iPad wall mounts are silent heroes of the 21st-century workspace, offering both a practical and visually pleasing solution. Wall mounts are perfect whether you want to turn your iPad into an information kiosk, a minimalist check-in system, or a mobile point of sale (mPOS). These mounts provide not only protection for your device but also increase its functionality, through a range of designs and features. We will look into everything to know about iPad wall mounts and how to appreciate them.
What is an iPad Wall Mount?
An iPad wall mount is what it sounds like, it lets you securely mount your tablet to any wall be it at your house, businesses, schools, restaurants, or even in government agencies. They are fantastic for tablets. The simple interface turns your iPad right into a slick user interface that may be a great interface for customer service, workplace management, or for advertising and marketing.
Mounting the iPad on the wall instead of a desk or pole gives you better practicality, saves your cables from being in the way, and gives you more space and a neater look.
Types of Mounts
How and where you will be using the iPad is the determining factor in how you mount it. If the device is an information board or a quick-access visitor kiosk, mounting the unit directly onto the wall would be ideal for you. A wall-mounted stand is more flexible however if there will be more than one person using the iPad (like in a high-volume mPOS setting).

You will also need to think about screen orientation: Will the iPad have to rotate from portrait into landscape or will it stay put? For staff that uses the device a lot, a tilting stand may be needed to make it easy for the staff.
How Security Matters
iPad protection is a must in public environments. Lockable enclosures are some mounts that come with extra security, protection from accidental damage, and to block out noise. And since they are enclosed, they are more durable and theft-proof, making them good for high-traffic areas such as retail stores and office receptions.
Recommended Mounting Height
It all depends on where and how high you want to mount your iPad and the purpose.
- For standing users, like restaurant servers or guests checking in, the recommended height ranges between 130-150 cm (51.2-59 inches).
- If the iPad is installed on a pole or stand, you can mount it slightly lower, around 110-150 cm (43.3-59 inches).
- For seated use—such as in educational settings or libraries—the iPad’s height should align with the height of the desk or bench.
The Different Types of iPad Wall Mounts
Flush Mounts
The Flush Mount option allows the iPad to lay flat, seamlessly attached to the wall and give it a low profile look. However, flush mounts do not provide tilting or rotating, and are best in places where the screen position does not change. Some popular options include:
- Hub iPad Wall Mount
- Elite Lockable Case with VESA Flush Wall Mount
Pole Mounts
Pole mounts add flexibility to the iPad because you can tilt or swivel the iPad depending on what you like. This is especially useful for shared devices where things move quickly. Pole mounts come in two forms:
Fixed Mounts
Fixed pole mounts position the iPad at a 45-degree angle. Some, however, allow it to swivel from portrait to landscape modes.
- Evo Pole: Fixed at a 45-degree angle.
- Nexus Fixed Mount: Locks the iPad at a 45-degree angle but allows rotation between modes.
Tilt Stands
Tilt stands make it easy to adjust the iPad’s angle, catering to users of different heights.
- Evo X Pole: Offers 40 degrees of tilt and can rotate between portrait and landscape modes. It includes a lock to secure both tilt and rotation.
Cable Management: A Clean Setup
One of the biggest distractions for busy professional spaces is cable clutter but iPad wall mounts are ready for it. Cable channels have been integrated into many mounts and you can even run power cables through the wall or by an electrical conduit to the power source. That keeps the setup clean and lets it run continuously.
The choice of iPad wall mounts depends heavily on your particular needs, such as security, tilt options or a sleek glossy appearance. When rigged with the right mount, your iPad makes a powerhouse tool that doubles as form and function together in one neat bundle.
