IPad Dock August 24, 2010
Bobby Baker
I received the Ipad dock only 4 days after purchasing so I give the company 5 Stars. I like the dock, however when the ipad is connected to the Dock you have to have Speakers to listen to it; which is not included nor was instructed to purchased. And of course you cannot lay it lanscape to watch video. But if your just needing it to play music (speakers sold seperatly) or view slideshow of photographs it's a good product.
 Device not what I needed but service exceptional August 19, 2010
Hans A Wiggers (Saratoga, Ca United States)
I was hoping to get a device that would provide a USB access to the iPad. The device does not supply that I found out. They gave me a return and refund with no problems. They even refunded the shipping costs to Canada. I would definitely do business with them again
 FUNCTIONAL BUT POORLY DESIGNED July 16, 2010

Pros: You can dock your iPad on it and either charge it or connect it to your computer.
Cons: It's neither ergonomic nor safe. Undocking the iPad poses a problem because, unlike with the iPhone or iPod Touch dock, there's no convenient horizontal area on the front of it to hold it down with one hand while you lift the iPad off with the other. You either have to reach around back and hold it down there, or try to slip your finger under and into the little ledge on the front while avoiding scratching the screen if you have fingernails. As far as safety is concerned, I think it really needs to be heavier or have a wider footprint because it wobbles too much when you bump the iPad and I'd prefer it be more stable. It might be best to glue it down to your desk or table once you decide where you're going to keep it. Once it's glued into place, then both of these design problems would be solved. Finally, be careful when you're opening the box. Apple sealed the box lid with a piece of hard plastic designed to hang the box on a shelf in a store display. The only way to break that seal is to cut it with a knife, and you run the risk of scratching the dock when you do that. Instead, open the box from the bottom. I absolutely hate it when product packaging is so ornery that you end up either injuring yourself or damaging the product just trying to get it open.
 Little dock that does it all July 15, 2010
Stephen Marth (San Ramon, CA United States)
I was surprised by the size of this product - less than 3 inches square.
Originally I was planning to use it for charging but have since realized that it has so many other uses.
As noted in other reviews, the unit is designed to be mesh exactly with the iPad unit itself. A cover gets in the way. To resolve this problem, I used a sharp scissors to cut out a 1" x 3" rectangle shaped piece from the back of the Apple cover where the dock meets the iPad. The modified cover works just as well as it did before but allows the dock to connect.
Another problem is that when installed in the dock, the iPad can tip sideways if it gets bumped. I wish the dock had been made a couple inches wider to provide a more stable base.
I actually bought 2 of these docks: one for charging/syncing and other for media access. By leaving the dock attached to my TV and sound system I can just drop the iPad in the base unit and watch my iPad videos.
If you can afford an iPad, you can afford the official dock July 8, 2010

It seems almost ridiculous that Apple would charge for an accessory that should have come bundled with it - Because they can. The iPad dock is much portable than the cousin with the built in keyboard version. Build quality is superb as you would expect from any Apple product from a size and weight standpoint, but the shape itself may not be too friendly when fitting into tight spaces of your carry bag due to its design. Granted the main intention of this product is to showcase pictures your iPad and/or if you have a bluetooh keyboard, a perfect way to input text quickly without having to strain your neck.
Also note that if you use any form of case you are unable to use this dock prior to removing it as it is meant to fit snugly and flush with the iPad. iPad skins like the Invisible Shield work fine. The dock has three inputs, the standard 30 pin connector for the iPad itself, the USB cable which connects to your computer and a line out port for external speakers.
The dock works as claimed by apple, however the line out port exhibits an unusual behavior - You are unable to adjust the volume from your iPad when in use. It defaults to a fixed volume and rely on your speakers volume controls instead. This is useless if you intend to use headphones from the line out jack. You can still mute audio however and or just plug your headphones to your iPad instead.
In short, the dock is a perfect way to exhibit your brand new iPad. There are better docks out there that would probably accomplish more but none done with the small footprint and elegance. It would be an insult to your new purchase if you opt for a non-official Apple stand. If you can afford money for an iPad, there should be no reason for you not to complement it with this.
