Slate - Mobile AirDesk by Nathan Mummert. Laptops are designed for mobility but they're missing the comforts of a desk.

Slate - Mobile AirDesk by Nathan Mummert

We experience poor posture and back pains, lost items, heat on our laps, and an overall slow work speed. We searched through one retail store after another, but much to our dismay, we only found basic accessories and plain-old surfaces for our laptops. So, the invention of the Slate was born. It's the only product of it's kind and with your help - we can make it affordable for everyone to enjoy. The Slate is cut from a block of pure, premium bamboo. The Slate is a household accessory, bringing form and function to our daily lives. Comfort should include temperature control but laptops release continual heat.

The Slate is a promoter of healthy posture. The Slate couldn't be considered the Mobile AirDesk without an extended display dock for our phones and mini tablets. Thanks to all the backers so far, we have well cleared our $10,000 stretch goal. NINJA SPHERE: Next Generation Control of Your Environment by Ninja Blocks.

We're going to stick something on the back, too (like a track list) and it'll be available in whatever size you need, either in a Unisex cut or a fitted women's cut. It'll only be available through the Kickstarter campaign, so if you'd like one (or more) you can either grab the $60 package (with a signed cd, advance digital download and newspaper) or you can toss an extra $20 on your existing pledge and send us a message letting us know you've done so.
