SwitchEasy iPad Pro magnetic stand is the perfect companion whether you are working in your office, living room, kitchen, or library. Wherever you are, its elevated design helps you prevent sore neck.

Aluminum alloy material gives it sturdiness so that it can grip iPad 11″ (1-3 Gen) to Apple iPad Air 10.9″ & iPad Pro 12.9″ (3-5 Gen). If this stand is part of your iPad accessory, you do not need to adjust it for a convenient view; instead, you can tilt the screen to 180 degrees and rotate it to 360 degrees for the best viewing angles.

The only flaw observed in this stand is that its magnetic grips become loose if you use it with a thick iPad case. All in all, if you are in search of a magnetic stand that looks stylish, classy, and even matches your iPad, then go for it.

Meaowxva Floating Magnetic iPad Stand is one of my favorites on the list due to several reasons: it’s great for your desk, where you can play a video on your iPad while working on other devices, or just put to-do list, calendar, Spotify, etc.

But these aren’t the reasons why I liked it, you can do the same with PITAKA and SwitchEasy stand, but this stand has a unique feature that you can adjust it in a way so you can take notes and draw on your iPad comfortably when I used PITAKA stand, I always detached it from my stand to take notes, with this stand I can do both.
