Does the dock play audio via the microusb when phone is docked, or do you HAVE to connect it to bluetooth?

Quite honestly the only real way I can get this to really play good is via Bluetooth.

I use it with the wired SoundDock and it charges when its docked. From my understanding, it charges with the Portable too.

I don't know what "other model" you are referring to. I've had this dock for a while now, and I'm happy with it. I usually keep the cell phone on it when I'm not actually using it. There is a switch on the back of the dock - I keep mine plugged in with the power adapter. The other side of the switch is, presumably, an audio setting, but I've never used it. Is that the audio out you refer to?

Yes you can, you just need to connect an aux cable or audio Y adapter to the dock or connect the aux cable directly to the speaker.

I was trying to find the answer to this my-self. According to iphone review here "http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/10570/" it charges and output to speaker. But the dock does not close.

I have an iPhone5 and older model Bose Sound Dock and it works fine. Bluetooth was easy to set up. The only limitation is how far you can go away from the Dock while carrying the phone. I leave the phone near the dock, rather than in my pocket, while working or relaxing nearby.

It doesn't dock. If you can plug your usb cord into your phone without removing the case, you can do that with this as well. That said, it works through Bluetooth, not docking.

It requires another piece to be bluetooth capable. However, it might be able to make and receive calls while docked (seeing as it's an iphone), I'm not sure.

The bluetooth is on need to trun it off. while its on the dock go in setting go to wireless and networks (i think) and uncheck bluetooth and then you wont hear it ring while on the dock

Only apple products that use the original charger can be docked, unless you buy the pin converter for newer devices. You can play music from any device with an auxiliary port/headphone jack.

It works with the clip zip, but only using the speaker plug, not the micro usb, b/c of where it's positioned, so any features that go along with that hook-up are lost. Using the speaker jack works just fine & you can slide the clip of the clip zip into the slot meant to hold the model intended for the unit, so it is capable sitting in the dock. I'm very happy with it. So much that I bought a 2nd one. Hope this helps.

No dock, just an headphone jack, bluetooth connection and maybe a storage compartment for your phone.

Yes u can connect ur iPod directly to the Bose docking base no connection needed or use an auxiliary jack to connect no need to buy blue tooth device

Only through a rear auxiliary port. There is no USB connection. the three options to play are the front dock, auxiliary or Bluetooth.

Im sure what other model you refer to but, the charger that plugs into this dock CAN also be used to charge your phone. I have used it many times for that matter. It does not have an audio out function though.

It doesn't dock..it is a Bluetooth speaker. I play the music I have on my phone and through Pandora on my phone. Love it!!
