Extra cooling for iPad mini

[BobAustin]

My iPad mini overheats after about 3.5 to 4hrs in the summer time (TX to CO). These holes were cut in the RAM yoke mount in order to help with cooling the iPad.

You should quickly patent the idea and sell it back to RAM.

I've been meaning to do that to mine, however, it's November in Massachusetts so I will procrastinate until Spring.

The back aluminum sheet of the iPad is known? To be the heat sink.  So putting a few holes to allow cooling air to that surfaces sounds pretty good.

Here is my fix for Ipad overheating.  Last weekend I had a 2 hour flight with the sun on my mini for the entire flight.  No overheating.  This is a Peltier cooling unit(cooing from a integrated circuit?
