What point of sale system? iPad holder?

I've looked into these and it would cost roughly $500 for me to get set up with a Ipad and everything and then would be handing it to customers to sign on screen. I just saw it as something that would end up getting dropped and broken so I've stuck with my trusty $250 cash register and paper receipts. I do swipe cards with my Iphone and Square and have not broken my phone so I may reconsider.

We have the clover mini. No complaints, easy to use. I am not a fan of having someone swipe my credit card on their phone. The built in printer is handy as well.

Is there a reason that I am unaware of? If so how does it differ from using a Square Ipad Point of Sale? Thanks

I am back to using old school register that tracks sales iPad for square only

It is personal preference. I feel more comfortable using my card at a place that has an actual terminal instead of Larry using his iphone with the realtree case and a busted screen. What other apps are running on his phone? I have had my debit card compromised after using it at a restaurant. PNC took care of me but it was a gigantic PITA. It is debatable that the terminals are safer than someones phone however the only thing mine is used for is processing.

I see what you're saying, just remember those apps can be on a Ipad point of sale too.
