EXCEPT the most important Iphone 6 charging cable, was not included. and the little information paper inside the box said i need to use the cable that comes with my i device. NO GOOD! i thought i purchased a charger, at least cable should be included, NO way i do not want to dedicate the only cable that came with my iphone to the desk, then alternative is to purchase another pair of iphone cables worth $40 plus tax. so just to test out, i even used my own cable to feel the seating and ease of connection, For me it must be usable with the case i have. Although i was able to plug in with case on, but it was not comfortable at all. i felt i may break the connection because i had to wiggle a lot. Few more tries, and was easier to plug but still not comfortable at all. In my opinion this DEFINITELY is not worth $70 NO WAY. considering to purchase another $40 apple wires to actually be able to use this. BUT wait, i found another charger that DID COME with iphone charging cable, and it was only $14 True this one has 2 housing vs one but even that was not worth $70 when you can have 5 of the other one with cable for the same price of one of this???? and this one with no cable??? i found that amazing??? why is this with no cable $70 and the other one $14 with cable?? must be something i was missing quality? Ease of USe? wont fit with my case on?... BUT NONE OF THAT! The fitting with my case on was even so smooth as if no case was on. i definately do not recomend this and if i am allowed to help and compare, i will mention the following that was a no brainer just out of box worked as if you are using a apple product. this did it for me Southmaker Charge + Sync Dock $14 My review is just to help other buyers, and hope the make of this re evaluate how they priced this with no idevice charging cable for $70. hope i was helpful Review: Great for phones, a little wobbly for tablets - First of all, I think this is the best dock out there if you have different types of devices across different charging platforms. For me, I have a Samsung Galaxy 3 phone and a Nexus 7 2013 tablet. This is the only dock I could find that would allow me to charge and dock both of those devices at the same time. Yes, this dock is expensive at $70, but it's made of quality metal and aesthetically better than anything out there. The only reason I don't give it a full five stars is that I think the design could be better for tablets. My phone docks great, but the tablet leans a little too much for my taste. The tablet still docks and can be made to stay upright, but I think if the resting plate of the back dock were raised a bit the tablet wouldn't lean as much. The great thing about this dock, of course, is if I sell either my phone or tablet and get, say, an iPad, I can still use this dock. That to me justifies the price.

Great for phones, a little wobbly for tablets
First of all, I think this is the best dock out there if you have different types of devices across different charging platforms. For me, I have a Samsung Galaxy 3 phone and a Nexus 7 2013 tablet. This is the only dock I could find that would allow me to charge and dock both of those devices at the same time. Yes, this dock is expensive at $70, but it's made of quality metal and aesthetically better than anything out there. The only reason I don't give it a full five stars is that I think the design could be better for tablets. My phone docks great, but the tablet leans a little too much for my taste. The tablet still docks and can be made to stay upright, but I think if the resting plate of the back dock were raised a bit the tablet wouldn't lean as much.

Great dock for the Mophie Juice Pack Air for the 5S
I have been searching for a dock that is compatible with the Mophie Juice Pack Air for the 5S, and it was by chance that I came upon the EverDock. The EverDock does indeed work with the Mophie Juice Pack Air, and it's a nice and snug fit. This does mean that the Juice Pack Plus is a little too thick for this dock in case anyone is wondering. I got the silver version of the EverDock Duo, and it looks very nice on my dark mango wood nightstand. I like the simple, minimalist look to the dock, and best of all it doesn't take up much space. Installation was very easy - pick the rubber insert and/or tip holder, thread the USB cables through it and out the bottom, run the cables through the channels on the bottom to hold them in place, peel off the backing, and put it down on a clean surface. It took me about 10 minutes overall to get everything set up. The one potential watch-out is that the bottom of the case does not sit flush with the dock. There's about a 1 mm gap, so the phone/case is hanging a bit vicariously onto the dock via the micro USB plug. Not sure if this will be a problem long term.

A little high on price, but functional.
The product is heavy and didn't have clear instructions. I don't think it takes them, but I've setup other docks, like the 12 South High-Rise. It would make life for others simple. It comes with pre-fitted USB cables and two sleeves to adjust for height and case thickness. Accommodates tablets and phones, with interchanging cables easily. You will need a dual USB outlet connection for the cables, or two single outlet connectors. Thick phone cases, 15 mm or more, will not fit for the depth and height. At least on an iPhone. The sleeves tend to come off, depending on how you remove your devices. Otherwise, the weight keeps a suction-like seal on the surface. Even when moving devices, it remains in place. Phones or tablets in the second holder don't allow you to touch a center button. For example, placing a tablet in this slot when it's low on charge and reading or watching something, you may try and hit the button out of habit, finding yourself annoyed. Otherwise, it does the job. Price for a fancy piece of milled aluminum and pre-made mini-USB cables is a little high, but current with what else is offered. Surprisingly heavy. Compact and easily carried around for travelers, so far, with the ability to adhere to all surfaces.

HORRIBLE product
This is an absolutely HORRIBLE product. The charging cord is not stable in the base and it makes charging the phone difficult. One of the cords even broke off the base within 2 days of using this product. Not all iphone cords fit in the charger. I attempted to return the product within just days of receiving it but was told by the seller they would not accept the return because the product was opened. Never have I received that response after an Amazon purchase and was shocked at the poor level of customer service from this seller.

Cannot use device in the rear position
Pro: nicely made from quality materials and it looks nice. Con: 1) It is too light. Do NOT believe anyone who writes that you can pull your device off this dock with one hand. It is a two handed operation. 2) Whatever Apple device is placed in the rear charging position will be blocked from use while in the dock. You have to remove the device (two-handed) in order to reach the "Home" button at the bottom, because it is blocked behind the dock support and the device in front. So this will charge your iPad in the rear position, but don't expect to have access to using it without pulling it out of the dock each time. 3) It does not come with Apple-compliant charging cables. This was not a surprise but it would have been helpful if the cables came with the dock.

Almost there!!!! But worth it
This is a good dock. Almost perfect actually.It has a stick pad on the bottom that holds great. The item is well made from a aluminum block. No cheep plastic. It has spacers so it can work with several cases and devices. The onny things making this not perfect it. It comes with micro usb cables. No iPhone cables at all. I put a iPad in the back of the dock and my iPhone in the front. The was it is there is no way to press the home button when it is docked in the back, They should of cut out a little U shape from the front part so you can press buttons with out having to take it out of the dock. I do have a jailbreak solution that wrks well. And the last thing is that the apple connectors fit little loose and wiggleled around and got off senter. So all I had to do to fix this was I super glued them to the dock and it is fixed. Oh and its little pricy but the build quality is great. Worth the buy.

Hate it!
Hate it! For me a waste of money and, unfortunately, I waited too long to return it by two days! A valuable lesson that Amazon has just 30 days return policy. I found the product far overpriced for what it is. It did not hide the cords and did not look neat and orderly on my counter when charging my iPhone and iPad , which was my main goal. Others may love, but I have not disliked a product so much in a long time! I ordered two Anker stands from Amazon for by iPad and iPhone, then rigged a system for controlling the cord that works well when using the stands on my kitchen counter. Still searching for the ideal charging dock for my needs.
