Well, the lightning dock is still experiencing delays, so I'm going to ask for a refund and order a Braeburn dock later tonight. Hopefully I'll have it next week. 
Got a tip for us?

Their shipping wasn't super fast, but good enough for me. I ordered Friday morning and got it Wednesday.
Did you order one with a lightning cable, or the use-your-own option? Their website does a very poor job of explaining how that works. Do you plug your lightning cable into a port in the back, or do you somehow run it through the device with the end of your own lightning cable sticking up through The Lightning Dock?
I think he was referring to the Braeburn's shipping.
Based on the pictures and explanations they give at the bottom for The Lightning Dock, I believe you run it through the dock with the end of the lightning cable. Also, I don't think anybody has gotten The Lightning Dock anyway.
I returned my Braeburn Acoustics and emailed them to let them know it was coming, and the rep responded with this:
"Stay tuned. We have a Braeburn pro coming out that should be the "ultimate". Taller. With back support. Priced right."
Curious to see what that will be like.

Oooh. I'm glad to hear this and happy I hadn't ordered yet. Thanks for the info!
I'm just about to order one of the docks and lighting LED cables from iPhone 5 mod.com, hoping it's worth the money.
Plus I will have to wait for it to be shipped to the UK, has anyone else in the UK ordered one of these?

Yes but the Black version does not include the cable in the link you gave. That's the shipping and cable price when it is over 20.00
I received my doc today. It's very high quality and came with a genuine Apple lightning cable. I would highly recommend doc this to anyone looking for a quality wood doc. It fits my iPhone which is wearing a Belkin case. I'll post some photos when I get a chance.

Lightning Dock update.
So I emailed them several times asking for a further update:
This was my email to them:
Their response.... a refund
Not sure whats wrong with just replying. I could even understand saying hey we will be delaying orders further...

Wrong thread.
Just came across this, the docks looks very nice, well finished looking forward to your own photos.
Ohhhhh thanks for posting this!
I have one of their originals and like it very much.
The price is just right enough that you can pick up several for around the house without breaking the bank! Plus I love the acoustics on it.
Can't wait to see what else they have in store.
@ Prolanman, thanks for the photos, tell me in your opinion is there any undue stress on the phone itself when rested in the dock on the lightning connector

Nice! I've looked up the parts build this one and even if I build two and with shipping it comes out to 25.00! Have not ordered them yet...
There are few more on mocpages.com check it out!
Nothing I noticed. There is a removable black bar which I put in the rear holder as I have my iPhone in a case. The dock itself helps support the phone. The cable holder can also be flipped underneath of the dock to have the cable sit higher up in the stand for those who have their iPhone in a case.
All in all I'm happy with the dock. The pictures don't do the dock justice. The wood is very nice looking. There are also small clear rubber feet under the dock to stop it from sliding. As the lightning connect engages the iPhone more securely than the previous models so you need to hold the dock when removing the iPhone from it. I suspect that this may be the case with other docks on the market, but can't confirm.
I saw a blueprint of that somewhere and was really interested, but I take it that the phone will not fit with a case?
