Show/Hide all answers
Which devices are compatible with Magnus?
Magnus is made for iPad 2 or later.
So the new iPad?
Yeah, that one. 3rd generation iPad. Works nicely!
I don't see any pictures with cases. Are they supported?
In the spirit of striking minimalism, Magnus will only work with unfettered iPads. However, protective skins are ok.
Magnus is out of stock. When can it ship?
Because of the labor-intensive manufacturing process, there is a limit to how many we can make. Orders will be filled on a first-come first-served basis.
Will the magnets attract other beautiful people?
Look sharp, keep you head up, and you never know.
Does Magnus support portrait mode?
Magnus takes advantage of the magnets in your iPad, providing a strong connection between Magnus and iPad in landscape mode. Sure, you can carefully set iPad 2 in portrait mode - just don't breathe.
What's the point of a stand that you can't even see?
Opinions will differ, but we believe that reducing the visual noise in your environment promotes a certain clarity of thought.
Sweet Dandy Checkers!
We have just finished making a dandy of an iPad stand.
Sure, it's incredibly secure and has magnets and all that cool stuff, but let's be honest here - we're only selling it because it looks super hot.
This isn't one of those portable travel stands. Leave it on your desk, ok?
Magnus works beautifully with unfettered iPads (iPad 2 or later). Protective skins on the back are no problem.
The hand-finishing does limit our production speed, so stock levels may be low for the first few weeks.

Are magnets magic?
The front of the iPad shows no visible support. How can this be?
It's in the name. We think of magnets as magic; maybe you do, too. In any case, Magnus uses a strong magnetic link to hold the iPad. All this while remaining completely out of the way.

The inside story
Magnus is first machine-crafted from pure aluminum and then hand-finished using the latest manufacturing techniques.
After that, customized magnets are installed into the base, and rubberized feet are fitted to the bottom surface.
A lot of hard work goes into each of these, and it shows.
ingredients: machined, recyclable aluminum, nickel-plated neodymium, recyclable plastics, recyclable carton, PET-coated paper fiber.

[Industrial design geek-out warning]
Our designers targeted a reduced silhouette.
Viewed from the side, you see only the iPad's tilt, and a flat plate on the desk. From there, the engineering took over.
Magnus may look like it's defying gravity, but the magnetics keep it secure. Make sure to use two hands when removing your iPad. Magnus will try to hold on and may lift off the desk.
