🔊 iHome iDL45 Dual Charging Stereo FM Clock Radio with Lightning Dock and USB Charge/Play for iPhone/iPod/iPad (Older Model, 30 Pin Compatible) Review

If you use a case of any kind - even Apple's rather modest case - you'll need an adapter to use this dock if you don't want to remove the case every time you dock your phone on. At first I was very upset about it. This is the 4th or 5th iHome I've owned but my first Lightning iHome and all 30 pin versions came with inserts to accommodate all your iPhone/iPod needs. But not in here. However, I still love their products and "fixed" the problem with a $20 Stubz Dock adapter (don't get the cheap…

Very good for less than $100 Packaging was ok Not sure why the packaging got a bad review its just a night clock and I think the sound quality, richness and volume is crazy, it can easily fill a room, kitchen or basement. Maybe the only reason I'm giving four stars is the top dock not working with my 6th gen itouch when in its case but other than that this thing is an amazing ultra clear radio with a nice dimmable backlit display and the Buttons on the top light up and dim along with the…

This is the latest design in iHome clock radios and definitely the prettiest of them all. The display is really good - it shows the time, day of the week and date. And it sets the time and date with your iPhone or iPod Touch. I love it. Ideal for the bedroom. I keep an old iPod Classic in it and turn it on when I need music in the bedroom. I also bought another one for the office. The problem I've always had with iPod speakers is that they can't sound quiet enough for an office environment…

excellent dock. I used to have a regular USB alarm clock dock that I used to charge my new iPhone. This was a big minus for me as before the iPhone 5 I had a good docking system that worked surprisingly well. since i didn't want to spend a lot of money, i just decided to buy a cheap alarm clock with a usb connection. Big mistake. after 6 months I gave up and bought this iHome clock. light day and night. This alarm clock is just perfect. The size and brightness of the text is perfect and I can…

I bought this clock to replace an old iHome dual alarm clock that was starting to go haywire (alarm not working, dimmer not working etc.). I consider myself a "alarm clock snob" and have never found one that fits all of my wants and needs. Oh. This iHome comes very close! I bought a 30-pin lightning USB adapter to use with my old iPod nano, which I keep connected to my watch so I can wake up to my favorite music. The alternative was to buy a new iPad! But a $5 adapter versus a $500 iPad? I've…

I am replacing my first iHome which has served me well for many years (5-10) with this current model. The previous block still works, but the buttons detach from their tabs, making them float and difficult to activate. This device is a different design so I don't expect that kind of problem and it offers a lightning connector for my current iDevices. I'm pretty sure the connector at the top is really for an iPad or iPhone without a case (I have a case), so my phone doesn't work even though it…

Pro: Very good sound, appealing, easy to program despite many features, great "nap time" function, time display can be dimmed from bright to off. Note: Even a very thin case (CaseCrown) must be removed to properly dock with the device. This model does NOT have Bluetooth, so the free app only works when the phone is connected to a clock radio. We basically agree with most of the comments: the iHome iDL45BC is a great clock radio for the iPhone 6 (although there doesn't seem to be much choice…

I bought this primarily to use as a clock and charging station for my iPhone 6. I wasn't worried about the alarm clock or the radio functions as the iPhone's alarm clock works fine. I wanted us to be able to see the time and charge the phone. I'm very disappointed that the phone doesn't even fit with a minimalist bumper case (Maxboost® [Clear Cushion] iPhone 6 (4.7) Case Bumper). I had to cut off the bottom of the case to connect the damn thing. I will look for another bumper case with a fully…
