    Won't Charge

    • Written by from Calgary

    I purchased one of these last night to go with my Ipad 3. The Ipad fits in the stand very securely, but unfortunately it would NOT charge my Ipad 3. I'm going to try exchanging it and see if a different one will work. It is a very sturdy and elegant product, but if it doesn't charge then it isn't worth the price. It looks like the Ipad sits as far down in the bottom slot as possible, but it does not seem to be far enough in to make proper contact to allow charging.

    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.

    High # of Manufacturing Errors

    • Written by from NICHOLS HILLS

    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.

    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.
