RAM Mounts GDS Tab-Conn for OtterBox Defender Cases, Rear Pogo Pads (RAM-GDS-TABC-OTD1B) is a low-profile, self-adhesive adapter that brings IntelliSkin features to tablets in OtterBox Defender cases. It protects the USB-C port behind an integrated pogo-pin connection and opens up the GDS ecosystem – vehicle docks, desktop and kiosk docks, mass charging and ergonomic accessories – while keeping the case you already use. Flat, ruggedised rear pogo pads charge and sync the tablet in GDS Powered Uni-Conn docks – they are built for repeated docking, collect less dirt and are easy to clean. An external USB-C 2.0 port still allows charging with a standard cable when no dock is available.

💡 To get started, you might also consider a GDS Powered Uni-Conn dock, for example the Powered Snap-In Dock with USB-C or the 7" pedestal dock, and the breakaway shoulder strap for carrying the tablet on the go.
