Why is Griffin using Indiegogo? We think crowdfunding is the shortest, straightest line between your need for a well-thought-out, design-sensitive charging hub, and our idea for Cove.
Will this charge any USB device? Yes, Cove will charge any device that charges via normal USB, from your iPhone to your GoPro. 5 USB ports deliver up to 12 watts each to attached devices (60 W total output).
What’s Cove made of? The Cove enclosure will be made of high-impact, scratch-resistant polycarbonate for durability. Cove can be wiped down with mild soap and water. Other materials and finishes are still being explored.
What’s the warranty?? We’re offering a 2-year warranty on Cove, beginning from the time it ships.
When will it ship?? We hope to begin shipping units in late 2015, and will be shipping Indiegogo orders first!
