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 your 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)

Well designed and works as described.

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

Will not work with protective cases

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. In order to use it I have to remove my case.

No A/V pass thru
Written by BN from Apple Valley

Like many others...a little disappointed that the iPhone dock doesn't allow A/V pass-thru. Why would you not create the dock specifically designed for the iPhone to capitalize on all it's features??
Sorry...this was a big miss.(76 of 86 people found this review useful)

I like the overall design of the dock, also it has a 3.5mm audio out for your external speakers. Little costly but a must to have for your iphone :)

What!? The dock cancels volume control via phone?
Written by JB from Teaneck
Feb 6, 2009
Dock is fine in every respect, accept that volume can only be controlled using volume knob on the powered speakers connected to the dock.
What's up with that?
I bought the dock for looks and convenience for my desk at work.
I have the universal dock at home, which comes with a remote and outputs video. I believe I have the option of controlling volume on the phone or with the remote.
I am very surprised that it appears that the volume control on the phone is disengaged when the phone is in the dock and the dock is connected to powered speakers via the audio out port on the dock.
That's not the case with the universal dock (but who wants to spend $50 even a first time much less a second time for a dock); or when the phone is in the dock but the speakers are connected via the phone's headphone port (which set-up is pretty ugly-looking).
Hopefully, there is a correction for what i am experiencing or I suspect I will be taking the dock back.(38 of 58 people found this review useful)

Maybe worth $5
Written by MB from Baton Rouge

I was given this, so not like it matters... But, it is pretty much pointless, because it doesn't come with an extra USB cable. The whole purpose of this should be to provide an extra connection to your computer, but instead to have to run around with the cable that came with the iPhone from the outlet to the computer. Cmon Apple, these are exhorbently overpriced to begin with. Give us something useful instead of nickle and diming us. I wish Blackberry was as good as iPhone so I didn't have to get overcharged so much.

No cable, too tight
Written by CC from Boischatel

The dock looks cool, but without cable is useless...
Also do not forget that you have to remove most protector (sleeve type) to use this one.(48 of 61 people found this review useful)
