Give your [iPad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twelve-south-hoverbar-tower) the stand it needs and the extra battery power it deserves with the PowerBack from Kensington. This stand props your iPad up while providing an extra five hours of power.

What would you with an extra five hours to play around on your iPad? The best part about the PowerBack is that it doesn’t look like a battery pack at all. It crams all the extra battery power into a [slim and sleek package](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anker-nano-magsafe). Now I need an iPad. Thanks Kensington.
