My sister bought me this as a gift and I love it. The color changing is really cool. Its not too bright at night, but you can also dim it. Small and doesn't take uo a lot of room. I also like how my i-Phone fits in the dock. On some of these devices, you have to take the cover off of your phone but with this one, I didn't have to. It also comes with attachments to better hold your Nano. Also when you attach to dock, it automatically syncs the time and day. The sound is pretty good, I wish you could make simple adjustments like lowering bass, etc but not a big deal. Very simple to use. I think this makes a great gift! Thanks, Sis!!!

Buy iHome iP18W Color-Changing 30-Pin iPod/iPhone Alarm Clock Speaker Dock Now

I purchased this iHOME Ip18W iPhone/iPod Led Color-Changing Dual Alarm Clock Speaker System, based on two things:

1. The look of item.

2. The review a woman had posted on Amazon.com, saying that she could easily charge her iPhone without removing its cover/case.

It just arrived, and I'm delighted to say that this device is ADORABLE!!! Great, small footprint on my desk...and I can "freeze" the neon color on "Pink," my favorite color!

Best of all, I can place my iPhone with its hard pink case right into the dock! On my previous iHome clock/charger, I had to bend the dock's pin forward to get it to accept my iPhone, and even then, I could barely get it to fit.

Now...it's a perfect fit, and this clock looks absolutely beautiful!!! And it changes from zero to 100% in about 30 minutes.

GREAT PURCHASE!!!

Thank you, Amazon.com, iHome and especially the previous reviewer!!

For every button, I have to press it >10 times in order for it to work. E.g. volume up/down button, LED color. That makes it hugely annoying to use. I also try to sync the clock with multiple ipods and it is consistently 1 hour behind the CT time zone. I haven't found a setting on the clock to fix it. Seems odd that there would be a setting if the point is to sync the time in the first place.

Very disappointed with this Speaker Dock. The Item did not work out of the box for controlling the iPod. Colors transitioned very nicely, and would charge the iPod and that was all it was good for. No matter what we tried we could not get the buttons to play the iPod or control the volume. This is our second iHome item and the first one (iHome-iA9SZC) worked great.

I bought this alarm based mostly on the positive reviews that I read on this site. Here are my thoughts.

Pros

-It looks cool.

-The color changing is neat.

-It's easy to fit your iPhone without having to take the case off.

Cons

-When I use the music option, the song stops playing after a minute or two. This is a huge problem for be, because when the music stops playing I fall back asleep.

-If, say, your cat rubs against the phone and dislodges it from the base a little bit, the alarm makes no noise at all when it goes off.

-It's really hard to read the time on the clock unless the brightness is set to the brightest setting; the brightest setting lights up my room to the point where I can't sleep.

I kept it for a couple of weeks and gave it away to a friend. I bought the SoundFreaq tower clock instead, and it's really neat. I especially appreciate that if the phone is dislodged, the alarm clock just sounds a buzzer instead of playing music.
