Therefore, here is my (consistently) positive experiences:
The assembly works 1a as the tool you need is not on this list. Since everything is wertig from ALU, you can screw it all well (fixed). With plastic you always fear that something "bursts" when you tighten the screws. Here also the same as the reference material for ALU. It's just easy and accordingly weighs slightly more than the docking plastic but also much less than lead or concrete (yes those docks there really is). Therefore, the status of the iPhone is stable but is eg in a iPad4's already shaky but now and then in the normal course. The problem with the undocking is perfectly normal by the nature of the Lightning connector, and the weight of the docking. But since you grab nice to walk "can", a undock without the whole thing to keep in hands possible. A shop and sync is also possible without any problems because you have to use the supplied cable from the iPhone / iPad. Now on the subject of cases. These can be used without problems, as the docking adapter for the three different mitliefert Lightning plug. This has two different distances that actually should be suitable for the common cases / Bumper. The third is designed to operate without covers.
The rear support column millimeters can be adapted exactly to the shell. This was the main reason of the purchase with me. Scratching the back should be read as here, one can rule out actually, because on top of the column is a plastic nose, 1mm keeps the rear portion of the column away. Rounding out the whole by a rubberized foot, ensuring that does not slide the docking and the one verkratz no furniture.
Conclusion: This dock has a variable use what cases and bumpers terms. The use device is supported by a rear pillar. Thus, one must not be afraid, breaking the Lightning plug or socket at some time. The design is suitable and the materials are of high quality which speaks for a long use. Perhaps only criticism: No supplied cables Lightning and it fits only the original Apple.
