In the former, it only releases the top arm to prevent dock damage. The sliding 30-pin connector also works well, providing a perfect fit for a variety of Apple models. The plastics used look good, if a little shiny, but they were a touch prone to marking if carelessly handled. (Read the full post about ‘Kensington iPod and iPhone LiquidAUX Deluxe car kit’…)
