LYCO Universal Dock Adapter - Dock an iPhone in a case

I bought this because my iPhone wasn't working well with my iHome iP9 clock radio. My iPhone has a thin case, which prevents the use of the standard adapter inserts. Consequently, the iPhone places a strain on the dock connector, which over time had become less reliable, presumably because of this.

Experimenting, I found that pulling forward on the iPhone would cause the connection to work correctly, so I sought an adapter that would fill this function.

This product seemed like it might work, and I'm happy to report that it does. It attaches to the iHome iP9 fairly well and provides good support to my iPhone with the case on it. My iPhone now charges and plays sound through the iHome device, so I do not need to buy a new clock radio.

This is a great idea for the product but you must make sure it fits. On their website it says that it fits most universal docking stations. The key is that the surface it goes on must be flat. I have a ihome ip90 it will not fit this because the top has a slight arch to it. Make sure your docking station has a flat surface and it should work great. They also have great customer service by the makers of this product. They responded quickly and friendly to my email.

I have a iPhone 4 with a slim case and a bumper case, docking station is an iHome IA90. Using the slim case and no bumper the adapter semi works, though the adapter itself does not lock in.

The slightest touch makes the adapter pop out. Using the iPhone bumper (bumper that goes on the phone, not the sticky ones for the adapter, not sure why they called them the same as a case bumper...) does not work at all, with or without the sticky bumpers that attach to the adapter itself.

I can get the phone to sit in the adapter but it does not make a connection unless the phone is propped just a tab bit forward when using the bumpers or about a quarter of an inch when not using the bumpers.

Either way with a phone in the adapter or not, the slightest touch makes the adapter pop out of the docking station.

I have emailed the company with hopes that it's simply the one that I purchased, will update with any information I get.

This works fine with an iPhone 4 in Apple's bumper case. Fits well and provides support using the included "bumpers" (stick on rubber pads). I don't care for the black on top of the white dock, but hey I don't have to remove the bumper case.
