Pong's Got it Goin' On
Since the iPad mini was first released, the selection of cases have been few and far between. Sure, cases like the Hammerhead Folio and Otterbox Defender are great standouts in the line up, but they don’t give the user the right options or usability they need for their devices, in my opinion.
I wanted a case that was able to stand in multiple positions, that was lightweight and portable, and most of all, had a sleek and thin design to complement the mini. Just when I thought I wouldn’t get what I wanted, the Pong case was introduced here at Small Dog Electronics.
Pong features a slim, sleek design that complements the mini perfectly, available in either black or red, giving your iPad some style! The case’s front contains built-in magnets, giving it multiple standing positions; fold it one way, and you have an upright stand, fold it the other way, and you have a comfortable viewing angle while sitting. Most notably, this stand type gives both portrait and landscape views, the first of its kind sold by Small Dog!
That versatility alone gives the case a leg up on the competition, but some of its additional features truly help it shine. The case possesses a built-in antenna which gives it the ability to extend the radius of both Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity. This is an impressive feature, particularly for those who rely on the cellular functionality to keep them connected on the go. In addition to this, the case is built from radiation-reducing plastics and synthetic material, making it a safe, practical and desirable choice.
All of theses capabilities are available for $99.99, a steep price point some might say, but I think it’s well worth it for the myriad of features the case provides. In my experience with cases for mobile products, there is usually one thing they do well, to the exclusion of everything else. This tiring habit of narrow functionality is broken by the Pong, a refreshing change to a market rife with particular cases for particular jobs.
Between the variety of features and sleek design, the Pong is a sure choice if you’re willing to spend a little money to get a lot out of a case. In the time I have had my mini, this case has helped make the device my favorite among the tech world, and it continues to be a product I recommend again and again.
