There are hundreds of different docks available for the iPhone, although many of them suffer from a similar problem. When trying to undock your iPhone, the dock usually comes still attached to your iPhone if you try to remove your handset, and many of them won’t work with your case. This can be quite frustrating for users who are looking for a seamless and hassle-free experience.
The Elevation Dock is the work of designer Casey Hopkins, and it is probably the coolest iPhone dock we have seen to date. Have a look at the video of it in action below.
Design and Usability
It certainly looks a lot more user-friendly than some of the iPhone docks available. The Elevation Dock is made from machined aluminum, giving it a sleek and durable finish. It will be available in a variety of colors, allowing users to choose one that best matches their personal style or home decor. The dock’s design ensures that it remains stable on your desk or nightstand, making it easy to undock your iPhone with just one hand. This is a significant improvement over many other docks that tend to stick to the phone when you try to remove it.
Another standout feature of the Elevation Dock is its compatibility with iPhone cases. Many docks require you to remove your phone case before docking, which can be inconvenient. However, the Elevation Dock is designed to work seamlessly with most cases, saving you time and effort.
Kickstarter Success and Availability
The Elevation Dock is a Kickstarter project, and it has already exceeded its goal of $75,000. This overwhelming support from backers means that the dock will go into production and should be available around April next year. The pricing is expected to be about $90 or $120, depending on whether you want the audio out feature or not. The audio out option is particularly useful for those who want to connect their iPhone to external speakers for a better audio experience.
The success of the Elevation Dock on Kickstarter is a testament to the demand for a high-quality, user-friendly iPhone dock. Many users have expressed their frustration with existing docks, and the Elevation Dock seems to address these issues effectively. Its innovative design and practical features make it a standout product in a crowded market.
