The EpicDock is designed to be compatible with most smartphones on the market, including [iPhones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desktop-wireless-charger), Android, Windows and other devices. A flexible, detachable silicone platform makes it easy to fit phones of different sizes into the dock, as long as they aren’t more than 3” wide and 0.75” deep.

The EpicDock has an aluminum base fitted with micro suction pads that make it easier to secure and undock devices.
A small hex key is used to secure the charging cable to the dock. The EpicDock comes in six different finishes, ranging from Cherry & Black to Maple & Silver.

The makers of the EpicDock smartphone-charging dock are operating a [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acestand-2) campaign to try and fund the product.
