In any sense, ipad holder is not likely to let go. In horizontal or vertical position, it maintains the iPad perfectly. For this reason I have not bought adjustable bracket fitting on all tablets. It is better to dedicated support and this is really solid at both fixtures as metal screws to support that is not likely to rip on its axis. The hose is very hard and provides good support of the position, even if it's at the expense of some acrobatics that we would do with ... Can not have everything. I personally prefer the stability and security of my material. Really, I do not regret this purchase.
