Simple answer, yes! Just run a usb micro plug from the Powermat receiver. I went for one of the Blackberry ones, as it is dead easy to check which lead is which (only two are used).

I have used this as a solution on a silicon skin case, with the receiver stuck to the back, and the lead and plug sort of moulded in using black silicon rubber. It's a bit tough to end up with something that doesn't look a bit gash imho and much prefer the 'extended battery case' solution, as I think it looks much more elegant and could almost pass for a manufactured item, but each to their own.

Impressive

Hi Phil thanks for the advice, but i don't know if i was clear enough i wanted to know if i could wire the two wires directly to the s2 micro usb port not to another one, sorry for not being clear enough thanks again

I can see no reason at all from a technical point of view why you can't do as you suggest, the only practical issues I can see are a) getting the wires physically to the SGS2 micro usb socket, and b) soldering them in place, for which you will probably need a good fine tipped soldering iron with a low wattage.

hi Phil, I've just recieved my iPod dock, and have dissembled it. Where do I connect my micro USB, as there are 4 wires connected to iPod adapter? Thanks will.

Thanks Phil , do you think if it did work, would i have any problems charging it with a normal charger and if use the data cable.

Thanks

Hi Wills, on the example I am looking at in front of me, the green circuit board that forms the base of the ipod dock is labeled from left to right, with the wider part upermost;
Ground (GND with (wire marked x x x x x)) Data Positive (D+) Data Neg (D-) Positive (Vcc (with wire marked continuous red line))

You need to use the GND and Vcc connections as negative and positive respectively.

If you look very closely at the 'Powermat' circuit board, you should find similar markings, just very small.

Cheers, Phil

Doubt the data cable will give you any issues as the wiring is distinctly separate, I have charged mine by cable with no problem, but have not tried having it on the Powermat dock at the same time as having the cable connected. If I get the chance, will try it out and report back soon.
