Wall Mounts for iPads: What to Look For Before You Buy

Looking for an iPad wall mount that’s more than just a bracket?

Whether you’re setting up an iPad in your home, office, or commercial environment, finding the right wall mount for iPad use is about more than aesthetics. A well-designed mount can protect your device, keep it powered, and make it easier to use every day.

Here’s what to consider before you install an iPad mount for the wall—and why the right choice matters.

1. Powered vs. Non-Powered iPad Wall Mounts

Some wall mounts simply hold your iPad. Others, like the iPORT Connect Pro, keep it fully charged while in use.

If the iPad is used for smart home control, meeting room scheduling, or as a kiosk, a powered wall mount means no downtime.

2. Rotation and Accessibility

Need to switch between portrait and landscape? Choose a mount that allows smooth, secure rotation—without removing the iPad or using clunky swivels.

This is especially useful in retail, medical, or hospitality environments where screen orientation needs to change quickly.

3. Clean Install with Strong Hold

Look for:

Magnetic mounting systems
Flush wall mounting
Secure charging connections

The iPORT Connect Pro WallStation is a popular pick because it offers all three in a compact, professional-grade design.

4. Surface Mount vs. Wall Mount

If you prefer a sleek, fixed-position setup without magnetic docking, the iPORT Surface Mount is a great alternative. It offers a clean, low-profile look and keeps your iPad securely installed and powered.

It’s ideal for spaces where the iPad stays in one orientation—like at a reception desk, on a wall, or in a control area.
