Bluelounge Sanctuary4

I blogged about the Apple OEM 15W 4-USB Desktop charger here. Although a good product to have around the house, it presents a messy problem. USB Cables are all over the place. From the photo below, I've used only 2 ports and it is already an eyesore. 


Cables, cables, all over.

I bought the Bluelouge Santuary4 to replace the Apple 4 USB Port cable messy problem from Omigo. The normal price for the Santuary4 is SGD139 but there is a 20% off. So the final price is SGD111.20 which is a good deal. Because it is a local website, I ordered on the 17th Nov 2014 and it arrived the next day.

Here are the unboxing photos.

Box: Front


Box: Back


Box: Back with details.


To charge multiple devices simultaneously. 4th version?


Box: Side. There is a stand for iPad
charging.


The item itself. The top panel is covered with a soft material to
protect the mobile devices.


The plug with additional adaptors.


It comes with a complimentary Micro USB cable. Nice!!


A short cable, just nice.




The charging unit is below the panel.



Cables connected. The panel goes on top...


..mobile devices go on top. Cables hidden.

I do not know why Bluelounge labeled this as the 4th version / generation Sanctuary. There was only one previous Sanctuary.


The Sanctuary Version 1.

Bluelounge provided dedicated charging cable for the Sanctuary Version 1. There are a couple of redundant cables here.

Charging cable.


And also, there was the Refresh


Charging cables are less but still dedicated.





But it seems a bit cramped?


So I can see the Sanctuary4 is a combination of both the 1st Sanctuary and the Refresh. They have done away with the dedicated cable and provided a bit more space, including catering for tablets by provided a back stand. Overall, a good product from Bluelounge with a lot of consideration given for their users.
