Holding an iPad one-handed: the TABSTRAP hand strap

iPad einhändig halten: der TABSTRAP mit Handschlaufe

Yes, you can hold your iPad comfortably with one hand. That is exactly what we built the TABSTRAP for: an adjustable hand strap in merino wool felt that attaches to the back of your iPad with a residue-free vacuum film. Your device sits securely in your hand, even over longer stretches, and your other hand stays free.

Handmade in our Hamburg workshop from merino wool felt and vegetable-tanned leather. For iPads up to 11 inch.

What is the TABSTRAP?

The TABSTRAP is an iPad holder made in Germany from merino wool felt and vegetable-tanned leather. Thanks to a special vacuum film it adheres securely to the back of your iPad without leaving marks. You can rotate the iPad a full 360 degrees, which gives you maximum flexibility whether you are working, drawing or reading.

It was designed for iPads up to 11 inch, which covers the iPad Pro and Air 11", the iPad Air 10.9" and the iPad mini.

Why one-handed use makes the difference

The ergonomic shape and the adjustable merino wool felt strap let you hold the iPad without your hand tiring. That makes it the first choice for long working sessions, for presenting while standing, and for creative work.

There is also an integrated holder for the Apple Pencil, so it stays within reach. The TABSTRAP works alongside the Apple Smart Cover, the Smart Keyboard and most other cases.

Does the TABSTRAP work with my iPad sleeve?

Yes. The TABSTRAP sits on the back and can be taken off when you slide the iPad into a sleeve. If you are looking for both, our sleeves are gathered under iPad sleeves and bags, with every inside dimension listed in inches and centimetres.

The story behind the TABSTRAP

The TABSTRAP is the result of a successful Kickstarter campaign in which we reached over 759 % of the original funding goal. 213 backers made it happen.

In short

The TABSTRAP solves a concrete problem: an iPad that you can really only hold securely with two hands. For iPads up to 11 inch, handmade in Hamburg.
