The Kensington Charge & Sync Tablet Cabinet is an incredible option for the family that has children with tablets, businesses that send people into the field with tablets, and schools that use tablets in class. The cabinet has many little attributes that make it great, but it might have drawbacks depending on what you need.
The Body
The black body on this cabinet is easy to fit into an office environment and has a tray for up to ten tablets. You can stack three of these cabinets on top of each other, and that allows you to store up to 30 tablets while charging them.
The Door
The door retracts into the body, and it pulls out to close completely. There is a lock that you can use with a master key and a set of individual keys for all the people that use tablets in the space. The door folds out of the way for easy use, and the door does not swing far out into other things that sit around the cabinet.
The Charging Hubs
Every tray in the cabinet can be pulled out, and it has a tiny USB charging port right next to it. The people who are charging their devices can plug in the charger, tuck in the cable, and push the tray into the body. They can close and lock the cabinet instantly, and they will come back to a tablet that is fully charged.
The Cooling Fan
The internal cooling fan prevents the tablets from overheating while they are charging, and you can be certain that none of the tablets will be damaged while charging. Cooling is very important if you are trying to maintain your devices, and the cooling fan runs on very little power when plugged into the wall. There is a power switch on the back of the device that allows you to turn the fan on and off if you ever need to.
The Security Bolt
There is a security bolt on the back of the cabinet that you can use to lock it down to any desk or table. This small feature prevents theft of the whole cabinet, and it prevents someone from moving the cabinet in order to open it or disassemble it.
Works For All Tablets
You could put iPads, Samsung tablets, Surface tablets, and Kindle tablets in the box. It has enough width and length to accommodate any device you have, and you might want to pile in your phone if you are trying to charge both.
Tamper-Resistant
The cabinet is made in a tamper-resistant style, and it will hold up to the wear and tear that occurs when you have people using it every day.
