I have four children doing at home learning this year. I’ve had this charging dock for a few months and it has made charging iPads much more convenient and neat. There is also room for our cell phones. We did purchase some short cables to make it more tidy. I think they’re about 7”. I wouldn’t suggest anything shorter than that. I read multiple reviews on similar products and this was the one I chose. So far so good. Even if it doesn’t last until next year I wouldn’t regret my purchase. All the outlets are still in working condition and the fast charge outlet is handy if someone needs a quick charge for some reason, though school tech support doesn’t recommend it. The school tech support also said to only use apple charging cables, which I was told after my purchase of generic cables. This may effect the long term battery life of the device. Hope this helps. I highly recommend. Update: over a year later, working great. Good find Read more
This station is absolutely excellent. It charges everything and we've had zero issues, except for those little dividers they give - they come out too easily, so we glued them down and everything is good. Read more
We have been using this for about 5 months now. The first impressions of the charging station were very good. We typically charge 3 iPads, 2 iPhones, and 4 Kindles each night. It was very convenient to do all of these at the same time. We purchased several 12” charging cords to make this clean and simple. Although we do like the device there are a few simple design improvements that would make this a much better device. The first issue we noticed was the blue light on the front. It was extremely bright. Because we had this set up in our bedroom the bright blue light was a little annoying, but most people are not likely to have this in a bedroom, so this may not be a problem for most. We solved this with a small piece of black tape. The second issue we noticed after using it for several weeks is that the plastic removable dividers tend to pop out easily when you are removing a device. We are constantly putting them back in. We tried to use some tape to hold them in place. It would be a nice improvement if they slid to the side to lock in place more securely. An improvement that I think they made is that the main charging brick for the unit. Some comments had mentioned an extremely short cord but the one that we received had about 36” from the brick to the unit. I would give these 4 stars. It would get 5 stars if the dividers would stay in place better. Read more
We've been using this for our kids' tablets and phones and it works great! Good quality. I like that the dividers can be customized so you can fit different sized devices. Read more
I got this for my youth group as a nice-guy way of getting them to put away their phones during service. They love it! It looks and feels pretty solid (though I do make sure the students don't jerk phones off of it or anything). Amazon sells some great packs of 6" usb charging cables (that helps... having charging cables). It says it's fast charge, and it really is! I have an older phone with a struggling battery, but this thing perks it right up and fast! I am super impressed and it makes our class feel pretty high tech! (And it gets people off their phones!!!!!) Read more
Bought this for the same reason everyone else ...too man gadgets and cords! It is very nice to have everything in one spot charging and ready to go when I need it. No more wondering where I left it. I got micro USB for ole skool gadgets, lightning cables for older iPads, and USB c for newer phones/switch etc. The connection where USB meets dock is loosey goosey but it does make a connection just feels not very tight. I do love all the interchangeable dock insterts soi can adjust where gadgets lean. Here's where I'm kinda unhappy. The cord and brick for dock is kinda huge and hard to hide because cord is short.b not a deal breaker but good to know. There is only one fast charger that will fast charge today's cell phones. The other ports will charge but it's a slow charge. I just keep anything I might need sooner on end Port but be aware there is only one . Also only the fast charger will charge iPad pros. The other ports do not have enough juice to do the job. I have 2 iPad pros and this is kind of a bummer. The only upgrade to this dock is a 2 fast charger port version and it gets into 75 dollar range and then u are only getting one more port. I decided it's not worth the exchange and additional money I'll make it work. Overall I am happy having 2 phones constantly charged, my switch, my hearing assist buds, my psp etc. The short cords are highly recommended as they don't come with this model but definitely don't look as messy. I would probably buy again Read more
This is a great charging station. Most of stuff in the “bad” reviews has been fixed. The power cord has more than enough length on both ends of the brick and the dividers on top are solidly in place. I would recommend getting cables (not included) that are at least 1 foot in length as some of the shorter ones are a tight fit. Charges everything as quickly as 2.1a can go. The fast charging port (1) works great. This unit helped me organize and charge all my phones, tablets, and batteries. I think it was a good purchase. Read more
