no, it stays strong and does not slide down (at least Samsung Tab 3 10"). I don’t need to align them very well, and this happens naturally (however it does not auto position itself). I think it is very good product for such a price if you don’t want to bulk your walls with “cradles”.
I managed to put together slim connector with normal usb charger which is powerfull enough for iPad.
As you know, those connectors are used for wireless charging which unfortunately is not suitable for constant power on usage as they do supply only around 1000mA top.
So I’ve used that connector, which is the only one I was able to find which is tiny so it’s not even visible and extended three wires (+5v, gnd, id+) to female lightning connector. And then connected regular cable to regular charger.
Hardest part is basically figure out which pins you need to remove from female connector to be able to solder your three wires so iPad is not complaining and charging properly. Because everything is so freaking tiny…
Inspired by some posts I mounted my Samsung Tablet using glued magnets. Since 5 months no issues.
Running “fully kiosk browser” which shows a slideshow while no motion detected and switches to HABPanel if motion detected.

Which magnets did you use? Strong neodym? Self gluing or which glue did you use? Can you use heat glue (is this the right english word for Heisskleber?) for this or will a hot tablet melt the glue?
Is this a self made metal plate on the wall or can you buy this somewhere in an internetshop?
I glued it with either Uhu or Pattex Epoxidharz (twp components / Zweikomponentenkleber in Form EINER Spritze) from the local home depot (Hornbach). Unfortunately a bit of a mess as the magnets began to move (due to the metal inside the tablets) as soon as I released pressure. So I needed to stick my fingers and press 6 glued magnet plates at the same time for a few minutes
it sticks actually that good (using the ebay components mentioned above) that I need to pull very hard to release it. sometimes I think I am going to break the tablet while pulling. but usually there is no need to remove it from the wall. at least for me.
It’s definitely possible to keep a tablet up with no issues using magnets.
I’m using two of the following type which alledgedly can carry 0.9 kg each. I have superglued the thin plates to the tablet and and used a screw the in the center for each wall mounted magnet. I have to slide it off because pulling feels like the screw is gonna come out of the wall, those are strooong.
Edit: Actually they might even be 7kg each, I think I looked at the wrong specification.
