Does the iPhone dock have a sticky base/something to keep it from lifting off the table when you pick up the phone from the dock?
Does the dock have a sticky base to keep it from lifting from the table surface when you pick up the phone with one hand, or do you have to use two hands, i.e. one to hold the dock down and another to pick up the phone when docked?
Best Answer:It has a grippy base to keep it from sliding, but it does not stick in such a way to keep it from lifting. To take the iPhone off of the dock you need to put pressure down on the dock, whether this be with two hands, or with one hand by putting your hand down on the dock while lifting the iPhone with your thumb and index finger. It's not the most comfortable to do it with one hand, but it's certainly possible.

If I use my iPhone as an alarm, will my alarm still sound when docked?
I'm concerned that since there is a dedicated audio output on the back of the dock, that all sound will be muted unless plugged into a speaker through an AUX cord.

AnswerYes, it will sound just fine. The audio output on the back is optional if you'd like to plug headphones in and listen while it's charging since the headphone port is blocked when it's docked. I use mine just to charge and the audio plays from the phone the same as it would if it was plugged into a standard lightning cable.

Answer
The 6 and 6s are very similar. The 6s is slightly thicker, but so unnoticeable that most cases that fit the 6 will fit the 6s. I personally like the dock for my 6s, as it allows an upright position for my phone without being too bulky. But I must admit that it doesn't do anything beyond what it promises--it's just a charging dock. If you just want your phone charged, spending $50 on a dock when your phone comes with a cord is a bit unnecessary, but if you care about aesthetics and having your phone charging upright, then go with the dock.

AnswerIt doesn't come with one. You use the cable that comes with your devices. So it's as long as your cable.

Answer
I wouldn't recommend it at all. The iPad Air 2 is too large and there's no support at the bottom for the small Lightning pin. It would topple right over.

Will this work with a life proof case?
- Asked by Allie M from Charlotte
- 22/09/2015
- Flag as inappropriate (Will this work with a life proof case?)
AnswerNo, the cover that flips out on the LifeProof case blocks the iPhone from being able to to dock on it, and the cut out for the Lightning port is too deep for the dock's Lightning connector to fit.

Is the headphone out on the dock able to be used with an optical cable for digital out with an appropriate 3.5mm optical to toslink cable?
For $79 to be able to only do what iPhone can already do but standing up is a bit of a shame
My 2010 iMac allows me to connect optical to my amp for crystal clear digital sound
And if not optical can it at least be an un amplified audio out so I can connect it my amplifier without added noise?- Asked by Harry M from Eschol Park
