## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can it fit an iPhone or iPod touch generation 5 in an otter box?**
A: There are other solutions.  I bought the  Shinntto Iphone 5 Iphone5s Iphone 5c Ipad Mini Ipad Mini 2 Lifeproof Lightning to Lightning 8 Pin to 8 Pin Dock Adapter Which allows you to keep the case on.  It tends to stick in the iPhone when you remove it but that is better than having to remove the case every night.  There are also some adapter cable solutions to lay the iPhone next to the speaker.  Be sure to get a cable that supports the audio connection... not just charge and Sync.

**Q: Is this compatible with the iPhone 6?**
A: I don't have the iPhone 6 yet, but the dock seems to be able to accommodate almost any iPhone with lightning connector (which iPhone 6 has) that is up to about 3cm deep and up to about 9cm wide (iPhone 6 is 0.69cm deep and 6.7cm wide).

**Q: Will it play alarm from my i-phone**
A: The system seems to auto shut-off after a certain amount of time, which defeats the purpose of using it s an alarm (since the music wont come out from the speaker, but from the phone itself) :(

**Q: When used with the iPhone 5, can I conduct a conference call through the speaker and an I mute through this device?**
A: You can certainly conduct a conference call.  I've had at length conversations with my staff and you can here everything crisp and clear.

    Incredible!
  

*by G***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2014*

Something so small can produce such great sound! Got the FULL Sony 5.1 Surround but costly to operate. I mean ~2500W...nice, you really 'live' the music!This li'l dock 'll do it for 10W! Granted can't feel da base in yer feet BUT hi's and lo's are well represented evidenced when I answer texts. Can FEEL the bass when I pick it up to perform other iPhone functions which are not interrupted when listening! Kinda Spartan, ie no remote but does have a battery pack (4 AA's not incl) which enables its mobility! Searched many, ie Sony...$249!, but figured would try a Phillips fer ~$65 bucks--good move!Naw!...wouldn't replace muh Surround w/it but fer background? While watchin' the game? Nice! Good value, good price, good listenin'! Diddit 'gain Amazon! ☑️14Jul'14  Spoke w/Phillips today, re: same no response w/dock as another buyer had indicated--sound only directed by iPhone not Dock. Appears you must introduce iPhone to radio cable first (in earphone hole) apparent defaults in dock mandate this! If not, only get 'tinny' iPhone volume only! But when you touch bases w/default barrier--works GREAT! Give it a try!  ☑️

    Works great -- but not if your iPod/iPhone is in a case
  

*by K***M on Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2015*

I bought this for my husband for his birthday, so he could use it with his new iPod Touch (his old speaker dock works only with the older iPod Classic).  This speaker dock is very small, easy to use, and will be great for listening to music out on the deck (or on vacation -- the size makes it very portable).  The sound is very good -- my husband really likes it.But -- and it's a BIG but -- the only way to get the iPod (or iPhone) to attach properly to the speaker is to remove its case.  And that's just ridiculous.  The case my husband uses on his iPod is very thin -- just a protective bit of rubber to keep the iPod safe in case he drops it.  But the iPod will not seat properly on the speaker connection unless the case is removed.  And those cases are annoying to remove -- no one wants to have to do it on a regular basis.My husband does like this unit, and he has decided to keep it, but we both agree it would be a much better product if it didn't require removal of the iPod's case every time you want to use it. Overall, it's a good product -- just be aware of the case issues.

    Great Dock... Just Couldn't Use it With a Case On Without Modification
  

*by W***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2015*

UPDATE: Amazon's trade-in program rejected this dock and sent it back to me on the grounds that the connection were broken. Upon receiving it, I plugged it up, took my iPhone 5S out of the case, and the dock worked fine. I assume they tried to connect a phone that was in a case. HOWEVER, since I had my dock back, I decided to modify the dock to so that it works with my phone in its case and now I use this dock every night.The modification was simply to pull the plastic surrounding the lightening connector off the phone base. I have a very thin Apple leather case and the phone just fits with this modification. There are metal protrusions on each side of the lightening port that would not allow a thicker case, such as an Otterbox, to work. I've attached a photograph of my modified dock. Eventually I plan to put some kind of shrink wrap around it so that it's not so exposed.Two peculiarities I've noticed about this dock since I've been using it. First, when the phone is docked, it only plays MUSIC through the dock speakers. Things like alarm clocks, ringtones, and alerts DO NOT play through the dock. I have been able to play music off the iOS music app as well as Amazon's music app for iOS, I have not tried any other music players. My alarm clock app with sleep sounds does not play through this dock, though I downloaded a couple more that do. It seemed hit or miss.Having used my old dock as an alarm clock for years, I thought this was terrible—until my phone alarm went off the other morning and it didn't give me a near-heart attack from sheer volume.Also, I've noticed you can leave a 3.5mm cable connected to the auxiliary input on the dock, and when you dock your phone, the auxiliary input stops and the lightening port becomes the dock's audio input source. This is a change from my previous dock, as I had to remove the 3.5 mm auxiliary input cable before the dock would play music off the 30-pin source.I've also been completely unable to play music off my phone when running this dock on battery power. The volume buttons light up but the music comes only from my phone. Not a big deal, as I now have a bluetooth speaker to take with me when I go outside, but I do miss the ability to pack my dock outside the way I did my old 30-pin version.ORIGINAL REVIEW:I've used the 30-pin version of this dock with my iPod and iPhone 4S for years. One of the selling features of the 30-pin dock was its design that allowed it to work with the Apple Bumper on the phone--something no other dock I tried would allow. So, when I got my 5S recently, I purchased this lightening version expecting the same experience I was already enjoying with my old dock.The Good: Nobody will ever mistake this for a Bose, but it pumps out a loud, clear sound. With the proper EQ, it is astonishingly good for such a small dock. The ability to load 4 AA batteries into the unit and take it with me wherever I go has been awesome. It makes a great alarm clock and a great speaker for when I'm grilling out.The Bad: I have a leather Apple case on my 5S, which is not a thick case at all. No matter how much I tried, I couldn't get the 5S do actually dock without taking it out of the case. It looked like the base around the lightening dock should recess, like it might be spring loaded, but I never could get it to budge. I love the look of this unit, I like the sound quality a lot, but I can't justify keeping a dock that won't take my phone with the case.The Ugly: I just left my Philips dock at UPS. It's on its way back as a trade-in. Truly a shame, but since the unit has apparently been discontinued by Phillips, it looks like I will either adapt my new phone to my old dock or get a bluetooth speaker instead.
