Koala Mount

Excellent product, very strong and does what it says it will. All you get are the brackets, the all important 3M glue, a single small "KFC sanitiser style" alcohol wipe and a multi-lingual illustrated instruction manual (there's not much to read), but that's all you need. I was fortunate that everything clicked into place; mounting it on a kitchen cupboard door which opens to a wall perpendicular to it, the clearance afforded by the door handle was just enough. Similarly, I was fortunate in that the colour (white) melded well with the cupboard door colour and so it's hardly noticeable when empty. Even in use, my iPad with its white bezel, makes the product just disappear. As instructed I left bags weighing 2kg hanging separately on each mount for three days for "peace of mind" and feel confident that if it can take that then it will have no problems sharing the load of a 662g iPad. This mount is the quickest way to turn your kitchen into something from the future: I can use my iPad for recipes (mounted on the door I need not worry about liquid or powder spillages, nor sharp objects), voice control to convert measurements, video conferencing, listening to music or podcasts and interactively use the iPad in tandem with newer iOS connected kitchen appliances such as the PrepPad Scales and ChefSteps Sous-Vide pump - so much can be done with a portable computing device in the kitchen these days (my scales and sous-vide pump won't even function independently without it!), so I need some way of keeping it close, safe and my hands free. Next year (2017) I read that Apple may be releasing their latest 10th anniversary (which in the tech world is ~100yrs) iPhone with wireless charging that actually works like you'd think it would - well, this wall mount just got better! UPDATE: 8th March, 2018: It was time to leave my flat and I had to take the system down, I wasn't looking forward to it, these things usually do not make it easy, often not even worth while. However, the adhesive used made it a breeze to peel away, at the appropriate angle. Not only this, but the tough part of removing the adhesive from the device was a simple stripping process - all in one go (watch video). I was really impressed that this was considered, it had been mounted for over a year, with plenty of use, yet this takedown was as friendly as one could have hoped for. This is still a five star product. Incidentally, Apple didn't release wireless charging, only inductive, shame. Perhaps in another year...

I left a negative review about this product, because there was what I considered to be a design flaw. It turns out there was just a packaging mistake, or fulfilment error. . Not only did the seller refund me, they also sent replacement(s) presumably “for my trouble”. The replacement works excellently and is exactly what I was looking for. This kind of active customer support is increasingly rare, and I would have been happy enough just to know it wasn’t quite the right product and to do an exchange (though I greatly appreciate the precluding of wasted shipping fuels and boxes to return plastic items). I’m extremely impressed (not because oooo free) and I have to commend them on their support of the product and will look for others made by them as a result of this interaction. As for the mount, it’s a very simple idea that works well for me, holding an iPad for nighttime viewing and the office desk. It’s affordable and I would recommend it - just make sure you’re getting the screw if adhesive mount - rubber feet only go with the screw mount.

This product is ultimately two pieces of plastic, but they serve the purpose. A prominent feature is the included third party 'Command Strips' by 3M. There are various commands strips (Including velcro types) but the pair included in this package are the double sided adhesive ones. Peeling off the backing of the strips I was surprised to find that one side wasn't sticky. Nonetheless, when applied to the wall, it's hold like glue. My ipad mini is therefore safe (touch wood). On that note; the plastics mounts are unsuitable for iPad Minis and smaller tablets. A modification is necessary - a cut of one of the 'ribs' with a hacksaw so that the power cable can be plugged in. Without this, the lightning port on iPad Mini is obstructed (see pics). This issue could have easily been avoided. This product I feel is overpriced, but the idea of marrying these holders with the Command Strips is an awesome idea and a welcomed one. Recommended.

Was looking for a wall punting solution for an iPad Air 2 and took a chance on this. Fulfilment was with Amazon so no delivery issues. The packaging for the product is minimal and comprises of a simple card box. Inside you receive the mounting brackets and the mounting strips. The brackets are made of plastic and are of a good quality. The instructions are easy to follow and you simple attached mounting strip to mount and then attach to wall. As you only receive two strips a bit of thought this needed if you are looking for a level installation. I suggest a book or similar to level things off. Mounts have been up for two weeks and no problems. Young child has been removing iPad so it can withstand a bit of tugging. The mounts happily mount an iPad Air with a smart case.

I think it's fair to comment that anyone looking at this product's image would assume there's more to the mount than two small plastic clips, with no backing support (as apparently illustrated behind the iPad/tablet). When it arrived in its cigarette-packet sized box, I assumed the actual mount was missing, but I was wrong - that's all it is - 2 plastic clips. Fair enough - economic design. At least two design improvements could be made: 1) The lightning charger cable can't be attached - the mount doesn't allow it - essential for use on an aircraft panel (or car?) where I intended to use it. Surely a designer would have tested in situ? Would it be fair to say that the illustrations on your own website show the plastic clips don't interfere with the lightning charger connection? That's not the case with the product which I received. 2) Pre-drilled screw/bolt holes would make the mounting 100% secure. I'm not sure I want a £475 iPad Mini supported by adhesive strips, particularly in the vibrating environment of a light aircraft. Screw/bolt holes would also allow alternative width mounting holes, for users needing to mount both an iPad and/or tablet. This isn't possible with adhesive strips. OK - not everyone wants to install in the vibrating environment of an aircraft, but I think the above points are worth considering by any potential purchaser.

I'll start off by saying that approx £10 does seem like a lot of money when all you get in return is a small box, with two bits of plastic and a couple of sticky strips in it. With that out of the way, what you're really paying for here is a secure, quick, simple way of wall mounting pretty much any tablet, without drilling into your walls which can be removed without damage when you need to remove it. With that in mind I think the asking price isn't too bad. I still think it could be a bit cheaper, but the benefits make up for that. The two bit of plastic are held to the wall using sticky strips from 3M. I was dubious at first that what appeared to be a couple of bits of double sided tape would hold my tablet securely to the wall. It's been up there a few months now and hasn't shifted a bit. One of the great things about this, is that since the two supports are completely separate, they can accommodate pretty much any size of tablet. That said, I did have to get busy with a craft knife and do some trimming. But only because the old Hannspree Hannspad I was wall mounting is a bit bulky. It also has the power connector quite high on the side so I had to make a new hole to connect the power. But neither of those problems are down to the product itself. So I'll give it a solid 5 stars.

This is an excellent product. It's minimal, and it just works. The Command strips the product uses stick really well and feel very secure. Getting my iPad in and out of it is easy, and it looks incredibly cool! I've had it a few weeks now and it has stayed stuck even when the room it's in has reached temperatures of over 88 degrees. One tip: When you are mounting it to the wall, get it level before you expose the sticky bits, and mark with pencil lines where it's going to go. Once you expose the sticky, it will stick immediately and irremovably. (Until you want to remove it, that is!!) They do mention this on the instructions though, about getting it level. I just want to emphasise how quickly it sticks. I mentioned this to the makers just as feedback, and they have been really great in their responses. They seem to actually care about their customers! Would definitely buy again.

I'm really impressed with this mount - like most good products, it's so ingenious it's difficult to think why no-one else has done it before! I've been looking for a solution to getting a removable iPad mount in the kitchen. I thought it'd be easy, but I've looked at them all - Fridge mount - Worried about how secure a magnet was, and my fridge has a curved surface, so didn't want to take the risk Small TV mount - seemed too permanent Screw mount to wall - unable to move from its position in the kitchen. I found these and thought I'd give them a try, and they are brilliant. All it is, is two small separate brackets, which the bottom of your iPad slides into. You space these out so that they're enough apart to either slide it in in landscape or in portrait, and stick it to the wall with the very strong adhesive strips. I simply slid the iPad in, whilst they weren't on the wall, then took the backs off, then stuck them to the wall whilst attached to the iPad. The pads are the 3M strong ones, and they are plenty strong enough (trust me, I checked!), however you can screw them to the wall if you wish, but the screws are not provided. I notice the sticky pads also have a little tab at the top, so you can peel them off. A great point I noticed was that even with my none Apple case (which is one that opens like a book, which you can turn into a bit of a stand), it fits, and I'm pretty sure it'd still fit with the likes of a gorilla case. I've put mine on a kitchen cabinet door, and with the iPad on, it looks great, and is at a perfect height. I only have two issues with the thing, which is why I've scored it 4, not 5. The brackets are white plastic, and is a bit ugly on a wooden cabinet door without the iPad attached (my opinion, but maybe they could do different colours?) It's £15 for, essentially, 2 small bits of plastic. That isn't a bad price for the solution, compared to other solutions, but is a bit much for what they are. Overall though, I'm extremely happy!
