It works, I guess...
I bought this product because I was excited about the fact that someone had created a clock with Android compatability. This thing works, in a technical sense (in that it tells time and charges your phone) but the usefulness stops there. There is no real compatibility or interface between the clock and your Android. There is a micro USB cable, and a standard headphone cable (both of which must be plugged in for this to work; and by "work" I mean it charges your device and allows you to use the clock as a speaker). That's it. Otherwise it's a pretty mediocre alarm clock. The clock has 4 brightness settings: 1. blinding, 2. way too bright, 3. still too bright, 4. and off. The dimmest visible setting was bright enough to bother me while I was trying to fall asleep. The clock has an alarm on it with a nice big convenient SNOOZE button in the middle. But if you want to use your phone as the alarm, (thereby making use of the "compatability") the snooze button does nothing. You have to use your phone as the interface. My Galaxy Nexus looked as if it would fit quite nicely in the dock, but after trying a few combinations of cables sticking out every which way, I discovered that the only way this would "work" wold be with my device bobbing around precariously with all of its weight on the micro USB cable. This made me pretty uncomfortable, as a bump or jolt could potentially snap the phone off of the cable, breaking the cable, the phone, or both. I returned this thing after a week of trying to like it. But it's basically broken. I'd recommend getting a nice phone dock instead. This thing is a trumped up alarm clock that provides the "convenience" of charging your phone. Do not recommend.
