5 - fits most tablets + heavy-duty case (not included)

This clip is simple and effective at holding a standard iPad with rugged case in place during flight in either portrait or landscape fashion. Points that could be improved, expand the hook and loop area by 2 inches to allow for more movement of the bolsters. Also the bolsters could be a bit thicker to allow greater tilt towards the user. But all in all for the price there is not much better out there.

Bought this for my pilot boyfriend. He's been a pilot for 40 years. He desperately needed a new setup and something really streamlined and low profile. Right now he has a Cesna 150 so not a lot of room. He really likes this. Uses it with his iPad mini which is in a case. It's nice he doesn't have to take it out of the case to put it in the app strap. The iPad mini he has is too small anyway without the case to fit the app strap. He doesn't use the other little pads that came with it to tilt it. He tried them and one came off and ended up on the floor. He doesn't want to take the chance of this happening and interfering with the rudder peddles and it's fine for him without them anyway.

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…

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.

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.
