IPAD 2 BUYERS’ GUIDE
$90
GripDaddy Arm Mount
+ Headrest Mount
GripDaddy has come up with
two practical ways to turn bare
or encased iPads into back
seat entertainment devices:
one goes behind a headrest,
the other in the middle of the
car. Both mounts are made
from sturdy metal and thick
plastic, using independently
tightened hooks to secure to a
headrest, plus a spring-loaded
arm to hold the iPad upright
in an open frame. The Arm
Mount places that frame on an
adjustable arm that stretches
to the center of a car, letting
back seaters watch together;
you’ll need to tighten the
screws to keep it all taut.

Arkon Headrest Mount
ACCESSORY GUIDE
Designed solely for the
first iPad, Arkon’s Headrest
Mount includes two pieces:
a protective faux carbon
fiber leather shell that stays
on your iPad, linking into
a hard, substantial plastic
mount. You need to pull off the car’s headrest, pop the metal
bars through the mount’s holes, and replace the headrest
for installation. It works well enough that we’d love to see a
sequel with a more protective iPad 2 case: a mount
with a detachable case is a very smart idea.
Griffin Cinema Seat
Now available in versions for
the original iPad and iPad 2,
Cinema Seat works as either
a padded leatherette and
neoprene case or as a fulltime
in-car mount. You attach
it to a headrest with Velcro
straps, and use a slit on the back to insert your iPad.
Both versions match light gray car interiors.
Luxa2 H7 Dura-Mount
H7 is the rare iPad mount
designed to work in the front
seats of a car, combining
Luxa2’s classic and casefriendly
spider mount with a
windshield suction cup and
flexible bar. It’s surprisingly sturdy and adjustable,
but check its local legality before considering one.

Toucoul Coulvue
Using a bone-shaped plastic frame that separates into two
pieces to clamp a headrest’s metal bars, Coulvue has a highly
adjustable set of joints that allow you to reposition the angle
of an iPad or iPad 2 held within an X-shaped plastic
mount. Notably, separate versions are sold for the
iPads, and neither is case- or body film-friendly.
