All-in-One Handle and Stand for Tablets and e-Readers
The Vacuum Dock + WhaleTail invites you to rediscover your tablet, e-reader, netbook and more. The Vacuum Dock is a vacuum suction system rigourously engineered to give you the strongest and most reliable bond to your device, while offering a shape that floats in the palm of your hand. Pop off the cap to extend the dock, and with one easy step, click in the WhaleTail to offer the most versitle handle and stand solution available.
Versatile and Mobile
Octa’s tablet accessories adapt to fit any situation. They’re sleek enough to fit in your pocket and light enough to bring everywhere. The perfect travel companion, the WhaleTail provides a handle as you walk down the jetway and a stand to prop on your tray table. Use it while riding a crowded train or squeezing into a tiny cafe table. The TabletTail transitions from handle to stand without adjustment or reattachment.
Evolution of the TabletTail
The TabletTailTM line provides interchangeable accessories for your tablet or e-reader. The Vacuum Dock + WhaleTail are the signature dock and tail components in the product suite. Docks provide different ways to mount your device, while tails allow you to hold them in many ways. Each tail is specifically engineered for a different need.
The Vacuum Dock will be compatible with Octa’s future tails (currently in development and planned for release throughout 2012). Look for future TabletTail creatures as they become available for adoption.
The Vacuum Dock uses vacuum suction technology to adhere to non-porous surfaces. The dock only requires 5 pumps for optimal adhesion. Flexible, removable WhaleTail can hold nearly any position as a handle or stand.

I use my iPad everyday for reading work and teaching as a youth leader. I believe this product will my experience with my iPad that much better (Posted on 4/5/12)Price Value Quality - Excellent Review by Wyatt MacGee

Whilst perusing the normal flow and ebb of mindless sheep at my local Starbucks, a rather pretentious suit walked over and complimented me on my Whale Tail. Retreating from the pungeant aura of patchouli and body odor are paths were again misaligned. I countinued to lounge and enjoy my tablet experience.

At first glance, the Whale Tail - while beautiful - is not all that impressive. But then, you use it:Price Value Quality
It holds to the back of my iPad with 4-5 quick, simple pumps. And it's ON. I was worried the first time I attached it - but then I held it upside down, shook it, and swung it around, and that thing is ON.
The Whale Tail makes it SO simple to position my iPad however I want. My first use was to hold it in a readable position next to my computer while I was following a tutorial. Awesome. The next use was to put it in the position I wanted to watch a movie at the table. Perfect. Then, I used it to hold the perfect position in the kitchen while preparing a recipe from my iPad. (Saved paper!). And just last night I used it to hold my iPad comfortably for someone ELSE to watch a YouTube video. With the Vacuum Dock, holding it in what would have been an impossible position without the dock was now simple.
Once you have it, hold it, and use it, you realize it is top quality, and well worth the price.
So freakin' functional it set my world free.

I just got my Octa in the mail and I love it! I've only had it a few days and people keep asking about it. I love getting to smugly mention that it's brand new and only I have one in my town for now. I was the first here with an iPad and now I'm trendsetting with the Octa.Price Value Quality
Enough! Joking aside, this thing is super useful! I actually have been surprised at just how much I use it. I'm a programmer so let me put it in an "if, then" statement:
IF I'm using my iPad, THEN i'm also using my Octa.
