Can this product be free standing so that I can see the iPhone 5 face while it is charging? (I'm actually looking for an inexpensive docking accessory.)

This product is to attach a cell phone to a camera tripod. It is not free standing.

You would need to buy the base separately that will enable you to do that. Just like the ones on the picture.

its covered, thats one the the thigns I complained about when using this dock....you can charge your phone and have it docked if its an iphone 5

The iPhone 5 will not dock but with a PIN adapter and a cable, it may work. At that point a different product would be better so I'm going to say no, it will not integrate to the intended useful degree.

Yes it will work with it in that it will hold it on its side or vertically while charging. However the stand will not activate a "docking"screen. But you can set up your phone to launch a "daydream" screen when you plug it in to charge it. IMO it is not worth more than $15. If you can get it for less than that with SH then that would be a decent buy.

Yes you'll have to use it. Kind of a draw back of this product. I still haven't found any dock that would work with my phone and case.

So, if you have a case it won't charge properly? I have an iPhone 4 with a slim rubber case and am worried that if I buy this product, I'll have to remove my iPhone from the case every time I want to dock it.. would that be the case?

I see no reason why not. The Lightning cable is what's actually being plugged in and there's plenty of room front and back to accommodate many types of cases. It's flexible, and there's no electronics as a part of it, except perhaps the audio plug which I put in the down position so it doesn't engage (I use Bluetooth.) There's not much to go wrong. My iPad Mini Retina is in the dock charging right now, normally my iPhone 5. I imagine an iPad Air will work also. In addition to the Lightning cable, an appropriate power adapter will also be needed - as stated in the ad. The way it's built it's taller than I'd like,and the metal base is held on by a magnet and will sometimes come off when disconnecting the phone from the plug, but it easily reattaches. It does the job for me. If it's not as advertised, return it. I doubt you will need to.

I believe it is the way the stand is designed. The weight of the phone pushing on the plug is probably causing an open circuit in one of the wires. I wound up gluing a big fender washer to the stand to support the phone-my problem was solved. For the money paid I will use this unit until it longer works, then buy a better docking unit. I have a docking stand made by Sinjimoru, fantastic unit. Well worth the extra money.

We don't use a dock, so I couldn't say for sure; but I agree with other respondents that the shield only covers the face and should cause no interference with a docking device.

No will not dock but it does have a seperate lightning port u can use for charging. I would not advise buying this product.

I just checked out the picture of your case on-line, and don't believe it will allow the connector to 'connect' without taking off the case. I ended up with a very slim hard case that leaves the top and bottom free of coverage - this is the only one I don't have to take off before charging.Hope this helps!

It canNOT be docked with this case on! You have to remove both the hard plastic and silicone covers to plug it in. This is the only flaw that I have found in the RooCase design.

I pitched for my iPhone MOPHIE 5 helium battery case and it does not allow case to mount. I now have in shoe box for a relative to clam at next thanksgiving dinner. I can't find a dock for my MOPHIE? Any ideas?

Mophie does sell a dock for this case. I use it and it is great. Check mophie.com

Do you realize that this is not a dock, it is just a phone holder? It will not charge your battery while sitting there. Other than that I don't know the answer to your question.

You can not dock the iPhone 5 but you can attach it with a 3.5mm aux cable.

Yes. :) I put mine horizontally, so the recharging cable is to the side. I don't think it's as stable if you put the iPad vertically portrait style though. I have an exact same one for my iPhone, they sit next to each other on my desk. Works great for me.
