Costumer Reviews

Package came in a nice small box, fit well and was protected well. Box was easy to open and the contents are easy to remove, no hassle. Included in the box is the dock itself, a mini USB cable, two dock adapters (3G/3Gs, IP4) and some manuals.

The dock is very nice, there are photos I uploaded of the dock from all angles so you all can see it clearly. It is black matte and looks great. It has a decent weight to it and the matte actually extends to the base, resulting in it having some traction so you don't have to worry about it slipping around freely if you happen to just tap it.

Using the dock is very simple. The dock has a mini USB port in the rear, you plug in the USB wire into the dock, then into a USB port on your computer and you're all set. Charges well and syncs just fine. A nice thing about this is that the dock can be connected to a computer for charge and sync or just directly connected to the wall using any charger that has a mini USB port. (ie Blackberry charger or Apple USB Power Adapter + mini USB) I have an iPhone 3Gs so I take the iPhone 3G dock adapter, which of course has the same exact dimensions as the 3Gs, and attach it. Once on, you just put your phone onto the dock and it holds it well in place. I haven't used it with a case yet, however the only case I own is the CapsuleNeo from switcheasy which comes with its own dock attachment.

NOTE I DO NOT RECOMMEND TAKING OUT THE ADAPTER IN ORDER FOR YOUR CASE TO FIT!

Why? Well, the iPhone leans back at an angle and with the case, the phone is even heavier. There's no support on the back of the phone without an adapter so basically the phone just leans back and puts all its weight on the dock connector. The dock connector will bend back damaging the dock AND the iPhone.

Removing the dock attachment is easy enough, there is a slit (which I uploaded a photo to show) which you can just get your nail in there and just pull it up, simple and easy.

Overall, a very well built dock that does what it was meant to do and well. Well worth the $20 spent.

As advertised. Instead of placing my ipod touch on the desk grabbing the sync cable and inserting it in, now I just place it on the charger. It has its on secure space. Peace of mind! The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that I thought it would come with a wall adapter, so you could plug it into a wall socket. It does not. It only comes with a usb sync cable to charge from a computer. I bought it with the idea of placing this cradle on my nightstand.
