The Wallee - A Colorful, Cool & Convenient Wall Mount Case For The Apple iPad.

The Wallee, designed in Melbourne, Australia, is a seamless, hard case and wall mounting system made especially for the iPad. Available in five cool colors, the nicely designed, low profile case allows you to easily mount your iPad horizontally or vertically just about anywhere that viewing it hands-free is convenient.



Keep it from getting wet while you're in the tub, follow along a recipe while you're cooking in the kitchen, mount it to the dash in your car or put above your desk to keep it clutter free.







The Wallee is comprised of two main parts; the hard shell case and the wall mounts.


When not docked, The Wallee does double duty acting as a durable, comfortable and sleek protective case for your iPad.




All of the physical buttons are left easily accessible and integrated thumb tabs means your iPad can be removed from the case quickly and easily.

The patented wall plate with integrated locking 'X' mechanism means your iPad mounts confidently to any surface, comfortable in both landscape and portrait orientations.



A simple turn and click & your iPad is locked into position, another turn and click and it is released together with its hard protective shell.

Wall plates can be purchased individually to provide mounting options wherever they are needed, whether around the house or at the office.

Headcase™, in partnership with The Ohio Art Company, has just introduced the first and only officially licensed Etch A Sketch® iPad case! Now, the world’s most popular drawing toy provides a fun backdrop for the most revolutionary device ever conceived by Apple.

Etch A Sketch® is celebrating its 50th year and over 150 million units sold. The iPad sold over 3 million units in its first 80 days, prompting the USA Today front-page article: “Etch A Sketch: The 1960’s iPad”.



Daniel Deutsch, CEO of Headcase explains, “Etch A Sketch® has been one of the most recognized and iconic toys for generations. The iPad, like the Etch A Sketch®, is also instantly recognizable and has defined an entirely new category of technology. It has been a thrill to work with Ohio Art to bring the look and the feel of the world’s most popular drawing toy to Apple’s latest opus. It is the perfect accessory for those of us who never really grew up.”

While the Etch A Sketch® iPad case looks like America’s favorite toy, there has been equal attention placed on making it a high quality protective case. Made of impact resistant ABS plastic, the Etch A Sketch® iPad case will help protect your iPad. Rubber feet and a felt backing gently cradle your iPad inside the Etch A Sketch® iPad case.



Strategically placed windows throughout the Etch A Sketch® iPad case allow for easy use of all your iPad switches, ports, and buttons.

Apple Outperforms Tiffany & Co, Best Buy and More

How productive are Apple’s (AAPL) retail outlets?

“Out of this world” according to a report issued this morning by Toni Sacconaghi of Bernstein Research. In fiscal year 2007, he estimates, Apple stores generated an average of nearly $4,500 in sales per square foot — a figure far higher than any other consumer electronics or luxury retailer. That’s nearly five times the productivity of Best Buy, for example, one of the most efficient consumer retail outlets, and nearly 12 times that of Saks. Only Tiffany & Company comes close, with sales of $2,750 per square foot. (see charts)

The findings were part of a follow-up to the in-depth report on Apple’s retail strategy that Bernstein Research issued a year ago. Since then, Apple has opened 20 new stores (total: more than 200) and reportedly has plans to expand to China, France, Germany and elsewhere.

Among the report’s other findings:

• Mac sales per store grew 26 percent year-to-year in fiscal 2007. Apple’s brick and mortar stores sold an average of 8,000 Macs in 2007, or a “stunning” 21.4 per day.
• Apple Stores boosted the company’s total revenue by at least $1.35 billion (5.6 percent) during the year, with gross margins of 42 percent (versus 34 percent for Apple overall)
• Despite the high gross margins, the stores have somewhat lower profitability than the company overall because of high operating expenses. The average Apple Store has 40 full-time-equivalent employees, double the number four years earlier. All told, Sacconaghi estimates that the retail segment’s operating margin was 16.9 percent for the year, compared with 18.4 percent for Apple overall.
