The Week in iOS Accessories: Portable power

Power pack!

This week’s roundup of new iOS-related gear offers new ways to power up your iPhone, and even new ways to power up multiple iOS devices at the same time. Power to the people, uh-huh!

Anker

The name of the $12 Anker USB 24W Dual Port Car Charger gives you all the relevant information: Just plug it into your car’s accessory outlet, and you can charge up to two USB-enabled mobile devices at the same time. Apple-device cables are not provided; you’ll have to use the Lightning or 30-pin USB cables that came with your gear.

iHome

The $99 iHome Pro Swivel Notebook is a binder-style keyboard case. The swiveling keyboard is detachable, allowing you to use your iPad either as a laptop or a tablet, and is held in place with high-quality magnets.

Justand

The $99 Justand v2 turns your iPad or iPad mini into a document scanner, positioning the tablet above a book or document in order to capture a clean, detailed image of the page using the iPad’s camera. For an extra $40, you can add an “electronic module” that includes a USB port to power the iPad, as well as a flexible light to better illuminate the book or document.
