WatchStand Charges and Displays Apple Watch

Accessory, ,

Griffin WatchStandGriffin Technology has created WatchStand. It is a new charging dock for Apple Watch that offers an elegant solution for displaying the Apple Watch. WatchStand is available now for $29.99.

WatchStand houses the Apple-provided magnetic charging cable in an angled cradle that keeps it ready to charge at all times. Feed the magnetic charging cable through the center of the post.

After that, you can charge your Apple Watch each day by laying it against the cradle. The magnetic connector gently snaps itself onto the back of the Apple Watch and begins charging.

WatchStand can accommodate both semi-flexible and fully flexible bands. It displays the Apple Watch vertically or horizontally for the perfect view. The weighted base of WatchStand has a home for a phone as well. The raised lip on the front of the dock holds the phone at an angle that makes it easy to view.

WatchStand weighs 18 ounces and is 7.87” x 5.5” x 3.15” in size. It has a non-slip base and no-scratch padding that holds WatchStand in place on a desk or tabletop. Excess cable length can be stored away inside WatchStand’s post.

The video below gives you a good look at the elegant WatchStand. The video says “coming soon” because it was produced before WatchStand became available. WatchStand is available now for $29.99.

ces, iPhone, ,

Griffin OrganizersGriffin Technology will be busy at this year’s CES. One of the new product lines the company is debuting will bring joy to those of us who obsess over keeping cables and connectors tidy. This line provides a variety of solutions designed to organize essential cables for a clutter-free car, home and office workspace.

The line-up consists of four initial products and will grow over the course of 2015. The Guide, Sleeve, Hanger and Clip are simple yet extremely functional products to keep cables organized.

Guide is described as part cable management and part building blocks. It’s designed to allow users to have necessary cables right where they want them. Guide consists of three magnetic pieces in varying shapes that attach onto the steel base to capture and guide cables. The different sizes of the magnetic pieces allow for cables of varying sizes and lengths to be held in place. Guide will be available in a variety of material options in Q2 2015 and retails starting at $29.99.

Sleeve is made of durable strands of braided plastic that create an abrasion-resistant sleeve used for running up to four cables in a tangle-free bundle. Sleeve closes itself around the cables it holds. It will be available February 2015 in 3 length options: 1’, 1.5’ and 2’ and will retail from $7.99 up.

Hanger is designed specifically for in-car use. This device is made from durable and flexible silicone. Hanger weighs about an ounce and is made to easily slide into a car’s air conditioner vent. Hanger features three molded sockets, perfect for holding power and AUX cables when those cables aren’t being used. Hanger will be available in February 2015 and will sell for $4.99.

Hanger isn’t the only item designed especially for the car. Clip is designed to make connecting an iPhone 6 to power and AUX cables as easy as possible. The flexible silicone Clip slides on the end of a Lightning connector charge cable and an AUX audio cable to hold the two together in the precise position to be plugged in simultaneously to the iPhone one-handed. Clip is bundled in Griffin’s Car Connections Pack with a Premium Flat AUX Cable and PowerJolt SE charger for the ultimate in car convenience. The Car Connections Pack will be available for iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus in February 2015. The entire pack will list for $39.99.

Griffin Brings Twenty Bluetooth Digital Amplifier to CES 2015

ces,

Griffin TwentyGriffin Technology will be showing off its new Twenty Digital Bluetooth amplifier at CES 2015. The Griffin Twenty is an elegantly designed amplifier that uses Bluetooth to stream audio from devices like smartphones or tablets. Twenty takes its name from the 20-watt channels it uses to drive non-powered speakers.

Twenty provides crisp, clean audio playback thru its high-end AAC/aptX streaming codec. The device also accepts wired connections to things like computers, tuners, turntables and other audio sources.

Setting up a Twenty is easy. Once you’ve got the amplifier and speakers hooked up, just pair the Twenty to your Bluetooth device and press play. Twenty features a simple one-button Quick Connect feature that makes it easy to connect to previously paired devices.

The Griffin Twenty will work great with any existing sound system. But, if you’re putting a new system together, you can use it with Griffin’s high-performance NHT SuperZero Passive Bookshelf Speakers and the Super 8 Powered Subwoofer that work seamlessly with the Twenty.

The Griffin Twenty is available for $149.99 at the Griffin Store. For a limited time, the company is offering a rebate when Twenty is purchased in conjunction with any NHT SuperZero speaker set.
