The compact Compass Pro stand from Twelve South can go anywhere you take your iPad.

Once you’re done, fold up Compass, insert it into the including travel sleeve, toss it in your bag and go.

Nice but slightly underwhelming I purchased the rose gold version, since it was almost half the price at the time.

Looks Great, funtionality not so great. If you want stability get the Amazon basics stand for $8.99 I actually bought this because one reviewer said he tested it on his iPad 12.9. Ignore him, unless you want your big beautiful $1,100 iPad to tip over. I wanted a skinny iPad stand to put in an iPad case with my 12.9 iPad that was not as fat as my Amazon basics stand which was $8.99. Amazonâs is ugly but very stable, but wont fit in the case.Conclusion; even though this wobbly piece of junk didnt work for my iPad Pro 12.9 I kept it because my iPad Air 2 looks very cool on it because…
