I bought this stand to hold my iPad at fairs and markets so I can easily access the Square Shopping app. This stand is very stable and the base is heavy enough not to tip over. I've read other reviews that the holder has some play, but for me that's not the case. I had to take my iPad out of the case it was in because the case made the iPad too thick and I could snap it into place. All in all, I highly recommend this stand.
