Features

Charge and sync your iPad with the iPad Dock. Your iPad sits upright in the dock as it syncs or charges, so it’s perfect for a desk or worktop. It features a convenient audio line-out port that connects to powered speakers. And it supports other iPad accessories, such as the iPad Dock Connector to VGA Cable and iPad Camera Connection Kit. You can even use it as a picture frame while it’s charging.

Here are some ways you can use the iPad Dock:

  • Connect the dock to your computer with the USB cable included with your iPad to sync iPad and charge its battery.
  • Connect the dock to a power point using the iPad 10W USB Power Adaptor (included with your iPad) to charge the iPad battery.
  • Use the dock to hold your iPad at the perfect angle to compose email and notes using a Bluetooth keyboard or to watch your favourite videos or photo slideshows.
  • Connect the dock to a TV or video projector using a compatible cable such as the iPad Dock Connector to VGA Adaptor or the Apple Component or Composite AV Cable.*
  • Connect the dock to a stereo or speakers using an AV cable or a stereo audio cable to play music from the iPad.*

    Another disappointing iPad accessory.

    • Written by from Draper

    Pros/Cons:

    1. Your iPad will be wobbly left and right when sitting in this dock and you'll constantly wonder whether you have a firm connection. The connector itself seems pretty fragile and it's just a matter of time before I bump it hard enough to snap the connector off.

    2. Like the Keyboard Dock, you have to remove your iPad from any case. That is a major pain.

    3. The angle is more upright than the Keyboard Dock, which is better for nightstand placement if you want to watch movies on your iPad.

    4. The rubber base is not grippy enough. Every time I push the iPad's "Home" button, the whole assembly slides across my desk or nightstand. The Keyboard Dock is better in this regard, because it's heavier.

    5. You can't use your iPad in landscape orientation. This alone is a deal breaker.

    A proper dock design would allow A) placement of the iPad in or out of its case, B) portrait or landscape orientation with the connector on a cable or in some kind of rotating assembly, C) adjustable viewing angles. In other words, a flexible stand would be much more useful than a fixed dock, in practice.     …More

    Worthless!

    • Written by from Arcadia

    Save your money on this one. Apple dropped the ball on this dock (and their case). For these two items not to work together is criminal. Or maybe smart business. You buy the iPad, case and dock. You cannot charge/dock while in the case so you remove. Dock is flimsy enough that you knock dock and iPad off table. Since it is user error, buy new iPad. Is this how they will reach a million units sold this year?

    Seriously though, wait as I am sure there are a multitude of companies working on compatible dock and case.     …More

    Pointless if you use a case

    • Written by from Tampa

    Thought that Apple of all "designers" would have thought that those of us who use cases might like to dock our iPads as well - instead of making the support bar have enough room for even the Apple designed case or adjustable so that any case (or an iPhone even) could be used on this dock made it an immediate return and exchange for a spare power adapter. …More

    Headphone jack failure

    • Written by from Dixon

    I have loved using this dock for the past year or so. I often have it at my desk plugged into some speakers so I can listen to the music on my iPad. However, the headphone jack in the rear recently failed so that sound only comes out for one channel. With no moving parts and pretty solid construction (with no way to get in there to attempt a repair), it seems like this shouldn't happen. I'm relegated to using the jack at the top of my iPad, which works, but looks lame. …More

    very very disappointed

    • Written by from Melbourne

    This docker and every charger i have bought for my ipad and iphone has worked for about 1 to 3 weeks and then never again. this ipad docker has not charged my ipad since the day i bought it. ive bought 4 chargers and usb leads for my iphone and ipad in less than 6 months as they never continue to work for long. i have not been able to use them even to sync my iphone and ipad to my computer or laptop to sync with itunes. Itunes keeps telling me it cannot read either off my products. I am so disappointed at the amount of money ive spent on chargers and dockers for my iphone and ipad in less than two years i will not recommend for anyone to purchase them and i will now buy my next phone and tablet from samsung as they are so much more reliable. I also got the docker for my phone that also doesnt work and i would very much like to send them back and get my money back my chrgers also dont work in the car ive replaced them again and again very disappointed sorry. …More

    iPad dock more like iPod touch dock

    • Written by from Valencia

    I purchased this for my iPad but it has a case and it doesn't fit, I got creative and instead I put it to use as my iPod dock. I realized that the dock has a great tilt angle for Skype and conference calls, I guess I'll keep it. …More
