The price is around 35,00 Euro. That is the function of a stand of course, already a fierce price. Here you pay a large part of the sum for the idea. But also in the selection of materials Twelve South has not saved. Except for the inclusion of Lightning cables and the cover of the rear support all parts of the HiRise are made of aluminum.
The company Twelve South has focused with its range of accessories complete the equipment of manufacturer Apple. This one puts on the design and quality of the products offered in the products special focus. These range from greeting and note cards via Stands and Mounts up to the subwoofer for the iMac. Included with the HiRise belong next to the stand also 3 different adapters and the right tool for the installation of accessories.
Packed is the product of a high quality and robust cardboard. A special charging cable is not included with the product. Here the original Lightning cable of each device to be used. A printed Setup Guide and various stickers with the logo of the manufacturer complete the delivery.
Clear advantage of HiRise of Twelve South is the very good flexibility of use. Under either of these pocket or which case the device is protected, the HiRise can be individually adjusted to the needs of the product from Apple. On the one hand there are the accessories in a variety of shooting for the Lightning cable that brings the plug of the charging cable in three different heights.
Next, the rear support two slots at different distances to the charging station can be positioned. The stand can be adjusted to fit to the device using a protective sheath.
The installation is relatively quick and easy with a little sleight of hand. The complete, we stand with four M4 screws screwed. The lightning cable is laid on a groove on the underside of the base plate to the outside. The complete shaft we closed at the end of the assembly with a lid. In the even the supplied tool finds a place. Who has not experienced the problem ?! You want to change something in the settings of the stand or tighten the screw and does not find the key! This problem is solved here perfectly in the example.
The iPhone 5s fits with various cases and cases well into the stand. Nothing is loose, the unit is installed securely in the seat. I tested the go with an iPad Air on the HiRise. This has, however, created a little shaky because of the relatively small footprint. Therefore, the iPad mini is probably the greatest feeling, what you should charge the HiRise.
With practice, the device can be seen even with one hand from the stand. Especially in conjunction with a Mac or MacBook makes the silver HiRise Desktop Stand Twelve South on the table a shapely figure. Are there scratches on the device? Here makes a bit of practice to master. By Lighning socket on the device can be found quickly to plug the charging cable and see the even without the process itself. The rear part of the stand, which serves only as a prop, also leaves no trace on the device. All processing was with my copy also without flaws.
My Conclusion:
The HiRise desktop stand Manufacturer Twelve South is well made, leaving in its optic impression of high quality. Who wants mini stylish and setting up shop here his Apple iPhone 5 or iPad, which finds the perfect accessory here. If the HiRise recommended? Yes, all consumers, where the purchase price of 35 euro does not appear to be high.
If there is a criticism, it is the price of safety. 35 loops for a piece of silver-colored metal piece is quite a chunk of money. Otherwise the HiRise shows very tasteful and classy on your desk. Of course, in the hallway, in the kitchen or where else you would like to load its devices. For me there for quality, workmanship and use a strong buy recommendation!
