TUAW Gives Their Impressions of an iPad…Mockup

The development team at HardCandy dropped by the TUAW booth at MacWorld this year and brought with them the mockup they’ve been using for creating their iPad cases. These folks put in a lot of time and effort to create a replica of an iPad using a variety of inputs “including stats from Apple’s site, information from over 300 pictures of the keynote (in which they compared the iPad’s dimensions to things like a wristwatch band), and even some not-quite-public plans from an unnamed Chinese manufacturer.” Video after the jump. Hit the link for their complete “review”.

The TUAW gang provide their impressions, of which I find this the most interesting:

The first thing that struck us on holding the iPad mockup…is the curvature on the back. It’s much more curved than you’d realize just looking at photos — there might be as much as a quarter-inch difference between the sides and the center of the back, which Adam pointed out made the iPad look thinner than the hardware inside it actually was. The curve makes the whole thing feel more like a book — it’s about the same size across as a novel with the cover folded over, or a small notepad, and the feel is about the same.
