Tablet charging and sync dock

A convenient dock keeps a tablet powered and ready, ideal for a desk or nightstand setup.

A tablet charging and sync dock gives a tablet a set spot on a desk or nightstand where it stays upright and powered. It suits people who use their tablet as a bedside clock, photo frame or family calendar and want fewer loose cables.
