The Infinity stand is the cheapest option on this list, but that doesn’t mean you’ll have to sacrifice build quality if you opt for it. Just like every Benks product I’ve tested, the Infinity is built like a tank. The hinge is stiff (possibly a little too stiff) and the magnets confidently take a hold of your iPad. We like that the stand will not only adjust its height and viewing angles but also allow you to rotate it 360 degrees. The last-mentioned functionality is incredibly helpful for sharing onscreen content at school and work.

If you want to write or draw on your iPad or to otherwise use the touchscreen, then you might need something that will hold the device more firmly so that it won't wobble when you touch the screen. For that, you have versatile options like the Twelve South Hoverbar Duo at the top of our selection or the Twelve South ParcSlope if you're looking for an iPad stand that's super stable for drawing. Here are a brief list and explanation of the various types of mounts including arm holders, desk mounts, car holders, and floor mounts. I opted for the iPad mini version, which fits the iPad mini 6 perfectly. Indeed, if that’s your iPad of choice, the Infinity is the only magnetic stand on this list to cater for Apple’s tiniest tablet. And trust me, if you think the iPad mini is too small to justify a stand, think again; I’ve loved having the ability to perch mine so elegantly and safely next to my iMac while working away in the kitchen.

It wasn't that long ago that serious digital artists needed a Wacom or similarly drawing-focused tablet. That is no longer the case--- all you need is an iPad and a drawing stand like the MAX SMART Tablet Drawing Stand. Compatibility: All iPads from 2017, excluding iPad mini (although some iPads require the Magfit magnetic case – see Option 4, below) To summarize my experience with the X36, for me, it was exactly what I needed and wanted. It fits perfectly into my all iPad workflow. It allows me to use my iPad in multiple ways on my desk like in tablet mode, but also in stand mode. The build quality is extremely premium as well! If you are in a similar situation as I am, then this is a no-brainer. Storage: Do you have enough space for a large tablet arm mount? If you don’t, you might want to invest in a foldable device.

Once I got it set up I noticed that the stability of this iPad arm stand was amazing. Each hinge and axis was extremely sturdy; it held up in any position. The magnet strength was on another level. The iPad fits securely on the magnetic plate and the strength of the magnet allows you to adjust the arm very easily without accidentally popping off the iPad. Versatility & adjustability Floor mounts: These can also be called standing mounts. They’re iPad mounts that can stand upright on the floor. Their heights are usually adjustable. So, now that I’ve hopefully given you some food for thought when it comes to use cases for iPad stands, let’s look at four great options. Option 1: CharJenPro MagFlött This stand doesn’t raise the tablet very high off the desk, but you could adjust for that by putting it on top of a box or book, although that’s not ideal as it will reduce its stability. The Type-C PD input on the rear of the hub can draw 100W of passthrough power, but will obviously only charge your iPad at its maximum wattage. The benefit of the 100W is that you can charge a number of devices from the hub – such as your iPhone and AirPods – at the same time.Car mounts: There are several types of car mounts. They’re usually attachable to dashboards, windshields, headrests, etc. This stand also comes with a stylus, so you can control your iPad without touching it or shaking it. It’s compatible with most 7-13 inch tablets and has port access, so you can charge your laptop while it’s in use. Key Features

A keyboard case feels like it's a necessity with the iPad nowadays, and if you're using one in an active area, then it's worth snagging the Rugged Pro Connect case. It's bulky but super protective of the iPad—even protecting the screen. The case connects to the keyboard via the Smart Connector, though it requires some precise aligning to get it hooked up. Once it's in place, start typing away! It's nice to type on, there's no Bluetooth to worry about, and you don't have to recharge the keyboard. There's a Lightning port on the right side edge that'll pass-through charge the iPad (it's only available for the seventh-, eighth-, and ninth-gen iPads). It’s double-hinged, too (although the pre-release version I was sent didn’t have the base hinge), which means you have the option of lowering the iPad to the table if you want a super low-profile angle or folding it flat for easy transportation. Portrait and landscape orientation are also available via the 360-degree adjustable mount.Although the arm mounts can help us in a lot of ways, they’re an often overlooked or underestimated piece of furniture. They can be useful in education, business, cooking, etc. They should come with the iPad. Using an iPad makes many of our tasks much easier, and our daily lives a little bit better. We take them almost everywhere; they’re our digital assistants. However, there’s not a single person who’d like to hold an iPad 24/7. And therein lies the need for iPad arm mounts. There’s just one issue – the magnets aren’t as strong as the other stands on this list. And that’s rather unnerving if you’re an iPad Pro 12.9″ owner. Rather than using this as a Mac hub (losing the iPad charging is a bit of a bummer in that scenario), it does present a rather awesome use case for anyone who wants to turn their iPad into a fully-fledged multiport device, complete with SD card slots, USB-A 3.1 inputs, and a 4K@60Hz HDMI output.
