Do you know a good iPhone dock + alarm?

Needs:
1) Charges my iPhone while docked.
2) Single or multiple alarms, doesn't matter.
3) Back-lit LCD clock (LED's are too bright at night for bedside).
4) Prefer on-demand back light on display vs always on.
5) I can choose a song and/or playlist for alarm.
6) Alarm also has annoying buzzer/tone for times when music just isn't enough...
7) Battery backup for alarm.

Wants:
1) Sleep timer, fall asleep to playlist on iPhone.
2) Can dock iPhone while still in protective case (cable instead of docking port).
3) Radio. Emergency radio would really be cool!
4) Selection of colors.

I know, the impossible to please consumer. That's why I'm asking the pros!

I asked a similar question last month (catbertthegreat found something for me): http://deals.woot.com/questions/details/b2fc69f1-e3ed-4917-be6e-2df0e2a36792/challenge-iphone-3g-alarm-clock#3. Thanks for asking the question, I'm interested to see what other responses you get.

The iHome seems to meet all of your requirements. I have been using one for over a year and I love it! http://www.amazon.com/iHome-iP9BR-Clock-Radio-iPhone/dp/B001L9KMTI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1262960165&sr=1-1

@adwebinc: that is actually the deal that catbertthegreat posted. If you had followed her links you would have figured that out.

@glindagw & @adwebinc: That looks like a great product. It's definitely on my list of possible purchases.

The only thing that I would really like to find is a unit where I can plug in my iPhone with a cable instead of a dock. I know that's going contrary the whole iPod universe but I have a nice case on my phone for protection and I'm concerned than inserting/removing my iPhone from the case every day will do more harm than good.

I might look around for a dock extension cable that might make it work for me. If I find one I'll post it here.

I have found this universal dock extension. It looks great but I'll have to see if it works with the iP9.

@weakgeek: The universal dock adapter does not appear to work with the iP9.

This cable would likely do the trick:

@weakgeek: Though only available in white, this one is a lot cheaper:

This unit from Logitech is a little less expensive and has received good reviews. Anyone familiar with it?

I'm still liking the iP9 with the short dock extension cable.

@adwebinc: Your intentions were fine, but we tend to actually ENJOY the deals trick. I know, you meant well, but we're a funny lot. Stick around, you'll get used to it. Or not.

@shrdlu: Sure, I understand. Since it's back to retail @ $99 I didn't think it was much of a "deal" at this point. Not new to Woot, but new here, so i will "learn the ropes" as they say.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
