Worried about securing your tablets in public spaces? Or maybe you’re looking for a sleek design that complements your modern office or store?
At Bouncepad we have two ranges available to suit different needs – the Core range and the Original range.
In this brief guide, we’ll compare the benefits and features of both ranges side by side, helping you work out which is the best one for your specific use case.
1. Tablet Security
- Core Range: Uses a 3M adhesive mounting system to attach the tablet to the stand, making it look slim and stylish. The adhesive creates a near-permanent bond for security, foiling any would-be thieves.
- Original Range: Features a lockable enclosure to secure the tablet and conceals the power cable. The enclosed design makes Original tablet stands slightly more suitable for unattended and busy areas.
2. Aesthetics
- Core Range: Has a minimalist design, showing off the tablet in its full form without additional enclosures. The modern aesthetic is ideal for environments where appearance is important, such as hotel reception desks or high-end retail stores.
- Original Range: Has a more classic and functional design that covers the tablet, emphasizing security and durability over aesthetics.
4. Tablet Compatibility
- Core Range: Offers universal compatibility with any USB-C powered tablet or iPad.
- Original Range: Each Original Range product is configured to the exact specifications of your chosen tablet. We support all iPads and a wide range of Samsung and Microsoft tablets.
5. Mounting Options
- The Core Range and Original Range share the same mounting arms, including wall mounts, desk mounts, freestanding options for countertops and floor stands.
5. Cable Management
- Core Range: Has integrated cable grips to secure and manage power cables while keeping the design minimal. Cables are trunked and concealed through the mounting arm.
- Original Range: The cables are fully concealed in the lockable enclosure, offering a cable-free solution which is ideal for permanent placement. Cables are trunked and concealed through the mounting arm.
7. Price Point
- Core Range: Typically comes at a slightly lower price point due to its minimal design and adhesive mounting system.
- Original Range: Costs more due to its enclosed and lockable design.
9. User Experience
- Core Range: The open design allows full access to all the tablet’s features, such as front facing cameras and buttons. This makes the Core range ideal for interactive experiences such as guided retail or self-service ID checks.
- Original Range: Obscures access to some of the features, but provides more security.
Unique Features Comparison
- Core Range Main Benefits
- Universal Compatibility: Works with all USB-C tablets, including the latest 2024 iPad models.
- Tamper-Resistant Cable Management: Secures cables with a 180-degree cable head, keeping a clean and professional look.

- Original Range Main Benefits
- High-Security Enclosures: Ideal for public spaces with less supervision.
- Fully Concealed Cables: Sleek, enclosed solution suitable for permanent installations.

Overall, both Bouncepad ranges offer flexible tablet and iPad stands to meet pretty much any use case. However, if you’re looking for a clean, sleek style then the Core range is going to be the best bet. If you’re looking for additional security and durability for busy areas like shops, airports, libraries or museums, then the Original range might be better.
