iPort iPad Dock

Found this iPort docking station with case and base station for $38 on eBay. Fits an iPad Air 1 or 2. Looks great and does exactly what I want. The seller also has them for iPad 4.

Looks like you picked up that case a little too late. :wink:

Good observation! No biggie. It’s still exactly what I wanted it to look like. I only wish they made this for an iPad mini

I’ve got my old Xooms in the desk docking stations. In some cases it’s better than wall mounting. Definitely easier

Not familiar with that. Looking it up now. I decided to use the iPad so that I could have the Sonos app as well as my Chamberlain app and homekit. Oh, don’t forget about the ring app.

They do make the docks for minis, see the product catalog here

They make great, high quality products but are on the higher end of the market - I’ve never pressed the trigger due to price and being undecided about iOS as my control panel of choice. If these were for Galaxy S2 or S3 it would be a no brainer for me.

What’s interesting, their sleeve with buttons works with Lutron - I think these present themselves as picos - will research if this could work with ST via the excellent community Lutron solution I’m using from @njschwartz

That might just tip me over the edge.

Thanks! I know that they made the charger case for the iPad mini that has the big magnet on the back. I did not realize they make one like the charging case I have. I prefer the size of the iPad mini so now I will order one with an iPad mini. Not sure what the retail prices on that sleeve but I have been unable to find them on eBay. I thought the style of the dock/charging sleeve was the old version, and the new one with the possible wall mount was new. I just assumed they were discontinuing them and that’s why I found them cheap.
