Review on πŸ“‹ Pilot Kneeboard: Aluminum Clipboard, Ideal for 7.9-inch Apple iPad Mini 3 and 4, and Android Devices of Similar Size by Joel Miranda

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nearly perfect. With a significant design flaw.

I was really excited to put my iPad in this knee brace to try it out. I was ready to customize it with additional velcro straps. Unfortunately due to the way this product was designed I decided to return it after playing with it for about twenty minutes. The good things first: 1. The product is very durable. The stitching is strong, the fabric is dense, the velcro is of high quality. I don't worry about the Velcro being torn off accidentally.2. Left element for straps for checklists etc. can be removed. I had no intention of using it, but someone might like it. It closes with Velcro and two plastic buttons. Cons: 1. As others have said, the "smartphone holder" is too small to fit something modern. It can fit a small flashlight. I thought maybe I'd put my little glasses cleaning cloth in there. 2nd main reason I come back: The upper right sleeve or iPad holder presses the volume up button! If you try to adjust it down, it slides over the display's power button and puts it to sleep. I really wanted to like this product and overall it's not that bad. But that alone is enough to make me look elsewhere. To be honest, simply increasing that angle would probably solve the problem. Overall: a good knee pad that will serve many people well, but I didn't want my buttons to be pressed all the time. If this shortcoming is fixed, I would buy again immediately.
