  • Perfect for a kneeboard
I previously bought the myclip for my iPad mini and it obscures the screen and my IPad actually fell off my leg when flying. I purchased the Appstrap 5 for my iPad Mini and iPad Air. Works well for both, it connects side to side for my iPad Air. For the mini it connects top to bottom and has a hole in the clip so I can still charge my iPad with the strap installed. It is very secure and works well with the Otterbox case on both. Also like the fact that it does not obscure the screen. ... show more

  • So far so good, but still far from great.
I was on a short timeline to find an iPad mini-compatible kneeboard solution for a commercial single pilot IFR cockpit and saw this item on Amazon. Overall, it does the job, but I just feel like it could do a lot better. It accomplishes the basic job of keeping an EFB on the leg. (And even generally where I want it, most of the time.) But even with the accompanying tilt pads, it's still way too unstable for a five star rating. It's sloppy, even when you get the leg strap sized in. Its weakest link is that it is least stable in the EFB "portrait" orientation of the device (not the screen), which I use most frequently with my EFB display. Among the notable perks of this device is that it is seemingly well built. It's right in line with paper kneeboard products I have used for years. No one can make those last forever, and I am sure this strap will eventually wear out (as other reviews discuss). Still, out of the box it is still more robust than most cockpit organizer products. Nice. Another advantage is that it accommodates a wide range of platforms (iPad, AMZ Fire, Google Nexus). It also meets the daunting task of letting you do this with something as thick as the Otterbox Defender on your EFB. Most EFB holders can't do that - and require you to keep the EFB out of any sort of case. (Experience, and two destroyed iPads, have proven this is not a good idea.) The problem with being generally good at a lot of things, is that it's not extremely good at any particular EFB I was able to use. This review is tied primarily to the iPad mini (5th Gen) I use with ForeFlight. My biggest complaint is that the strap is most stable for you in the landscape orientation: largely because the EFB-clip strap will only fit a mini in one direction (up/down) which exposes only about half of the available leg strap velcro to the EFB. When you use the EFB in landscape orientation, it allows the full strip of the EFB-clip strap available velcro to engage - as a result, the holder is literally 100 percent more stable (because twice the surface area is able to bind). I'm just not a fan of this design. Even using the included "tilt pads" to try to correct the portrait setup stability is a recipe for disappointment. Coupled with this, the "tilt pads" tend to fall off or pop out when you remove the leg strap, leaving you fumbling for black colored items on the floor of a dark cockpit. I appreciate where this accommodation came from, but suggest more brainstorming on implementation. I can definitely understand the criticism on price. If this accommodated smaller EFBs in the portrait orientation, you'd get a lot less complaints. Otherwise, it is just sort of a strap and velcro set that was clearly not designed specifically for the smaller EFB. As a result, the feeling is that this is somewhat overpriced for what it is, whether or not that is accurate. But take it or leave it. It's the best item available as of the time I could find this which can accommodate your iPad mini (5th Gen) while it's in a thick case like the Otterbox. ... show more

  • Ok
It holds my iPad 5 just fine. No extras just that, and for the price, it does the job

  • Finally ended my search for a versatile, effective kneeboard-style tablet holder for the cockpit
I had been searching for a system to secure my Apple MiniPad and Asus Nexus 7 tablets at a reasonable price. I use both my Nexus 7s and iPad Mini for aviation information while piloting my plane. I tried and discarded some cockpit mounting systems and then started looking for a kneeboard that worked for me. I had been through two expensive cockpit mounts (RAM and another) and four leg-mounts (a high-tech OttoPilot system that was too tall, a conventional kneeboard with a clip that created issues, a HeliPad kneeboard that was way too complex and another one with its own case that was MiniPad-specific), all more pricey than the AppStrap) before I found this. I had also tried just putting the tablet on my lap, but it sometimes got away, especially in turbulence. I have protective covers on my tablets, which means that you must remove the armor to attach the tablet to custom-fit mounts and most leg-strap systems. That adds an extra step to preflight preparation and leaves the device uncovered at least briefly. Unfortunately, as three friends have demonstrated, that brief period is a time when tablets are very likely to be dropped, since you are getting in and out of the plane. With the AppStrap, I don't need to remove the thick armor from my device; the AppStrap just quickly clips right on over the protective cases. It is also flexible; it fits both versions of the Nexus 7 (2012 and 2013), the iPad Mini, my Nexus 9 (no cover yet), and my Samsung 10-inch tablet, all with or without covers. With all but the ten-incher, I put the clips on the ends. With the big one, they go on the sides. (It is too long to clip to my 6.5-inch-long HTC One Max "phablet" phone, however.) You can shift from landscape to portrait orientation just by pulling apart the two straps of the system at their Velcro junction and reattaching them at 90 degrees from the normal mode. The wedges allow you to tilt it if desired. Oddly enough, the strap that clips to the tablet also made it possible to mount my tablets to an expensive yoke mount that I purchased that would only hold the MiniPad and only if I removed the cover. I just stuck some adhesive-backed Velcro on the mount's face to stick the tablet in the clip strap to the yoke mount. My only complaint is that the AppStrap is a bit overpriced for what it is -- a bit of web strapping, some stretchy strap to circle your leg, a helping of hook-and-loop fastener, two little wedge pillows, two plastic clips and a plastic buckle. Still, it apparently isn't TOO expensive, since this is the second one I've bought. ... show more

  • Better than others
I’ve been using a similar product for several years. One of my students, in searching for what I had, found this one. After looking at it, I bought one too. I love the clip on the leg strap rather than Velcro which scratches my legs when wearing shorts on those long hot Georgia days. The little “pillows” to position the EFB are a nice touch although a little goofy in the attachment process. All in all, this is a very good product which does exactly what it should and doesn’t scratch my leg with Velcro. Definitely better than the other one!, so I’ll find someone to give my old one to… ... show more

  • Too big for an iPad Mini 6
Description states it will fit tablets 8-10" wide or long, but in reality, the devices needs to be 8 1/2" or greater. The clamps don't even come close to holding an ipad mini 6 with case in place.

  • Good product
Tried it in on a three hour trip in my Cessna 150 with a 10.5 inch IPad. Very happy with how well it kept the IPad securely in place.
