VidaMount Black Home Button Covered Enclosure and Fixed VESA Slim Wall

In this review the author examines the VidaMount Black Home Button Covered Enclosure bundled with a fixed VESA slim wall mount, intended for older iPad models. The bottom line: this kit is for someone who needs a secure, low-profile wall installation that protects the front controls while still allowing access to the rear camera and tidy cable routing. The review highlights that the enclosure blocks the power button by default and covers the home button and front camera for a cleaner, tamper-resistant look, while the VESA 100 mount and removable tablet make it practical for semi-permanent displays.

Key Features

• Covered Home Button: The bezel hides the front home button and front camera to prevent accidental presses and present a clean face for public or kiosk use.
• Fixed VESA 100 Mount: The included VESA 100 fixed wall mount gives a stable, low-profile attachment with a 0.6 in wall-to-enclosure clearance for a slim installed profile.
• Removable Tablet: The tablet can be removed by loosening the VESA set screws, making it portable when maintenance or relocation is needed.
• Clever Cable Management: All wires route neatly through the rear center hole of the enclosure around the VESA mount to keep cables hidden and organized.
• Power Button Control: The power button is blocked by default for security; it can be accessed with a paperclip or by removing the knockout if regular access is required.

Who It's For

This bundle is best for businesses, schools, installers, or homeowners who need a secure mounted solution for older iPad 2/3/4 models and want to minimize tampering or accidental inputs. The covered home button and blocked power control suit kiosk-style use or wall displays where constant interaction with physical controls should be limited.

Those who require frequent, quick access to all tablet buttons or who prefer a mount with adjustable tilt or swivel should look elsewhere; this is a fixed mount with a deliberate emphasis on security and a slim, near-wall appearance rather than full adjustability.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Provides a secure, tamper-resistant face by covering the home button and front camera while exposing the rear camera as needed.
• Slim fixed VESA 100 mount reduces wall gap to about 0.6 in for a neat installed look.
• Tablet is removable with set screws, allowing occasional portability without permanent disassembly.
• Cable routing through the rear center hole keeps cords concealed for a tidy installation.

Cons

• The power button is blocked by default which can be inconvenient unless the knockout is removed or a tool is used to access it.
