OT: Decent iPad stand/dock/charger?

SkillipEvolver

Hey all.

There's tonnes of these on eBay in all shapes and sizes, but reviews on there (and Amazon) can be iffy so I thought I'd ask here as most of us own an iPad.

I'm looking for recommendations on a charger dock so I can just jam it on the base instead of fiddling with the lightning cable all the time.

My case is permanently on but is fairly thin and the speaker & lightning port are not covered by it.

Any reliable, solid recommendations guys?

None... or custom made. All the docks out there have compromises from one point or another. It’s better to invest in cck3+psu@+hub (or audio interface with hub)

I think that may be overkill.. I'm just looking for a charging dock to stick it on at night.

Just for charge?

you just need a supply with enough power, depending on the demand of your iPad. An iPad2 runs fine with 0.5 Ampere from any source, an iPad4 needs at least 1 Ampere, an iPad Pro demands 2.5 Ampere.

I keep my iPads powered with USB hubs that have at least 50 Watts. There's an Anker USB hub with 60 Watts, I can recommend that one. But I'm also known to use solar powered solutions, which provide enough power for any tablets. These solutions provide 2.1-3.0 Ampere.

Thanks for the replies guys.
But to be honest I am just looking for suggestions on a simple dock/charger base really. But it doesn't sound like too many people out there with these.

Since we are at AudioBus forum I understood (wrongly) you asked for audio docks.
For charging I have no idea aside the original apple one.
