Let me start by saying this mount is a BEAST once installed. The initial stiffness had me worried, but after securing it to my wall, the articulation became butter-smooth. I use it daily for my Samsung Galaxy Tab in my café, and the 360° rotation is a game-changer for showing menus or promotions.
The anti-theft feature works as advertised - that satisfying 'click' when locking my iPad Air gives me peace of mind during busy hours. Though fair warning: those silicone strips require some trial-and-error to position correctly (I almost gave up before finding the sweet spot for my tablet with its case).
Here's where it gets tricky: The corners DO interfere with ports on larger tablets like my 12.9" iPad Pro. I have to slightly adjust the clamp whenever charging - not ideal during rush times. And yes, you MUST train staff to only move it by the locking bars (learned this the hard way after nearly snapping off a corner).
For smaller tablets (7-10"), it's nearly perfect - rock solid with zero wobble. But that looseness some reviews mention? I experienced it too with heavier devices until I discovered you need to REALLY crank down the tension screw (included hex key helps). Now even my chunkiest tablet stays put.
The lack of included cable management is annoying (why no velcro strap, Barkan?), but overall this delivers where it counts: security and flexibility. Just know your tablet's dimensions before buying - those rubber guards aren't one-size-fits-all.
