Packaging and contents:
I have expected to house high quality and was not disappointed at first glance the packaging. It affects all voices, is nicely decorated and the content could be also easily unpack. If I have already unpacked, included the following:
1x Docking Station
1x Micro USB Cable
2x different silicone attachments, (details below)
1x Adapter for Lightning Cable
If I had not informed me precisely in advance, my next question would have been following to me: Where is the Lightning cable?!. Yes, Lightning cable included none. Normally, I would not expect this to me, but at a docking station for a price so I think it would provide the least been also Apple customers with an appropriate cable ...
Workmanship:
I looked at some docking stations and also the Bestsellers Twelve South HiRise ordered Desktop Stand. Unfortunately, however, I had to make use of my right to return. The wobbling of the dock itself and the overall concept (uner including the difficult assembly) could not convince me.
The Everdock is made of milled aluminum, harder than any docking station which I held in my hands so far and is simply high quality and clean. There is nothing to complain about in this regard.
Structure:
This is very easy and can be done quickly. Just down the plastic pull through pull (I'll get into), an Apple Lightning cable (or Micro USB Cable) and use the supplied adapter (small plastic piece for the Lightning cable) fix. Here's a little tip: The Lightning Cable (Micro USB cable) with voltage on the bottom in the intended press notches, so that it can not slip out when removing the cell phones (or a little bit loose).
Compatibility:
The dock is suitable for both smartphones with Micro USB, iPhones with Lightning and iPhones with 30 pin connector.
Because of the two different thicknesses of silicone attachments can infect the device with or without a case. For thicker cases simply the silicone attachment completely omit (4mm square to the metal part of the Lightning cable without an essay).
Use:
The Everdock has an intake system, through which it is possible to take the smartphone with one hand from the dock. Accordingly, it is not necessary to hold with one hand the dock. On my desk, this works perfectly and I am thrilled that the dock has a permanent place, not sliding around and I can remove the iPhone (in my case) pleasant.
I use my cell phone with an Apple original case and have chosen the thin silicone attachment. Because of the essay I have so not fear that any scratches caused by the dock.
It is also readily possible, an iPad mini (incl SmartCase when open) to use with the dock. The iPad is very stable in the dock and can be operated perfectly.
Criticism:
Yes ... So much for the exposure I did not this time, but a few things are improvable but then I noticed:
1. At a price of around 50 euros you can but also a Lightning cable expect (and, if possible, in black, would best fit the Space Grey variant).
2. If I have been the cable: The small plastic adapter exclusively original Apple Lightning can use cable.
3. Between cable and device, a small free gap is in my constellation. Ergo was a third silicone adapter, which is behind the same thin as the thin adapter but down a little thicker, very desirable.
Conclusion:
After a long search, I finally found a dock, with which I'm really pleased. Criticism there, but that's whining at a high level in my opinion. In my view, the Evedock one of the best docking solutions on the market. The Evedock Enjoy simple simplicity, quality workmanship and perfect service. Even if the price is really daunting at first glance, I am convinced that this is an investment for the future. Due to the high compatibility, I will most likely also have the Everdock with my next and next mobile operating.
Just post in the comments with questions. I will try my best to answer as soon as possible.
