I just bought this dock yesterday at Best Buy and I love it! It's an awesome product- it has a sleek finish and looks great anywhere in my house! I use it for my iPad 2. I saw some of the reviews saying it is loose but it's definitely not. Just make sure you get the dock that is compatible with your generation iPad!!!!! Another great thing about this is because the iPod (4th gen) is shaped similar, I can charge it in the dock too!!! I definitely encourage anyone to buy this product!!!!

Don't normally bother reviewing stuff but got this iPad dock, and none of the criticism posted here is justified. You don't have to remove the smart case, just fold it into a triangle behind it as you would if you were using it as a stand, and the iPad fits perfectly in the dock.

People complain it doesn't work in landscape mode - of course it doesn't, it doesn't claim too! It clearly shows and describes the iPad docked in portrait mode, the charger goes in at the bottom so how anyone could expect it to work in landscape mode, I don't know.

This is an excellent dock, keeps my iPad charged in the right postion for reading documents, which is what I use it for primarily - replacing paper.

The design is good but I wish they'd have included an external mic input along side the line out and a remote control for music and video navigation would have been nice. in short it's too basic and has missed a trick

I don't know who designed the iPad Dock but it just doesn't fit with the smart cover.It really bothers me as usually all Apple products fit perfectly, but this time they screwed up as it is even nowhere mentioned that you can't use it with the smartcover.

Apple please change that immediatly!

I find it incredulous that Apple sell this item.!!
It is totally useless unless you are prepared to take your iPad out of your Apple Smart Case every time you want to use it.
For our own reasons we choose to buy pay for Apple products over much cheaper android generic products
Just thankful I didn't buy the double dock for iPhone iPad

Once you get your iPad onto the dock, it works fine. The base of the dock is weighted so that your iPad does not fall over easily. With a charger connected, it charges your iPad. With an audio cable, you can play music and podcasts to your radio or other powered speaker. Both nice features.

The problem is that getting your iPad to fit onto the dock is problematic. You have to line it up just right to work. Otherwise it slides off the dock all too easily. What this means in practice is that you can't just plop your iPad on the dock in a casual, one-handed manner and expect it to work. You have hold the iPad with two hands, take the time to line it up with the dock adapter, then insert it slowly. Not good if you are the impatient type - like me!

This dock works exactly as expected and its perfectly fine.

It's nicely weighty, has great minimalist design ... and it's a dock for an iPad.

The design is good, works perfectly, having to take the Smart Cover off isn't exactly a big deal, it's not going to harm you, so not really worth rating one star because of that, I would give it 5 star though if you could leave it on, but I think the other reviewers have been really harsh.

P.S think one like this should be available for the iPod Touch.
