A Closer Look
The front is where you place your iPad 2, and the back contains the moveable legs.
You can position them in many different ways very simply.
The case has rubber buttons on it for accessing the iPad 2’s buttons.
And you can easily change the orientation by removing the legs and slotting them in the other orientation. It is very simple and takes only a few seconds to do it!
Using the Gorilla Mobile Yogi
After fitting your iPad 2 into the front of the Yogi, you then just position the legs into whatever position you want to use it in. They can easily bend into a variety of positions.
You can even wrap them around objects and they hold the Yogi into position firmly and securely. Here you can see my iPad 2 handing from the curtain rail!
Final Thoughts
The Gorilla Mobile Yogi is very simple to use, and it can be positioned in many, many different ways and on a variety of surfaces (even and uneven).
I found it very easy to use and it took very little effort to get it into position, whether that was using in on my desk, wrapping it around my leg or hanging it from a curtain rail.
It felt very secure and I wasn’t concerned for a moment that it would drop!
If you have a need to use your iPad 2 in such a way (maybe for the rear of the car wrapped around a headrest) then you should seriously take a look at this, you won’t be disappointed.
The price is £34.95 and is available now from the JOBY website.
