We offer compatible iPad docks for every model released since 2012. (iPad 1, 2, 3, 4 are not supported and not recommended due to obsolescence)

Start by identifying your iPad using our Shop by iPad page, which includes direct links to compatible SimpliDocks.

Contact Us with any questions!

SimpliDock's faceplate has an integrated male-to-female connector, which means charging functions exactly the same as plugging into the iPad directly. That means you have complete flexibilty on the charging solution... Whether it be the cable and USB power supply that comes in the box with the iPad or one of our specialized in-wall charging solutions.

Absolutely! We recommend keeping the charging connector at the bottom of the dock when installed vertically to allow for the safest and easiest iPad docking and removal.

This is one of the unique aspects of our iPad docking solution! The SimpliDock includes an array of strong neodymium magnets in strategic locations embedded inside the dock frame that discretely hold the iPad securely inside the dock.

When you need to remove the iPad, a firm press is enough to overpower the magnets and eject one side just enough to unplug and remove.

Our product is designed for use in stationary, vertical walls. It may also be mounted on an incline from 0º to 90º in desktop/podium applications.

SimpliDock should never be used in a moving vehicle, boat, airplane, etc. The inertial forces could result in the iPad unintentionally ejecting from the dock.

Technically, yes. But not what you're thinking 😊

SimpliDock bezels are made from precision cut acrylic plastic. This gives us the widest range of colors and finishes of any iPad dock on the market, which helps the product blend with your decor.

In the case of the "stainless" finish, the manufacturer of the material has laminated a very thin layer of real metal onto a textured clear acrylic substrate giving it an authentic stainless steel look with some distinct benefits over "real" stainless:

1. It resists fingerprints. Raw stainless steel is frustrating to keep clean. Our product remains glossy and completely unaffected by fingerprints. No special cleaners needed, just wipe with a microfiber now and then.

2. It will not scratch your iPad. Pure stainless steel is harder than the aluminum used for the iPad chassis. By using an acrylic coated bezel, we ensure the iPad is safe and protected as it is docked and removed.

SimpliDock has an integrated acoustic waveguide to direct the iPad sound output toward the front of the dock/wall surface. This, combined with a discreet airgap around the speakers (instead of unsightly holes or grilles) allows the iPad dock to maintain crisp, clear sound output while maintaining our signature minimalist aesthetic.

SimpliDock is proudly assembled in the USA from globally sourced components by a small, highly trained team. We test fit each and every dock with a geniune iPad to ensure proper fit and function before hand packaging every unit.

We offer a 12-month manufacturer's warranty on all products sold through our online store (proof of purchase required).
