F0ZZ Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Not sure if this is the correct section, but I think it is. I was in the market for an iPad mini wall mount.I have several old models around the house and wanted make use of them. All the mounts I found that looked the way I wanted cost more than the iPads are worth so I made rather myself. I got a little carried away and made a few more than I actually need. Just curious if anyone is interested in them. I made a video on YouTube about making them, but I’m not sure if I can post links? iPad Mini 1-3 bare mount $30 painted with magnets, $45 Reed, c44me, rayk32 and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocky350z Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Very Nice, The magnets hold the mini in place? is there an area to plug the charge in to keep it charged? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F0ZZ Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share Posted February 3, 2021 Yes I have the option of using a charge cable. I routed a space to allow for a cable to fit. Magnets are used to hold it in place. I found much nicer looking ones after I finished the video. I’ll use them in the future. Reed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanDad Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Looks great. Could you post a link to the video ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F0ZZ Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 Here is the link. Let me know if you have questions. I’ve changed the magnet system to look better and switched to spray on suede (flocking). Looks better now. istreich, rayk32, cjh and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F0ZZ Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 Thank you. It’s been a good way to use older iPads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphod Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Very impressive! Have you done some for full size iPads as well? Are you able to turn the charging power source off and on? I believe that you run the risk of battery bulge if you are always charging a device like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F0ZZ Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 one of Our iPad mini’s has been plugged in for several years now. No issues so far. It’s just now mounted more neatly to the wall now. I have heard about the possibility of the battery bulging, but haven’t had any issues myself. My brother in-law has 3 that have been plugged in longer than mine have been. Not saying it can’t happen, but the chances are slim from the reading I’ve done. I haven’t made any for larger iPads, but the process is the same. Reed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
