It takes up only about as much room on your countertop as a single iPad. But it gives you a place to store and charge 5 tablets at one time, from a single power source. PowerDock 5 gives each tablet its own charging connection and its own clear backrest. Each charging bay is roomy enough to accommodate your iPad and its case, so you'll never need to remove your iPad from its case to charge. Space-saving PowerDock 5 sits on your countertop or shelf, ready to charge. Please note: PowerDock 5 is optimized for all iOS devices (iPad, iPad mini, iPhone, iPod touch, iPod nano). PowerDock 5's 5 volt (2.1 amp) charging circuitry will also charge most Kindles and Android smartphones. Because many devices have unique charging requirements, charging times vary. Check your device's manual for its special requirements.
