Plugable8-in-1 USB C Hub for iPad with Stand, 100W Pass-Through Charging, USB C Docking Station for iPad, 1x HDMI, 2X USB, Audio, SD, Driverless, Compatible with Windows, iPadOS, Phones, Tablets

The media could not be loaded. Brilliant aluminium 8 in 1 dock from Plugable.It acts as a phone, tablet/ iPad stand.In terms of ports we have 2x USB 3, HDMI, microSD, SD card, USB C 100W Pass-through Charging, audio in jack and USB C to connect your device.Compatible with Windows, iPadOS, USB-C Phones, and Tablet.In my video I was even able to connect a HP laptop via USB C and project the image to an external screen.I definitely recommend this dock.

This docking station for i-Pad and other USB-C tablets and phones maybe a bit pricey but it’s not just a simple tablet/phone stand. It has a lot more to offer. As with other plugable products it arrived in its own well branded and slick looking box and comes with a two year warranty. There is a supplied USB-C to USB-C cable to connect your device and a USB-C power 100W pass-through port on the station (using your existing devices power cable).With an 8 Port hub, it makes any device that much more multifunctional, expanding storage and opening connectivity options. You can also charge your device through the stand. The device I am currently using does not support Display Port Alt Mode (and my current display does not have HDMI), but I am glad that I have this station, as it is future proofed when the monitor gives up on me. That said, by the time I get another monitor, 4k at 30hz will be the absolute minimum.All of the other ports and Audio in/out were tested and all seem fine and the connections are firm. It would have been great to have ethernet included but not a must-have for me.As a stand, it is sturdy and good quality with tilting and anti-slip design. It is reassuringly stiff to adjust and it fits a larger 10.2" iPad (with bulky case) comfortably but more suited to 10.9" without case. I have even tried a smaller MBA when I needed quick access to a couple of attached peripherals and although it is not advertised for this, it was OK for me… but I used extreme caution as something large/heavy could make it tip easily if not angled properly. The stand itself is small enough to easily sit alongside a monitor without taking too much desk space, even with larger tablets. This should not hinder your workspace at all if using with smaller tablets or phones.At £75.05 with 5% discount applied at time of writing this, it represents fair value when you effectively have a hub and a quality stand.

Would be great if it folded flat to keep in my laptop bag, or had a detachable stand, and had a USB C port for my external portable monitor.

I got this hoping to turn my Galaxy Tab S7+ into more of a desktop capable tablet and I am absolutely delighted to say it works beautifully!Plugged a keyboard, mouse, TV and power into this dock, connected my tablet into the USB host port and instantly the tab prompted me to enter DeX mode. Up it popped on the TV and after changing the audio setting I was able to use the TV as a full blown full HD monitor for my tablet. Everything is responsive, no audio lag, no weird display issues. This means as long as I have my bluetooth mouse and keyboard and this dock I no longer need to carry my laptop with me!The unit itself is built like a tank. Full metal, very strong (almost too stiff) hinges which have absolutely no trouble heaving up my heavy tablet.I wasn't expecting to love this as much as I do but I'm kinda blown away by how easy it all is.It IS pricey, and you can get similar docks cheaper, but this is all about the convenience and build quality. To have it hold the tablet up comfortably, be foldable and compact and as tough feeling as it is, this thing is a tank!Love it!

This is an overpriced and rather poor quality item for that price.It’s basically a stand for an iPad. That’s it.It had a power facility, but that makes no difference as you could just plug it in directly. The other options are meaningless.This cannot hold a laptop.An utter waste of your money.

I sometimes like to have my iPad at the side of the desk when I'm working and the fact that this has a passthrough charging port is a tremendous benefit since it means I can keep the iPad top top while I'm working.The banister can use it just for your normal phone as well of course although because of the size of it it's probably bigger than you would want just for a phone.I also like that there is a headphones port so that if you connect this to your desktop computer you can power the stand and use it as an output device as well as having the camera card slots as well which is really cool.For that reason it actually saves space for me from having to use several separate accessories that I used to use and there is an HDMI port on the back which some people may find useful although I'm not using it personally.All in all I think this is a great combo stand.

This is a well-made adjustable dock, designed for a tablet more than a phone as the holder section is wider than many phones. Unlike most stands, the base is heavier, which gives the holder a more stable base as well as proving expansion capabilities from the USB, memory card and HDMI ports. You also get a short USB cable with the holder but if you want to use a larger tablet in landscape, this may be too short.Having used it now for a while, I have been impressed with the build. The adjustment is easy as the upright and top section just pivot with good resistance. Even with heavier tablets, it holds without closing.The expansion ports have provided some issues with the tablet, although this is mainly down to incompatible file formats on the pen drives. I was also able to charge my tablet at full speed thanks to the pass-thru charging port.Recommended if you need a heavier duty tablet stand. Another quality Plugable product.
