Review on Crystal Pilot Flight Pad 5: 3-in-1 Tablet Kneeboard including Aluminum Clipboard, VFR Placard, and Mini iPad 5 Compatibility by Dean Wildfang

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Velcro in wrong position, may have magnetic smart cover

In general, the goods are not bad. It works fine but the velcro on the back of the knee pad isn't really useful to me or for any other reason I can understand. In fact, if you wear pants or any material other than jeans, it will ruin the leg. It must either be removed or replaced with a fuzzy loop in place of the velcro. That way I could at least put a patch on it. The case covering the iPad is good but needs some work. It would be nice if it was magnetic and had a smart cover to turn off the iPad when closed. These are my biggest complaints about this knee brace. some functions are missing. Another thing that would be nice is an Apple Pencil slot. More of a wish list item, but on the fly I found it better to have a good Apple pencil holder that works vertically with the iPad for easy use and not constantly slipping through the other two pencil holders that come with it. Otherwise, overall this is a unique knee brace and a good option if you are looking for a new knee brace. I just want it to get better. I ended up buying two for my two iPads, but I'm hoping they'll repeat some of the features and make it more practical.

Pros
  • Detachable mini iPad holder, compatible with iPad 5. With camera opening so you don't have to remove your iPad to take photos.
Cons
  • There are doubts
