Needed for the office, a loading dock because I was tired of always somewhere to fumble the 4s to the computer. The 4s fit it with a protective case, as the dock connector can be pushed slightly forward. Phone sits wonderfully straight on the connector. Nothing is loose. The charging cable connector comes back off to the side - he would not back off you would need alongside the dock still place so that the cable can run without any kinks. For the cheap price but you can not complain overall.
