I have a MagFlott stand and it’s great. I found out it’s magnets easily hold my iPad Pro firmly with its ESR Magnetic Case still on which is super convenient. I also discovered that not completing the order and leaving it in the website basket overnight prompted them to email me a 20% discount code which made its price much more palatable.

I purchased the MagFit magnetic doc - many other reviewers did not attest to the weak magnets. I can confirm that the magnets are fine: the iPad pro jus needs to be aligned with the stand properly which you did not do in this video. The bottom of the ipad is flush with the stand. It‘s a nice piece, but the hinges are a bit too stiff and can‘t be adjusted.

Thanks for the review. I did pick up on tidbits that proved useful and necessary. the existence of the curved USB c power cable that MagFlott includes. I already had a satisfactory magnetic stand for my iPad Pro 11". But with a standard power cord. That started me on a quest - I found one on Amazon, but more so, I had the same issue of the cable sticking out on my old iPad 10.2 that I use in my office. That needed a lightning connector - indeed I found on also on Amazon. Love the concept of these on iPads mounted on stands - helps with cable management. They can also be used with iPhones. Thanks for the tipoff that these existed. If I did not have a good magnetic stand already, I know what I would invest in. Thanks again.
