Works like a charm ..... but

Never ben a fan of the "kitchen aplliance white" from Apple - all my gear is either black or brushed aluminium - so I am kind of looking for the black iPhone 3G Universal Dock Adapter.

Great

okay look this adapter is not meant to fit your iphone with a case on it if you have one on, your going to have to take it off (the phone probably looks better with it off anyway) it is a very good thing to have because if you have a dock you dont want your phone just sitting back with nothing to back it because that will damage the connector

Too tight

Written by LW from Singapore

It is a tight fit putting the iphone onto to dock. And each time I dock the iphone, I have to remove the protective cover (I bought the Incase Protecter). Surely, I think the design could be improved right?

Here's the complete story

OK, after reading all these reviews I was thouroughly confused so here is the story. I purchased this adapter and used it with the Apple universal docking station.

This adapter works very well with the Universal Docking Station. It is not a tight fit. It is a perfect fit.

The old Docking station has an adapter for the original iphone but not for the 3G iphone. That's why you need this one. If you get the original docking station, you can still use it with no adapter, but you would risk damaging the connection if you were to move the phone beyond a certain point.

The old docking station comes with a big hole and about 6 adapters in the kit. Unfortunately, none work for the 3G. The new Docking station will have this adapter included in the kit.

I ordered the new Universal Docking station, but they mistakenly sent me the old one. When I complained, they sent me this adapter and I've had no other problems.

So go ahead and purchase either the old docking station with this adapter or the new one without. It will work fine.

Very Tight

These must be very inconsistently sized. I read in one review that his/her dock is loose. Mine is so tight my phone literally jumps out of the stand. This is a piece of plastic and they charge us 49 bucks! A little more quality would be nice.

Does what it should do....

Am pretty sure the reason they put three in is in case you have more than one dock. It saves people buying more than one if they have a dock connected to the computer, one for charging etc. Also agree that although it should have been included, the iPhone is a lot cheaper now than it was so I really don't mind paying the extra for it.

My back hurts, so support

Written by NC from Fremont

yeah my only complaint is this, lower in front, Higher in back.

I did both these mods myself...

The iPhone's one and only button is somewhat of an innconvience to use in the dock, troughing out the front and another 1.5" inches higher in teh back for more support than the sync plug provides.

Other than that love the remote, clean, simple, works for all my ipod/phones.

Bought for my Bose to play music from iPhone

Written by SU from SAN PEDRO

I bought this so I could play music from my iPhone 3g on my Bose. The first thing I noticed was that the adapter does not quite fit in the Bose dock. It is a bit loose. I turned it this way and that, but it still seemed like it was not made for the Bose dock.
Next, I had to take off my Flick case to get my iPhone 3g to "sort of" fit into the dock adapter. Unlike iPods, the iPhone does not snap in at all.
I had read reviews that the phone was not set up to charge with the Bose like the iPod, so I was not surprised when I got a message on my phone saying that it would not charge. I was surprised when the message said it was not compatible with the device. I thought that meant it would not work. However, I tried it and it does play music from the Bose speaker. I'm still not sure about the sound quality.
Bottom line: Awkward/loose fit in the Bose dock, awkward fit on the iPhone, plays music from my Bose. I think it could use improvements. Also, I'm not sure what to do with the other two adapters...
