Top iPad Docks
The iPad is a great piece of technology. You can use it to watch movies, listen to music and use the endless amount of apps available to it. All you have to do is sync it to a pc (if you have all your media on there), let it transfer and you are ready to go. The only thing is, while you sync it through a USB cable most people don’t want to leave their precious iPad lying around with cables dangling from it. What about when you want to use it to watch that great movie, you could prop it up with something lying around on your desk or just hold it for an hour but the only real solution to these problems is to get an iPad dock.
An iPad dock is the all-in-one solution to your syncing and viewing problems. It lets you sync and charge an iPad easily, it’s quick and simple to attach and detach the iPad from the dock so you dont need to mess around with wires and cables any more. However, probably the most important function of it is that you can use it as a stand to watch movies or view images. The iPad dock will keep your iPad upright and stable so you are free to sit back and watch the film or use it to show of the great looking iPad as part of your desk. Combine this with the fact that it will sync and charge while being used as a display and you will never have to worry about the battery dying while your film is playing. An iPad dock is easily one of the most essential and simple iPad accessories you could ever buy, so here is a few that we think are the best.
This glossy black iPad dock features a back plate which can adjust the resting position of the iPad which allows the dock to be compatible with many slimline iPad skins or covers (up to 4mm thick). Have a nice decorative skin for your iPad (something like one of these Gelaskins maybe)? This dock will be perfect for it. You can also change the viewing angle on it to get rid of that annoying glare you might have on the screen when you watch your movie. The back plate comes in a nice illuminated blue for that extra bit of style. It’s also compatible with the iPhone and iPod, so you’ll only ever need one dock.
This desktop cradle, as the name suggests, is ideal for your desk. Perfect for simple syncing and charing of the iPad, it’ll hold it upright so you can watch your movies and slideshows while it charges. Coming in white, the iPad cradle matches the back of the iPad nicely. The iPad cradle also comes with adjustable viewing angles to make sure you have the perfect angle to watch the movie comfortably. Not only that, you can make sure that there is enough room for the iPad to fit even with the biggest of iPad cases on. Have a large book style leather case or shell on the iPad? No problem! It’s also compatible with the iPhone and iPod too.
If you want the most secure dock or stand for your iPad, this is definitely the one for you. The biggest stand we have so far, this one provides maximum support for the iPad. With a large base, the iPad dock stand has extra stability and great quality and construction. Covering the whole length of the iPad base, this stand will hold your iPad up with no problems while it syncs and charges. Coming in a classic matte black finish, you can’t go wrong with this iPad dock. You can also use it with an iPhone or an iPod, although they may look a bit small on the large stand.
Classic iPad Dock
Simple styling and sleek design make this a great accessory for the iPad. Coming in the classic iPad white, this accessory matches the iPad design perfectly. It has also designed for a tight fit against the iPad, making it that little bit more secure and with no gaps it looks just that much better. With the iPad Dock, you get easy access to a dock connector port for syncing or charging, and an audio line out port for connecting to powered speakers via an optional audio cable. The iPad Dock also supports other iPad accessories, such as the iPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter and the iPad Camera Connection Kit. As with the other docks, it is also compatible with iPhone and iPods.
