How does it connect to the iPhone or iPod? Can it be plugged into a USB charger at same time if this doesn't charge the device?

It connects using the 3.5mm earphone jack. The male end and cord are connected to the lamp, just plug it into your iPhone / iPad. And yes, you can plug your device into a USB charger at the same time you are using the lamp.

It connects through the headphone jack. I would assume you could have it charging at the same time. I have not ever tried to. I bought these for my kids.

It charges via mini USB, however, I wouldn't waste my time with this one if I were you. It worked to charge my iPhone the first time I used it, but after that point, I could fully charge the case, however, the iPhone would not recognize it when connected.

It connects via USB. So unless there's an adapter then it's not iPad compatible. I'm not sure there is an adapter for that.

It doesn't have USB port. You can connect your ipod by Audio In, or Bluetooth.

It does not charge my iPhone, I've tried. I imagine it would not charge any other devices either. I believe the USB port is used solely for flash drives.

There is a charging chord that comes with it. I believe it plugs into the regular plug that comes with your iPhone. I ended up returning mine because it heated up and didn't charge as well as I thought it would.

Hi Clarissa, The dock has a fixed cable, that cannot be disconnected, that has a USB plug on the other end. Just connect it to a USB plug (The Apple one that came with your phone for example) and then plug that into the wall. You can also connect the dock to any USB plug, laptop, car etc, and it will also charge i believe, however i do not believe it passes data (music etc) although i have not tried it.

The USB is powered, so if you connect this to your stereo per the instructions (by connecting to the rear USB and auxiliary connections on your stereo), the USB will charge whatever device you plug into it. So, if you need to charge your iPod, for example, it will charge. HTH

this charger works with any usb. I use an adapter that goes from the usb to my iphone 4s. so if you can find a usb adapter that goes to the ipod, you will be fine

Note: I don't have any iPod devices so I can't be 100% sure... however, this device should be able to charge any device that you accepts micro-USB input for charging... or any device that uses a USB plug to connect to a charger. I hope that's helpful and not too confusing =). The cord supplied with the device (about 6" long) is USB on one side, and micro-USB on the other side. You plug the USB side into the battery pack (this port only used to connect devices that need to be charged - i.e. output only) and micro-USB side into the device you want to charge. You may reverse the cord and plug the USB side into your computer USB port, or a wall charger with a USB port and the micro-USB side into the micro-USB port on the battery pack (this port is only used to charge the battery pack - i.e. input only) when you need to recharge the battery pack (you can also plug just about any wall charger with a micro-USB connector on it directly to the battery pack for charging if you prefer).

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.

No, it doesn't. You have to plug this device to a charger, then once it's charged up, just remove it from the plug and you're good to go for a back up charger on your iPhone or iPad.

I have only plugged my iPod into it. The iPhone will not fit into the slot. So unless there is some kind of attachment cord that could be used to plug the iPhone in, I don't think it would work. Believe this is meant to be used with an iPod. I do love this purchase.

You can charge via USB with its microUSB port. What I prefer to do is to use an Apple iPhone charger to trickle charge it slowly, or the larger, 2 amp iPad charger when I predict I'll need it sooner rather than later. Hope this answer helps.

The item comes with a cord for charging. We use the USB port in the computer or you can use any USB port electric converter plug. This device can charge your cell and iPod and an Android phone at same time! SUCH A HANDY TOOL! My husband has iPhone, I have Note II, we can charge both!

Use your regular cable that runs up from the bottom and will work just fine. I have charged iPad, iPod and also my Andriod on it so far and just had to change the cable. There are 2 USB ports so you can actually charge 2 things at once. Hope this helps

It will connect to the iPhone 5 but it will NOT charge it. This device connects to the headphone portion of your iPhone so it only projects the sound (a.k.a. speakers) but has not way to charge it.
