I bought the first Sketchboard Pro a few weeks before this one came out, and it's been bugging me since.The first one was a great addition to the iPad for drawing, but it was a tad too big and heavy and lacked height adjustments. Also, I couldn't use the third party USB-C charging cable I use because the hole was too small.After a while, I just caved in and decided to get this one, and though I hated having to fork out a nice chunk of money, I don't regret it.You can make this one go at a bit more of an angle. The iPad fits better, and it's the perfect size to remain useful for drawing and carrying around.I know there are cheaper options out there, and you can probably DIY something, but it's hard to argue about that out-of-the-box ease of use and just the build quality of the device.
