My first cord locked onto the IPad but the one I am currently using does not and continually falls off, does this one lock on?

Yes, that is i e feature that I am finding nice about.. It locks on nicely. It even charges if the plug is 1/2 way out!

Unlike most of the commenters here, I find mine continually falling out and it does not have reliable locking mechanism. Of course if you are conscientious, and no one brushes by in your vicinity, well then, it may be good enough. Just don't sneeze (kidding...sort of).

It is not as good as the original Apple branded cord but it is better than another that I had. I'm satisfied, especially since it is long enough that I am not constantly yanking on it.

I've used the cord to charge both iPads and iPhones with no failing to release (locking) problems when I pulled on the cord or slipping off without pulling on the cord.

Well, i've had no problem with cord becoming unfastened from the iPad. Actually, just the opposite. I've had a hard time getting the 30 pin connector into the iPad's connection port. The connection is "stiff" to make, but once made seems to hold fast.

attach the non locking end on first--then attach the locking side and pull down on the cord..you need some tension on the cord

Mines do cut my ipad off when i close it. Maybe check your swivel piece & clamp it back & tighten it or contact the seller. But i had no problems

There is a small flap that tucks in behind the iPad to hold it in the case. Mine has never fallen out. You could put a small piece of Velcro on the flap to keep it more secure.

Mine was giving me trouble. I disconected the keyboard and turned off the iPad and back on and reconnected and it worked again.

It works. I recently bought a used unit, which worked intermittently. I discovered that some wires were broken. The wires are delicately soldered. Therefore, when you disconnect the plug from the iPad, you must hold the plug and not pull the wire housing.

No, you should also know that the top clip that holds the IPad is very fragile. I had to replace mine the first time stand tipped over. This means replacing the entire IPad holder.

One end of the cable has a small loop on it and the other has the lock part. You wrap the locking end around any type of secure object (post, unmovable table leg, etc., and then thread it through the small loop and then lock it onto the case. Just about any type of object that can't be carried off and will enclose a section of the cable so it can't be removed without unlocking it, will work - you are just limited by the size of the object. I think the cable length is about 3 feet? It should be in the description. This means the larger the object you wrap it around the less play you have on the other end of the cable when you are trying to use your Ipad.

Mine didn't work either and they kindly refunded the money. I was trying to use it from the Ipad to HDMI or USB into the tv. They acknowledged that was not the intention of the cord. I bought mine at Walmart for $39.00

They have a video showing how to do it here: http://www.locklaces.com/blog/learning-center/how-to-reopen-and-reinstall-the-cord-clip/If it doesn't seem to come out right away, you might be prying from the wrong side. Try the other opening. When I did it popped right open.

Ours didn't work at all....but it was purchased for an iPad 2. Maybe that was the problem? I doubt it. We since bought the one from Apple for $29 and it works great. It's not worth messing with a knock-off on this kind of thing!

Hi Ann,I've had mine for quite a while. As much as the "visual" design is beautiful, unfortunately, the "functional" design has issues ... All related to one area ... The tightening screw on the back, which is supposed to keep the desires position of the stand "locked in"Unfortunately, the screw mechanism is not built well. If you tighten too much, it will break, if you don't, then after one or two 'put in/take out' visits by your iPad, it all gets loose and wobbly. So for your proposed usage area, I think this piece might be a bit fickle and sensitive to touch. Mine is for home use, so it meets my needs. But you might need something more rigid that holds the iPad more strongly. Just trying to give an honest feedback. Hi Ann,I've had mine for quite a while.

Had a little trouble pulling out the cord for the Iphone too. Just tug a little harder, it get's easier the more times you plug it in.

No, not in my case (ah situation no pun intended)...my opinion is based on the fact I got a ZAGG case for my wife's iPad and its working just fine...BUT my MINI case keys stick and I can't use it anymore... so its sitting on my shelf waiting for me to junk it or send it back to the factory...yes I admit to laziness, but why are the keys sticking? Did I drop it or did I

Honestly i dont think so it barley stays connect and it constantly just falls out of the ipad

Well, when I first got it, I used it for my 1st generation iPad and it worked fine for about a month. After I did the recent update on the iPad, the charger stopped working. It would start to charge, then it would stop as if the connection was bad. I started using a different after market brand and it worked fine. The seller has offered to send me a replacement and I am expecting it to arrive shortly. I was going to update my review after using the replacement.

I have an ipad 2 that it works with, but I do want to warn people that the sound went out and it stated that my ipad was still connected to a dock after i started using this cord. I don't know if the cord was the issue or if my ipad 2 was just at its end, but I would say that be cautious purchasing non apple products for your apple items now. Otherwise it works well. I would assume it would work with ipad first gen since its the 30 pin connector.
