Nano 3G Case Compatibility: Hi, just wondering if a 3rd Generation Nano can successfully be docked with this unit if the Nano is in a case?

It has a better chance with the Athena because it doesn't use adapters that prevent the iPod for engaging. But you have to have a case that has an open slit on the bottom. (Some people simply cut out the bottom strip of elastic or leather, though by doing so you sacrifice some of the iPod's tight fit.)

It has a 30 pin dock connector. If your nano uses something other than a 30 pin connector, you may be able to get an adaptor to fit. Check with Apple, 1-800-MY-APPLE, for compatibility questions.

Lexow, Did you manage to get the iphone 4G on it - with a case? The idea of removing the case just to dock the phone doesnt appeal.

Yes and no. It is compatible withiPod nanos, unless it's a seventh generation like ours. Seventh generation has same charging plug in as an iPhone 5, we just plugged in an adaptor on top and it works perfectly, just sits up higher when charging.

Yes. That's what I have now and it works just fine.Like the other reviewer said, it doesn't fit w a case (but neither did my 3 or 4. I just take the case off, no problem.

It's apparently compatible with the first generation Nano, since there's an adaptor in theor for it. HOWEVER -- It is NOT compatible with Generation II Nano -- I just tried it (having just bought a new Nano 8 gb). I should not be so harsh -- You can hang the new nano on the plug, and the nano is light enough that it holds OK. But, I'd be more comfortable if the adaptor was in there, since it would be more likely to be held without damaging the plug/socket.

I'm wondering the same thing. I actually need information regarding the 3G, but I figure the power supply compatibility will be the same.

Oops! I answered I don't know instead of "answering" the question. I have a 5th generation Nano. I hope this helps you! :)

Thanks for your detailed response. Do you know if the 6thG Classic will still charge when docked to (for example) a clock radio?? I read that the 4thG Nano will still play music from such a device, but no longer charge the battery(unlike 3rdG Nano). I find this really annoying ...

If your Nano is brand new, the answer is it will not work with this JBL unless you also have an adapter. The docking portion of the unit is compatible with previous generation 30-pin connectors, not the small connectors of the new Apple generations.

I have the latest iPhone 4S and it works marvelously. I love the sound of this docking station. I know the connection changed wtih the iPhone 5, and it will not work with this docking station (w/o an adaptor). I do not know what the connection is for your 7th generation iPod Nano, but if it differs from the iTouch and iPhone 4 connection, then it probably won't work w/o an adapter (adaptor must fit the iPhone 4 and earlier).

I have an *OG* iphone 3G if you will and unless they have changed stuff on it since it first came out, I can say I have never had any kind of problems with any original cables or head phone equipment or it's equivalent. If it says it's supposed to work with the I phone 3G and it's put out buy apple it will work with this case.

unfortutately I dont have a nano... it has the normal (previous versions, not the new one) ipod connection, and an extra smaller cradle.

Just checked with my daughter and she has never docked it. But I inspected the case and it is pretty thick around the edges so I am assuming that you may not be able dock the device. The cutout for the lightning plug is fairly large so it may work

Absolutely no problem seating the iPod Nano on the Bose SoundDock Series III speaker for playing/charging. The case is pliable and not a hindrance.

no because it fits tightly to the ipod nano itself. any other case or accessory will make it impossible to work.
