Kensington K39258US Nightstand Charging Dock for iPhone, including iPhone 4, iPod touch, iPod

• Charging dock holds your iPhone or iPod Touch in landscape mode using a kickstand to clearly display the time and weather
• Large, landscape display that doesn't go into sleep mode, with optional screen dimming
• Small footprint reduces nightstand clutter
• Download the Kensington Nightstand Clock & Weather application from the Apple App store at no extra cost
• Charging cable included

The Kensington K39258US Nightstand charging dock works as advertised. The charging adapter is heavy and holds the iPhone up properly in both landscape mode and portrait mode (horizontal and vertical). It is sturdy is coated in a rubber coating that helps it from sliding on smooth surfaces. The only downside is that the actual charging cable is too short. The cable is a regular USB interface into a small power brick but with it being about 2.5 feet long it may not be long enough to actually fit underneath your bed where my power outlet is. The good news is that with a USB extenstion cable you can get it to reach but who really wants to hassle with a longer cable and purchasing it. Now if your power cable is directly behind the nightstand you are in good shape. I am assuming that you would use this device as a nightclock replacement.

If you do use this clock as a replacement take note. During the day when you take the phone off the charger you will not have a clock in the room. Yes this actually posed a problem for me as I couldn't tell what time it was when the phone was in another room.

You can download the clock app for free and test it out before you buy this charger. In the iTunes app store as "Kensington".

I hope that you find this review helpful.

I read some of the reviews and was a bit leary about buying. But I took a chance and

glad I did. Works great and has a nice clock display also, has a weather feature that give the

5 day forecast in your area. You have to adjust the brightness though, otherwise the screen is too bright.

We bought this because it looked like a great way for our daughter to use her iPod as a clock and use it with a sleep CD and pillow speaker we bought for her, while still charging her iPod at night. We also really liked how small it was. So many of the docks take up so much space.

However, when you use this dock, it completely blocks the port for the sound output. We thought about trying to take part of the plastic off, but we were afraid we would break it in the process.

It would have been very nice to know before buying it that it would block an important port. Hopefully, anyone else needing this feature will see this review and find something else.

Want Kensington K39258US Nightstand Charging Dock for iPhone, including iPhone 4, iPod touch, iPod Discount?

The Kensington K39258US is a convenient charger that fits and works well with all different models of iPhone, iPod and iPod Touch. The clock function with the Kensigton application however is not very usable for one major reason. The background does not become black. It's in fact a grayish color that emits too much light in the dark. It is annoying and kept me from falling asleep. There is a brightness adjustment option in the app that adjusts the brightness of the digits or the dial but doesn't change the light emitted by the background. I had to turn off the clock app. The charger however works as expected.

It works perfectly. I have a "compass" Otter case for my iphone4 and I'm still able to plug the adapter into the phone. The clock works perfectly and it charges my iphone. Couldn't ask for anything more!
