The Bluelounge company has managed to create a simple accessory in its shape, similar to a stand, but very useful if we attend to the ergonomics plane For the user, it has managed to add flexibility to the MacBook Pro with a simple "tab" that is installed under the MacBook Pro with an adhesive and that when opened will give us the impression of being the closest thing to placing a leg of goat on a laptop, they called it kickflip.
It is valid for the older versions of MacBook Pro as well as for the new retina models in either of the two screen diagonals, that is, for both the 13-inch and 15-inch versions. As I mentioned, bring a sticker In the case of removing the accessory, it can be removed from the MacBook without complications since it is reusable while still remaining strong.
The angle achieved with this small modification on the back of the equipment is similar to that of any standard keyboard with the typical two tabs on the back. The materials in which the accessory is made are basically rubber and plastic with an intermediate mechanism that acts as if it were a joint to be able to close or open it at will so it will stay flat when the MacBook lid is supported and closed and it can be opened when lifted. The recommended price is $ 18 and comes in two sizes depending on our team. On the other hand, we cannot confirm its compatibility with the MacBook Air since the manufacturer does not specify it, although it can surely be installed, it is more than likely that it will not work correctly.
Certainly if we compare the ergonomics of the MacBook Air where in its anterior part it is wider than the front, that would give us a certain angle that our wrists will surely appreciate after long sessions hitting the key, so the accessory does not look so necessary. However, on MacBook Pros the angle is right so this inclination provided by the KickFlip is always welcome.
