PIVOT A20A Atlas Series

Snug fit and maximum protection. Works a charm in the airplane and also moving around in my bag. Perfect product for crew.

I use this weekly in light twins and single engine trainers. It’s the best solution I’ve found yet to protect my iPad and make it useable in flight. I’ve used softer knee boards which then I broke my iPad with, this is sturdy and protects it in case I drop it. I pair it with the pivot knee board leg strap in flight and it works great!

Great case for aviation. Pencil pocket too tight and exposed to scratches (pocket needs to be deeper). Pivot accessories are tremendously expensive. Aside from the case, they should make mounts that are at least affordable.

I picked up the PIVOT A20A for my iPad Air to use in the cockpit (I fly GA, mostly Cessna 172s/ Pipers), and it is effectively the only serious option if you want to mount your EFB securely. ​Here is the breakdown after about 50 flight hours with it: ​The Good: ​The "Click": The PIVOT mounting system is the main selling point. You slide the case onto the mount (suction cup or yoke), and you hear a distinct click. It is locked in. Turbulence won't budge it. ​Military-Grade Feel: This thing is a tank. It has a hard polycarbonate shell with rubberized corners. I’ve dropped my flight bag with the iPad inside, and not a scratch. ​Pencil Charging Actually Works: A lot of rugged cases are too thick for the Apple Pencil 2 to magnetically charge. This case has a specific cutout ("Pencil Edge") that allows it to snap on and charge perfectly, plus a grip on the back to hold it so it doesn't fly under the seat during landing. ​Cooling: It has vents on the back so the iPad doesn't overheat in direct sunlight—critical if you are flying in Florida or Arizona. Things to Know: ​Keyboard Incompatibility: Because this is a heavy-duty protective case, you cannot use the Apple Magic Keyboard or Smart Folio with the iPad while it is in this case. You have to take the case off to use those, and... ​Removal is Tough: This case fits tight. Taking the iPad out requires some serious finger strength. If you plan on swapping cases daily, you will get annoyed fast. Pro Tip: If you fly different aircraft, buy the PIVOT Suction Cup Mount along with this case. It lets you take your setup from a rental 172 to a friend's plane in seconds. Also, don't force the kickstand; it has a specific locking mechanism—read the manual so you don't snap it! ​Bottom Line: If you are just sitting on the couch watching Netflix, this is overkill. But if you are a student pilot or flying commercially, this is the best insurance policy for your EFB. It’s expensive, but cheaper than replacing an iPad that fell off a cheap yoke mount.

Bent my 1400$ iPad removing this case! (followed the instructions). On the title there's no iPad 11 pro gen4 compatibility but on Amazon product description and pivot website they have this model compatible with iPad pro gen 4 and that's why I bought it and my iPad got stuck in it. I guess there's no case can fit all 4gen iPad in one design. that's why other companies spend money to do a redesign!! But this company just want to keep the profit up I guess!! plastic quality is pretty bad!! comparable to a regular 15$ case! pretty chunky!! they don't have much competitor, so I guess they just talking advantage of that!

Sturdiest, most protective iPad Cover on the market. Swivel attachment makes it perfect for using iPad while flying my plane.

I have not had an opportunity to use the Pivot Case in the course of my job; however, it does appear to be better quality than other IPAD Cases I've tried recently. Will update review if I discover something unexpected.

The Pivot A20A serves its target purpose: To keep my iPad safe while I fly. This is relative to my previous iPad case which allowed an iPad to bend enough to break. One improvement I see: Establish a way to hold/attach the cover of the Pivot when it is removed.
