The dock charger doesnt work. When your ipad stands own it doesn't charge, you have to hold it up right so it will charge as soon you let it stand on its own the iPad doesn't recognise it's plugged in. Also the base is very small and is very easy to knock over if not careful. You also have to push it in quite hard to get it fully in which may snap off the charger in the iPad. It may be cheap but there's a reason. Do not buy this or any like it. But if you add some blue to on it, it will prop up your iPad abit and it should charge
