The official dock does not seem to allow use of an MHL adaptor on the back of the dock. Power still goes to the Note but no HDMI output. Tried several times, even tried internal/external speakers settings in "Dock" but no difference - still no video.

Can anyone else confirm?

PS. The dock does not come with a power supply, you just use you existing PSU/lead.

You can make it work, but it's really not comfortable, and I'd be worried about damaging the connector. If they showed someone dropping it into the dock on the video, it would not look quite such a good combination.
Have you actually experienced this, or are you speculating? I don't believe the Samsung flip case adds any extra bulk at the back, as it replaces the original back cover.

I have the cover and dock. I watched the video and though the Note did fit in the dock with the cover and ordered both, but it doesn't.

One the left side the back cover is thicker to allow room for the leather flap. You can still use the dock by titling the phone forward at the top but the the only thing supporting the phone is the dock connector.

Once I get a screen protector I'll remove the cover as I'd like to use the dock and it will be easier to use with my car dock.

The case does make holding the phone easier and it feels more secure in your hand.

Yes, I have. The back is more substantial than the rather flimsy original battery cover, making e.g., the camera more recessed, and the extra width of the flap doesn't help the device slide down, either.

So is the dock useless if you have the flip cover-case on? Or can you use the dock, although the phone doesn´t fit "perfectly"? I´m considering getting both accessories, but am a bit confused.

I wouldn't use them together. It's a really tight fit because of the flip on the left, so doesn't slide down as easily as the naked Note, and needs to be jammed in. Because of the thicker battery cover, when the microUSB connector is mated, the Note is tilted forward, putting stress on the connector.
