Finally, Something for Android Tablets!
I purchased two other similar devices only to learn the fine print said they were only intended for Apple products. Both were returned for 'inaccurate website description'. Politics aside, I prefer Android devices.Obviously when the Plugable brand hub+stand arrived, I skeptical. Even after seeing a Samsung Android table in the device on their company website, I proceeded with caution.My fears were unfounded. This device (never really sure with to call it) works fantastic. It is a solid mounting stand for the 10" tablet. I did purchase a USB C cable with a 90 degree connector for the side of the tablet (used in landscape mode). Space on my desk is at a premium and I have limited room for connectors. My tablet is charged and ready for adventure. I use the 3.5mm audio out for streaming music while in the office. That built in DAC function is worth the price alone.I'm a few weeks in and have no complaints. I'd say give this a shot for an Android device and you should be satisfied with your purchase.

Nicely designed dock
The dock itself works great, provides all the necessary connectivity and can help transform a tablet into a relatively competent desktop top experience. Molage will vary depending on tablet, laptop, etc as each OS may or may not be well suited for mouse and keyboard, but for its function and design this dock is pretty slick.

Perfect for my iPad docking needs
I use my iPad Pro (12.9) as a second monitor and also a remote device for Garage Band and Logic. I also keep it in a Logitech Combo Touch case. I was very pleasantly surprised to see that the docking station would hold my iPad securely even with the Logitech case installed. The docking station is solid - not cheap plastic and works exactly as advertised. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it doesn't have additional USB C or Thunderbolt ports. Regardless, I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a quality iPad stand and docking station.

Almost perfect! (Initially, but then died)
Careful with thicker cases. They will not fit firmly in the holders with the device riding on top of them. As a result, the device can easily slip off and fall on the host cable and damage it after several times. Some kind of strap to secure secure the device to the stand would help. Otherwise it's great unit. Highly recommended.*** Update 03/03/2025 ***Unfortunately the unit didn't last 3 months. About 1.5 months in I noticed it no longer charged at 'fast charge' only standard. Today I plugged in my tablet and nothing. Checked all cables and even tried the unit on a laptop. Nothing. Looked promising initially.

Great product.
I use this with an iPad Pro 13 M4. It basically turns my iPad Pro into a laptop; I use it with a keyboard and mouse. The USB and SD ports, power port, and footprint make the workstation east to use and transport. I can travel with it in a small backpack or in a suitcase. Excellent product!!

This is legit! Finally a Android Phone-PC exists
As a long-time Samsung phone owner, I remember when Samsung offered a physical Dex dock designed to connect your phone to monitor, keyboard and mouse to form a PC.Samsung abandoned that idea but, for me, the merit of this made more sense as phones rival PCs in power and performance. Why have a second laptop or PC for light work when you can use your phone for both? The portability of a phone and the ease of a computer from the same device? Sigh....to imagine such a world.I saw a tech article mentioning THIS docking stand and I knew the universe was sending me a sign. I leaped on it and lo' it works exactly how I wished. I have a Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse and my HD monitor connected. The USB-C cable smoothly syncs my phone. Android recognized the peripherals and when I unplug from the cradle it doesn't lose anything. The stand is sturdy and works with my Lenovo USB 65W plug.Truly the future is now!

Solid construction but inconsistent electronics
The unit feels nice to the touch very strong and sturdy. Enough to securely hold my 12" iPad pro but the charging current is always different for one, and for two the charging speed is extremely slow. I used battery charging apps on two ipads and two samsung phones and ran diagnostics to confirm current flow and charge times. I reached out to the company and explained all this, they were very pleasent and professional and sent me a new unit in 2 days that they said they had tested themselves to make sure the speks were as advertised but the new unit was actually worse then the first one so I sent the new one back. Overall I'm not primarily using it to charge the battery of my iPad so the product works OK for me. I'm also not using it to connect to a monitor or connect to keyboards or mouse and I haven't tested the memory card functionality but the USB ports seem to work fine and charge my headphones, esrbuds ect. I really just bought it to hold the iPad and charge it and also use the 2 usb ports for charging guitar accessories to clean up my desk from so many charging cables which it does. But for the 100w cable I use to power this hub I would expect very fast charging of phones and iPad.

Not compatible with my setup, but service deserves 5 stars
I have a Motorola Moto Edge+ 2023 and an Asus ultrawide gaming monitor. I wanted to be able to dock my phone and use it in Motorola's desktop mode. This dock looked the best designed out of all the docks I looked at, so I ordered it. Unfortunately, the display output from my phone was not working properly. I contacted their support via email and got good help very quickly. They sent me a new, tested unit promptly and helped me do some testing and troubleshooting to figure out what the problem was. In the end, there turned out to be a compatibility issue with my phone and the monitor, so there wasn't anything they could do about it, but they refunded my purchase without any hassle. The dock is very well built and I would love to use it if it was compatible with my setup. If you have any issues with yours, I can almost guarantee that Pluggable will be very helpful to you.
