Apple iPhone 3G Dock
A Must Have Accessory
Written by MB from Cambridge
Dec 16, 2009
If you love your iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS, then this is a must have accessory for you. A case and this dock are essential for anyone who an iPhone and this dock just does exactly what it says on the tin.
It's nice and small and gives you access to the home button on the iPhone too so you can use it easily while it's plugged in. This is something that is a little bit of a pain on the similar Apple Universal Dock. No real set-up is required. All you have to do is plug the USB cable into the back of the dock and then just sit your iPhone in and away you go! The dock is also just heavy enough to stop it being moved around easily.
Although some people may think £19 is a little pricey, you won't find anything as good elsewhere. And although some think there should be another USB cable included, you really don't need one. Your iPhone comes with one in the box so you can just use that.
Overall a great accessory that is essential for any iPhone owner and will definitely not disappoint!Was this useful?

Does what it's supposed to

If you can get past the blatant overpricing on this item, then it works great. Holds the phone securely when you put it in (with 3 of these docks around the house I haven't experienced any of the "touch it and get disconnected" problems other people report). As others have noted, it doesn't come with a cable. Be sure to buy a cable, too, if you want a cable, too.

Neat but not practical
Written by GP from Springfield

I bought this dock because i needed a charger at work. i figured it would be handy on my desk. i asked the specialist if it came with a cable... after checking with somebody, he said yes it sure does. i then confirmed that i can just hook it in my computer and that's it, he said yes. i got home and there is no cable... i was gonna take it back but i like it so i'm gonna get another cable today.
the only downside is that i have a thin jelly-like case on the iphone and i have to take it off when i charge it in the dock, or else it doesn't fit... oh well6 of 13 people found this useful

Apple iPhone 3G Dock
Signed Sealed and Delivered!

The reason I wanted this dock was to not have to lay the iPhone on the desk when it's charging. This dock makes the iPhone stand up and look awesome when it's docked. You can make calls and watch video and use the iPhone when it's docked and I like that. You do have to be aware that you need to be careful not to knock the iPhone over this only applies to the home button and volume button. The touch screen works perfect. Watching video and listening to audio is a snap.
Apple did a good job with this dock and if your expectations are realistic you will enjoy this iphone dock. Sure you may need to get a second cord as some reviews have pointed out but this is a choice that was made by the reviewer. I happen to already have two cords and I also have a desktop USB port connection so I can unplug the dock and take it with me.
I would recommend this dock to all iPhone users because it is a top notch product that works as like it's supposed to. The dock also makes your desk look less cluttered.17 of 19 people found this useful

Great piece of kit
Written by RI from lockerbie

I wasn't sure whether I liked this dock or not when i seen it on the website, but when it arrived at my house i fell in love with it. It looks beautiful-as do all apple products-and fits the phone perfectly. One thing i really like about it is the 3.5 mill line out on the back. This is great as you can connect it to almost anything to play music. I bought the bose soundock for my iPod video and my iPhone does play music through it, but won't charge which was a bit of a bummer. This dock sorts the problem i had of not being able to play music and charge at the same time.
5 stars.
Well done apple-again!!16 of 21 people found this useful

Awesome product!!!
Written by BT from Seminole

I bought this dock about two months ago. I haven't had any problems using it and think it is an amazing product that is worth the money. Although it doesn't come with a USB cable, when you buy an iPhone you get one. Why would you want more than one USB cable? To charge/sync another iPhone/iPod?? If you have another iPhone or iPod you should have gotten another cable when you bought it. I highly recommend this product to anyone who owns an iPhone 3G or 3GS.

I've owned the first generation universal dock for some years now and when I got my iPhone 3GS 2 days ago, the iPhone doesn't fit nicely as I thought so I bought this dock and am very happy. It's small and works great.

I bought the iPhone 3G S and don't like any case on my phone so I decided to get this. I absolutely love it I have it set up right next to my computer and love how I can play my music on it while on my computer. Don't pass this up!

No cables ..
Written by LA from Hobro
Jun 23, 2009
The product is great .. but two things you should be aware of - first of all, there are no cables in the box (Not for USB or Line Out) - Second, you are not able to control the volume from the phone .. this can only be done on the amplifier, my amplifier is part of the subwoofer, so .. :(
But otherwise a great product - five stars from me !62 of 73 people found this useful

Amazing!
Written by MC from balerno

I don't see why there are all the bad reviews this is an amazing product and so what if it's not included with the iPhone 3G. I don't mind paying a tiny £19 for this amazing product. I think it's an amazing price for how good it is. And I'm so glad that it works with the iPhone 3G S. And I can't wait till the iPhone 3G S is released and to upgrade to it. Well Done Apple!

Perfect dock, why not included in the iPhone box?
Written by HH from Kirkkonummi
Apr 14, 2009
Bought this one from the Apple Store, and yes, it's design is very nice, and it works perfect with my iPhone 8GB 3G, I'm happy to not have to charge my iPhone on the desk, where it can get scratches etc.
As cons I like to mention, that this dock should have been included in the iPhone box, or at least the price could have been a bit cheaper.
A great product anyways!41 of 46 people found this useful

I especially like the sound ports built into this dock. You can listen to music or podcasts in a quiet room without external speakers or amps. Using the iPhone hands free also works well. Well done.

What can say, it holds your iPhone and it looks well docked next to my iMac, don't think it's worth €25 but then its is a Mac product, well made! Had no issues with syncing or charging.

Really good quality, I was surprised at the weight of it! Nice and sturdy and shows off the phone! Just remember that if you have any protective covers, it might not fit while the cover is on.
