RAM Mounts IntelliSkin Hard Case (RAM-GDS-SKIN-SAM89-HC) protects the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active5, Tab Active3 and Tab Active2 and connects them to the RAM GDS docking ecosystem. The hard composite shell carries an integrated GDS connector with flat, ruggedized pogo pads that take over from the tablet's USB-C port – they are easy to clean and resist wear from frequent docking. According to RAM, charging through the pogo pads is up to 30% faster than through a traditional USB-C connection. An external USB-C port lets you charge the tablet when no GDS dock is available. With the sleeve on, the tablet drops straight into RAM GDS Tough-Docks, GDS desktop docks and – with a Uni-Conn adapter – GDS Uni-Conn docks.
