TABcare CC Reader Bracket for Microsoft Surface Metal Enclosure

In this review of the TABcare CC Reader Bracket for Microsoft Surface metal enclosure, the reviewer finds it a focused accessory for businesses that need a tidy, secure mount for a Magtek Dynamag USB swipe card reader. The single biggest reason to buy is its deliberate fit and routing options: it accepts the Dynamag while allowing the micro USB cable to exit from the side or bottom, keeping a Surface setup compact and professional. This review considers fit, build dimensions, and real-world convenience for checkout counters and kiosks.

Key Features

• Magtek compatibility: Designed specifically to accommodate the Magtek Dynamag USB swipe card reader so the reader stays securely held during frequent use.
• Flexible cable routing: The bracket lets the micro USB port connect from either the side or the bottom, offering neat cable management for varied mount orientations.
• Compact footprint: At 104mm x 40mm x 20mm the bracket provides a small, unobtrusive profile that works well with customer-facing tablet setups.
• Case fit: It is built to fit all TABcare 10' and 12' metal cases so it integrates directly into those enclosures without ad hoc adapters.
• Durable finish: The black metal bracket presents a professional appearance that resists visible wear in a point-of-sale environment.

Who It's For

The TABcare reader bracket is best for retailers, hospitality operators, and mobile point-of-sale teams who use a Microsoft Surface inside a TABcare metal case and want a secure, tidy mounting point for a Magtek Dynamag reader. It suits configurations where cable routing choices matter and a compact, low-profile accessory is preferred.

It is not for users who do not own a Magtek Dynamag or a TABcare 10' or 12' metal case, since those items are not included. Buyers seeking a universal reader mount or an all-in-one reader and case solution should look elsewhere.

Cons

Our Verdict

The TABcare CC Reader Bracket is a narrowly focused, practical accessory that delivers tidy mounting and flexible cable routing for shops using a Magtek Dynamag with a Surface in a TABcare metal case. For merchants who already own the matching case and reader it represents good value because it simplifies hardware layout and preserves a professional counter appearance; it is not a substitute for the reader or case themselves.
