PREMIUM                                                                                                                     You no longer have to live with that ugly wobbly good for nothing dock. Inspired by Scandinavian design culture, the LIL KIKR collection will bring stability, functionality, and style back into your life.

 LIL KIKR Charging Dock Shown Below

LIL KIKR

I strived to imbue a minimal purity through clean lines, and real materials such as aircraft grade aluminum and stainless steel.  Both premium docks are  designed to visually integrate with the Apple family of products.   

PRECISION CUT AND FIT
Over 10 months and several thousands of dollars have been spent refining the weight, balance, and fit of every part.  The unexpected mass and stability are a testament to premium materials and design that went into each LIL KIKR. 
FIT GUIDE
The LIL KIKR+ is about versitility and is our one charger fits many device. The LIL KIKR is for the design purists out there fitting the iPhone 4 and 4S like a glove!
 
 
 

DEVELOPMENT My favorite part of the process. Each dock went through several iterations before the fit, finish, and performance was perfect.
