iPhone 5 Elevation Dock, One Stunning Aluminum Dock

/

The most influential iPhone 4S dock is now ready to take on the iPhone 5. The made-in-the-USA Elevation Dock is a beautifully machined, weighty solid aluminum dock fitted with a removable Lightning connector assembly that works with all sorts of iPhone 5 cases. Some of the aluminum finishes the iPhone 5 Elevation Dock comes in include polished anodized blue and black colors as well as glass bead blasted matte silver and black finishes which closely match the finish of Apple products. We haven't seen much if any iPhone 5 docks that are at the Elevation Dock's level, it really is absolutely stunning - and functional too. Besides having the ability to use virtually any case on your iPhone 5 with the Elevation Dock, docking your device will provide you with the perfect portrait viewing and FaceTimeing camera angle too.

The iPhone 5 Elevation Dock doesn't feature an audio-out port like its iPhone 4S sibling nor does it come with a pre-installed Lightning cable or connector, so you're going to have to use the one you have on hand. And it doesn't come cheap either at $89.

Finally, A Dock Fit For Your Gorgeous iPhone 5

/


Ever since the rumors of the Lightning connector, manufacturers have been rushing to supply customers with a dock that is just as awesome as the iPhone 5 itself, especially considering that Apple isn't directly selling any docks. Lots of people tried but not many have succeeded; we think Dock+ just might be what we've been looking for. 

Taking a solid piece of steel, the creators of Dock+ infuses great and simple design with a clear function into the perfect dock for your iPhone 5 or any other product with a Lightning connector, such as the iPad mini and the new iPod Touch. As it is created out of a heavy material, one-handed docking and undocking comes easily and securely. You won't have to worry about knocking your iPhone over and it comes with a rubber bottom to prevent any sliding. 

The Dock+ also features a soft rubber padding that prevents any contact between the steel and your iPhone so as to not damage or scratch it. Even with a bulky case on your device, Dock+ will still be able to dock and charge it. The Lightning charging pin features a flex design to ensure easy undocking. The power connects through an included micro-USB cable that threads through the bottom of the Dock+, maintaining the clean and simple design. 

The Dock+ is currently going through fundraising on Kickstarter and is available in Black or White to match your iPhone's color or a Kickstarter special Raw Steel. Head on over to their page and get pledging!

ZOpro Has Just About Everything You Ever Wanted For Your iPhone 5

You might have seen the magnetic clip on camera lenses for the iPhone that lets you take your iPhoneography to the next level. You might have also seen the iPhone tripods that allows for some crisp and clear photos. Then there's the portable charging cases that we've all come to know too well. However, that was three separate products I just named off. ZOpro takes all three of those things and combines them to create an extremely versatile and lightweight case that could just be the next best thing. 

Starting with the charging function, the ZOpro cleverly hides a small USB connector within the case so all you do is slip the bottom end off and plug it right in to your computer. This gets rid of the hassle of bringing along those long and tangly cords we all could get along without. 

As for the tripod, it comes with a magnetic piece that holds your iPhone in place for easy access in case you get a message or call during your shoot. It will attach to most tripods without a problem. There are countless other accessories that are compatible with the ZOpro such as a kickstand, dash mount, and removable handle that could all come in handy during your daily routines. 

The magnetic camera lenses prove to be quite the hot item now that iPhonegraphy has extended past the daily Instagram pic of your latest meal. ZOpro features a rapid magnetic lens that simply grabs onto the ZOpro case and is ready to shoot. There are lenses for macro, fisheye, and wide angle photos. For a little bit extra, ZOpro will throw in an olloclip compatible accessory. 

As with most awesome ideas that come our way, a lot of them are from Kickstarter. This is no different. Head on over to their Kickstarter page and help to bring this genius idea to the market. Pledge rewards vary but the best of them are limited and are almost running out. The ZOpro is aiming for a January-February ship date and will be available for both the iPhone 4/S and the new iPhone 5. 

Head on past the break for a preview video.

The Lightning Dock's Aluminum iPhone 5 Dock

/

All right we admit it, these Lightning charging docks for the iPhone 5 are kind of getting sleeker and more simplistic by the day. And we like what we see. We've found out about yet another new Lightning dock for the iPhone 5 that's made by a company conveniently called The Lightning Dock or TLD for short. Their iPhone 5 Dock comes in two simplistic and sleek designs made out of either a solid aluminum or hardwood weighted puck with rubbery feet, both of which claim to be very stable even though the only support that keeps the iPhone 5 vertically standing is the tiny, built-in Lightning dock connector cable.

But we doubt that the dock will keep your iPhone 5 safely steady if you touch anywhere from the middle to the top part of the touchscreen while docked. TLD's iPhone 5 Dock includes a Lightning cable and priced at $80 for the aluminum dock and $50 for the hardwood dock, respectively. See it in action after the jump.

Meet The iPhone 5 Dock With Lightning Connector

/

Apple may have neglected to release a charging dock amongst other convenient accessories for the iPhone 5, but that doesn't mean we the people won't get what we want. This is the third party Lightning Dock for the iPhone 5. Complete with a Lightning charge and sync plug in a minimalist, glossy plastic Apple iPhone 4S dock design. Naturally it's not in stock at the moment due to high demand, and we haven't mentioned the fact that when Apple noticed this dock they haven't made, it'll be long gone. You can grab the iPhone 5 Dock with Lightning Connector for the hefty price of $50 when it becomes available again.
