It takes up only about as much room on your countertop as a single iPad. But it gives you a place to store & charge 5 tablets at one time, from a single power source. Power Dock 5 gives each tablet its own charging port & its own clear backrest. Each charging bay is roomy enough to accommodate your iPad & its case, so youll never need to remove your iPad from its case to charge. An illuminated status light tells when Power Dock 5 is powered up & ready to charge.
