Apple iPhone 3G Dock
Not worth the money
Written by CG from Puebla

For 29 USD, what you get is a simple dock, that is no more useful than the usb cable alone, apart from it's looks when it is in yo…Read moreur desk (and it doesn't include an extra cable).. If the 30 pin connector would allow for video output, this would be a whole different story.. but it's not the case. For 20 USD more, you can get the universal dock, which is capable of doing video output, includes an apple remote controller and also gives you the neat looks on your desk.
A dock this simple, should be offered in the phone's package, just like the first iphone, in which it was a nice addition.. not an expensive, almost useless accessory like this one.(40 of 47 people found this review useful)

I especially like the sound ports built into this dock. You can listen to music or podcasts in a quiet room without external speak…Read moreers or amps. Using the iPhone hands free also works well. Well done.

I received this as a gift and can't believe that apple wasn't forward thinking enough to design it for use with protective cases. …Read more In order to use it I have to remove my case.

No cable?

This dock is a great idea and can be very handy for a work situation. It really irks me that I have to go find a connector cable b…Read moreecause one is not included in the package. I want to keep the dock ready at work, and keep a dock connector in my laptop bag for syncing and charging on the go. I find it very frustrating to purchase a seperate cable to power it up. Cables aren't that expensive, one should be included for the price of this accessory.

Apple iPhone 3G Dock
Not as good as the previous model

I like the way it looks, and how the phone fits into the dock, but I've had a huge problem with touching the phone anywhere on the…Read more top half and it becoming dislodged from the dock ever so slightly, disconnecting from the computer, and then reconnecting immediately. Its become a huge hassle especially with the new backing up before sync in iTunes. I'm not thrilled with this dock, compared with the previous version, and I will probably return it.

Just a dock
Written by SD from DURHAM

Pros:
- The viewing angle of the dock looks pretty natural when used on your desk, but also on the average night stand.
- Ea…Read moresy to dock and undock. Fits snugly, but not too tight
- Small and easy to take to an office
Cons:
- No extra cord
- Don't ask me how, but it's easy to knock over face forward. Wouldn't have been a problem if the "base" area was a little bigger
Overal not a bad solution, but I went with a all silicone cover. No te phone doesn't fit in the dock unless you uncover the bottom part of the skin. This could have been prevented if the connector had variable height options.
Without a cover the phone would scratch so I think I will get rid of the dock and just lay it flat.(748 of 879 people found this review useful)
