I need something to hold the iPad mini 2 on my chest as I lie down on my back. I want to watch YouTube while lying down. Can this holder do this?

While I haven't tested the bean bag holder while in bed, I've found it works well while I sit in in various recumbant positions in my recliner.

I have iPad 3 with a smart cover and it holds it just fine. So would guess that mini would work.

I mostly use it that way, but added real beans to hold the weight of my device. The other way I use it is to hold the device when I'm busy with something else and listen to books on tape.

No. This holder is molded to the shape of the ipad and won't fit if the ipad is in any type of case.

I'm sorry.. Please disregard my last answer.. This is one does hold an iPad.. Not sure about a mini.. Will try to find out from my daughter

yes, it can be mounted that way, but be warned that the extension arm is extremely unweildy and not easily positioned at specific angles. If you tighten the grips enough (on a ipad without a case or one with a very thin case) then it will hold on, but I wouldnt keep it that way for too long. Cant speak for it being in place safely for too long. I had to return mine because 1) it was way too inflexible, and 2) it wouldnt hold a ipad with a case. Good luck !

No. An iPhone sits back in one direction. It cannot safely hold any device.

Yes it can. You can check out my review and it goes into more details. This holder is great!

The holder is too small for either of those devices. It may be possible to break off the retainers on each side of the holder (it's plastic) and plug the devices into the mini usb port. You just won't be able to move it around much.

I'm sure it will. It holds my iPad Mini in its portfolio cover just fine, in both upright and landscape positions. It might slide around some but mine has never fallen off. Just know that this stand only props up your device at various angles, it isn't a secure holder.

I'm not sure -- as I don't own any iPads. It comes with 2 different plastic tablet "holders". One is designed for normal sized iPads, is not adjustable, and just snaps onto the fixed iPad size. The other "holder" is adjustable and is designed to hold a variety of differently sized tablets from different manufacturers. In my experience this works OK in landscape mode only for the larger tablets -- for smaller tablets it may also work in portrait mode. So the iPad mini may work with this adjustable adapter, but I can't say for sure as I don't own one.

Regretfully, I must report that in this household we have the IPad 2, Ipad3, and a mini iIPad. Perhaps you could check with the manufacturer. I wish you luck, because the Duragadget holder is a wonderful product that I love even more after a month of use.

Hi Mitch. I own and really love this stand. I'm a musician and Hercules is an iconic name in the music instrument world. To answer you question, yes, you can rotate the holder to suit your view all day long. I do it myself. I also liked that in one stand I can go from tripod to mic stand very easily. My only gripe (and I was going to leave this in my review) is that there is a small "U" shaped rubber piece to protect the exposed edge when in landscape mode and it absolutely needs to be improved upon. I get that it can't be too long on one side, or it will cover the screen, but being U shaped it doesn't come up the back very far and because the back is tapered the thing falls off all the time if you pick it up/walk around with it. It also falls off if you slide the thing around. What they needed to do was make a "J" shaped rubber piece that would go up high on the back end. This would have solved all these issues. Other than that I totally love it. I am not using an iPad Air, so I can't answer that, but I can say there is no way to adjust the depth, so it may be a little loose. You'd have to try for yourself or find someone else on that one. Hope that helps. -Jeff

No you cant. It is designed to hold the iPad directly. And remember this is for the iPad 2 & 3 only. NOT the iPad Air!

The seat-back holder just "holds" the ipad. If your ipad works with the bluetooth connection now, it will continue to work when it is in the holder.

It will attach well enough to hold it securely, the ipad 2 is basically the same size so the case just needs to have a grip from the frame of the holder, I use mine with a semi soft case and it's very secure, I believe the Otterbox case will secure in as well.

Manufacturer Response - It will hold the iPad mini in landscape ONLY. This Stabile 2.0 is designed for the full sized iPad and iPad Air and other tablets of similar size. Please see product bullet points and product description. Our current stand for the iPad mini is the PED4 Planet IPM10 (you may search by product name).

There should be no problem as it easily supports the iPad and the holding area can be minamized quite a bit more.I am on the roughest oil lease roads in NM & TX and the holder works great.

Not sure with the mini. There is a strap that holds it in place but yours may be to small for it to hold.
