I'll even take a dummy stand with the magstripe reader....but I can't find an older stand for sale.  I've checked Ebay and every store I can find.

We don't currently offer an Stand for an iPad mini, but you are able to use the Square Reader with a third party stand. 

You can order a reader on your Square Dashboard and click “Get a Card Reader” from the drop-down account menu on the top-right of the page.

Check out these 3rd party stands to use with your iPad Mini and Square Reader:

- Heckler Design Windfall Stand for iPad Mini

- Heckler Design Windfall Stand Portrait for iPad Mini

Hi - thanks for the info about Heckler.  We plan to order their stand for the mini iPad.  I understand that there is a square reader/swipe for $29 that plugs into the iPad.  We don't need the touch less system at $49.  Am I correct and will it work fine with the iPad mounted into the Heckler holder?

@SeaBeadDesign - There shouldn't be any issues using the Square Chip Card Reader, although I highly recommend the Square Contactless and Chip Card Reader. It pairs wirelessly, and allows your customers the option to use ApplePay and Android Pay.
