Looking for a new mounting arm now that mine is no longer compatible with the new pros. I used to have the TwelveSouth HoverBar for my iPad Air and then got the one linked below for my gen 2 pro. Looking for one that fits around seamlessly and is low key. A lot of them look very bulky and/or cover the pencil slot on the new pros. Any suggestions for a gen3 12.9” iPad Pro?

I use this but a bit more expensive, about $75. Used it with my 12.9 iPad but with the newer iPad with pencil, it does cover up the magnet/charger. Perhaps they will come out with something better.

[doublepost=1543410160][/doublepost]I’ve resorted to scooting over the iPad to the edge where I can put my pencil on top to charge it. Irritating but doable.

With a dog, I wouldn't trust it... Especially having to scoot it. That was the nice part about the ones i previously owned. They clipped on the corners and were not bulky at all. You basically couldn't tell they were there. Plus it clamped onto my bed side or desk so the dog can't knock it over...

Can you give me a link to that stand? I have been looking for one like that.
 
You’re welcome. Had it now for over a year for my iPhone and my iPad second-generation, now with my third generation iPad Pro 11. Wish that it would be easy to mate and charge my Apple Pencil, but I still can charge it with a little work around.
 
I thought maybe waiting some time some mounting arms would surface. Doesn't look that way :( Just wish TwelveSouth would release an update to HoverBar to work with the new pros... Despite the high price, it worked perfectly for me.
