Thought Out Stabile PRO Pivoting iPad Stand - Silver - Made in USA - Compatible with Apple iPad

This stand is an excellent stand, very high quality, heavy, and extremely stable with a 12.9 inch iPad Pro. There is nothing strapping the iPad to the stand, but a strap kit is offered for an additional $20 if you feel it necessary. But I really see no reason why this stand needs a strap unless you tilt the iPad down. It holds the iPad securely in portrait or landscape orientation. Without the strap its very easy to change between portrait and landscape. The bracket holds an iPad with the keyboard folio securely. The movable iPad bracket has a plastic collar holding a ball from the lower section. It does not need to be tightened and can be adjusted with minimal effort. There is a removable stud to screw the stand to a surface if used as a public display. Overall I am very pleased with this stand. Opted for the gray which is a little bit darker than pure aluminum. Its a great looking stand and puts the iPad forward for great viewing.

I was looking for a heavy, solid, stable platform to hold my iPad on my desk. Being wary of lightweight options, I was willing to spend a little more for something that seemed to fit that bill. This stand does the job. It is heavier than I expected and seems very well constructed. The design, of course, is quite simple. But, the main object is to have a stand that allows me to touch the screen to operated the device without it falling over. No problem here. The stand also has rubber feet that prevent slipping and protect my desk. The coated feet on the iPad rest keep the unit in place as well. Because this is simply a rest, you don't have to worry about taking off the cover - just flip it to the back. That said, only gravity holds the iPad in place and that could be a consideration depending on where you intend to use the stand. The swivel mount was critical for me as I wanted to be able to change the angle of the iPad to my needs. The swivel works well - stays in place and has a tension screw. I don't see any potential issues with this design short of abuse. Just be careful about standing it up too horizontal lest the iPad tip off. Gravity works that way too.

I got this for cooking and baking with my ipad using recipes off the web and e-cookbooks and it works great! I don't need to remove the ipad from its case which was one of the main features I was looking for. The stand elevates the ipad off the counter so I don't need to worry about spills. Most importantly, I can see the recipe without having to lean down or touch the ipad. The stand tilts to whatever angle you want so it would work for people of different heights. The split design in the back keeps the cord out of the way so I can keep the ipad plugged in and set so it doesn't go to sleep in the middle of a recipe without draining the battery. It's solid and heavy and the silver complements my stainless appliances. I'm super pleased with this stand, absolutely thrilled! It has really made cooking with ipad so much more of a pleasure.

Thought Out Stabile PRO Pivoting iPad 2 Stand is a great product made in the USA. I got this stand for use at trade shows. The iPad2 is a great device to show product information and this stand shows off the iPad2 very nicely. In fact several other exhibitors came to my booth wanting to know where I purchased the stand. Although it gives away my edge in presenting cool display items at my booth, I told them where to get it. We have offices in Canada and the UK and each of them have a stand for their trade shows.The stand is solid, high quality, and very stylish. The pivoting head is perfect for my purposes - showing a slideshow to an audience, manipulating pdfs, or typing out an email. I can adjust the angle of the iPad2 to comfortably perform these tasks. Plus the stand just has that cool factor.I use this stand in combination with a maclocks security iPad2 case for added security (less cool, but necessary).

We really like the stand - have used it for a company iPad stand at industry functions...except that it is completely broken. The pivoting part broke completely off from the stand part. I have reached out to the company as of today (12.14.14) and have asked for a resolution. Once I have resolution, I will either update my review positively or negatively!12.13.14 Update. After sending a note to the company with a picture of the broken stand, they promptly responded that the issue was caused by user error, which I VEHEMENTLY disagree with. Below is the email they sent back to me:"Hi Monica,Thank you for contacting Thought Out Company and allowing us to assist you.The product is not welded together, the base is a solid piece all the way up INTO the ball.If the pivot nut is over tightened and locked onto the steel ball, and then, with only extreme force, the cradle holder is forcefully turned the shaft area near the ball will twist. This is highly evident in the photo provided at the very end of the break. There is a twist in the steel, notable of forceful use.This is not a manufacturing defect.The best we can offer is to contact the manufacturer directly for a replacement purchase of the steel base. Through "Amazon" we do not have purchasable replacement steel base parts available.Sincerely,BrandiThought Out Company"I am not happy. And I do not agree. And I will not be purchasing a replacement stand. The portion that broke is ridiculously small in diameter to support the function it serves. I still maintain this is a design flaw in the product.

The stand is heavy enough for the ipad pro 12.9, the rubber feet seem to not slip as well. If you have a 🐱 who jumps on the table and rubs his head on your tablet, then I suggest you order the grapple S4 upper mount. My only issue was with the S4 system. The rubber bands that apply tension were too loose and the ipad pro which was a week old came out of the stand and acquired a scratch on the front glass. The manufacturer, however did send a correct version of the S4 which did hold the ipad pro with better tension.
