Revisioned Tablet Chargers

The 'LaunchPort by Strut' is of Luxurious Design and Ideal Structure

— August 14, 2012 — Tech
The 'LaunchPort' by Strut features an incredibly functional and gorgeous design to charge your iPad. The impressive new technology does not come by cheap, but it offers an entirely new way to charge your iPad while also looking chic and elegant.

The handcrafted wooden cases line up perfect with the wireless pedestal that has "inductive charging circuitry" that charges the iPad through a wireless connection.

The customizable casing not only charges the iPad wirelessly through its connection to the metallic pedestal, it also acts as a protective cover for the security of your precious iPad.

The LaunchPort pedestal allows you to use it as a roundtable and use your iPad from any angle as the "spherical base rotates, tilts and pivots to any desired angle."

At this point in time, the LaunchPad is available for a whopping $1,250 for case and base.
