The Best iPad Magnetic Stands And Why You Need One | Mark Ellis Reviews

I’m always trying to find ways to integrate the iPad more wholesomely into my daily work. This has led me down the path of a fascinating yet often overlooked iPad accessory – the magnetic stand, and I’ve found four which I think are worth a look if you’re keen on significantly increasing the functionality of your iPad.

Yes... I may have pronounced 'MagFlött' wrong in this one... but hopefully you can look past that 😉Regardless - are you going to get yourself an iPad stand and if so, what's your main use?

[ghouling]

As an artist.. I've been looking from a stand that will be good to use like a display tablet. I didn't know of these stands until now. Thank you!

I have a MagFlott stand and it’s great. I found out it’s magnets easily hold my iPad Pro firmly with its ESR Magnetic Case still on which is super convenient.
I also discovered that not completing the order and leaving it in the website basket overnight prompted them to email me a 20% discount code which made its price much more palatable.

This is so helpful! I wasn't aware of these stand options, and didn't know I "needed" one, but now I kind of think I do ;) Great info and I appreciate your sharing your experience with these stands.

bought the MagFlott at kick started, took about 4 months to get, it was worth the wait. As Mark said, you did not know you needed it until you are using it. It brings new uses to your iPad.

Love that Benks stand for my mini 6. i'll be getting one, thanks Mark

MagFit does have an iPad Mini version now. I just picked one up myself. It is very similar to that Banks one you talked about.

I rely on my Logitech Folio Touch to such great degree that it’s never off the iPad Pro, so as appealing as a stand is I don’t think I would end up using it. Instead, I just use the kickstand and then have a fully functional laptop beside my Mac even when using the iPad as a display extension. Thanks for the great review though, they sure look like terrific products!

Nice review! Now I know what kind of stand I need! Thanks to your pros/cons comparisons. Will buy one after I replace an old ipad with a newer one. Love your channel! Waiting for the new clips. Thank you for your work, Mark!

I purchased the MagFit magnetic doc - many other reviewers did not attest to the weak magnets. I can confirm that the magnets are fine: the iPad pro jus needs to be aligned with the stand properly which you did not do in this video. The bottom of the ipad is flush with the stand. It‘s a nice piece, but the hinges are a bit too stiff and can‘t be adjusted.

I just ordered the Zelal magnetic VESA mount for my setup. Will use on a basic pole mount to keep the desk clean.

I purchased a stand for my daughter over Christmas, she uses a magic keyboard and trackpad as her go to computer.

Nice review…

Clean and factual.

I love the magflott! That stand is so Pro Display XDR 😁😘

[chrisbogart]

Thanks for the review. I did pick up on tidbits that proved useful and necessary. the existence of the curved USB c power cable that MagFlott includes. I already had a satisfactory magnetic stand for my iPad Pro 11". But with a standard power cord. That started me on a quest - I found one on Amazon, but more so, I had the same issue of the cable sticking out on my old iPad 10.2 that I use in my office. That needed a lightning connector - indeed I found on also on Amazon. Love the concept of these on iPads mounted on stands - helps with cable management. They can also be used with iPhones. Thanks for the tipoff that these existed. If I did not have a good magnetic stand already, I know what I would invest in. Thanks again.

Impeccable appearance, convenient foldable stand, won my heart🥰

[lorcashine]

I had no idea magnets were built into my new iPad Air 5! Thanks for the useful info. and reviews.

[just-jj]

Didn’t even know I needed a stand until I saw this video! 😄 Just bought the Benks one. Looks decent for the price.

[johnc]

Pikata seem to supply a case and stand with built in charging - looks good

[AlexGTech]

Love me some Magflott!! Great video Mark!

[draftierinfern]

I wish someone made a stand that had pass through wireless charging for the iPad. Apple has it with the magic keyboard so clearly it’s possible!
