TABcare Magtek Reader Bracket for iPad Pro Tablet Metal Case - Reader

In this review the TABcare Magtek Reader Bracket is assessed as a simple, purpose-built accessory for businesses that pair a Magtek Dynamag USB swipe reader with a TABcare metal tablet enclosure. The bottom line: it is for operators who need a neat, reliable mounting point that keeps the reader aligned and its micro USB connection accessible from the side or bottom. Our review finds the bracket does exactly that with no unnecessary features, making installation straightforward for POS and kiosk setups.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Designed specifically to accept the Magtek Dynamag USB swipe card reader so the card reader stays stable during use.
• Flexible Connection: Allows the Dynamag micro USB port to be routed from either the side or bottom, which simplifies cable management in tight installations.
• Compact size: At 104mm x 40mm x 20mm the bracket is small enough to fit unobtrusively inside a tablet metal case while giving sufficient support to the reader.
• Designed for TABcare cases: Fits all TABcare 10' and 12' metal cases so it integrates cleanly with those enclosures without modification.
• Durable metal construction: The metal bracket matches the robustness of metal tablet cases and withstands repeated card swipes in retail and hospitality settings.

Who It's For

This bracket is aimed at businesses and integrators using a TABcare 10' or 12' metal case paired with a Magtek Dynamag reader. It is ideal for retail checkouts, mobile point of sale carts, and self-service kiosks where a secure, fixed reader mount and tidy cable routing improve reliability and customer flow.

Customers who do not already use a TABcare metal case or those who need an all-in-one terminal with built-in card reader should look elsewhere, because the bracket alone does not include the metal case or the Magtek Dynamag reader and is intended as a component rather than a complete solution.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Simple, fit-for-purpose design that secures the Dynamag reader and keeps the USB connection accessible.
• Small footprint with precise dimensions that fit inside TABcare 10' and 12' metal cases without interfering with tablet placement.
• Durable metal construction suited to the rough handling of retail environments.
• Supports flexible cable routing from side or bottom for cleaner installations.

Cons

• Not a complete package: the metal case and Magtek Dynamag reader are not included, so additional purchases are required.
• Limited to specific reader compatibility and TABcare cases, so it is not a universal bracket for other readers or enclosures.
