What's great about it: Compact iPad holder works well in tight airplane cockpit.
What's not so great: Wish the sticky pad were bigger, the elastic sturdier
I just got this thingie, the answer to a pilot's prayer. There was no place in my cozy little airplane to put an iPad that didn't block important instruments or my view out the window. Besides, my right-seat passenger complained that it made his hands cramp on long flights, holding the iPad so I could read the charts. The nice salesman at Best Buy, bless him, listened to my problem, and said, "Maybe this will work. It's on sale right now." So I took a chance on it, and it's just right. I mounted the holder on my right-seat passenger's thigh (my own legs are too short and close to the instrument panel) and strapped it snugly, then stuck the iPad on. It swivels so that I can choose between the portrait view and landscape view, and it's not in the way of anything else. The design to hold the iPad upright on a table is nice, too.
Only a couple of quibbles: I'd have made the elastic sturdier, and the sticky pad bigger, because a couple of times in midflight it unstuck itself. Fortunately, my co-pilot has quick reflexes, so no harm done. And I'm sure there's a way to make the swivel stiffer so it stays put better. Just haven't played with it enough to do it. But for any pilot looking for a way mount their moving map-equipped iPad so it can be easily read and out of the way, this is it!

What's great about it: Light, low-profile, easy to use & transport, fits in pocket! Works great with readers too!
What's not so great: StickyPad not designed for heavy tablets
Well made and works exactly as intended! I sit in bed and use my iPAD, but holding it while lying on my back has always been an issue. The leg tether works great! I have an Otter Box for my 3rd Generation iPAD, and it grips just fine. I can see how a leather or smooth case wouldn't hold, but modified it a bit by using thin velcro strips to secure it vs. relying on just the stickypad (soft part on the IPAD and OtterBox case (for "in case" and "out of case" use) This keeps it from slipping at all. Remember that no product is going to perfectly guarantee to hold the full weight or move in every direction possible for every tablet, so a quick mod works fab! Also, get the free "ONLIVE" app from the App Store and you'll have flash and MS Office too for free! Any bluetooth keyboard and mouse, along with the iPAD HDMI adapter allows you to plug into any HDMI compatible flat screen too. This product is versitle and doesn't take up space!! The PadPivot is low-profile, light and easy to transport, especially when flying!

What's great about it: great for using tablet on your lap
What's not so great: sticky pad small for bigger tablets
It does what is advertised to do. you need to be careful if your tablet is heavy or the back is not flat. sticky pad is not meant to hold full weight of the tablet.

What's great about it: Makes swiveling the iPad eay and propping it up more convenient
What's not so great: Not really portable without a little effort to remove it so, you can't really run right out the door.
I love this little gadget. I just wish it was a little easier to leave it attached. Meaning when I want to run out the door I have to pull the back off and then reinsert my iPad into the other case. So I sometimes don,t put it on if I know I want to take my iPad later in the day. But when I'm home, I love it. Stickiness is quite good even after several uses and washing it.

What's great about it: It's cheap.
What's not so great: Didn't suit my needs.
I needed something to stand up my ipad while reading in bead. I thought this might work, but it's only useful if you choose to use your need (which would not work for me) or your desk.
As a desk stand it's decent, but others are better and more functional.
Since I couldn't use it either way I had to give it two stars.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Have been waiting for this to be released from its Kickstarter site for sometime. It works great to hold up the iPad and other devices. However, I do have a back cover on my iPad, of which it fits in the holder, but the sticky, rotating piece, does not stick to the case. Works great on my daughter's iPad without a case though. Using it right now, in fact.

Regarding the strength of the grip plate the following comes from PadPivot website FAQ.
How strong is the holding power of the "Grip Plate"?
It's strong enough to provide great support while sitting with your tablet on your lap or when using the pivot function. The PadPivot weighs next to nothing so it doesn't take a whole lot of holding power to stay with your tablet as you move it around your desk or from one leg to the other.

The "Grip Plate" is not a mechanical connection or a harness and should never be used to hang the full weight of a device. Never use the PadPivot as a handle! Common sense will go a long way in keeping your Tablet safe.

Nice product. The pad holds the stand to the back of a tablet. Don't expect it to hold the weight of a tablet it's not designed for that. Nice while sitting using the stick plate or just propping as a stand on a leg or a table.

What's great about it: Concept.
What's not so great: DOESN'T STICK like its supposed to!
I don't know how the other reviewers are giving this 5 starts. They must work for the company. This was exactly what I needed. Great concept. Cool little gizmo. If it WORKED!!!! I bought it for use with my iPad 2. An almost broke it because of this piece of garbage. The ipad is attached to the pad pivot by a super sticky pad. At first I was afraid I'd have problems getting it off, because it stuck good. It almost as if it has a mind of its own an decides when it wants to stick. It would be on nice and secure. I would be using it, an next thing you know it would just come undone. No force, no weight. Just fall off!! Twice my iPad fell on the floor! It was securely fastened to my leg with the strap, the sticky pad stuck nice an secure. Then it would just decide to NOT stick. I'll be returning it 1st thing tomorrow. Like I said its a shame because I really did like it. If it worked!
Save your money.

What's great about it: Compact and very portable, Versatile in countless ways, Decently priced
What's not so great: Nothing at all.
Everyone who owns a tablet should own one of these. It's by far the best accessory product I've ever owned. Some products are okay for their intended purpose and you use them as needed. This product is designed to be so versatile that you'll end up using it to prop up your device even when you normally wouldn't. You'll basically end up using it in situations where you would think you wouldn't have a free hand. Have a free leg? That's all you need.

I had ordered one of these in the original Kickstarter funding, because it looked like a great concept. Then I started kicking myself, because I hadn't thought to get one for my significant other to use with her tablet.
I am very glad that the creaters were able to work out a deal with Rocketfish, to bring this to a wider market!
As a warning, the package I purchased did not actually have the strap inside it. You may want to check before you leave the store to make certain it is in there. I didn't find out about the missing strap in my package for some time, because she didn't realize there was supposed to be one included, and the stand was well-used, and the receipt gone by that time.

What's great about it: Sleek form, comfortable use, ease of use
What's not so great: Not a thing...seriously.
I actually participated in the campaign on KickStarter a few months ago for this product, so from personal experience it is top-notch. The actual function of it is incredible, it's easy to use and ready at a moments notice. The form-factor is awesome, it honestly looks as if Apple had a hand in the aesthetic design. It truly fits in well with any Apple device, as well as anything Android based. I've used it with my iPad2, iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4th Gen and my girlfriend's Droid Incredible and it's quite possibly the best cradle you can buy. Definitely recommend buying!
