Reviews for Apple iPad Dock

This stand securely supports and positions the iPad to be charged and synced. In my opinion, its one flaw is that part of the front is covered up and I dislike that just for the looks, but it does keep the iPad held secure.
-Recommended as an extra convenience-

The Dock is narrow, and it allows the iPad to rock under varying conditions... Ask yourself how long will the iPad's connecting port last under the stress of supporting it's entire weight by its connecting jack? I obtained my iPad 2 & dock less than 6 months ago, the dock no longer charges the iPad. Is it broken? No. The oblique angle simply no longer allows proper connection. I now have to similarly stress the original cable when connected to coax a charging connection. Pass on the dock and just use the supplied power cord.

The problem with all of Apple's docks (iPad2, iPhone, iPod) is, that as soon as you put any case on your device, however thin, it no longer fits in the dock. Charging your device is impossible without removing the cover. In the case of my 64GB, iPad2, a thin Mareware protective back cover for my iPad2 renders my dock useless. Knowing that people are going to want to protect such an expensive investment should be taken into account when Apple designs their docks. A little extra wiggle room wouldn't be so difficult to design into the docks.
"IDEA!!!!!!", maybe even some front to back adjustability, to accommodate different size cases.

You CAN use the smart cover with this product so stop saying you can't. Just put the iPad 2 in the dock with the smart cover OPEN then after the i pad 2 is in the dock simply close the cover. When your ready to use the iPad 2 simply pull it off like usual. When your finished repeat the process. i can't believe you all complain, when all that needs to be done is something simple... Americans are getting lazier and lazier.

The Smart Case interferes and doesn't allow iPad to plug into this Dock connector. Shouldn't have to pull the iPad out of the case just to use this - sort of defeats the purpose of a case, doesn't it Apple?

The previous version was smaller, less stable and you could only dock the iPad naked. The new dock is bulkier and heavier for more stability. The trick to docking the iPad with smart cover is to open the smartcover, dock the iPad and then you can close the cover.

$29 for a weighted piece of plastic that holds up the iPad 2. It works nicely, though you can forget entirely using a cover with the iPad if you are going to prop it up with this. I just cannot believe that the accessories for all things Apple are so incredibly expensive!

I will check back in five business days to see if they "allowed" my review. I will be shocked if they did.

I don't get it? Why is everyone complaining about this. All it does is hold and charge your iPad 2. That's what it was made for.

For everyone's information, you are supposed to take the smart cover off before putting it on the dock haha

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.

First, only item in the box is the dock, nothing else is included. $29.00 is a lot of money for what is essentially a big, white plastic connector.
Second, the dock does not accommodate the smart cover! Come on Apple, you specifically designed the smart cover for the iPad2 and also this dock is specifically designed for the iPad2 -- why don't they work together? I can't believe that I either have to remove the smart cover or have the smart cover flopped to the side just to dock my iPad2.
Third, it is not easy to align the iPad2 with the dock’s connector. The iPad2's connector port is on the back. The dock's connector is obscured by the dock's design when trying to dock the iPad2. Good luck trying to determine if you have the two perfectly aligned before pressing down to dock…
