About Velcro
A few interesting things about Velcro from Wikipedia:
Velcro is the brand name of the first commercially marketed fabric hook-and-loop fastener, invented in 1948 by the Swiss electrical engineerGeorge de Mestral. De Mestral patented Velcro in 1955, subsequently refining and developing its practical manufacture until its commercial introduction in the late 1950s.
The word Velcro is a portmanteau of the two French words velours (“velvet”), and crochet (“hook”).[1][2][3]
Hook-and-loop fasteners consist of two components: typically, two lineal fabric strips (or, alternatively, round “dots” or squares) which are attached (e.g., sewn, adhered, etc.) to the opposing surfaces to be fastened. The first component features tiny hooks; the second features even smaller and “hairier” loops. When the two faces are pressed together, the hooks catch in the loops and the two pieces fasten or bind temporarily.When separated, by pulling or peeling the two surfaces apart, the velcro strips make a distinctive “ripping” sound.
The things you can create with velcro and iPad are endless. Have at it!
(of course, you could just buy a device or case that would do these things – but that’s no fun!)
