I'm unsure about whether a yoke mount puts the ipad closer to your eyes than it optimal. This is partly because its width means that it needs to be forward of the yoke a bit.

For Cessna, RAM also do a glareshield mount which might be useful (the Piper glareshield is too thick). And of course the RAM suction mounts for the windshield are very good.

Personally, I prefer the ipad to be on my lap / knee. But I tend to use it as a chart reader, using the panel mount GPS and Jeppview on a Motion tablet for navigation.

The US Aviation consumer magazine recently did a review of a number of iPad mounts and concluded that they weren't overwhelmed by any of them. There is one (which is rather similar to the Ozrunways holder) called MyClip which they liked for its simplicity. Sporty's has a tilting mechanism and some other one has a removable clipboard as well. The ease of availability if nothing else would suggest the Ozrunways unit is worth a look.
