New ElevationDock 4 for iPhone and iPad Features, Price News: One-Handed MFi-Certified Lightning Dock Improves on Usability
Elevation Lab confirms that it is releasing a new accessory for the iPhone and iPad. The new ElevationDock4 deviates from the design of the original model but it improves on the function and usability more efficiently.
The new ElevationDock 4 for iPhone and iPad features a lightning dock that could be used with just one hand. The accessory is also MFi-certified, which means that its cables won't heat up and damage Apple gadgets that are common among knock-offs and other third-party accessories.
The improved ElevationDock 4 comes with adjustable thumb screws at the back so that it can be angled and fitted to gadgets even with its protective cases on. iPhone and iPads with thicker multi-layer cases like OtterBox Defender and LifeProof, however, won't fit properly on an ElevationDock 4.
The accessory also comes with micro-suction cups that can be attached at the bottom so that the dock is firmly planted on the surface. The ElevationDock 4 shouldn't clutter and take too much desk space as it was built and designed as a compact item.
The connector of the ElevationDock 4 is made of medical-grade silicon material and the body itself is molded from stainless steel. The model choices include only two kinds: matte black or matte white, each with 5-feet blue braided cords. There is no assembly required for the dock as the accessory basically plugs and use.
Pre-order is up with a suggested retail price of $59 and free shipping to the United States. The company did not announce when the ElevationDock 4 should hit store shelves specifically. But a two-week delivery time has been estimated among U.S. consumers once the item is ready for launch.
Elevation Lab sprung in the market in 2007 but did not produce accessories for Apple products until 2012. Its first ElevationDock launched on Kickstarter and successfully reached its funding goal within a day.
