Question: When the phone is plugged into the usb part, will it play your music or does it have to be docked on top in order form my music to play?
Document: This alarm clock does everything you need it to do (play the radio, charge or listen to music from your iPhone or iPod, alarm, etc.) There are only two things I do not like about it. Having had the version of this for the 4th generation iPhone, which had dual alarms, I am disappointed that I can only set one alarm on this. I have overcome this by setting a second alarm on my iPhone, which will sound when docked even if the phone is silenced.
Good sound, nice small footprint. However, the phone would only charge in its case after I removed the rubber pads that are attached around the docking site. I did have issues with the first one I bought: after about 6 weeks it wouldn't play music from the phone anymore when my alarm went off, even though the phone was docked correctly. I'm on the second one now, so far so good.
Other docs completely mute your phone; whereas this honors the settings on your phone including any do not disturb. The + / - buttons are fine and can move fast if you hold them down...those of you complaining that this is a negative are being silly. The coolest part was that I plugged in my iphone and the clock sync'd to it without any button pressing!
I love how it will play via the USB cable or being docked, only draw back is I can't keep the case on and dock it, the jack is too short to reach the phone with the case on....but other than that my favorite dock of all.
If you have more money, get the bigger brother. Also, no bluetooth. BOO! But I didn't know it had a bluetooth brother till after I bought it. Very convenient night stand charger, that's why I bought it, and it does it very well. The usb port on the back is great too. I don't really use the stand on top ever actually, mainly because it doesn't fit with my phone case on. Decent sound for what you might expect from a $70 iHome product.
I found setting it up reasonably easy and was happy with the sound quality the display was fairly easy to read. The controls were a tad confusing between which buttons changed tracks and which ones were the play buttons for the iPhone and whatever I plugged into the USB port. But after a few months the whole thing started acting wonky. The play button for iPhone didn't always work unless I had the phone in standby.
I enjoyed this dock better than the android dock version. The best part is the clock integrating with the iPod/iPhone. The sound quality from the unit was also great for my bedroom and bathroom. I also use this with my Android phone while my iPod touch charges and plays music.
Bought this for my wife, and she loves it now that I purchased the Speck Candyshell Flip case. This dockable case allows the iPhone 5 to be docked directly on the clock, freeing up the USB port to charge her iPad mini. All the clock functions have worked as advertised, and it is a nice size for a bedside table. She enjoys waking up to her own music, and a charged phone.
just the right size for a night table. can ajust the brightness of the clock display from bright to almost off. i-phone cradle on top work perfect to charge and use i-phone for alarm or music.
Just over a month after it arrived it stopped charging reliably through the lightning adapter. Then it stopped playing sound from an iPhone plugged into the top, even when charging. Finally, it stopped responding to pressing any of the buttons. Plus the trickle charge out the USB port was always pretty slow to charge an iPad. So, I've returned it. Definitely not worth your money.
Answer: Hi there, Good news!  I just went in and checked. It will play your music via doc or USB. We love ours! They are awesome. Compact, good sound, good design. I can charge my iPad and iPhone: genius.
