The ICrado is not simple to use. I was looking for a clean and simple docking station for my iPod that would help reduce clutter and prevent my iPod from falling off my desk. The iCrado is no easier to connect to an iPod than the white cable that comes with the iPod. As to the design of the unit, it is attractive but not as functional as I hoped. I have other docks for the home portable phone and a wireless mouse that are rather simple – you just get your device close and it slides in and starts charging. Not so with the iCrado. I cannot do it in the light from the computer monitor, and even with the lights on you have to get right in front of it and it pretty much takes a couple tries then you have to shift it a little to make sure it is connected – the iPod is secure once it is in and it does look good.
Overall I would not recommend this product. Although it looks good and clean, you have to fumble with it too much to dock your iPod.

I’ve owned this docking station for over a month and the overall quality has frustrated me. First the cheap plastic locking mechanism to set the cable in place is a challenge to install (two of three colleagues who purchased this device broke the plastic during the install.) The rubber grommet on the plastic sleeve is pretty useless. The two rubber “feet” used to protect your desk furniture fall off every time I move the stand (arghh!) And finally the cutout for the cable on the base doesn’t hold the cable in place (especially frustrating when moving the stand.) Not worth the money IMO.

It’s really comfortable to put on your desktop and just insert your iPhone without having to remove the case. The reason I gave it a 3 out of 5 is because the cable that comes with it keeps disconnecting my iPhone. I have an iPhone 3G 16GB, and when I plug it in it disconects and reconnects at random intervals and for random periods of time. It’s really annoying and the phone doesn’t charge as well. however you can install an apple cable instead that should fix the problem, so I think it’s still worth it, but a little annoying. This problem may not apply for iPods.

This is not a standalone dock, it is a holder for a cable, and the one provided doesn’t work with iPhone 3G.
Rubber feet that push on, but fall off when unit is moved. It looks nice, but is poorly designed. Pricey for a bent piece of metal.

Don’t let the description deceive you. I received this product today only to discover it is made of plastic, not metal.
