Question: Do I have to remove my iPhone/iPad from their cases in order to use this or can I leave cases in place and still charge?
Document: Everything is working. I like it! I use it with my iphone 5 (with adaptor) and Ipad. I charge them, listen to music/radio. I'm very glad that I order it!
I got this clock radio so my husband could charge his iPad and use it to select music to wake to. He has another iHome product already, but we were wanting to pass that over to our teen.This unit was safely packaged, but not difficult to get into. Setup was easy, though the itty-bitty remote got lost almost immediately.
)This review is from: iHome App-Enhanced Dual Alarm Stereo Clock Radio Docking Station with Remote for iPad/iPhone/iPod (iD45BZ) (Electronics)This unit is listed on the iHome website as having a lightning adapter for iPhone 5. Either I purchased an older unit or iHome website has the wrong information. Amazon leaves that information off their description for this model because they still have a bunch of old inventory or because they haven't received the new units.
While the units seems nice we can't use it for the following reasons:1) The USB port isn't current rated to handle the Ipad 2 and thus won't charge it.
Lets face it, 99% of iPhone users have cases on their iPhones. Am I right? So what is the point of a dock that you have to take the phone out of the case to use. The old iHome clocks allowed the phone to dock in with the case on.I did modify the iHome and my case. Not everyone can modify their case if it is hard plastic. My case was soft rubber. Sorry iHome, you missed the boat on this one.
PLUS, 3D Sound. This feature is new, but the difference is remarkable, as you really get a fuller sound compared to all other iHome docks I have heard. It will fill a small room without any distortion.The top of the unit is `flush' with the buttons, making it look sleek and the Flexible 30-pin connector is long enough that you can leave your iPhone/iPod case on and it still works. An Otterbox would be too large.
LOVE IT!!! We live in Europe (we are military family) and this was a great way to charge up our iPad and iPhone. I bought it on a whim, because I could not find the voltage&#8230;its a 220v which is European friendly.Highly recommend it.
This is the docking station I have been looking for. The sound quality is just amazing. This is the one to get. I mainly use it to play ambient sleep music while I charge my Iphone overnight. The only thing I don't like about it is the remote control. The printing on the buttons is way to small to read, but I can memorize it in time. The Ihome+sleep app is a free MUST d/l. Awesome customization and info center.
I can charge my iPad or iPhone 4 on top and my iPhone 5 using the USB charger.Music can be played from either connector.I tried other brands with docks for iPhone 5 but the connector does fit when your iPhone has a protective case
I use this every morning to wake up and it's perfect. I enjoy the flexibility of choosing how loud the alarm is, what song to wake to and also the gradual increase in volume. The dual alarm feature makes it perfect for both my wife and me since we have different schedules. I have an old iPod that I keep connected to it continuously, and I use the USB port at the back to charge my iPhone 5.Highly recommended!
Answer: You'll probably need to take it out of it case to dock and charge on top but it has a USB slot on the back you can plug a charger in. We have two and that's how my daughter does it.
