Hello,
We used ErgoMounts, they have been in place for almost a year (a little wobbly - they may have updated the design since May 2011, we were their trial - ipad2 had just been released).
http://www.ergomounts.co.uk/apple-ipad-2-mounts-and-stands/index.aspx
I wrote a blog about the iPads in the gallery, if anyone is interested:

Good question Andy,
The pre-existing application currently runs on apple and we already have some iPads so it's just the mount that we need to source. Otherwise yes, I think another tablet would have been utilised.
Thanks to Michael and David for their suggestions. I'm happy to collate all suggestions and then send off list to anyone who is interested in iPad mount suppliers.
Best,
Claire

Subject: Re: iPad Mount recommendations
If you want to keep costs down, why are you using iPads, and not some other tablet, running, for example, Android?

Hello there,
I am working on a temporary exhibition as part of UCL's Festival of London and Literature; we would like to incorporate iPads into elements of the exhibition space. I have previously used a bespoke mount maker to create iPad mounts, but in the interest of keeping costs down we are now looking for an off the shelf alternative. It would need to be for an iPad 2/3 so the front facing camera would need to be unobstructed.
Has anyone used off the shelf iPad mounts for any exhibition? Would anyone recommend any specific products?
Many thanks,
Claire
