[ipad] what ipad air charging / trolleys are you using?

[RabbieBurns]

Looking for some options for charging / storage of ipad airs please...

 

what is everyone using?

[3s-gtech]

We use these Loxit Lapbank iPad Charge Trolley 32 | iPad Trolley | iPad Cart | Loxit

 

Awesome build quality, the non-sync models are much cheaper but they're still a significant cost.

We've got one of these and does the job nicely.

 

Cheaper than most of it's competitors.

Lapsafe everytime. With iPads I would not go for anything else apart from sync and charge with Mac. Try updating 30 iPads to ios... over wifi. firstly it will take forever, also most proxies throw a wobbly. Configurator, Mac, sync and charge trolley is the dream ticket for iPad management.

Hi @RabbieBurns I'm familiar with all of the suggestions made and would have no problem recommending all of them; The Loxit for true mobility, The Lapsafe for incredible build quality, the TabCabby for customization, and another contender I'd point you in the direction of would be the Isis iPad Charge and Sync Trolley for value for money; Isis iPad Charge & Sync Trolley | ISIS Concepts

We love the Loxits, they're incredibly well built! Pricey, but worth it IMO.

The Tabcabby is a great budget solution, Not as secure as it's competitors, but it makes up for it by being nice and cheap!

We use the logotrons which either come as charging only or sync & charge. Decent build quality except for the kettle lead which will pop out very easily if pulled. Putting it back in isn't as easy as it's sits behind a panel that you have to open with a hex key.

Overall, they're ok. I wouldn't buy another.

[RabbieBurns]

Thanks for all the suggestions. Now just need to check which are available in this country..

We have gone for 3 of these to start with,

Griffin MultiDock - 10 Bay (GA38330) - www.misco.co.uk

 

They are great, you need some short charging cables to make a tidy setup though.

sync station ? this cost next to nothing ;p

[seawolf]

We prefer the PCLocs iPad Sync and Charge units - iPad Sync & Charge Archives | PC LocsPC Locs

 

We have also have a Griffin multi-dock and that works fairly well, although it can't sync AND charge at the same time. It can sync OR charge, but not simultaneously.

 

Also, we have one Gilkon sync and charge trolley, but these aren't nearly as well designed or built as the PCLocs units and I wouldn't buy another one.

Cool stuff @seawolf! Are they available in the UK?

Similar to the setup we use, but I've gone a little more DIY hackjob..

Yep, looks like they are branded as Lock n' Charge overseas

Can't believe the Aussies have kept these a secret for so long!! We have stairs everywhere so the basket concept is perfect for us! Otherwise any toploading case that has USB ports rather than 230v power strips inside (urgh)
