After a long wait and a lost package my dock has finally arrived. It looks beautiful.
With my trusty old iPhone 4, it works very nice, especially the low friction connector ensures that I can easily take it out with one hand. It is designed to allow you to use it with the iPhone in a case, so there is a 5mm margin to each side. This means that without a case the iPhone looks a bit lost on the dock, it looks much better with a bumper attached. The bumper however ever so slightly increases the distance to the dock receptor in the iPhone, which means that slight movements caused by interacting with the iPhone in the dock can displace it, and cause it to loose the connection. This doesn’t happen with a pure iPhone, the connection is then very robust.
Unfortunately, the current iPhone 5 adapter uses the original lightning cable, which has too much friction for one handed operations. So 5 users need to wait until their search for a better solution is successful.
