Alphyn Industries, Inc.
There’s a company out there that I heard about through a MacWorld posting over at Engadget.
It’s called Alphyn Industries, Inc. They’ve got a few products ready to go and thought I’d drop a mention or two about them as I’m interested.
There’s a pullover out there that will hold a tablet (iPad, etc) on your chest and allow you to ‘flip it down’ to use it. It has a built in shelf and will hold it fairly steady. It looks decent, looks like it would do the job and hold things secure. I don’t see how it would be too comfortable to type on though, but other than that, it looks ok. Don’t know if I’d actually want one of these though as it just doesn’t seem like it would fit my usage patterns.
The other one however looks like something that I’d be interested in. I’d be more interested in it if it were a zip up, but still…
It’s got a phone holder (media player, etc) on the sleeve and has a cable run up to the shoulders. Now again, this has potential. It’s got that whole ‘futuristic’ feel to it. Althought, at over $250.00 for each of them, I don’t see myself picking one up any time soon.
Head on over to the site and check out the full details.

The Alphyn Wearcom™ line really addresses the need to use the devices regularly, and wear them comfortably.

The company just launched this month and we’re working on developing other styles and cuts for the jacket. The next generation will be a zip-up. The reason why it’s over 250 is because we make everything in the United States, so you’re really paying for the quality. Thank you so much for this great review 😉
Alexandra,
Thank you so much for responding to the post and thank you very much for the link to the article. I really do appreciate it.
I understand the reason for the price and I’m not saying it’s not worth it, I’m just saying that I wouldn’t be paying that much right now. I’ve got a few other things to pay for (finishing my degree and getting my Masters) before getting a ‘would be nice to have’ item. I’d love to see the zip-up version, I think that would definitely be more up my alley. I may have to start saving my pennies now to be able to get a hold of one when they come out. 🙂
