Twelve South has introduced the HiRise for both the iPhone 5 and iPad mini, a $35 uniquely designed brushed metal desktop stand dock that utilizes your Lightning cable to form a charging plinth which also puts your iPhone or iPad mini as a much closer viewing level as does Twelve South's HiRise for the iMac. Aside from its wide sturdy base and narrow Lightning connector stem that doesn't block the headphone port, mic and speaker of your iPhone 5, the HiRise stand features a height-adjustable Lightning connector along with an adjustable back support that allows it to fit virtually any slim and bulky iPhone 5 and iPad mini case with a recessed connection port opening including but of course Twelve South's BookBook vinage leather wallet case.

If you're looking for a hands-free stand with built-in charging functionality that you could actually use with your iPhone or iPad still attached, the HiRise seems to fit the bill without costing more than a regular protective case. We can only assume that Apple's next generation iPhone 5S will work with the HiRise thanks to its adjustable features so you could say it's a future-proof stand dock. It's worth noting that the HiRise also works with other Lightning connector Apple devices like the iPod touch 5 and 7th generation iPod nano.

Twelve South's HiRise for the iPhone and iPad mini is now available. Check out the video of how it all comes together after the break.

In the search for greater heights, Twelve South has released the first height-adjustable MacBook stand called the HiRise. Not to be confused with the company's $80 HiRise for iMacs and Apple Displays, the sturdy aluminum-made HiRise is beautifully designed to elevate and provide an adjustable platform for any MacBook to your ideal ergonomic viewing angle. The HiRise can also align the MacBook's screen with that of an external Apple Display for a perfectly matching dual-display setup environment.

Twelve South's MacBook HiRise features a spring-loaded piston that lets you easily adjust the height, non-slip arms that improve the airflow and can accommodate all MacBook sizes from an 11-inch MacBook Air to a 15-inch MacBook Pro. The HiRise height-adjustable stand for MacBooks is available now for $70.
