Has anyone damaged iPad moving it around a lot? Use outside? winds blow over? I'm just worried about it because our house is very cluttered/remodeling mess... and the thing is probably top-heavy--easy to tip over? Guess using arm would be much less...

It's pretty stable. Especially if you make sure that the boom arm is directly above one of the legs. The longer you make the boom, the more tippy. With the arm 1/2 way extended or less, you should have no problems outdoors.

I have the new iPad Air and it works great. I was kind of worried when I saw the elastic "hair" style of straps for holder, but they are actually really strong, and I would not worry about it about it at all now. I would recommend buying a four extra small straps, once the other ones wear out. The holding pad is a little wider but you really do not notice it while reading (I purchase the white clear stand..blends in better?) I use this stand for reading while surfing the internet on my laptop, or watching TV. I usually keep it plugged in as well, which is easy from the side of the stand. It is pretty secure on the stand. Hope this helps. I have the new iPad Air and it works great.

There is nothing to hold the top edge of a tablet locked into place. The tablet wobbles when poked as would happen when playing a game or typing. Possibly this would be not be significant with light touch.

We have not had a problem moving it around - however we do move it only once in a great while. I would highly recommend the iPad and iPhone I magnets both my husband and I love ours! And use them all the time!

I love it.......If you just bump the iPad it is OK, if you really hit it, it will come apart. I have had no problem with mine.

I'm having this problem too. Have placed 200lbs worth of books on top of it and it still curls right back up. Not as bad as initially, but it's still pretty bad.

The iPad doesn't have a hard drive, so should be no issue causing damage to stuff stored on iPad. I have not had any issues with it causing problems with the screen. The magnet is on the back side, so it isn't on the screen.

No it doesn't tip over on my lap. I think it is balanced based on the angle of the iPad and the placement of the magnetic strip. if you tip it too far forward the iPad will tip towards you. That has only happened when I'm using my lap tray with an added pillow tilting it forward while laying down in bed.

There will always be a bad apple whether its the product or the person reviewing it. Sometimes people just have bad luck with products. But we haven't regretted our purchase for even a second. We love it. Good luck with yours if you get it. Just be sure to do the support on the bottom the proper way and I think you'll be really pleased with it. We may have gone a little overboard on the framing of the base but that's how we roll. Lol

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. Matt, The unit itself is very stable.

Hey I had the same thing happen to me, I had just taken off the rubber protective backing to clean it, and it slipped out of my wet hands (cleaner) and onto hard (practically stone) floor! It shattered mostly at the top.. but it still works perfectly , the camera, mic etc.. all good,! I only bought it 3 months ago, for over 200 bucks, and an apple rep said it would cost over 100 dollars to replace screen~ ! Insane!! I am looking and hopefully have found a clip on set with a hard rubberized clear front, and backing, that will protect it, and hopefully keep it from getting worse! The regular screen protectors will not go on do to "bumpy texture" .... Your post did not say if yours is still working or not, but if it is,, I will let you know if it works.. and you let me know if you get anything out of your warranty. Deal? I hope so! Thanks Kimmy

Hi, Scott. It's a very lightweight table, so unless there is an umbrella with a heavy base in the middle, I think it would easily tip over. However, I think it's pretty durable to wear and tear, despite being light. Does this help?

If you still don't have any luck, I can try to post a video this weekend of how to lock it in. It's really a secure case in that respect. I've dropped my ipad so many times and it remains securely in the case. Let me know if you think a video would help or if you've just moved on entirely :-)

With normal use this cover is fine. However, if your iPad is dropped on a hard surface it will probably result in damage. The key here is to handle it with kid-gloves and you won't have any issues.

I ran my ipad over (was in the winter guess it fell out of my bag) and bent back housing along with shattering my LCD and screen. I just bent the ipad back as best I could and the screen fits just fine! Just do a test fix before you use the adhesive and get it squared away!

Ditto Frank's comment. We had to remove the cover from the ipad, but the keyboard is great. Just be careful, it does not hold it tight, and if you try to pick it up by the keyboard, disaster could ensue.

I've had my unit for 4 months - it's never been knocked over and I haven't noticed any damage to the port. The slot into which the tablet fits is quite tight and this accounts for most of the "holding properties" of the dock - in other words, the tablet doesn't simply stay upright in the dock because of the charging port connection.
