Great video from Jeff Benjamin, 9to5Mac. Jump to about 1:10 in to skip the unboxing.

This is a pretty cool gadget if the iPad is your main computing device. It’s a solid stand, continuously rotatable and tiltable, with (about 2:45 in) a bunch of ports (that’s the hub part). And there’s even an add-on so you can charge your Apple Watch.

I do love the concept, but this is an expensive bit of kit. $480+. Gulp.

And, like an iPhone case, once you move on to a new generation of iPad, chances are, this stand won’t work with the new shape of the new iPad. Watch Jeff insert his iPad (3:50 in). This hub was designed specifically for a particular iPad. No one size fits all. But my gut tells me a one size fits all design would be possible. And that would have been a home run for me.

Still, iPads do have pretty long lives, and if you are living that good iPad life, this is worth a look.
