The Cygnett iPad Magnet stand (10.9/11 and 12.9” models) solves the annoying issue of using an iPad as a desktop tablet.

Before you get excited, it is not a Magic Keyboard or MagSafe charging stand – it is a simple, sturdy aluminium stand that attaches magnetically to the iPad (different sizes for each model) with height, tilt and pivot adjustable platen. It gets it off your desk.

The stand is sufficiently stable enough to use touch but can wobble a little. We found that a 500g flat weight on the base made it even more usable.

We use Fail (below expectations), Pass (meets expectations) and Exceed (surpasses expectations or is the class leader) against many of the items below. We occasionally give a Pass ‘+’ rating to show it is good but does not quite make it to Exceed. You can click on most images for an enlargement.

First Impression – Pass+

It is Apple Space Grey and made from anodised aluminium. The magnet platen is rubberised to protect the iPad from scratches. The stand has four rubber feet. It is well made and should last a long time.

The hinge tilts, swivels and is two-stage height adjustable.
