Announcing New Essentials for iPhone and iPad Users
New Folio Cases and Car Chargers Offer Smart Protection and Smart Power Everywhere You Go. Kensington, a worldwide leader in delivering smart. safe. simple.™ mobile device accessories, today announced several new power and protection essentials to accessorize up-to-the-minute iPad® and iPhone® technology. The products include folio cases and car chargers designed to work with the latest consumer electronics available today, including mobile devices requiring the Apple® Lightning™ connector.
Kensington’s TriFold Folio Case for the iPad is a thin, hard case designed to protect and cushion all sides and corners of the tablet. The case features a multi-position stand that holds the iPad securely in both landscape viewing and typing orientations. Three additional products expand the Kensington PowerBolt™ collection of in-vehicle mobile device chargers with hard-wired USB charge and sync solutions. Kensington’s PowerBolt 1.0 features a hard-wired Lightning to USB connector and 1 Amp of power to charge an iPhone 5, iPod nano 7th generation, or iPod touch 5th generation. The 2.1 hard-wired version is designed to quickly charge iPad 4 or iPad mini but is safe to use on iPhone 5, iPod nano 7th generation or iPod touch 5th generation as it only draws the 1 Amp these devices need and no more.
For the multi iOS device user, Kensington’s PowerBolt™ 4.2 Dual Fast Charge will turn your vehicle’s power outlet into two USB power ports to charge any two lightning devices at once—and do it fast. Whether safely charging two iPads from one auto power outlet or powering your iPod®, iPhone® or iPad® mini (simply use your own Lightning to USB cable for iPod nano, iPod touch or iPhone 5), the device will only deliver the Amps they need.
“There’s a new generation of tablets and smartphones available to our customers today and with that new breed of devices comes a demand for basic accessories that will always keep you connected,” said Peter Sgromo, Global Product Manager for Power at Kensington. “We’ve engineered smart. safe. simple.™ power and protection products that work with up-to-the-minute technology. So no matter what iPad or iPhone generation you use, wherever you go there’s never a need to think twice about how to get the next charge or keep your device looking new.”
