I Invented That!: Screentop iPad Keyboards

The TouchFire is a clear silicon "tactile' keyboard cover for use with an iPad so you can touch-type without looking with better speed and accuracy. It's a Kickstarter project developed by Steve Isaac and Brad Melon Lemon Melmon, but already at almost 3x its initial financial goal. Mostly because everyone who's ever typed on an iPad invented this exact same thing in their head but were too lazy to manufacture them. Thankfully, I at least managed to sketch out a product design a couple months ago, so I might actually stand a chance of scoring some royalties. "This...is a bar tab with a stick figure doodle of a woman with giant boobs." Let me see that! OMG -- she's gonna break her back with those things!

Hit the jump for the way-too-long Kickstarter video and a link to the donate page ($45 gets you one when the come out. That's right -- $45 for a piece of molded silicon and a couple magnets. Who do these guys think they are, Apple?!).

    This is a hand with fake 3-D fingernail art Photoshopped on. Sure you could make the same thing IRL by gluing G.I. Joe weapons on your nails, but come on, it's not really that awesome an idea to begin with. Regardless, Lady Gaga will still be sporting this shit for her New Ye... / Continue →

    The tablet claw is a G.I. Joe kung fu one-hand grip for the iPad. It has a ring on the back you stick your fingers through. Plus it has two other integrated stands (vertical and horizontal) for when you're not holding it (or need to pick a boogie without playing Angry Birds w... / Continue →
