Modus III Arrives as the World's First iPad Office
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) August 20, 2013 -- Modus lll – the dynamic iPad productivity headquarters, launched its official Kickstarter campaign today, allowing the public to pre-order Modus lll and jumpstart it into full production. The Modus lll introductory video can be found here.
In a 2012 “iPad usage” study conducted by BusinessInsider.com, more than 46.7 percent of iPad owners said that they use it as their primary computer.
“This is far more than just another case or accessory that includes a small keyboard attachment - the flood of great new apps has positively exploded and the iPad has matured into a real-world productivity tool,” said D.J. Sherman, co-founder at Modus lll. “The missing link was a workspace that’s evolved along with it.”
Modus lll creates a comfortable, private workstation that makes your iPad and smartphone infinitely more manageable. The premium laptop size keyboard even has an adjustable angle and is a pleasure to use. Modus lll is the optimum environment that maximizes comfort, convenience and versatility, yet it's lightweight and portable at just 2.4 lbs., slightly more than the leading high end tablet-keyboard case. Users can also choose to click the elegant, highly-protective case out of Modus lll and conveniently go ultra-mobile with the iPad.
The modular element of Modus lll offers users a seamless path to upgrade and versatility was bred into the design. For example, when the iPad 5 is announced, a new Modus lll case will be available at a no cost to Kickstarter and Modus lll owners can click it right back into their workstation — Modus lll moves with new technology.
Owners of Modus lll will feel this new environment richly enhancing the intuitive experience that millions of people have come to love with their iPads and smartphones. The introductory model fits iPad 2, 3 and 4, all iPhones and micro USB Android smartphones.

About Modus III:
As the iPad becomes more universally used as a bonafide productivity tool, the features of the workspace we use also evolves.
We looked for the optimum environment that maximized comfort, convenience and versatility. Finding nothing adequate, it was time to design something that went beyond the laptop experience. Modus literally means ‘the way’ – a simpler, easier and better way to stay comfortable, organized and productive. It’s the Modus lll way and it’s live on Kickstarter as of today, August 20, 2013.
