Elastick is an interesting Kickstarter project that addresses the increasing utility of tablets and other portable electronic devices in recording studio situations. Conceived by the New-York-based design due gregorysung, Elastick is a simple microphone-handle-shaped object with four elastic bands that stretch to accommodate a variety of rectangular devices. The whole shebang can then be neatly inserted into a standard microphone holder.
I've chosen not to embed the video because while the concept is sound, the video is poorly produced. Although this product is aimed at those who work with sound, the voice quality of the video is paradoxically poor; compounding the problem, annoying club music has been mixed into the video at a dominating volume that makes the narration nearly inaudible. Here's to hoping these guys can get a better video up that gives their product a proper chance.

That IPad is wearing a strap-on.
Can't help but see that this looks like a strap-on
hmmm...
Usually when designing shapes like that, You try to avoid making it look too phallic, seems like the designer went the other way around for this one and decided to go literal...
finally a creative and interesting ipad stand that opens up a new usage
Not seeing it. Too small for reading music, too limited to really improve the experience in any meaningful way.
Not to mention over-designed, frankly. It could be a lot more compact and portable if it was simplified.
Designs like this make you wonder if the designer ever showed the concept to anyone else. Useful? Sure. Looks like a dick? Totally.
"shebang"? Really? If you used that word on purpose, you should get a Pulitzer Prize.
