    Dock Vs Case

    • Written by from Mountain View

    I liked the dock for my ipad at first - I actually bought 2 of them: one for home and the other for work, then I received my back ordered case (it took longer to get here than the ipad). The case is better if you like landscape instead of portrait view for the dock. Removing the case to use the dock is not worth the effort. Other than that I LOVE MY IPAD

    Great!!!!

    • Written by from Bronx

    This product is practical. Charging is a breeze when the Ipad is docked. If you have the Belkin cover on it, take it off first; otherwise the Ipad won't fit in the dock. 5stars!!!!!

    • Written by from SAINT JOSEPH

    A real hassle to remove case every the single time I use this. Waste of money.

    NOT COMPATIBLE WITH IPAD CASE!

    • Written by from Oakdale

    Given Apple's great engineering design team and their slick products, I was disappointed to find out that once I was put the $40 iPad case on the iPad it obstructed the fit to the $30 dock. I called Apple Support and was told that the case needed to be removed to use the dock. Due to the tight fit of the case, this is not practical, therefore I returned the dock to Best Buy just a few minutes ago. Interestingly, I saw they (Best Buy) had several returned docks (discounted due to opened box) on their rack.

    Apple Engineering can do much better than this and I suspect they will resolve the problem by revising the opening on the iPad case soon.

    Not bad at all

    • Written by from Melbourne

    Ok, I don't know if it works with the case on yet but I'm telling you it works very well without the case. In fact I bought 2. One for home and one for the office. Sure $29 is a bit pricy but I think worth it.

    Cant sync with the doc

    • Written by from Roseville

    I can only intermittently sync my iPad while connected to doc. If I use just iPod cable it is fine. I am OK with the rest of the design. It is stable enough without being to big. Iphone fits in the dock as well which is a bonus.

    have to remove the case

    • Written by from Flint

    It is easier to leave the ipad lying on the desk in it's case. You would think Apple would make the case compatible with the dock, but this is not the case. Love the case, but why would you ever want to remove the ipad from the case to dock it? I do not understand. You should fix the dock to make it compatible with the ipad in the case, or refund our money. It does not do what I bought it to do.

    Very limited use...

    • Written by from Cherry Hill

    As everyone notes, this dock will not work with an iPad in a case. There are other problems: It's too light so you'd have to duct tape it to your desk in order for the iPad not to pick it up each time you want to undock it. It's not super easy to mate the dock with the iPad -- you have to fumble a bit to get the angle and position correct, and why the heck didn't they make it slightly recessed in the back so I could use it as an iPhone dock since it's rendered useless since it won't work with iPads in cases.

    Not compatible once you start using a cover

    • Written by from Thomasville

    Doesn't make any sense to me why Apple designers would not have accounted for the width of the iPad case. And it makes no sense to keep taking the case off.

    Unusable with cover. A waste of money!!!!!!!!!!

    • Written by from Burlington

    Totally disappointed in the dock. By the time I received my ipad. 14 days were up and I couldn't return it. Not a good way to do business.

    Bad design

    • Written by from Brampton

    Since I purchased this dock, I tried it once and never used it again. Apple came up short on this one as I cannot take my iPad out of the case every time I need to place it. I have a Vaja and an Apple case, and Apple needs to redesign it so that the dock could carry it even with the case on, especially the Vaja case which is a bit thicker than the Apple case. I don't think I throw away money to Apple because I think they should be selling these iPads for at least $100.00 more. I am having so much fun with my new iPad, it has already paid back for itself.

    Expensive Incompatible with Case

    • Written by from Downey

    This is an expensive piece of plastic that only holds the iPad in the profile position. It is incompatible with the case. You have to remove the iPad from the case in order to dock it, and that is not easy to do. You're better off buying something else.

    also for iPod Touch

    • Written by from den helder

    The dock is only soso for the iPad but when you use only usb bus power you can also use it as a stand for your iPod Touch. It will charge that one too.

    Wholly average product.

    • Written by from Fort Collins

    The need to dock the ipad vertically next to my monitor was a substantial one, so I bought this dock. It's FINE. It does what it's supposed to, however, it's not heavy enough (or the connector is too tight). When you remove pad from the dock, you inevitably need to hold it down, or you'll lift the dock off the table. Ah well. Irritating, but not a huge flaw. It does what it's supposed to.

    DOES NOT WORK WITH iPAD COVER

    • Written by from OAKLAND

    pain in the rear to take off the OEM cover and place the ipad on this dock. Apple should come out with OEM products that facilitate the use of the cover/case with a docking station. Guess, I will continue to use the charger separately.

    Waste of money if you buy the case

    • Written by from Danville

    This dock does not work with the case that Apple sells for the ipad as you cannot dock the ipad with the case on. Taking the ipad out of the case for docking is just a pain. This is another useless accessory along with the VGA adapter.

    As stated before

    • Written by from Tucson

    Just sharing that, as stated before, won't work at all with cover. I really really tried! They need to either make a cover that supports the dock or make a dock that supports the cover. Tried without cover and ipad about falls out. Can't bump desk. Was going to give 1 star, but gave two stars because the thing at least looks pretty.
