I'm probably going to do this this weekend. Honestly, why wouldn't someone do this? Nice looking, (kind of) Apple official, and FREE.

Because it could easily tip over.

Thanks for the great video sir! I made my own tonight and it only took me around 10 minutes total (most of it was just trying to get the cable to sit right). Best of all it works with my incipio stowaway case, which is quite bulky and would never fit in a traditional dock. It is also very sturdy and I am not worried at all about the phone tipping over, in fact, it feels much more sturdier than when I used my iphone 4 in the official apple dock. Here's some pictures, sorry for the bad quality, they are from my iPad 3:

After weeks of fretting about whether The Lightning Dock was a scam, mine finally arrived today. It took a solid week to get from Quebec to Colorado. The dock looks good, and it's well made. It isn't heavy enough to allow removal of the phone one-handed, but neither were any of my Apple docks.
I have the connector sitting fairly proud of the dock to accommodate a case (phone was naked until a gravity storm got me a few weeks ago -- curse the loose fit of my dodoCase sleeve). If you get this dock and you plan to use it with a case on your phone, I recommend setting the height of the connector with the case on, before you reassemble the back plate.
I was curious about how much the set screw would damage the lightning connector -- I was careful not to over-tighten the set screw (a small hex wrench is included), but there's definitely a faint but permanent indentation where the set screw seats against the connector to hold it in place. I should have taken a photo before I put the dock back together -- sorry.
inspired byt the headphone case dock I decided to make my own using my magic mouse case, I knew I saved it for a reason!!!

It's obviously temporary, but was fun to throw together after seeing the example.
I saw that too. Does not come with cable or lightning connector on dock.I don't know...that's almost $50 US for what appears to be a molded piece of plastic?
