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 stable.

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.

Use a sandbag on the base outside with a small bag on the boom, especially with the boom extended all the way. Definitely stable enough to move around inside as much as you want. Inside, I like using the arm to get the ipad over my head to watch movies in bed. I use a small one pound wrist weight on the end of the boom to keep it balanced when I extend the boom inside.

For me it's very stable. I haven't use outside. I use it in my room. No IPad damage moving around. It's easy To store in short places. For me is perfect.

I throw it in my big purse with my iPad, papers, etc. every day. If you've taken a sip, just wipe off the top as a small amount will usually remain in the top part (you'll see what I mean when you use it). The top screws on and you have to push a button on the back of the top when you want to take a sip, so I can't imagine what could hit it hard enough to push the button or unscrew the top. I do usually keep it standing up, but I wouldn't be afraid if it fell over. Enjoy!

My sister and brother have iPad Minis and I have the larger iPad. All of us have the corresponding keyboard and in chatting with them, none of us have any issue concerning stability with the keyboard on our laps or a table top. None of us have used it in bed, so can't help you there.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Once you put your hand in the grip, your I pad won't swivel at all unless you change it yourself. I've never had any trouble with ours. My husband likes to hold it in the vertical position while i prefer the horizontal. We've had it for a few years and it still works as well as the day we purchased it.

I have not had any issue with this tipping over and I have a very wild 4 year old. I use this indoors only and don't secure it down. It might slide around a little bit but nothing big. We really enjoy this but if you have older kids 6,7,8 get a bigger one. This is perfect for my 4 year old and two other similar aged kids :) I hope that helps answer your questions.

Searched Internet and YouTube. Sorry I don't remember specifically. Look in the reviews to see if someone posted a link. It was difficult and corner broke a little due to my iPad corner being crunched. The instructions warned about this. Good luck.

My iPad works great with my cover on it. I just fold it back behind on the stand, also my cover can easily be taken off. I have used it both ways without a problem. Hope this answers your question.

Ours is sturdy and has never fallen, however, it never encounters wind. It stands on shiny, slippery tiles and gets bumped every day by people passing by and adjusting it. As was stated by someone else, stability is determined by keeping the panels folded, i.e., at 90 degree angles, bunched together. We learned from previous experience with screens -- if you over-extend the screen, it will fall when bumped; folded/bunched, ours never falls.

Very stable. Ours hangs from the bed headboard and it doesn't really bounce at all when you tap. It is probably most resistant to movement when you have it in a bind. For example, if you crane the neck to where it is under the most tension on one side/compression on the other, it doesn't move as much as if you had the neck perfectly straight. This is true for most things in general though, so I suppose it depends on what orientation you are looking for. That said, it's minimal bounce is perfectly acceptable in any position as a means to swipe and tap around the iPad; I probably wouldn't want to write a novel on it like that though. Very stable.

I have a 2nd generation Ipad and I feel its a little heavy for the Tail. You have to form the tail in a position where it'll hold it up but even then it'll lean or drop.

First off, you need to purchase a umbrella stand. You can purchase through amazon like I did. Worth the cost. I live in NM and the winds this spring have exceeded 70mph. It hasn't tip over or shattered glass. Glass does break. If you get the stand, your chances are greater, that it won't break.

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.

It's done pretty well for us... As drops go... I would be afraid if a little one threw it... So far our devise has survived a few drops... It also depends on what edge it lands on... The bottom is substantially thicker/better protection than the top. Hope you find this helpful.. Jc

I haven't had problems, but bear in mind that I don't use it real often. I know it should not collapse. Hope it helps.

Ours is on an upper deck which has indoor/outdoor carpet on it and it is very stable. If you have a thick pad under your carpet it may have a slight spongy feel but I would not think you would have a problem with it tipping over. It does have rollers so you can take it in the kitchen or anywhere with a solid surface. The sports club I attend has theirs on a thicker carpet than ours and they are stable. The machine is very nice and easy to put together in about 15 minutes.

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.

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!
