How comfortable is it to ride with a tablet? Is there any way to place. an ipad on the display?

It has a lip to hold it. I use my Samsing Galaxy Note on it all the time. It even comes with the audio cable to play your tunes through the stereo speakers that are built-in. Everyhing is great except the seat. Plan on putting your own on.

Great question. An iPad can actually rest comfortably on the display. There is a little lip that stops it from slipping off. Quite convenient. I use my iPad 99% of the time I am on the bike. It does block a large part of the display, obviously, but I just move it when I want to see where I am.

Pretty easy! There is a small ledge on the bottom of the display I set my iPad on :)

I don't have one but I believe they sell an accessory that hangs over the screen for that purpose. Otherwise it would be a little difficult. There is a spot for water bottle etc but it's not real big

Comfort is subjective. I can say for a gel seat it is not the most comfortable I have sat on. There is a small lip that I believe a tablet will fit fine in... Apple iPad etc. Some of the thicker tablets may not like Microsoft's surface. Keep in mind that if you have a tablet and use it, it will cover the screen and you will not be able to see the display to see your progress.

On the console there is a bar to hold a magazine or your ipad...can read either comfortably.

There is a ledge at the base of the display that is perfect for placing an ipad. I watch Netflix on my ipad in this way while I bike.

No Problem, there is a lip that you set tablet or kindle on, then adjust the level/height you want for viewing/reading. Karen

The tablet works very well in the stand. You can put it in whatever position or degree of slant and maintains your position. Buy it, you won't regret it.

Matt, The unit itself is very stable. The keyboard doesn't shift in relation to the iPad and the iPad maintains the angle you choose. But I hate typing on my lap, because the iPad & keyboard is much smaller than a laptop. I had the exact situation Saturday and the unit moved because my legs don't lend themselves to stability. I can't keep my thighs together (good thing I'm not a woman!). My solution is to put my briefcase or a large folder/tablet on my lap to provide a more stable surface. But the shifting is not the fault of the Airbender. In fact, I'm finding is very stable in almost every configuration.

once ipad is seated in the case it functions like a netbook. the fit is very snug and i would think it would be hard to knock ipad from the case. i will admit it is a tad bit top heavy so if you need to touch the screen it would be best to use a stylus or tap lightly. i use my rockefish while carpooling and have noticed that the smooth finish on bottom of case will slide on my lap a bit when i wear slippery slacks like silk, but sits nicely on denim :)

I don't know about a tablet I have never owned one. It opens like a laptop and the screen turns 180 degrees and then closes again so u can hang it on a headrest.

I'm only using an iPad. I have arthritis & I find it very comfortable to use.

It's not a portable tablet. Think of it as another monitor that you have to connect to your computer that you can draw on with a stylus.

Yes. Very easy to place a tablet. I use one hand to place and remove My iPad mini.

Hi Barbara. I have the ipad which works good traveling. This product does come with a stick on pad (best way for me to describe it) to put down before you put your tablet in to help with it to fit in more securely. I hope this helps!

It is just a base to use any device. I think it is great. It has a good ledge and can place my Ipad at any angle. Go for it!

The angle is pretty much set. You are not able to have the tablet sit on an angle of your choosing.

The tf300 came in today and i must say this thing is nice. I'm going to look at an ipad 3 this weekend and only if im just blown away by the screen then im going to keep this. I had such buyers remorse tell I powered this thing up. Thanks for all the advice

I use mine primarily for display and take the tablet out for use. It's solid, though. When I do switch apps or do minor typing... there's no shake at all.

Yes, that is the tablet I have. The tablet sits better horizontally. It is flimsy when resting vertically like the picture shows and is very unstable when using a stylus to navigate through the screen. You need to use one hand to steady the tablet while the other is working the stylus. I often rest the tablet against a book or something similar to view and use the keyboard without holding the tablet for typing.

I do not own an iPad, so I cannot make a one-to-one comparison. Nevertheless, the toughness of the S24C770T's screen is not an issue or a concern. However, when the unit is off, its surface is like a black mirror.

Yes, the console has a tablet holder over the upper display. You can easily watch stuff....but won't be able to see the information on the upper display.
