Is it stiff enough so that when you tilt the ipad it doesn't rock back down? Also- If I made a frame to go around the ipad, could it hold the weight

You can adjust the tension of each joint with a hex key and a socket wrench. I've adjusted each individually to have more or less stiffness based on what will be the primary use and the most common motion I foresee.

If you tilt the iPad it stays in place and the arm doesn't flex. As for the frame question, I don't know. As long as it is under 5 pounds I'd guess it to be okay but you'll have to see for yourself. I love the stand, by the way.

The iPad doesn't rock back down when angled. The clips are shaped to fit securely onto the lip of the iPad. They will only fit around your frame if the edge of your frame is the exact same edge as an iPad. That said, the nut holding the tilting axis can be tightened to be quite stiff.

It's stiff enough to hold the iPad in place. If you put a frame around it, might be to heavy.

Not the same as horizontally tilted at an angle as shown in the photo. The ipad cannot rotate in the case, so there is no way to prop it up vertically. You could stand the case on it's side, but your ipad would be completely vertical, not at an angle. If the other reviewer knows how to do it, please explain as I would like to know as well...

I believe this rubberized case will absorb a lot of shock but if it falls a certain way, your screen will break. For example, as long as you don't land your ipad mini screen on a rock, you are fine:)

Yes.I actually returned mine though because its wobbly. Doesn't slide as softly as I hoped for!

The top definately makes the ipad heavier but for me it is totally worth it. It doesnt tip over easily when you use the correct side (i.e. magnetic side with the keyboard) but you have to be careful not to use the other side cuz it does tip over then.

You can't lock the angle in place but it's stiff enough not to move due to vibrations. Haven't had any issues with that.

It's not meant to, however, I haven't tried to see if one side is strong enough to hold the iPad. It certainly wouldn't stand portrait in the middle. You'd have to balance it on one side or the other.

It's not a formal adjustment, but yes you can position it a bit by moving the back leg forward and back. In the photo they show it is at full recline, but you can shimmy it up closer to the base to have your iPad rest more vertically. The base back leg is rubberized so it should stay in place but there is no formalized click or anything to have it click into various resting levels.

Its very very heavy. It would not tip over. I have kids who play with it at times. Its not a problem. You would be happy with it.

Hi, it does hold the Ipad securely but it will be as secure as YOU make it. The holders are elastic so, if you don't make sure they are on tight enough your device can definitely fall. So far, it has worked fine for me. The mount may have been made larger so that you can use it with other devices other than the Ipad. One thing I don't like so much about this stand is that the base is incredibly heavy so if I have to take it up the stairs it's a bit of a chore.

Absolutely! Is solid enough for that. I already tries it and is no loose or tilting.

I use it for this and also for my ipad and it works great. Very sturdy. I think you could get smaller ones, but this one is very stable and you can also use it with an ipad. very portable too

it's pretty stable on a table (!) but you cannot expect much protection in a fall, and zero protection if it's open when it falls. ipads are pretty heavy, and are pretty easy to damage in a fall. i do like the device very much.

I personally don't own an ipad so haven't tried it, but it's quite study, it should hold it fine. You'd need a very strong wind to knock both the stand and tablet over.The stand is great and very light. The one drawback is that it doesn't fold to a size small enough to fit in a backpack or instrument case, the folded stand is still kind of long and can't be disassembled further.

It is strong enough to write on it or use your fingers. In fact I am using it right now. I really love it. The stand is strong and you can tilt the iPad and spin it around for landscape or portrait viewing or typing. It does not need any reinforcement with your hands. No doubt you will find it very comfortable to use. The strap works very well on its own also. And again you can spin it around while holding it for either portrait or landscape viewing. Good luck!

Yes, but it can easily tilt if back drop is too heavy. I'm currently using a huge Muslim backdrop in addition to randomly overlapping other background and it still stands sturdy. But I am looking to use sandbags, etc. as weights just incase.

There is nothing to hold the ipad in place other than the lip on the bottom so if you jostle it around or do not keep it relatively level your ipad will slip off. There are two pieces of grip tape along the bottom to minimize sliding but both strips fell off of mine within the first couple of months.
