Elevation Dock might even live up to its slogan: 'The Best Dock For iPhone'
Your iPhone dock sucks. Despite its heft, you need two hands to prize your phone from its grasp, and good luck even getting your phone in there if it’s wearing a case.
And thousands of people agree, which is why the Elevation Dock has already blown past its Kickstarter goal of $75,000 and currently stands with $223,000 in funding–with 58 days still to go.
The Elevation Dock–by Casey Hopkins–is the dock Apple should have made. It is milled from solid aluminum, just like the unibody MacBooks, and has enough weight that it stays on the desk or nightstand when you lift out the phone. Casey has also designed the 30-pin connector to create less friction, and sticky rubber feet stop it from skating around on even the most polished of tabletops.
You can also use it with the phone in a case: a bumper pad at the back is reversible to fit the iPhone in both thin and fat cases. Finally, there’s a line-level audio output at the back.
Considering that Apple expects you to pay $29 for its plastic chunk of junk, $59 seems very reasonable for this high-end version. And when the Elevation Dock goes on regular, non-Kickstarter sale, it’ll still be just $90.
I just wish somebody would make a replacement for the absurd iPad sock.
