![]() With such a wide range of cases and case sizes, creating a dock that can house a cased-iPhone seems like an unbearable task. Unfortunately, those cases create havoc for iPhone dock makers. ![]() When you reach to undock your phone in the morning, does the dock stay put? Or does it require one hand to remove the dock and a second hand to keep the dock situated on your desk or nightstand? People’s needs may differ here, but the perfect iPhone dock for me will only require one hand to dock and undock an iPhone at the beginning or end of each day.Ĭase Compatibility: Unlike me, people love to keep their iPhone protected with a case or screen protector. “Stay Put-ability”: This is much along the lines of support and stability, but I found this feature to be one of my most important requirements. If the iPhone just rests on the connector, can a bleary-eyed, half-asleep person rely on it to stay put when they reach for it? Can you tap your iPhone screen with your index finger and know you won’t accidentally topple the dock? And, as an added bonus, can the dock support larger iOS devices like the iPhone 6s Plus or the lineup of iPads? The perfect iPhone dock will keep your iPhone stable when tapping it or reaching for it in its dock and may even have the ability to rest your iPad in it as well. Support and Stability: As mentioned above, an iPhone dock isn’t much good if you feel worried each time you connect your iPhone at the end of the day. In my book, the perfect iPhone dock is going to combine looks and stability for your iPhone. Some docks in this list were clearly made with a visual aesthetic as the primary purpose, while others were made for stability and support purposes. The list of feature requests here could be endless, but these are a few I focused my attention on over the last few weeks.ĭesign and Build Quality: This is a no-brainer on the front, but I was surprised at the wide variety of dock designs and the equally wide variety of build qualities when doing this test. I’m also willing to bet my needs will be fairly standard across the board.įirst though, let’s see what those needs are. I have quickly come to realize what I value in an iPhone dock and what I find superfluous and unnecessary. I’m now convinced that not just any dock is good enough to house my iPhone each night. Over the last few weeks, I’ve tried six different iPhone docks with six different sets of features and qualities. When I was asked to test a variety of the best docks on the market, I couldn’t say no. ![]() An iPhone dock eliminates all that extra cruft. We all can agree that extra wires and clutter on your desk can be unnecessarily distracting. I’ve spilled that glass of water more times than I can count, but have yet to do so with my iPhone in a dock.ĭocks work great on a desk as well. When I turn over at 3:00AM as a half-zombie to check how much longer I can sleep, it’s far easier - and safer, with the glass of water on my nightstand - to have my iPhone docked and the screen pointed in my direction. ![]() With the amount I use my iPhone, resting it in a proper, elegant throne at the end of the day only seems fair. Unlike iPhone cases, I love iPhone docks. ![]()
