After reading many reviews and listening to the sound of competing and more expensive models at different retailers, the price for this made it worth a try. I am very pleasantly surprised in a number of ways. First, in terms of sound, it is pretty impressive for such a small device. It definitely is not a unit to crank, but that's not the point. On the other hand, it fills our bedroom with reasonable quality sound when played at low to mid volumes. The lows are a little thin, but vocals come though very crisply and the mid-range is totally acceptable. Simply put, it sounds bigger than it is, but it is not a sound system.

Second, the form factor is very appealing. It is a smaller unit than the pictures make it appear which is a plus for the nightstand in my opinion. The clock is dimmable and it is a very mellow orange tone. Consequently, it is totally visible, but does not light the room at night. It is slimmer and very understated in its appearance. My wife commented positively on its appearance, which is a rarity for most electronics.

I have read comments that are negative about the controls, but I see no problems. I actually like the dial control on top. I have some concern about the app for iPhone, but I will defer comment and judgment until I have used it for a while. As with most devices these days, the instructions are weak, so i will play with it on weekends until confident it will work reliably.

The dock options are good, but I have an iPhone case with a dock protector. So, I purchased the blue cel dock extender for $7 (high quality product as well!) rather than take the phone out of its case each night and synch is perfectly fine even with the extender.

The remote is a nice addition, but really it is best for adjusting volume and skipping song to song. Jumping between albums, playlists, etc, needs to be done from the the phone/ipod.

At the $45 +/price point, it is an outstanding value. Sound quality and appearance are very slick for the money. Initial impressions are very good. Solid option for an iPhone alarm clock!

Update: If you do not synch regularly, this clock is not a great time keeper. It adds 2-3 minutes per week if not synched with my phone. Not a big deal, but a little silly in this day and age.

Out of the box, it works great, sounds great, even looks pretty good. However, I started noticing over the course of a couple weeks it runs fast. How does a digital clock run fast? Well, that's a mighty fine question, I wish I knew. But about ever month or so I have to reset the time because it drifts ahead about 5-10 minutes. I can live with that. But now, as a previous review noted, it's started to ignore the alarm times and go off whenever it feels like. This is obviously not acceptable for an alarm clock and is worrying to say the least. Stay away from this model.

OMG, this would have been the best alarm clock if it worked consistently. Unfortunately, the ipod/iphone option suddenly stopped working after about the second week (for apparently no reason). This wasn't a make-it-or-break-it feature, so we just switched to the radio option. This seemed to work well for the next few months, with the exception of one morning when the alarm just didn't go off for seemingly no reason. Wrote that off to human error and kept using for a few more weeks without that happening again. Noticed that the clock kept reading a few minutes ahead of the time on my iphone (wasn't using clock to charge iphone since option to wake up to iphone tracks stopped working), so plugged in iphone and time immediately updatednot a huge deal. Then, this morning alarm failed to turn on for both mine and husband's settings even though everything was set-up correctly (ie: both alarm & time set to am, volume set to medium, no snooze). That was the last straw as I am a very light sleeper and there is no way I missed 2 separate alarms. Only had clock for about 5 months and never abused it, but no longer works. What a waste of money! I should have listened to the negative reviews that were posted before buying. All the features (iphone, dimmer, separate speaker for separate alarms, etc.) along with the reasonable price made this clock seem irresistible, but it's a piece of junk! Too bad the company who makes it didn't do a better job because I think this could've been a best seller if it actually worked:(

I got this item as a Christmas present for my wife. She wanted an alarm clock that would allow her to dim the display. The unit looks great and appears to be well built. The only part she has had some issues with is the ease of use, especially of the downloadable app. She had some problems figuring out how to set it correctly (in the interim, she had a couple mornings in which her alarm didn't go off as expected), and the iPod time seemed to unexplicably go out of synch with the clock time. After a bumpy start, I think she has the hang of it now... at least she's getting awakened every morning at the right time!

I was looking for an alarm clock that would charge my phone without removing my otterbox case. Check. Nice, dark display. Check. Controls...the "scrolly circle" is a little odd, but works okay.

However, I wish the alarm was easier to set, and included "day of the week" choices so i don't have to manually disable each weekend.
