I bought this dock knowing VERY WELL that I would need to modify my case to use it. After doing so, the phone fits very well in this dock. The modification to the case only took a few minutes with small wire cutters and an emory board. I use a thicker case for my iPhone 5an OtterBox Case. I posted a picture for all to see. The dock itself is very well made. I have two of them and they both work greatvery solid. If you don't use a case (or a thin case), you'll need to put something (like felt pads) on the dock to support it as there will be much space between the back of the phone and the dock itself.
The cable itself is pleasantly long...enough for me to comfortably move the dock around on my desk.
I have a thin case but be aware there is only about 4mm space between the front of my iPhone and the raised edge of the dock...4mm of space for your case (front and back).
The only complaint I have with this is it's a bit expensive...but I knew that going in.This is an update to a previous review for this product. Amazon accidentally sent me the Belkin Charge and Sync Dock with Audio Port for iPhone 5 which has a major design flaw. Now that I have the correct product in hand, I have nothing but accolades for it.
I searched forever to find a well made, yet simple docking station for my 5th generation iPod Touch. I wasn't looking for anything with speakers, a clock or anything else, just a well built docking station. Finally, I ran across this product made by Belkin. Since I own several other Belkin products, I was sure that I wouldn't be disappointed and I wasn't. Before going any further, please note that the dock mentioned above, the Belkin Charge and Sync Dock with Audio Port for iPhone 5, which was originally sent to me by mistake is awful. It requires the use of your own cord and does not work well at all. You can read the reviews for that one elsewhere. All I can say is don't buy it, purchase the one listed here instead. This one performs flawlessly.
I purchased this to attach to the USB port on my Grace Mondo Internet radio. It charges the iPod Touch very rapidly and enables me to listen to the music stored on the iPod through the Internet radio, without having to bring it back for constant recharging on my computer. I do need to remove the iPod from the dock to use the iPod with the radio, but that's a cinch. Replacing it in the dock is also a no-brainer. An added plus is the ability to dock the device without the need to remove it from its case.
The bottom line is that this dock performs flawlessly and is a breeze to use. Its design is simple, yet elegant, very much along the line of Apple made products. There are no negatives at all and the quality is what I've come to expect from Belkin. This one gets 5 stars.I bought this to make charging more convenient. But, the i-Phone 5 won't fit unless you remove the case. Kind of defeats the purpose.
There is a raised portion of the charger that is raised above the floor of the dock. About the size of the 30 pin connector. That ledge hits the case before the lightning connector can plug in all the way.
Bummer, probably a nice item, but I sent mine back.
My first ever Amazon return.This "dock" is a piece of garbage with a serious design flaw if you're like me and prefer not to use a case: the lightning connector is the only thing holding the phone in place, unless you use a case with exactly the right thickness.
After you dock the phone, there's at least 1/2 to 1 entire iPhone that could fit between it and the thing that's supposed to support it, as another review has mentioned. Furthermore, if you let the docked iPhone sit there for a while, the lightning connector base will, after 30 seconds or so, bend backward so the phone rests against the top edge of the back support.
This is clearly meant for people who have cases which are the right thickness... if you're going caseless, don't waste your time.
Returned mine today.
