Ulefone Armor 4 Series Accessories

Ulefone provides a comprehensive set of additional accessories for the Armor Pad 4 Series. One is the Sound Kit - an external speaker crafted to provide high-fidelity sound with 9W max power and 114 dB max loudness. It arrives with dual RGB LED atmosphere lights and an 8-pin connector for seamless audio and video when attached to the tablet. The speaker is big enough and designed in such a way that it serves as a kickstand for the device. The Armor Holster Pro is a multi-purpose carrier for the ASrmor Pad 4 Series. With the back straps, it can turn the tablet into a mobile workstation. The shorter strap allows you to use it as a carrying case. It also has a built-in kickstand feature and a hand strap, while providing additional overall protection. There's a separate 2-in-1 hand strap with kickstand accessory as well. We've received this one together with the tablet. Finally, the Ulefone Armor 4 Series benefits from dock charging support with a dedicated charging station as an optional accessory. It supports dual output and wireless charging with the connection being enabled by the POGO pins. The dock station has dual anti-slip silicone pads and can also serve as a convenient stand.
