Why do pilots need an iPad?
Pilots use the iPads as a replacement for their traditional flight bag, which contains information such as navigational tools, weather reports. Owning an iPad is just the start, if you want it to be a true flight tool, it needs protection and easy access in the cockpit. That’s where the Pivot Case and its mounting options come in.

If you’re a student or a teacher interested in coding education, here are some reasons why the iPad is an excellent choice: Portability and Convenience: The iPad’s compact size and lightweight design make it easy to carry to class, the library, or any other coding hotspot. No more lugging around heavy laptops!
