As long as you have a long enough cord to reach the outlet there is nothing obstructing the ability to charge. The pads hold well but I would like a number of sorts for accidents. I also wish the IPad holder would swivel in all directions.

I don't use the boom arm. I have the holder connected to the vertical stem. no problem charging it on the stand. The rubber corner holders are very secure. I let my grandsons play with the iPad in the holder while my son cuts their hair. They play rough and the holder stands up to their abuse.

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.

I was not successful with that . I got a message that it was not an authorized charger and it would overheat. I didnt continue because i was afraid of ruining my ipad

Also, I would recommend all ram products, but if you are using on a boat, airplane, ect., you probably have the ipad in a case, so I'd recommend the spring loaded style cradle rather than this " no case" one. Still stick with ram brand.

No, you should also know that the top clip that holds the IPad is very fragile. I had to replace mine the first time stand tipped over. This means replacing the entire IPad holder.

Yes, definitely! They've designed the stand with a slot in the bottom to accomodate the charging/power cable. You would connect the iPad to it's cable before you put it into the stand. Also, another easy way to have the iPad in the stand while connected is to simply turn the iPad so that the port is at the top instead of the bottom which of course, puts the 'home' button at the top of the screen too so you may or may not care for that ;-)

I charge it when I have to re-charge the ipad.. it all depends on if you forget to shut it off & how much you use it..... like I have a time or two....

I use mine in the case. When the I-pad is open so is the case. My case has a keyboard separate from the I-pad, and when I want to use the keyboard I just turn it on. When I just want to read, I fold the keyboard back out of the way behind the pad. I believe the covers were made to leave on. Bonnie

make sure you are closing all your apps before charging back up, press the "Recent apps" soft button (left of the home button) then press close all. clear your notifications as well, swipe down then press X under the sound bar. I've noticed that turning off wifi also cuts down on recharge time and greatly increased standby time when the tablet is not in use for hours at a time. i'll update this post with more info when i charge mine from 5-10% to full, as i haven't brought it down that far yet. keep in mind that this is quite a large capacity battery (9,500 mAh) hence the 13 hour use time without charging, compared to the recent iPad Air's 8,800 mAh/10 hour battery. its going to need some time to get back up to fully charged.

I bought two for our bedroom nightstands. They are not too tall for my purposes but you should probably measure up from your nightstand.I love them because I can plug in my phone and iPad to charge.

Hi Alex, it is fantastic... I love it in my car (Mini Cooper)... the only thing is, because the ipad fits in nicely it can rattle a tiny bit. So, what I did was I bought those felt stick on pads (you know, those tiny little things) and put them on the mount for the ipad to rest against. now, it is as snug as can be and is perfect! It is, WELL worth the money

Most tablets won't work without at least some charge. You'd likely have to allow your tablet to get back up to 5% or 10% charge before you could power your iPad back up. Generally, I recommend plugging into a battery pack such as this before your tablet actually gets that low, so you can avoid having to wait. If you plug in your tablet at 10%, you can continue to use it as the battery charges.

I was able to get a charge to my iPad while on battery power alone. I think I remember reading though that if the battery starts getting low the unit will discontinue charging via USB in an effort to conserve battery life.

Negative. The camera is covered up when locked onto the stand. So this is no good for that. If you're handy, you might be able to modify it to do that... but it it would involve cutting metal pieces off and installing some kind of jerry-rigged strap to hold the iPad in place. Or you can just punch a hole through the metal part that covers the camera.

Sorry, I cannot really help. I have no devices like iPads that take more current to charge. Mine is used to charge 2 iPod Touches and two vanilla (old, not smart) phones. I also use it to charge a Kindle and occasionally another device or two. None of them high power. For my purposes, it works great.

I don't know if it will still be "fully" powered, but I only pull mine out every week or two, and it still holds A LOT of power. One problem with being able to tell how quickly or slowly this drains while sitting is that it holds a TON of power. It could be down 20%, and I'd never notice because it will still recharge my iPod and Kindle so many times. Anyone use this on an iPad?

I have been able to get as many as four full charges and a 30%+, also I have charged my ipad 2 with the mycharge. it can charge the ipad from dead to 50% one time before the mycharge needs to be charged. If you are using the device while charging you lose one full charge and that 30%+. Also myCharge will be warm to the touch, and may interfer with your service slightly(lose of a bar nothing major). Hope this answers your question.
