The MagTek iDynamo and mobile case are used to provide table-side ordering and payment.
NOTE: This case is designed for use with the iPad Mini Generation 6 (2022 release). The iPad Mini Gen 6 uses a USB-C charger instead of a Apple Lightning.
TIP: The case can be used without a card reader if the POS is only used for ordering table-side and payment is made at the counter, although this configuration would be less common.
