Reviews for Apple iPad Dock

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.

I picked mine up from the Apple Store and the sales rep told me that it A) came with a cable & B) it works with the case. Got it home, unpacked it all and found neither to be true. Now i have to take it back but the store is out of my way.

Okay first I wanna say that this is a great dock for the iPad. People say it's wobbly but with mine on my night stand it doesn't move I don't know where people are putting there's for it to wobble I'm glad I didn't listen to the reviews because there false. Then people don't like the fact that you cant use it when the iPad is in the case, solution- TAKE IT OUT!!!!!!!! or go on to YouTube and watch the instructions on how to make the case fit on the dock.

I bought this dock online with the iPad. I was excited to see the sleek pad and dock, but once I put the iPad in the iPad case, the dock became a white brick. It sat in my drawer for a month...

...until I tried putting my iphone in it! It is really a perfect fit for my iphone (much better than the old round dock).

I made the mistake of purchasing this when I ordered the iPad online. It is totally useless. Since I also use the black Apple Case, this Dock will not even allow the iPad to be plug into the connector unless you take it out of the Case - a very difficult task!

Being the innovative and responsible company, Apple should recall this Dock.

mega dittos to all who found the case and this piece of junk do not work together. Even without the case it stands wobbly only in profile, yet most people want to watch movies even type in landscape. Everyone who bought one should get money back!

I gave only one star because I could not give no stars. By the way, the iPad is greatest info processor since the Mac. I do not leave home without it :)

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.

I use this dock on the counter in my kitchen for my iPad to run Sonos or to FB. I don't care about the case when I'm home and it's not "that" big a deal when you're traveling to pull it out of the case for dock usage.

Perhaps unlike others, I don't carry around my iPad with me everywhere I go. I have an iPhone for the short trips and only really use my iPad away from home when I'm gone for a day or longer.

It does what it say it does, no more, no less.......

I bought a dock thinking it would be nice way to use as well as charge my iPad. If you have no protective case or skin the it works ok. If however you want to protect this $500+ investment, your out of luck because any additional thickness in the iPad causes it not to fit into the dock. . It does work with the folding case by Apple of which I finally purchased, but forget the Otterbox cases. Disappointed!

-Light weight lends itself for easy portability. If it were too heavy and allowed IPad to undock without resistance (like iPhone dock) then it wouldn't be as light for travel. It also wouldn't hold the heavier-than-iPhone product stable.

-If your not a case-user--because you like the natural feel of Apple's products--it allows you to stand your iPad up by your bed or move to desk and avoid scratches that may come from laying it on down a hard surface.

-It's nice to stand up in front of you e.g. as an adjunct to watching a sports game while running live game app that shadows the game.

-iPad is an always-ready internet device with a full day battery. This stand is wonderful to use without the plug and just as a stand for easy movement around your house.

-Stand + Bluetooth keyboard combination is more flexible than Keyboard dock. It allows you to move around and share bluetooth keyboard with other devices. iPhone 4.0 will allow bluetooth keyboard usage and your computer likely does too.

-The dock-attached-to-keyboard version may obsolete itself if the dock changes for future iPads (which happened when the iPhone 3g replaced the first iPhone. This way you can get years more use out of your keyboard and only have to buy another lone dock.

-Under normal pressure or slightly more aggressive pressure the iPad doesn't knock over.

-It's footprint allows you to stand the iPod on very narrow surfaces.

-Dock it with picture frame slide show. Photo program includes implementation of playlists and effects such as "orgami" photo transitions which combines several photos on one screen with a cool folding-accordion transitory effect.
