standard.
Torras has found a perfect mix of protective design, thinness and usability with his iPad case.
Torras Ostand iPad Case Design and Features
Apple’s iPad lineup is thinner than ever before, so it’s frustrating to see so many cases severely compromise that thinness for minimal protection. Torras, however, has struck a great balance with the Ostand iPad case.
The case only adds a quarter inch of thickness, so the iPad remains thin and light in your hand. The kickstand is built into the case, so it doesn’t add any bulk.
The Apple Pencil is protected from accidental knocking by a small recess. The design means it still attaches magnetically and is charged, but it won't fall off in your bag.
Redesign of the standard with Torras Ostand
The star of the show is the Tora-Hold dual kickstand hinge. The Torras Ostand iPad case features two integrated kickstands made of aerospace-grade alloy.
The smaller side is great for setting up the iPad as a drafting table. The larger side offers multiple viewing options in portrait and landscape formats.
Other iPad cases with integrated kickstands tend to be bulky and single-use, popping out and holding the iPad up at a less-than-ideal angle that can’t be adjusted.
The Torras Ostand iPad case solves these problems by providing two kickstands. The smaller kickstand can also be used as a handle for better stability when holding or carrying the iPad.
The hinges are tested to provide stability even after 30,000 uses. You'll have a hard time wearing this case out.
Protective layers
The Torras Ostand iPad case material construction is based on multiple layers for extra protection. It is built to be as protective as possible without being too thick or bulky.
The outer frame is made of a shock absorbing TPU material. It has precise cutouts for the speakers, charger and Top Button. The volume buttons are built into the case, so they are protected when pressed against a table or surface.
Even though there’s no front cover or flap, the iPad screen is still protected from certain hazards thanks to a raised bezel around the edge. If the iPad falls and lands flat screen-down, the case will prevent the screen from hitting a flat surface directly.
The back is made of a robust polycarbonate with a nano-oleophobic layer. The exterior has an anti-smudge matte coating, which also helps keep the case attractive.
This case offers ample protection with its multi-layer construction, supported by the side wraps and back cover construction. It offers 12-foot drop protection and even has 360 degrees of protection with built-in air cushioning at the edge.
A five-in-one iPad case solution
Whether you use your iPad as a drawing tablet, a notepad, a vertical Mac display, a movie screen, or a gaming console, you want an enclosure that works great for all of these configurations. Torras Ostand has at least five modes of use for your modular computer.
Open the smaller Kickstand and place the iPad on a table for a sturdy drawing easel or touch gaming surface. The Kickstand won’t accidentally collapse or fold from hand pressure or tapping.
Open the larger kickstand for a more vertical position for better video viewing. It’s easy to find the perfect angle for you, as there’s plenty of wiggle room between the most open and nearly closed extremes.
With the large kickstand open perpendicular to the case, you can prop the iPad up into portrait orientation. This is great when paired with a keyboard for writing or perhaps a FaceTime call on iPads with portrait-facing cameras.
And of course, when it’s time to use the iPad as a tablet, you simply fold it all up and use the iPad as normal. It feels great in the hand and isn’t too heavy — it adds just 0.63 pounds to the 12.9-inch iPad Pro.
