When closed, the iBackFlip resembles a typical messenger bag. It is, however, designed specifically for the iPad. The bag features carefully concealed magnets that work with the iPad 2′s sync/wake sensor in the same manner as Apple’s Smart Cover. It includes a smart phone/hot spot pocket, a utility pouch, and even a spot to stow a stylus.
To use the bag as a hands-free iPad holder, simply swivel the bag to the front of your body and open the straps. It looks as if the iPad is held quite close to the body, allowing the user to keep a low profile in public spaces.
The iBackFlip is compatible with the original iPad and iPad 2. It is made in the USA.
If iBackFlip works as it is described, it should keep a user’s iPad safely stowed in its case until it is needed. It is easy to imagine taking the iPad along on a casual bike ride or hike.
USDÂ $69.95, plus $5.00 shipping

Hello,
I am an Educational Assistant working with a student that is learning to use the iPad as a communication tool, and he has challenges with mobility, gross and fine motor skills. We have recently received the iBackFlip Bag, and I believe it is going to prove to be very valuable in promoting independence for this student. I am curious as to whether the iBackFlip is available for the iPad Mini? I did not see any mention of it within you web-information… would you reply with a confirmation and details (cost, design style) of it\’s availability?
Thank you,
Dean
Hi Dean-
Thanks for your comment! I haven\’t seen this bag available for the iPad mini. I would suggest contacting the developers and letting them know that this is something you are interested in. Here is their contact form: https://ibackflip.com/contact/
