FAQs

Q: What would I use the iFoldAway for?
A: The idea originated when we noticed that people were starting to watch TV and video either streamed or downloaded onto their phones. With the iFoldAway you can watch videos downloaded from itunes or even watch the latest sky sports using the sky sports app. Use our tablet model to watch films, surf the web, use in the kitchen or garage, at work or at home just to suggest a few uses. If you find a new use, please email or twitter us!

Q: I have seen other devices that seem to do the same job. How is the iFoldAway different?
A: The iFoldAway is truly portable unlike many of its competitors. You can fold it to fit into a credit card wallet or just fit it into your coin pocket in your jeans. Our tablet model can fit into your rear jeans or inside blazer pocket.

Q:How stable is iFoldAway?
A: As you can see in our graphic on the front page, you can see that it can be used whilst charging and with headphones plugged in and still retains a great stability. All you need is a fairly flat surface to place your iFoldAway and it will do its job. Unlike other stands, it is so stable it can be used with one hand!

Q: Will the iFoldAway work with a case?

If you have concerns, please email us and we can try to give you more information regarding your exact model. Our tablet model has been tested with the official Apple case and with all other major branded cases and it works perfectly. In fact you can use your case to store your stand when on the move. Just fold it and slide it between the tablet and case.

Q: How long does it take to ship my iFoldAway?
A: We try to get all orders out within 24 hours but occasionally this can take a little longer due to local postage problems. Unfortunately we cant be responsible for Royal Mail.

Q: Can my child use iFoldAway?

Q: Can I print custom designs on the iFoldAway?
A: Yes. If you would like to licence iFoldAway for your own company or would just like to print a few with your own graphic on please contact us on info@ifoldaway.com. Any amount over 40 can be considered although the more we make, the cheaper they are,  of course.

Q: How thick is the iFoldAway and how much does it weigh?
A: iFoldAway for the iPhone is only ½ a millimetre thick, or 500 microns if you prefer. We chose the thinnest material possible without compromising the structural integrity. It also weighs in at 2.9 grams. The tablet version is a slightly thicker 800 microns as the increase in size dictated a thicker material to ensure maximum strength.

Q: How durable is iFoldAway?
A: iFoldAway is extremely durable. While we aren't saying you can't cut it in half with a nice pair of scissors, we are saying that you'd be hard pressed to tear it in half with your hands. We have tested the folds and after folding over 1000 times they still work. Oh, and of course it's waterproof in case you were wondering that too. It will also melt if burnt but unlike most other products, wont give off any harmful toxins to the air, just plain water vapour.

Q: Does the iFoldAway support the iPhone in its vertical, portrait view position?
A: No, iFoldAway is intended to only be used in the landscape position which we find optimal for viewing videos, apps, reading the news etc. We felt that , unlike other competitors, instead of trying to do many jobs in an unsatisfactory fashion, we would do one job very well.

Q: How about iFoldAway for the iPad?
A: Yes! As the tablet version is used almost like a home computer to some, we adapted the design to work in both landscape and portrait view without compromising on stability. We also included a recess for cable management to assist both views.

Q: Can I order in bulk or wholesale?
A: Yes you can. iFoldAway come with a barcode and a pop out eurotag for use in shop displays. Email us on info@ifoldaway.com for bulk quotes.
