Slick Computer-Connected Chargers

The OCDock Mini Sticks Onto an iMac Stand for Seamless Tidiness

— October 3, 2013 — Tech
Chances are you have enough clutter on your work surface without counting your numerous electronic contraptions. The OCDock Mini makes life at your desk a little easier, as a sleek smartphone accessory that fits in neatly and nearly undetected.

Like the full-sized OCDock, this one comes with a residue-free reusable adhesive that enables you to fix the compact charging station onto the foot of your computer stand. Made from aluminum material, the device looks like an extension of your iMac.

You might wonder, though, how the OCDesk gadget gets its power. The trick is in its paper-thin iPhone cable. You can run it under your computer and out the back to be plugged in. The OCDock Mini is really an awesome technological illusion.
