    Love it but please please make a new one to work with the Smart Cover

    I love it but I have Smart Cover problems. I'm totally not going to rate it one star because that's overdoing it. It's not that big of a deal. But to others, it is, and that's why those idiots rate it one star. Moving on, the iPad fits perfectly and is easy to put on the dock and take it off. I didn't realize that this had a speaker output so you can plug in speakers to the dock and listen to music. Now I'm going to buy speakers for this.

    Just got my Ipad2 and the dock is a real necessity. Small, sleek and hopefully does the job.

    Functional

    • Written by from Nundah

    This dock works exactly as expected and its perfectly fine.

    It's nicely weighty, has great minimalist design ... and it's a dock for an iPad.

    The design is good, works perfectly, having to take the Smart Cover off isn't exactly a big deal, it's not going to harm you, so not really worth rating one star because of that, I would give it 5 star though if you could leave it on, but I think the other reviewers have been really harsh.

    P.S think one like this should be available for the iPod Touch.

    We love this dock, so much we just bought another one. My husband hooks it up to his speakers out in the shop & just streams all day while he's creating. The one we just bought is going to be hooked up to the Bose so we can stream away in the house! The only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is that you do have to jiggle it sometimes to get it to connect just right. Don't let the negative reviews bother you. You just have to be smarter than the device. Can't fix "stupid"

    Great for Nightstand

    Perfect if you use your iPad for listening to books, or use it for an alarm/clock. You can connect speakers to the stand. For what it does, the price is fair in my opinion.

    Design was meant to be clean and free from accessories

    I actually knew what I was getting into when purchasing this doc. I actually wanted it to be simple and not bulky. Pro's, its cheap plus you can connect external speakers or Have the HDMI kit hooked up with your iPad. I managed to get my SmartCover to snap on and close...so I really don't know why the bash? You have to first place iPad with out the cover the snap on the cover and let it rest over the dock seems to work fine for me.

    If there was a con it would probably be that you can't do Landscape, if so it would have been five stars.

    Great Stand.

    This stand has so far not toppled or slid across my desk once. I also find the viewing angle to be very good and is a big improvement from the last iPad stand. However, you cannot open and close a smartcover while the iPad is docked.

    This works, but it seems like this is a personal preference item, because my friends hates it so he gave to me and I love it. I expected this item to have mixed reviews, I can't blame them. This item depends on the person, how the person uses the iPad on the dock. For me its fine, but apparently not for some others.

    that the space to set the iPad into was just a little wider. I have a thin protective back cover on my iPad which keeps it from fitting in the doc. The cover is a bit of a pain to take off and on. If you plan to use a cover that you don't want to remove, you may want to skip the dock.

    It does the job & does it good. While I don't expect Apple to make a dock that can function with every case. I do expect more from Apple.

    The iPad 2 was designed along with the smart cover. If Apple designed the two to go together, you would think the dock would allowed room for the smart cover. Instead you have to either remove it or open it before docking.

    Apple, we have come to expect "it just works" unfortunately this is not the case with 2 accessories designed by Apple, specifically for 1 device designed by you. Your better than this.

    I like it because I can use it at my desk with out having to look down. What I don't like is that you can not use a case with it and it is a pain to have to put on the case and then take the case off. But other then that I like the dock

    does exactly what it promises, with economy of scale

    • Written by from Birmingham

    This delivers exactly what the box promises. A neat solution where one has (e.g.) one's mbp on one's not very large desk and wants to multi-task with the iPad 2 as screen 2. The iPad 2 fits in very snugly, with no sideways or backwards wiggle (i.e. crucial stability is delivered). The connection is easily lined up (i.e. the home button goes bang in the middle) and the iPad slots in effortlessly. The base is slightly rubberised so on one's slidey desk surface it grips perfectly. It takes minimal space to do a professional job. The only reason 4 not 5 stars is that a second port for sync-ing whilst charging would deliver the absolutely perfect configuration. Personally, I think the smart cover's big selling point is its extreme ease of on/off-ness, so I can see no reason to be woebegone to 'have' to take it off to use the dock!

    very good product and a nice design however can be hard to find the 30 pin connecter when holding only the ipad and it is a but pricy for what you get would recommend to most but would suggest you ask to see/hold it in an apple store before you bye it.

    Looks great with white iPad

    I like placing the iPad in the charger and have the Weather HD app on screen. Looks very nice. I do think that it should have come with a power cord, but apart from thata nice product indeed.
    As for the smart cover, roll it back and use a nice screen saver.
