Reviews for Apple iPad Dock

The dock holds the iPad, charges it and syncs ( if you buy a cable in addition).
But what's not acceptable at all: when you connect speakers via the line-out of the dock, you cannot control the volume through the iPad!!
Yes, that's right. If your speakers don't have an additional volume control, this dock is useless for playing music. Unfortunately!
I hope there is an update on this issue soon.

Does not provide enough support. The base should be at least 1 inch wider to properly support the iPad. Does not support landscape mode.

I like the dock, it does everything it's supposed to do. It stands the iPad up nicely and charges it! The only thing I would have changed is I think it should at least come with another USB cord & or charger.. but I feel this way with all docks.

I bought the stand so I could have my iPad upright in front of me when watching movies. The stupid thing only works in portrait mode making it worthless for me who prefers to watch a movie using the whole screen in landscape mode.

Well... Until I received my iPad in the mail. On the plus side, it is solid, nice looking and well engineered from an aesthetic point of view. It makes for a nice photo frame stand.

On the other hand:
1. No power cable. Unless you have an apple computer forget about charging and syncing at the same time.
2. It does not dock with the apple case. Words cannot describe how wrong this is.
3. A bit wobbly if iPad is in use while docked. Not horribly unstable, but enough to mention.

Overall, the apple case provides 80% of the functionality of this stand and is only marginally more wobbly when used in the portrait mode. I cannot recommend this product unless you are connecting to a Mac. Even then I would say you'd be better off just buying the case.

I don't know why there are haters for this product. I simply love my dock. It sits perfectly on my desk next to my iPhone, sits sturdy and looks GREAT.

I've read countless reviews of customers who have had difficulty in removing the Apple iPad Case in order to utilize their dock.

Removal is actually very simple; you don't have to hassle yourself with trying to yank/pull the iPad out of the case. Instead, slide out the microfiber fold, and rotate the iPad around so you are grasping the opposite end. With your middle fingers and hands supporting the short top and bottom ends, use both of your thumbs to give the iPad a push outward. Just push enough so about one inch of the iPad exits. You can then use your thumbs on the inner part of the case to slide the iPad out. After doing this three times, it is a piece of cake, and your iPad can be inserted and removed with ease. The best part is, the case still retains its original shape so you can do this forever and not worry about your iPad case falling off, getting loose, etc.

I have to remove my iPad twice daily; once to dock at home, and again to dock at my desk at work.

This case fits the iPad perfectly, and is great for typing on the go, watching videos, and just keeping it safe and scratch free. I have no complaints!!

If your iPad is in an iPad case, this device is useless unless you want to wrestle the case off of your iPad first. I bought the dock without thinking about it, but since I have no intention of prying my iPad out of its case, the dock has been relegated to the status of paper weight. Don't waste your money.

I bought the iPad dock and Apple's iPad case. You can't use dock when your iPad is in the case. The iPad fits so well in the case it is not easy to remove the case to plug it into the dock. So, the dock becomes useless.

My advice - Purchase the iPad case but don't waste your money on the dock. The case holds the iPad either vertically or horizontally, whereas the dock only holds it vertically. The case is well designed, provides good protection and very thin so your iPad doesn't 'grow' much inside the case. The dock simply serves no purpose if you have the case.

I use my iPad everyday and still love it. I bought the case which again is very useful. Having to remove the case is not only a daunting task but totally out of line. Come on apple I expect the best and I usually get it. Fix-this
