About us
At Wombat Ware we are developing solutions for active iPad users who need added support to keep using their iPads.
One of the problems we are addressing is the thermal shut down of iPads. While trying to solve the overheating problem, we also considered the different use cases including: General Aviation (Electronic Flight Bags), Drones, Sports Coaching, Field work, Emergency services, Videography/Media Production etc. So we have designed our cooling case to be quite versatile.
The Story (how it started)
The Cooling Case started out as a once-off custom prototype idea/solution for a sports scientist who had troubles with an overheating iPad. For those who are interested in the origin story, you will find it here: "Designing An iPad Cooling Case".
Many years on, it became evident that this problem of the iPad having a thermal shutdown has persisted. It continues to affect a lot more people beyond sports coaching. The main group of people that reached out to me were pilots in general aviation.
So in 2021, we launched the iPad mini cooling case. There is a bit of forward thinking (or future proofing) put into the design so that it would be adaptable to future iPad models or future add-on requirements (besides cooling). Read more about it here: link.
How it's going
We have only just started with this first design and solution, and currently catering for iPad minis 4, 5, 6 and more recently 7 (which has the same dimensions as the 6th gen). The range will keep expanding as we add designs for the other iPad models as well as accessories. It will also keep evolving and improving as we receive feedback from users. It is our commitment to deliver innovative solutions that work.
We are currently working on a cooling solution for the 10-11" iPads. If you have a bigger iPad, and think you will need a cooling solution, stay tuned!
We are also open to develop custom solutions for organisations who need additional features or accessories that will better support them.
