How do you get the ipad seated on the dock?

Can not have any type of case on it all. The iPad needs to be just slightly angled back to set it in to place. If its not to late for you I'd return it. It's a pain.

I don't know if I can help you, actually we have an iPad Air fixed in. It works very well.

This dock is a plug in item like all docks . . . instead of plugging your charger cable into the iPad, you first plug into the rear of the dock, in this case it is a keyboard dock . . . then you seat the iPad into the iPad connection that allows you to view the screen. Typically, all docks are a secondary charging mechanism that allows another mechanism(the dock connection) in front of the original(iPad) charging connection. The iPad charges while you use the keyboard.

The cases shouldn't hinder &#65279;the device being placed into a dock. There's an opening on &#65279;the bottom of them cases that allow you to attach either a charger cable, or place it in a dock.

I bought an extender for the dock. It will fit much better with an extender if you are using a case.

I paired with my ipad2 but it doesn't play properly with any of the three docks I've tried.

I would also be interested to know if you can dock the iPad in landscape mode

I had the same issue and was actually trying to sell mine since it wasn't working. Decided to try with an older iPad and heard a click when I pushed it in and worked great. So I tried again with my newer iPad. If you push a little harder eventually you will hear a click sound and it will dock. Never had the issue with any other type of dock, but apparently this one takes a little more to get it to connect. Originally I felt like it was connecting but apparently I wasn't pushing it in far enough. The more I have docked it the easier it is getting to work. I'm now running iOS 7 and it is still working just fine.

The amount of space you have in which to rest the iPad is just under 3/4 inch. Hope this helps.

I believe you can fold the keyboard under and use it as a pad. The best way is to remove the keyboard from the Ipad device and use it as a pad.

It all depends on the case you have for your iPad. The new Targus case I have does not fit in the docking station unless I only use the back flap of the case in the slot provided to prop the iPad up. So to answer the question the iPad itself is not in the docking slot, rather cover for my iPad sits in the slot and works perfectly well in my situation. My wife has a Oberon case and does not fit in the slot at all. I think the docking station was designed for the iPad to be used without any protective case, with seems like an oversite. The dimension of the slot the iPad sits in is 11/16 inch wide, 1/2 inch deep, with the bak plate it rests on 1 1/4 inch high. If I can be of any further help let me know.

No. But you can get an adapter very cheaply on ebay that will fit the dock. That's what I did with my older iPod.

Hi - No dock. A chip is embedded in the case. The chip works with my Powermat (and other such devices). The Powermat is NOT included.

I don't have the dock, the connection is in the very bottom, so I would assume you could attach the keyboard right to it. Sorry

Unfortunately you have to take it off to put it on the dock but the way I see it is for spending less than $5 it's okay. Hope this helps.

Peel off the plastic that covers the sticky pad. place tablet squarely on it. Press lightly then let sit for about 10 minutes and its good to go super easy!

Unfortunately NO !!!Amazon have not answered my complain about the problem of fittinf the dock with the tablet. I learned from other answers that this is a real problem which was later fixed by a later hardware version of the dock, but I was not oferred this solution....yet..
