My big clip by Stephen from Louisville KY USA
Pros: Easy to use. Comfortable. Review: Overall, a good product. The one drawback is that it is oriented at the same angle as your leg. The workaround that I use is to slid my sunglasses case under the top edge of the iPad to tilt it upward to make it easier to read.

Simple and effective by A Customer from Wasilla AK USA
Pros: Simple Cons: common sense that one size does not fit all Review: Fit to my Nexus 7 once I got the Otter Box put on and made some alterations by sewing it to fit.

Review: Well, I finally found it, an iPad thigh mount that actually works if it is in a case. Now, granted, my "case" is a standard, hard rubber Apple case, fairly thin, which I like and see no need for anything else. I mean, if I want a briefcase to hold stuff I'll put my iPad in it, not put stuff in an iPad case.
The clips on this guy work perfect with my Apple case lid folded under as per usual for use, no problem. Easy on, easy off. Actually, they are not "clips" as you might imagine. They are just well engineered things that hold on by way of elastic between the two on either side of your iPad, uninvolved with how the whole thing attaches to you. Brilliant! I have tried others and really, they are like wrestling a mongoose to get them attached to the iPad, let alone your leg.You work up a sweat for Pete's sake. Foolishness. This one is the one for me. Easy on, and I can see that with the design it would probably accommodate something thicker and that's fine. It works great for me with the rather slim Apple hard rubber case that I have.
If you want a brief case, get a brief case, flight bag, whatever. Do you really want all that hoorah on your leg in flight? Just asking.
I think I've seen users mention issues with the security of the strap that holds it all onto your leg. I think I see what they are talking about. On one "end" of the strap is a continuous velcro strip, on the other hand, on the other "end" the mating velcro is in little 1/4 inch strips. No idea why they make it that way. Take a look builders?
Give it a try. Mainly if you are tired of trying iPad "thigh holders" that put you into a sweat by the time it is installed on the iPad, or alternatively, if you've tried units that make you nervous about the iPad ending up in the rudder pedals. You will almost certainly like this guy. If you're like me and wondered why something that seems so simple has been hard to make or find, well, in my opinion this is it.
I'm happy with it.

Best to date by A Customer from Aurora CO USA
Review: Have tried more than one. This works the best. When will there be one for the IPAD mini? The IPAD mini is much better suited for Helo pilots (I think) but now we will need a MyClip for a "mini"

Not tight enough in portrait mode by QuiksilverHg from Kingsville TX USA
Pros: Holds ipad great in sideways mode Cons: portrait mode the strap lets the ipad wiggle a little too much Review: In my jet there isn't enough space to turn the ipad sideways so mine is always strapped down in portrait mode. The strap holds it there well enough for cross country flights, but I can't use it for any of my high-g flights.
For pilots who think they would frequently use this product to hold the ipad in landscape orientation it would be perfect, for those who use it only in portrait mode, it could definitely hold it in a little tighter.

I like it with a few caveats by Andy from APO AE USA
Pros: Compact, easy to change between landscape and portrait. Don't need to take cover off. Cons: Leg strap does not have elastic, no way to tilt ipad! Expensive. Review: Very practical. The best feature is it is so compact for packing in your flying bag. Good design overall. If your leg tilts down though, so does the iPad. In landscape mode, I was actually able to tilt it a bit using my iPad cover. I think it is possible to design it with a small prop that would hold it up at a small angle (all that's needed). Since the strap doesn't have any elastic, it doesn't hold well on my hard-as-steel (read chicken) legs. I think it's expensive for what you get - the cost certainly isn't for materials!

Very Disappointed! by Kazoo Da Cirrus Guy.... from North Pole
Pros: Great Idea.... Cons: Failure in adjustable fit for larger legs.... Review: This product is a great concept; however it's made for skinny persons leg...
Sorry folks not all pilots are one size fits all...
Needs modification for sure!

Great if you have a case on your tablet by Michael from Hillsboro OR USA
Pros: Well made, easy to use Cons: Doesn't work well with narrow tablets. Review: I think this is a great item, well constructed, and very easy to use. My difficulty was that it really didn't hold my tablet if the case was off. I could find another that would work better, but just be aware that if your tablet is "bare" it won't hold it in portrait mode.
