RAM Mounts GDS Tab-Conn for Tablets Without Case, D-Shape Pogo Pads (RAM-GDS-TABC-B1D) is a low-profile, self-adhesive adapter that brings IntelliSkin features to tablets used without a case. It protects the USB-C port behind an integrated pogo-pin connection and opens up the GDS ecosystem – vehicle docks, desktop and kiosk docks, mass charging and ergonomic accessories – without buying new cases or devices. Bottom D-Shape pogo contacts charge and sync the tablet in GDS Uni-Conn docks and carry data at up to USB 3.1 (5 Gbps); the flat, ruggedised pads collect less dirt and are easy to clean. An external USB-C 2.0 port still allows charging with a standard cable when no dock is available.
