If you've ever walked into the [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-trout) store and fell in love with the displays used for the tablets, then you're in luck because the iPad 2 Display Dock looks just like the ones used in store; except better.

With the iPad 2 Display Dock, you can have your very own highly stylized display. The item is designed by New PC Gadgets who designed it out of high-quality, clear acrylic for that luscious, translucent aesthetic. To top it off, there's also a dock for your [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/line-linestand) or [iPod](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinypod-1) in case you feel like boosting the batteries with a bit of style. The only problem is that it's angled in one position only, which means it's best used when standing up.
