10 Custom Apple iPad Mods [VIDEOS]


Apple has never failed to amaze us but so have its users. There seems to be something about Apple’s iPad that brings out a user’s inventive side. In its short life, we have already seen some amazing uses. Recently we saw some odd iPad uses. Here we bring you ten more cool iPad creations that take the tablet device and mod it into something bigger, better or just more fun. Enjoy!




No 10. My Kitchen iPad

While hacking a great big hole in your expensive kitchen cabinetry is not something we’d normally recommend, in this instance it’s more than justified. This cupboard of awesome has been transformed into a media center while offering a really handy way to access cooking apps.













No 9. Apple iPad Macintosh



We just love the mix of retro and modern tech in this genius idea that takes a Macintosh Classic and brings it right up to date with the addition of a shiny new iPad.


No 8. iPad Dock From Credit Card

Bored in office the guy devised an out-of-wallet Dock. The dock used three wood soap dishes and a folded up credit card












No 7. iBook – iPad Modification

More classic Mac action here as an old clamshell iBook (kids – this is what we had before MacBooks were invented) gets modified to fit the iPad into its display. We have to say it works really well, although we were always more partial to the “tangerine” model.











No 6. iPad 3G GPS AT&T 3G Motorcycle Navigation System
iPad 3G GPS AT&T 3G Motorcycle Navigation System. Guy set up iPad 3G onto my KLR 650 Special Forces Modified w $10K of Mods Motorcycle iPad 3G fixed to the map case. iPad MAPS GPS works perfect with compass satellite and terrain modes, knows exactly the direction and follows you on the Map and you can multi-task too with the iPod in the iPad and have music going with the GPS Navigation it’s great.






No 5. Modifying the iPad Case to fit into the iPad Dock

No 4. Installing iPad in Car DashBoard

The day of the iPad launch, Doug Bernards installs an iPad in his car alongside an Audison Bit One processor. Planned install will include a McIntosh 6 channel amplifier MCC406M, and a special iPod dock which allows the digital signal to be pulled from the iPad and distributed to the BitOne via optical output.











No 3. iPad Walking Robot

Utterly pointless but incredibly sweet, the iPad walking robot was the inevitable follow-up to the iPhone walking robot — and don’t they just make the cutest pair!













No 2. Hammerhead Axepad iPad Guitar

A combo of hardware add-ons and apps turns the humble iPad into the — drumroll please — Hammerhead Axepad! Created by VJFranzK, who appears to be quite a character, this is the “glow edition” – just in case you were worried you might not make enough of an impression with the device strapped to your chest.










No 1. Fishman’s iPad Install

iPad car installs are ten a penny, but while most are decidedly dull and involve Velcro or plastic mounts, this effort brings the wow factor with some smooth motorized action and shiny chrome.
