Questions & Answers for Twelve South HoverBar Stand for iPad

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.

I have heard that it does. It is a tight fit due to the slight increase in thickness of the iPad (3) over the iPad 2.

It's a very tight fit and you would probably break either your iPad or the bracket if you had to constantly remove it. There is however an updated bracket for the 3rd Generation iPAD

I just bought this product yesterday. It is compatible with the 27" iMac. It's very easy to mount on the side, but mounting it above the display takes some work. Once you get it set it stays in place. I'm very satisfied with this product. It's very easy to assemble, and comes with clamps which allow you to secure your connector cable to the movable arm.

Against my better judgement I am going to attempt to answer. The stand is designed for Apple products. I would recommend looking in the refurb section of this website for your Mac purchases, or perhaps put a little cash away every month, like I do.

While the iPad third generation does work with the Hoverbar, originally engineered for the second generation iPad, I would advise against using it. The Hoverbar with the second gen iPad is a great workflow enhancement, adding additional screen real estate (with Air Display app), or in my case, a great resource to keep iBooks/Kindle/GoodReader/Sente open for researching and writing. However, the Hoverbar isn't engineered for the iPad 3 (its thickness and its weight) and it becomes apparent over time. For example, the bar itself allows the iPad 3 to droop over time, and it doesn't hold, as to be expected, the iPad 3 as fitting as the iPad 2. Thus, I would wait for Twelve South to produce a revised product, accompanying the new specs of the third generation iPad.
