I wouldn't go that far. I think EFB tablets are a pretty good deal. Some of the accessories though...Aviation + Apple = Expensive squared
But this is a STRAP.
All tablets are basically 7 inches or 10 inches, and there is some slop in the strap. So, for a full sized iPad, pick up a 10 inch tablet strap and call it good.
Cases may be different due to camera placement and the various buttons. But this is a strap!
I had been using a leg mount/strap setup but I did a long XC with my wife (almost 300nm each way) last weekend and finally used the suction cup mount to the front passenger glass for the first time. Man, I really liked that.
We have a Stratus so it's nice to just keep the iPad on all the time which I really had never done before - and even with it on for the duration I still had half the battery left by the time we arrived. With the Stratus you'll see the green dots flicker meaning the METAR's were updated via ADS-B...nice to be able to keep your eyes up and out while just using one hand to click an airport and get info, etc... It was also nice to have the moving map up there so I could use it to keep my wife kinda occupied...I'd point to something on the map and ask her to find it outside or vice-versa. She also liked seeing the ETA, etc... on ForeFlight.
I'd highly recommend going that route if you haven't tried it - definitely something I'll be doing more of in the future.
