I had to purchase a cord with a male - female (purchased from Amazon) and it worked great. I was also able to use my iPad this way. However, after I did the ios7 software update, both my iPhone and iPad would no longer work at all. They showed an error of not compatible with the device. I contacted Apple and after 1/2 hour and a lot of queries they said I would have to contact the company and ask for an upgrade to the Alyec Lansing. There is no possible way of upgrading. Good luck if you try it. It is fantastic if it works.

I would say; maybe/probably. Sorry, don't know for sure. Try Altec lansing directly, they could probably tell you.

No. No dock will accommodate the Lifeproof or any other multi-piece protective case.

Since I only have an iPhone I can't answer your question about he iPod docking.

Yes, though only if it is a slim case. There is an insert on the dock that can be removed if using a case.

No, you have to remove the case to use the dock but I love it anyway. It has really protected my tablet.

Thanks for the question. Most cases fit on the dock with no trouble, there is enough space for almost any thickness case, e.g. Otterbox cases fit fine. However, depending on how your case is designed, the audio and USB plugs may or may not fit through the case. In most instances it's OK, but if your case has unusually small openings for the audio and USB ports it might be a problem.

It really depends on the thickness of the "thin case" and whether or not you want to "squeeze" it in the dock or not. I have a "thin" case too, but quit using it because it was to tight of squeeze (for me). If you want to contact me offline, I'd be glad to answer specific questions via email/phone call or even show you the dock via "Google Hangouts". Use the "msn" dot com email; put blaqhawk@ before it, and I'll answer any questions you might happen to have. -Adam

I have an iPod. It did not fit in the docking station in a rubber bumper case. Since I got tired of taking the iPod in and out of the case, I have stopped using the case.

Hi Joseph. I think my iPod dates from around the same time. The iPod itself has no facility for a lanyard, so I'm not sure whether you have a version that does and are asking whether the case would interfere? Or, whether the case itself has a lanyard option. If the latter, then, no there's no lanyard option on the case which fits snugly to the device. Hope that's some help :O) I would say, that I'm still using the Shades case as it's the best option, bar a difficult to fit Invisible Shield, that's out there, that I've seen.

I can't, I don't run a case, but there is quite a bit of extra space around the dock it pretty much sits on top and almost floats, so the only problem would be the length of the connector, if its long enough to fit in the slot through the case.

I don't think you should have an issue! If you have a case of any kind on it, you may just have to remove that, but otherwise, I feel they give you plenty of room to fit your device on the dock!

Yes, with the usual caveat: if you have a case, you will almost certainly need to remove it to dock the iPhone. I bought a cheap Minisuit case, and modified it slightly with scissors to permit it to dock.

I use the sony official dock, but I can tell you the problem I faced since they have a similar build (unless you get the one with the case holder, which I wasn't willing to try). The charging side of this case comes up way to far, so I had to trim the case back about a inch, wasn't really hard few swipes with a exacto knife and i was able to cleanly snap it off.The real problem with the case is the weight, it tends to pull the phone backwards, so i have to position the case correctly to use the dock, it sounds more of a hassle than it actually is. Hope this helps.

You can definitely good it back. Not sure if it will stay in a dock though but three case comes off easily so you would probably do better by just removing it

Yes you will have to take your case off each time to use the dock station as it has a back part to it that holds the phone upright. Still would be something to consider as it is a very neat little device, I love mine!!!

Just and FYI for everyone out there who has a second generation itouch. The charging capability of any of the periphial docking devices that you have to play your itouch on are no longer supported by the second generation. The first generations are fine but a small programming change was made to the second generation that caused this to happen. So it's not the fault of the docking device you purchased- it's the Itouch itself. The only thing you can do is charge it using a Apple compatable charger but you won' t able to listen to it while charging Sorry.. I just got this news after purchasing my new itouch and calling the store where I bought it. Just and FYI for everyone out there who has a second generation itouch.
