Apple Recommends For

Easily place your iPad next to or above your Mac to create the ultimate Apple workstation.

The Twelve South HoverBar's flexible arm elevates your new iPad or iPad 2 to either side of or above your Mac, turning your iPad into the ultimate Mac sidecar. Simply clamp HoverBar to your iMac or Apple display, snap your new iPad or iPad 2 into the secure clip, and then use iPad to monitor your Twitter feed, stocks, weather, or collaborate via FaceTime—all while you continue working on your Mac.

You can also use HoverBar as a stand-alone iPad mount. Clamp HoverBar to a kitchen cabinet and use your iPad while preparing dinner. Or attach HoverBar to a table for an instant compact workstation. Use HoverBar to interact with your favorite DJ or music app. Create a steering wheel for racing apps. HoverBar literally expands the ways you can use and interact with your iPad.

    Awesome!

    • Written by from Saint Joseph

    This thing is slick. I just got mine today and was impressed with the versitality of it. It not only will clamp to your iMac, but anywhere that has a ledge of about a couple inches in thickness. I had it mounted on my desk (looks freaking awesome) and then I mounted it on my night stand for when I got to bed for some hands free use for watching movies or something. The price is a little steep but your getting high quality from Twelve South along with a pretty sweet companion for your iPad 2. Highly recommended. …More

    Awesome product!

    • Written by from Chino Hills

    Rock solid construction, I have my iPad now floating on the same eye-level to the screen of my MacBook, which itself is raised up off the desk on a stand to be more ergonomic. Didn't experience what other reviewers say as too flexible and not tight enough--perhaps the angle of my setup is a bit different as I have it mounted from the back ledge of my desk. I can freely rotate and adjust my iPad to any infinitesimal variation of angle I want, and I simply tightened the ball-and-socket joint enough to the resistance/pressure level I wanted. When mounted, I keep my iPad plugged in and turned off auto-lock so the screen is always-on. And I love how they included these small cable clips to neatly tuck away the charging cable out of sight behind my iPad. Overall, a well thought out product. My coworkers are all envious of my "Minority Report" style setup. …More

    Great item, great customer service!

    • Written by from Centralia

    This is the first Twelve South product I've bought, and I have to say I love it! This is a great product, and when I had inadvertently broke the black locking piece that connects the clamp to the arm, I was able to contact them and they shipped out a new part for me. Very nice! …More

    Do not buy the Twelvesouth hoverbar for iPad

    Not worth it. The arm is not stiff enough to hold the iPad 2 the way it is shown in the pictures on their site. After a few minutes the weight brings the ipad down to my desk. …More

    No Complaints

    • Written by from Campbell

    I've had mine for almost 4 months ... I saw the negative comments on here and I am scratching my head. If you don't like it ... take it back for a refund.
    Mine works very well ... the only thing I would recommend is not to lose the small black washer ring like I did. I had to replace with Plan B at the hardware store. Maybe include a spare ring with the product???
    This is very handy and well made. I love the sturdiness and how easy to remove the iPad. It works perfectly for me and I loved it so much ... I went back to the Apple Store to get another one for work (sold out) :(
    Overall I am impressed with the quality ... maybe a little pricey, but I would recommend to others. Thinking of buying one as a birthday gift for a friend.     …More

    Caution. Don't buy the iPad 1 mount.

    • Written by from Austin

    Don't buy the case for the iPad 1. It has a very weak tabbed mounting point between the iPad & the HoverBar and breaks far too easily. I didn't even get it mounted before it broke.

    Not the same as the case for the newer iPads which works very well and are far less intricate.

    And the HoverBar itself is VERY sturdy with an attractive and flexible attaching mechanism. Beautiful Apple-worthy packaging.     …More

  • How wide does the clamp open?
    • Asked by David G from Glendale

    1 Answer

    Answer

    The clamp will open roughly 2.0cm - 2.5 cm and will still be able to clamp onto a surface. Therefore the desk / object the HoverBar is clamped onto needs to be around 2.0cm thick or less. …More
