Geekscape Tech Review: The Gravitas from Henge Docks

We’ve talked about Henge Docks before, like when we reviewed the Clique. The Gravitas is a great dock for an iPhone or iPad.

How Does the Gravitas Rate as an iPhone/iPad Dock?

It is pretty heavy, so it can sit on your desk like a paperweight or something. I’m told that it is made of some zinc alloy that is more dense than aluminum, so it feels quite heavy. In fact, it is so heavy, that if you dropped it on your foot, you would say: “ouch”. It’s about 2.5 pounds, if you want the exact amount.

If you haven’t realized it yet, there is a lightning port so you can dock the iPhone or iPad there. There are all kinds of inserts so you can put in all kinds of iPhones, and I don’t have enough iPhones from other generations to try this out.

How Does the Gravitas Rate as a Recharger?

So, since this is a dock, can you use it for recharging? Uh, yes, that is what a dock is! The coolest part is you can use the included double USB cord so you can sync your iPad or iPhone to your computer.

I don’t know if you can see this in the picture, but there is some inserts for all kinds of iPhones, and the iPad is made so it is really….wide.

By the way, the Gravitas has a built-in speaker, and it is pretty great if you want some extra sound.

In short, I believe that the Gravitas is something that really needs to be owned by everyone with an iPhone or iPad. You should be able to purchase it on the hengedocks.com for $69.
