securing an ipad ?

I use a standard size (9.7") ipad in this kneeboard in rented C172's

I find it bulky and clumsy, I have to have it open on my knee with the cover getting in the way, and the whole thing catching on the controls. I thought being able to flip it up like in the picture on Pooley's website would be nice, but there is nothing like enough space to do that. WhenI need to scribble things down on paper, I have to awkwardly close it up to get to the paper on the outer cover, and find a pencil by which time the paper has usually fallen off the outer clip.


Any thoughts on a better arrangement ? I have seen mounts for the control column, but they look very awkward, does anyone have experience with them? Maybe I should have gone for an ipad mini, but I find it much easier to get the nav big picture on a bigger screen.
