Kensington K33458US Nightstand Charging Dock for iPhone and iPod Touch, including iPhone 4 (Black) Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I like this dock. Its perfect for my situation since I sleepover my girlfriends house pretty often and now I have my own separate nightstand alarm clock. The base is easy to plug into the iphone and can support the phone easily either horizontally or vertically.
Here are my issues: 1) Expensive. I think $30 for an iphone charger is pretty expensive. 2) The app could be better. Its a free download on itunes but it relies on the built in Alarm Clock in the iphone so basically its just a clock. 3) This is my biggest issue. The usb cable is detachable from the adapter plug. If you don't have it perfectly seated (and I mean perfectly) it will not charge your phone. I can't tell you how frustating it is to plug this in overnight assuming you are charging your phone only to find out it isn't. This wouldn't be so bad if the rise and shine app actually had an indicator to confirm your phone is charging. It does not. Usually usb cables aren't this sensitive but I believe the port on the ac adapter must be loose or something. I think another reviewer had the same issue. So I don't regret my purchase, but feel there is room for improvement.
