Twelve South announces PencilSnap, a $30 Apple Pencil case w/ integrated magnets

This morning Twelve South has taken the wraps off its newest release, the PencilSnap for Apple Pencil. It is made of leather and designed to attach to just about any iPad case with the idea of securing Apple’s easy-to-lose input device. Not to long ago, Apple announced a similar product with the same $29 price tag. Twelve South’s new product takes the idea to another level with a few subtle features.

Twelve South’s latest HiRise dock accommodates Apple Watch

As the noise begins to die down from Monday’s Apple Watch announcement, we’re seeing a number of accessory makers reveal solutions for charging and storing the timepiece. Twelve South has announced its latest HiRise iteration, designed specifically for docking Apple Watch.

Much like previous models from Twelve South, the HiRise for Apple Watch elevates the device to a level that makes all buttons accessible for easier manipulation. It has a built-in cord management solution to keep the MagSafe charger in place, snaking through the aluminum base while keeping it out of sight.

Twelve South makes the best iPhone 6/iPad dock even better by simplifying its setup and adding a gold color option

It’s been just about two months since iPhone 6/Plus were released in the US and there’s still no word from Apple regarding an official dock. And that’s fine, because the best iPhone 6/Plus dock has been available the entire time.

Today, Twelve South is introducing an updated version called the HiRise Deluxe. Its basic design and function remains the same, but Twelve South has updated two aspects that address the only (very minor) qualms we had with the original HiRise.

Now, the Deluxe model doesn’t require any tools for making size adjustments to accommodate nearly any case. Also, instead of having to provide your own charging cable, Twelve South is now including one Lightning and one Micro-USB cable. In addition to black and silver, the Deluxe HiRise will also be available in a gold finish.

The Twelve South HiRise Deluxe is available now for $59.99. The $25 up-charge over the original HiRise is reasonable since it includes a Lightning ($11-19 value) and Micro-USB ($2-3 value) in addition to other design upgrades.

Looking for something a little different? Our iPhone 6/Plus dock roundup has several different options from a range of major brands.

The best iPhone 6 and 6 Plus docks from Twelve South, Belkin, Henge Docks and more

Update (12/17 2:45pm): Amazon Lightning Deal! Belkin Charge and Sync Dock with Lightning Cable for $13.65 Prime shipped (Reg. $25).

(Update 5/19 10:30am): The time has come. Apple has randomly announced a new Lightning dock for iPhone 6/Plus. However, you should still take a look at the numerous third party options (below) that have been on the market for years. Many of these options offer more styling and better value compared to Apple’s dock.

If you were one of over 4 million people who preordered an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus this weekend, then you may have noticed that one of Apple’s most popular accessories for previous gen iPhones is curiously absent from its online store. As of right now, Apple seems to be sitting on the sideline and will not be releasing a dock designed for its newest smartphones.

Docks position your iPhone in a way that makes it easier to keep tabs on incoming notifications, all while helping create a clean workspace by wrangling messy cables.

There are already several iPhone 6 and 6 Plus dock solutions. Here are our favorite docks, stands, mounts, and more:

Twelve South BackPack steel shelf for iMac and Apple displays: $27 shipped (Reg. $35)


Update (9/14 9:50pm): Amazon prices now start at $27.99 Prime shipped. B&H has dropped to $27.27 w/ free shipping.

Amazon via Wade’s Amusement (fulfilled by Amazon) offers the Twelve South BackPack steel shelf for iMac and Apple displays for $27 Prime shipped. You can pay an extra $0.27 and go through Amazon direct. That’s 23% below its regular price of $34.99 and within cents of the best deal we’ve ever seen.

Furthermore, this deal is even more noteworthy because we rarely see any substantial discounts on Twelve South Apple accessories. Also, if you don’t qualify for Prime shipping or reach the $35 Amazon free shipping threshold, then your next best buy would be from B&H for $28.27 with free shipping.

The BackPack is a steel shelf that’s designed to mount to the front of back of an iMac or Apple display. Use it to clean up your workspace by safely stowing an external hard drive, keyboard, or even a Mac Mini.

Rated 3.8 out of 5 stars from Amazon reviewers and during our review we found that:

…the BackPack 2 is an amazing solution for clearing up the technology from your desk.
