So I'm basically looking for an arm that I can use with my iPad with a case on that I can attach to my bed to use to watch Netflix/HuluPlus, etc. I've found a few on Amazon, but they all seem to have too short of an arm. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Use your own arm.

How long do you actually need? My new iPad holder can be extended from wall more than 1 meter and the height of iPad is also adjustable. :)Airholder (http://www.airholder.com/airholder)

You should also look at the SpiderArm at http://www.spiderarm.com/. Great price and has various positions and uses.

That looks kinda funny to me!

But I'm not one to judge!

Hope you find what you need!

The problem with most of these "arm" designs is that they do not take into consideration that most people have their iPad in a case and do not wish to remove the unit from the case each and every time they want to use these arms.

I found and ordered one from Amazon that seemingly will allow you to keep the case on....it should be delivered by Thursday...I will let you guys know how well it works.

I have that. The arm is super short so it really doesn't work that well. It also doesnt really hold the iPad snugly...if you bump it, the iPad can slip right out. Be careful!

Thanks for the heads up....but I do plan on using it with a folio style case on so I'm anticipating it working....(fingers crossed!) :)

wow this looks like a great option. I wonder how it attaches to the wall?!?. I can't find this info on their website. Kind of pricey but looks like it's worth it.

Also looking for something like the airholder that will allow me to use my current case with it. Everything else just seems too short. Also really like that it has a charging extender, just wish they had a universal bracket. Any one know of a happy medium?

That air holder looks great. My wife and I normally watch something on Netflix a few nights a week, and not to long ago, I dropped the iPad onto her face, and it drew blood. So now I'm looking for something like this too.

That said, I have an iPad holder for her in the Kitchen, and I just took a Ram mount, and hooked it to the bottom of the cabinet. The Ram mount holder works GREAT with all kinds of cases. My wife has a gumdrop case, and it is rather large, and it holds it perfectly. So what I want to find is just an arm I can mount one of these tablet holders too. I'm sure I can find just an arm, that I can mount a ball joint too...

Link to Ram mount.

Check out the SnakeClamp review (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1351477) I posted in this forum, it might fit the bill.

This is hilarious. I have never seen someone go to such great lengths to use the iPad on the toilet LOL

For those using spiderarm, could anyone tell how big is the ball joint of their ipad case in terms of its diameter size ? I am looking to use RAM mount tablet holder instead of stock ipad case. I contacted spiderarm but no response yet.

Biff...

This is actually a good idea. Do you leave the iPad attach or remove every time you handle your business?

Y'see, cause my iPad is fitted with a case that connects it to the AirHolder... and I have more than one AirHolder in my household at different parts, so my iPad follows me wherever I go and connection is easy and efficient anytime.:D

Check out the Standzfree. www.standzout.com I love mine. For reading in bed just slide the base in between the mattress and box springs. Works great!

If I've got a thin case on my ipad 3 will the standzfree be able to work with it?

Looks like a nice stand, But looks like you have to rock the ipad naked :(
I want to be able to use the ipad smart case from apple with a stand like this but to be able to clamp it to a table.

Pretty good device from the looks of it. But only works with a naked iPad I'm assuming? Can you confirm?

Tifanick that posted the pictures of the airholder in the toilet I believe she the airholder admin in Facebook. Trying to compaign for her product here. I bought the airholder from them and the case was very tight that didn't fit with my shield in the back. After removing the shield protector it barely fit causing the aircase to buckle and made a huge gap in both sides. I contacted them and they are trying to convince me that the case fit both iPad 2 and 3. They have pretty much the iPad 2 cases still in the stock selling them as they fit both iPads. The shipping is $38 when i asked them to send me another case they refused and want me to send the whole thing back on my own shipping cost for a refund not included the 38 that I paid. so basically I will be waisting $76 just to send it back. I will post pictures and YouTube video later so you guys see what I'm talking about.

I think this product is pretty cool and inexpensive. You can use it on desk, like what you said, watch netflix, and also can use it in bed. I had one and it works great

So I'm basically looking for an arm that I can use with my iPad with a case on that I can attach to my bed to use to watch Netflix/HuluPlus, etc. I've found a few on Amazon, but they all seem to have too short of an arm. Any suggestions? Thanks!
