Would this survive if used on a 20ft boat at sea? My plan is to put Ipad in a zip lock bag and use this to hold secure at the center console on a rail

Yes, The grip is very strong, But I think the rail that you would connect to would have to be 1/2" or less. The clamp is very strong also, but you would need to torque the screw down fairly tight for it to stay in position on a boat. But, yes, I think that it would work out fairly well....

I believe that would be fine. The instructions show it attached to a boat. There are mounting holes.

I'm sure it would prevent it from sinking. My camera is heavier than my phone and it holds it up. The camera is submerged but the float stays on the surface

It's stiff enough to keep the iPad in one place (but it does vibrate quite a bit while driving). Moving it is easy enough. The catches for the iPad are quite stiff and hold the iPad very securely. I'm happy with the product.

Hi Luke, It is very secure. I have ladder holes on my pontoon boat so it is very secure and 200lb plus people have used it without any troubles.

Jordan, although this case is not waterproof I was also thinking about using it in my Kayak. Most decent GPS/Fish finders carry atleast an IPx7 rating basically what this means is that it will withstand incidental exposure to water of up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes. So IMHO I think you would be fine using this, if the boat flips make sure it comes out of the water ASAP and dry it off. Shouldn't be a problem.

Its secure. there is a spring loaded tab that holds it in. you would have to bang it real hard to get it to fall out. If the airplane or train lurches that hard, your iPad is the least of your problems.

I don't think I would use it underwater. I think it is just meant to keep the weather (sand/rain/snow) from harming the tablet.

It is made for iPads so I would have to guess it would not hold much weight. I have never used it for anything other than my iPad.

Not very well, no. the inside of the case is covered with light weight felt. So, if the iPad is had a steep angle it will hold up. If it is at a flatter angle, say 30 degrees it slips down. I usually place my iPhone in front of the iPad on the felt with I don't have the keyboard there for support. On another note, the keyboard works very well and the batter life is crazy good. I used it lightly, perhaps, once a day for 30 minutes an the unit did not need a recharge for 6 months. Crazy. Altogether I am very happy with the purchase. The case is super thin and lightweight. As solid value.

It is a strong little item. I've used it on many a pc and it has done no damage. I cannot attest to the iPad.

I never tested the theory. I think the iPad is to heavy even with maximum air trapped inside. Would risk it. Use strap to tie it off....

I use my bag for saltwater and it holds up well. The zippers are coated pretty well and I don't think they will rest. The only thing is the pull strings come off and you have to tie them back on.

I use it on a boat too. Don't think I would consider it "water proof", but it gets splashed on once in a while.

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.

It would absolutely survive a river run. There are some sturdy loops you can use to connect this to others. We've had one for about 7 years now and use it heavily for lounging out in the lake all summer long. It's faded and worn looking, but structurally great. It's the "anchor" for our flotilla too. We connect an anchor and 2 to 5 more floats to it. It's awesome!

I ususally use it on my lap with a pillow underneath. It stays secure. However, there is nothing locking it in place so if there was a sharp movement on a bus/train it could possibly be knocked off.
