• Fully compatible with all browsers, including webkit on iPhone and iPad (without scroll-bugs)

• Letterboxes vertically oriented images
• Standalone — no library needed and no conflicts needed
• VERY light weight (under 3KB for uncompressed css and javascript)
• Easy to integrate into different gallery types (what additional examples would you like? Post your comment)
• Seamless fallback to pure css solution in latest version of all major browsers
