    Battery drains!

    • Written by from FREEPORT

    I agree with the previous review. You would expect this to charge your Iphone over night but instead it drains the battery. Caught me on a bad day with this and a dead phone. If you leave it in the dock and your computer goes to sleep, the battery steadily drains. Very annoying.

    Fantastic!

    • Written by from Livingston

    Really good quality, I was surprised at the weight of it! Nice and sturdy and shows off the phone! Just remember that if you have any protective covers, it might not fit while the cover is on.

    Fantastic

    • Written by from Pontefract

    Wonderful little bit of tech!
    Works perfectly. Looks fantastic together with the iPhone 3G. The iPhone fits into it very nicely and is easy to take out.

    All together a brilliant, must have accessory for any iPhone 3G user. It really would have been nice if it actually came with the phone, but either way, it's still really good.

    works just as explained

    • Written by from Broadview Heights

    works like any other dock and makes life a little easier, the cons about it, is that it does not come with a cable and the price of this is a little bit then i would like this is worth but in the end its exactly what i wanted and works great

    Good Product

    • Written by from woodford green

    OK Apple I understand that the 3G handset costs us less than the 2G. So you have had to reduce your costs and not include the dock. However £19 is a bit much just for the dock. Would it not of been better to sell a dock, cable & wall charger as a package say at £25?

    I got my 3G iPhone on 11th July and only bought the dock last week. Wish I had of bought this before now, makes connecting the phone to my computer so much better. Also hold the handset in place on my desk so I don't knock the phone onto the floor.

    Longer Please!!

    • Written by from Atherton

    Pretty awesome, but for £19 you should get a USB lead with it - I'd pay £25 if it came with another mains adaptor.

    No qualms about it not coming in the box - not everybody wants one, but would be great if Apple produced an extra long usb lead - mine goes behind the bed to charge at night but is just not long enough! have had to put yet another extension lead in to accomodate new shiny iPhone.

    Great Design

    • Written by from Blandford Forum

    Bought this dock for work - it is so good that I am buying another for home. Compact, secure and easy to use phone whilst in dock. Rubber base prevents slippage. Ideal when working at desk. A Great product.

    Must Have!!!

    • Written by from Thornhill

    You can use this stand as a alarm clock, u can shut off alarm (slide off) one hand with the stand instead of use one hand to hold the phone and other hand to shut off alarm.

    and it won't scatch the phone too!

    More Angle

    • Written by from Chino Hills

    I like the dock but one modification would make it even better. I would like to see more of angle to the phone when it is in the dock so I can work with it better at my desk without taking it out of the dock. I had a palm device which has the perfect dock angle. I would never change back but it would be nice to tilt the dock back about 30 degrees.

    Nice piece of kit!

    • Written by from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne

    Just bought one of these from my NEW local Apple store (Eldon Square, Newcastle). Its a fine piece of kit and is very elegant. Its slightly over-priced for what it is but my iPhone looks so happy sitting in it thats its worth the money! :-)

    DOES NOT WORK WITH AV CABLES

    • Written by from houston

    not mentioned in the notes, this dock does not work with the component AV cable, or any video cable. IT ONLY DOES AUDIO!

    Doesn't work with the HD cable

    • Written by from Edmonton

    Either I wasted my money or I have to send it back. Does NOT work with the HD component cable.

    Functional: one drawback though

    • Written by from New York

    The line-out on the back is a nice touch, but isn't supported for phone calls! This vitiates one of the huge advantages of the Phone and iPod integration on iPhone - the way music fades out and the ringer sounds in your earbuds when you take a call. Your only option when using the Dock is to take the call on the speakerphone.

    elegant and functional

    • Written by from Red Deer

    i hated having my phone lying flat on my night stand it looked horrible not to mention the cable left there when it was not plugged in, the dock looks great, works great, and is not that expencive when you look at docks, of any kind. my only complaint is that the system audio is always at max through the audio out on the back, not paired up to the phone level. but still worth every cent!

    It is fine, but limited use of cases

    • Written by from Seattle

    I am not at all disappointed by the lack of a cable, unless you ate the one that came with your iphone, you should be fine with it too. Otherwise you just end up with a cable sitting in a drawer.

    I guess I might have preferred to have the larger one for an extra 20 bucks, just because my silicon case is not an easy fit onto this one. I have seen that the agent 18 case comes with a universal dock adapter included in the box, and this may be one way to go, but the larger dock seem to work with any case, in any case :)

    Observation, not review

    • Written by from San Rafael

    I agree that it is often frustrating to buy something and not have the cable. But in this case, since the cable comes with the phone, three cheers for Apple for not including superfluous cables. I already have too many cables around my house, and how many of them are headed straight for the landfill. I'm waiting for Apple and every other consumer electronics company to adopt GreenPlug, or something, so we don't need to buy all these ridiculous cables and AC adapters.

    Perfect!

    • Written by from Hamilton

    Absolutely love this product!
    No, it doesn't come with a cable but I already had 2, big deal.
    The sound is perfect! I can hear alarms, calls, messages clearly!
    I don't get what people are crabbin' about with this product. I'm glad I took a chance and ignored all the negative feedback.

    Simply good...

    • Written by from Crows Nest

    A stable and elegant dock for the iPhone 3G/3GS. One star is lost for the lack of an included cable.

    Love It!!!

    • Written by from OREFIELD

    I bought the iPhone 3G S and don't like any case on my phone so I decided to get this. I absolutely love it I have it set up right next to my computer and love how I can play my music on it while on my computer. Don't pass this up!
