The increased use of tablets among mobile workers presents the need to protect this important investment from theft.

At CAFL we often hear from customers who love their new iPhone case, but find that they are not able to charge their iPhone in a charging dock with the case installed. Many cases are designed to provide precise protection of the iPhone, and as a result may restrict access to the charging port on the bottom of the phone. In addition, some after market chargers feature a thicker charging connector, which when combined with a case that restricts the charging port, are not compatible.
