Reviews for Twelve South Compass Mobile Stand for iPad

Best 40 bucks I ever spent and first review I have ever written. This stand is minimalistic in design, beautiful and very functional.

Great on an airplane for working or watching a movie. I also use my iPad to control my home automation system (music, lights, home theater). This stand is great for always having those controls within arm's reach.

It turns iPad into a very nice looking alarm clock on any bedside table.

This thing is really small when it's folded.
It's structurally really solid.
All of the points where it touches your iPad are rubber so it doesn't scratch it.
It's great for watching netflix or movies when you're in bed sick or for perching your iPad on top of your coffee machine to watch the X-Files when you're doing the dishes (these things really happened).

I haven't really used it in the 'secondary position', which is more for typing, because I have a smart cover, but when I tried just to see what it was like, it was a good angle.

If you want a portable stand, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this one, because it's sturdy and very portable and won't mess up the finish on your iPad. Full of win.

I like this stand very much. It holds my iPad at the right angle (for me, anyway). It seems sturdy enough to handle the abuse I dish out. It's quite portable, and takes up hardly any room in my pack. The little case is a thoughtful touch.

If you want to move it back, away from you, you have to grab it by the back leg, rather than pushing it by the front two legs, or it collapses. This isn't a deal-breaker or anything, but it was rather a surprise the first time.
