I thought long and hard and researched a lot of options for an iPhone dock. I wanted to replace my alarm clock and have a dock where I could stand my phone upright, charging, and use an alarm clock app. Everything I typically found required me to install the lightning cable into it and could not guarantee the fit like the Apple dock. I was reluctant, but because I had a BB coupon, it helped to justify. I don't think it's worth $50, probably not worth the $40 I ended up paying for it, but it does what I wanted from it. They have these same docks at the Apple Store to display their products and I had thought I would be able to remove my phone with just one hand because the weight of the dock base was strong enough to hold it down, but that's not the case. I typically need to use both hands to remove the phone from the dock, otherwise I fear I'll snap off the port. I could have probably gotten away with a cheaper version sold from 3rd party manufacturers. But if my review is based specifically on the functionality, I would give it 4 stars, but the combination of function and price, I dropped it down to 3.

Apple lists this as case friendly. Yeah! If you have a thin bumper. Don’t try using something like a UAG or Magpul case. And forget being able to lift your phone off the stand without using your other hand to hold it to the table top. I get so tired of docks not staying in place when I lift my phone off of it. What’s the point?

I’ve read the reviews about cases were compatible but mines was not and it was a otter box brand so doesn’t fit and when I removed it to see it docked it it’s really looses.

This works as expected. However, if your iPhone is in a heavy case, it might tip over.

The product does what it is designed to do. However, it is a little bit too light for my liking.

I like it because it allows me to display my phone like the Apple store.

Perfect for what it does but the price is a little steep.
