    Well, i bought this product and did not read reviews about charging problems.

    So it is really good product and i extremely like it, but with a stock charger it does not charge my iPad 3gen if the device is turned on. So i was really disapointed because it is such a great product, so i decided to try my Apple charger which came with my iPad, and it charges. ( it charges very slowly, if iPad is turned on then 1-2 % for an hour but if it turned off then much quicker, maby like 8% for an hour)

    But i like this product so much so i am keeping it even if it charges not very fest.

    if it did not have charging problems i would easely put 5 stars but because of that i am puting 4 stars.

    Great, gorgeous iPad stand

    Purchased iPad and this stand for visitors to use to sign in at our receptionist's desk. Had to buy the lightening-to-30 pin adapter so the iPad would connect but it still locks and feels great. Very stable, strong and substantial. Multi angle, portrait or landscape, firmly snaps into place. Charges through the connection then to your computer via USB or to electrical outlet. Very impressive, definite WOW factor, great first impression for new customers, and so cool I bought one for myself to use at home.

    I was looking for an iPad stand that was sturdy and portable. I also wanted one that would easily allow me to adjust its height and viewing angle. This stand met my needs. I have the iPad 3rd generation and did not have any issues with the charging mechanism. I highly recommend this product!

    I went thru quite a few stands before getting this one and I love it. Holds my iPad 3 firmly and I especially love that it goes sideways, as well as, flat. That is especially handy when using cooking apps in the kitchen. Worth every penny!

    For all those that are having issues charging, you do have to make sure you *set* it correctly and firmly in the stand. I have only messed up once, lesson learned when I got the battery warning, never did that again!

    Good construction. Unfortunately, connector will not make contact with my iPad 2.

    Mophie Power Station will not charge

    • Written by from South Huntington

    11 of 12 people found this useful

    I received this as a Christmas gift. When I tried to set up my iPad "3" to charge, the connection did not persist. I had to hold down the iPad to force the connection. Speaking with my local Apple Store folks, they said there was a "trick" to getting the iPads to house.

    I reached out to Mophie, and they immediately offered to swap a new model, since I was under warranty, which was nice of them, but as I am about 5 minutes away from the store where the Power Stand was purchased, I had the model swapped.

    The second Power Station won't even connect. At least the first one might have worked if I wrapped the iPad in super-sized rubber bands.

    At this point, I can't keep swapping out power stands hoping one might work, so I will be returning this. It's really a shame because it is a great design. But Mophie should have done a much, much better job in Q/A before rating this for the latest iPad.

    Won't Charge an iPad 2

    • Written by from San Antonio

    8 of 10 people found this useful

    Got this stand home and connected everything, only to find that (contrary to the advertising) it won't charge my iPad. After having checked this website and learning that many people have this same issue, why is Apple still selling the defective product? At the very least, they should make it clear to customers that if they're planning to use it with an iPad 2, there's a good chance that the charging feature may not work. Now I have to drive back to the Apple Store tomorrow and return it. Disappointing experience.

    High # of Manufacturing Errors

    • Written by from NICHOLS HILLS

    8 of 8 people found this useful

    This seems like a terrific product but it wouldn't charge either of our two iPad 2s. I went to the Apple store to exchange it, and tried the replacement before leaving. It didn't charge either, nor did a third Powerstand. We then tried an Apple-owned iPad 2 which did just fine. I called Mophie tech support from the store and was told that quite a few units had "manufacturing errors."

    Bottom line: Some iPads work with the stands, others don't, and there's no correlation. So if you decide to buy one, take all of your iPads to the Apple store and make certain that they work.

    Does Not Charge Period

    This is a beautiful product except for one flaw; it doesn't work and will not charge. As a stand it works fine; but as a charger it is a complete failure. Apparently it was designed for the original iPad and will not work with later versions. Apple needs to remove this product from its stores ASAP.

    I bought two of these for christmas gifts online. Both do not charge. I sure hope somthing this expensive can be returned to the apple store. I have the receipt and the other parties have the item and since I bought it the first week in December there is only a few days left for returns. I am so disgusted.

    Swing and a miss

    • Written by from Syracuse

    I rarely write reviews but this one is well earned-and for all the wrong reasons. I personally purchased the product after doing intel for about a month. Shocked that product seemed to work right out of the box, however adjusted the screen a few times and it would no longer charge. Went back to apple to replace, thinking the stand itself was defective. Brand new stand home and experienced exact same issue. The contact point seems to be weak and will require it be redesigned to get sufficient contact. I can get mine to charge if I forcefully shove ipad into cradle. For $150 I don't think I can live with it. What a shame, I really really want to love this stand. I would not recommend purchasing at this time.

    Doesn't Charge

    I received one of these as a gift. It looks great but it would not charge my second generation iPad. I took it back to an Apple Store where we tried another one. It also wouldn't charge my iPad. Obviously the build quality of these is bad.

    This stand is versatile, well built and beautiful to look at. Now that I have one, my wife wants one because it works so well. It does charge the iPad but you must make sure to press it down into the dock very firmly. Even without the charging capabilities it's worth buying.

    falls short

    • Written by from Juneau

    I was excited to try this new stand at my office for a check-in station. The first one I received had uneven rubber pads on the bottom causing the stand to rock back and forth. Minor, I know, but terribly annoying for a stand that costs $150. Sent that one back and the one they sent me to replace it not only still rocks but has issues charging my iPad. It's going back to Mophie and we'll see what the third one's like.

    The product looks great, but it will not charge my iPad 2. It seems like the stand connector isn't long enough to reach the iPad 2. I am awaiting an answer from support.

    Do not purchase this product if you have a gen 3 or later iPad!

    • Written by from Toronto

    18 of 22 people found this useful

    The tiny change in the girth of the iPad between generations 2 and 3 prevents a reliable connection to be made while the unit is charging. The trade off of removing the iPad and resting on the base negates all of the mophie unit's obvious ergonomic benefits.
