You need the Car Cradle USB-C if...
- you own an aiShell 8, aiShell 10.9, aiShell 11 / 11 Air / 11 Pro or aiShell 12 waterproof case for iPad (see compatibility chart)
- you have a leisure or professional activity that requires you to use your iPad in harsh environments (humidity, dust, shocks, risk of falls, etc.). for example: sailing, water sports, outdoor activities (construction sites, industrial vehicles, agriculture, etc.)
- you need a solution that allows you to attach your iPad and recharge it at the same time, whatever the weather
General description
This item consists of two separate components:
- a charging connector (USB-C Car Cradle Connector) that allows the iPad's charging contacts to be offset to the outside of the waterproof case
- a plastic cradle to secure the waterproof case, preventing it from falling. This cradle integrates an electrical input via a reinforced cable, to be plugged into a suitable socket (USB-C socket - see this model, for example)
Car Cradle connector features
The Car Cradle connector is a plastic part that clips onto the base of the aiShell waterproof case, at the USB-C charging port.
It's screwless, and simply pushed in, ensuring that its two side tabs fit snugly under the waterproof case's hinge. To release, simply press down on these tabs and pull gently.
This end cap contains a USB-C plug that plugs into the iPad's connector, and 3 gold-plated contacts to offset the electrical contacts to the outside of the case.
The USB-C connector makes full use of the charging power of this connector standard, ensuring fast charging of the iPad and efficient charge retention (provided you have a powerful enough USB-C source, like our semi-sealed USB/USB-C plug)
Car Cradle features
The Car Cradle is the part that secures the casing. Made of black, UV-resistant plastic, it enables instant,one-handed attachment/detachment of the aiShell.
It can be used in either landscape or portrait mode. The iPad is held securely at both ends, and a spring-loaded tab makes it easy to release.
The Car Cradle has a female connector with gold contacts for cable entry, and large holes prevent water stagnation. Regular rinsing with clean water is recommended, however.
The charging cable is reinforced and firmly attached to the bracket. At its free end, it features a waterproof USB-C connector.
