Reviews for Apple iPad Dock

I have an iPad mini and since there are minimum accessories out for the mini I thought if I buy the 30 pin to lightning adapter it would be okay to buy a regular iPad dock. I was wrong. My mini barely fits and it's wobbly bc of the adapter. I would like to see an iPad mini dock out soon.

Apple has not updated this connector dock. The new thinner and beveled edges of newer iPads do not fit properly. I was told at the Apple store that it works okay, but it is not true. I had to give up using it as I was afraid I would damage the connector in my attempts to get it to seat properly.

The box label clearly says iPad 2, so don't use it for any other model.

As you can see it says it works with the iPad 1, however, the iPad 1 is too thick to fit down into the charging port and be able to stay on the dock. Pointless. I literally had to sell my iPad 1 to get an iPad to fit this dock.

This reminds me of the downhill 80s guys. Apple recommends a case, to prevent damage, but then apparently wants you to snap in and out of the case to dock? NO.

Do not buy if you keep your iPad in a case. it won't fit. Waste of money for an idea that should work.

This dock restricts the use of iPad a lot:
1. The (all) volume control buttons gets disabled when using the audio out socket on this dock. You have to use the headset socket on ipad to control voice.
2. This dock would only support Portrait mode!
3. You can not use any protective covers to use this dock.

It's fine to use for demo purposes like Apple uses in it's stores; for me it slowly became useless over period of time after initial excitement of purchasing it.

I would not recommend it for common use.

Excellent dock, makes the iPad look even more gorgeous (if that's possible). Yes, it's true that it does not work with the Smart Cover on, but it's not hard to take it off, don't be lazy.

I immediately purchased one of these the night I bought my IPad3. I thought the idea was great. Tried to use it for a week and returned it last night.

Even the people at the Apple store could not believe how poorly it works, particularly the sound control with the speaker jack. They tested it on the spot with speakers. Sure enough, they saw what I was talking about.

1) The angle it holds your IPad at is not good, not good at all.

2) If you use a cover for your IPad, (who doesn't), plan on removing it every single time you want to dock it. A royal pain.

3) If you plug in speakers, you loose ALL control of the volumn. The hard switch is disabled, the electronic control is blacked out, even the control on Pandora is useless. The dock-speaker jack appropriates your entire sound control to a very high volumn and you can't do a thing about it.

Once when the phone rang, I could not turn the volumn down, Then again when there was a knock at the door, I could not immediately adjust the volumn. This is useless.

They were GREAT at the Apple store. Gave me my refund and I bought an extension cord instead for my IPad. I still love all things Apple and the customer service is stil great.

It was working fine and attached fine, but all of a sudden, it stopped charging my iPad and I did nothing to it, and didn't touch it.

1st one didn't work at all. Went to service centre and was replaced. 2nd one now speakers work but doesn't work with the iPod dock to VGA cable (works if I plug it into the iPad directly).

Complete rubbish - whole point was to stop having to plug in two cables to get external monitor and sound and instead just plug the iPad into the dock.
