Fairfield, CT -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/29/2013 -- In their May 17th "Digital Crave" shopping blog, Yahoo! included the new ThiPad thigh-mounted tablet stand in a piece titled "The Worst iPad Accessories—Ever."

"And they did us a favor," says Jerry McTigue, creator of the ThiPad. "Because the hundreds of readers who went to the ThiPad.com website to see just how bad a product it was, actually discovered how good it was. And they started buying it."

McTigue believes that if the ThiPad can gain converts with horrible publicity like that, there's no telling what it would do if given a fair evaluation. He maintains that the so-called reporter never bothered to obtain a sample of the product and try it out. "Rather, he based his snide judgements on website images and a pre-prejudiced need to round up targets for a snark attack," says McTigue. "This is the kind of shoot-from-the-hip, junk journalism that's typical of the Internet, intended to throw red meat to ridicule-hungry trolls. Yet it can be potentially devastating to people making an honest living creating products that deliver real value to users."

The ThiPad Hands-Free Tablet Stand straps securely to the leg just above the knee, with a non-slip surface that snugly holds any-sized tablet computer, including iPads, Kindles, Nooks, Androids, smartphones, and other mobile devices, in their cases or out. It provides hours of comfortable viewing, working, typing, playing games, or practicing with a musical instrument, without tying up the hands or tiring out the arms.

McTigue invites reputable journalists and media organizations to request a review sample of the product so they can give it a fair and impartial test run. "Then they can love it, hate it, pan it, or praise it, as they see fit," he says. "But we think they'll be surprised at how securely the new ThiPad fits and how beautifully it performs."

The ThiPad Hands-Free Tablet Stand straps securely to the user's leg when seated, allowing them to operate all types of mobile devices virtually anywhere, for hours of comfortable and convenient use.

Fairfield, CT -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/03/2013 -- It's called The ThiPad Hands-Free Tablet Stand. Strapped securely to the leg when the user is seated, it snugly accommodates all sized iPads, Android tablets, Kindles, Nooks, and other mobile devices, even in their cases, for hours of comfortable working, reading, typing, playing games, or practicing with musical instruments.

Unlike other tablet stands, which actually require another "stand" such as a table, desktop or platform to function, The ThiPad can be worn anywhere at any time, freeing up users to access their devices without tying up their hands or tiring out their arms holding them. The ThiPad is also smaller, lighter and safer to use than bulky "lap" stands that aren't secured and thus can be unstable and cumbersome by comparison.

"The ThiPad is made of a special, extra-firm foam that's remarkably lightweight and durable," says Jerry McTigue, a writer and guitarist who developed The ThiPad so he could pursue those interests with his iPad more productively. "Its surface is non-slip. Even bare metal devices won't slide."

McTigue notes that people are surprised at how compact and sturdy The ThiPad is the first time they click it on. Two 1-1/2" wide X 30" long adjustable straps with parachute buckles ensure a secure and comfortable fit. Excess strap ends can be slipped through retainer loops for a neat appearance.

The ThiPad is ideal for passengers on long train, airplane or car rides that normally require propping up their tablets in awkward positions or holding them up for extended periods of time. It's also effective for reading while lying on a couch or bed, taking notes at seminars and meetings, following instructions while performing a task, viewing a tablet while feeding the baby, monitoring other games while attending one at the stadium, catching up on email while eating a sandwich, or performing an infinite number of tasks on a tablet device while giving tired arms a rest.

"For me, it's a game-changer," says McTigue. "My office is now on my knee. The ThiPad optimizes all the advantages the tablet computer was created for."
