Scosche IPD2FR Exercise Mount for new iPad / iPad2 / iPad

 (3 customer reviews)

I bought one of these at the Apple Store while drunk, and I'm not sure I would have bought it while sober. $50+ is a lot to pay for an iPad stand. That said, this device promises several advantages -- it works propped up on a table or airline tray, or it can hang from the back of a seat or the control panel of an exercise machine. It's made of metal and it folds flat. It delivers on all these promises, and I've gotten good use out of it. I have only two complaints -- first, the little sticky pads are pointless on a stand that's going to be used only some of the time, and when the iPad is not in place they tend to accumulate dust and garbage. Second, $50+ is too much for a sober person to pay.

Bought this item yesterday and tried it out twice on the treadmill, it's pretty awesome. Finally I can watch my favorite shows and movies while running...and finally i don't have to settle for TV shows, news interrupted by tons of commercials.
The iPad mount seems very stable and the way it is engineered, it is pretty much guaranteed that it won't fall off the treadmill. Furthermore it is very compact and can be transported to the gym rather easily in the pouch which comes with it.

The only downside is the price: 50 Dollars for this item is way too much; 30 Dollars would be more appropriate.

Happy running.

This exercise mount is great. I love being able to use my iPad at the gym without worrying it will fall off of whatever machine I am on. I also love that the mount folds up very compactly.
