Default Do any cases work with the docks?

I am planning to get a car dock and possibly a standard dock for my phone, but I was wondering if anyone knows if there are any cases that will work with the dock. I don't really want to have to take the case off every time I dock it.

I'm using the incipio feather case with the car dock. It works fine as long as you dont put the insert in the dock itself. You do have to press it down firmly when you put it in the dock to get the car home app to pop up. But it works just fine. I just got the dock yesterday and I LOVE IT. First car dock I've ever owned. Pretty sweet

That's good news about the Feather. I didn't order a car dock yet, but I'm considering one. I'm hoping to see more feedback on cases that work with the docks.

I wonder if anyone has tried a dock with the Body Glove Mirage?

I just picked up the Speck case. I may not keep it, depending on if it works with the car and/or the regular charge dock. Doesn't seem to work too well with the MM dock. The opening for the USB/HDMI ports doesn't seem to be quite big enough for them to seat properly. If the tolerances are as close with the other docks, I may shave off about a 1/2 mm so that I can get it to seat. Looks great, tho :/ I think what I'm looking for is something between the feather and the speck.

I picked up both the standard dock, the car dock and the body glove case. I love the case and it works great with the car dock if you take out the removable insert that I think they designed just for this purpose. The problem I'm having is the phone will not dock tightly enough with the standard dock. I may try the suggestion of shaving some of because I think that may fix it.

I'll post back with my shaving results.

Would love to know if someone found an easy to remove case that works with the standard dock

Body glove case works perfectly with the car dock. No issues here. Feels good on the phone and in hand. Highly recommended.

Incipio feather doesn't work with the standard desktop dock:( but at least the case is easy to remove unlike the speck case...

Do you know if it works with the desktop dock or lapdock?

I now see the comment from marhodges above suggesting that it doesn't fit in the desktop dock.

I was not able to close the latch on the car dock with the body glove otherwise fits good. The otterbox commuter did not fit at all.
