Do any cases work with the docks?

[Aaronneyer]

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.

 

[shamdawg]

Not sure. Only dock I have is the car 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.

Mine closes perfectly fine. Did you use the plastic backing piece that came with it. Its only if you are using it without a case.

the latch will not close with a body glove case. otherwise, it fits like a glove.

Has anyone tried a TPU Gel case with the Atrix and have it installed on the HD Mutlimedia Dock or the Standard Dock?

Car Dock with BodyGlove Case

the latch will not close with a body glove case. otherwise, it fits like a glove.

Also using the Bodyglove case. The latch on the car-dock will not completely close. I've put calls into Motorola and ATT. No one seems to be able to point me in the direction of a case that would not interefere with the car-dock's latch.

One concern is that undue stress is put on the micro USB receptacle on the phone because the phone is not completely secured in the dock. Bumps in the road, acceleration / deceleration causes imperceptible back and fourth motion that would ultimately mess something up.

Motorola certainly made the doc for using cases on the phone, else they'd not have included the base "to use if your phone does not have a case".

One workaround, is to glue a horizontal pin (2-3 mm diameter) parallel to where the latch makes contact.

Does the Incipio Feather case work with the Lapdock? Thx.

I have both laptop dock, HD dock. Just purchased the 2 silicone cases from here in Canada from futureshop. its the only cases in stock before the phone was released today. when i got home I was praying that the laptop dock would work with the phone while the silicone case was on (taking it on and off is a pain) cannot post pics SORRY. confirming laptop dock works with silicone case on with a very easy removal of plastic part.

For the HD Dock it was a NO GO had to remove case.

EDIT: hd dock does have removeable clip aswell. Dont know how i didnt see that. Gel silicone case works with hd dock. Confirmed! !

hope this helps you guys that like the silicone cases like I do.

I've debated the LapDock myself. Even the HD Dock just for using my wireless USB Keyboard and Mouse. I have an Otterbox Defender though.

Far as the car dock and standard dock, I don't plan on getting those. I have shortcuts to use those apps without the docks. Have a hands free stand for the car that holds it perfectly with the case and modified my clip case for the Otterbox to use it as a stand as well and be able to plug the charging cable into it while it's in use.

In case anyone wonders what I had to mod the clip case, the Desk Dock clock does not rotate with the screen and to have it correct, the charging port on the phone is on the bottom of the case in the cradle. Otterbox does however include markings in the cradle to cut out for this though (very nice), just had to extend on side a tiny bit to accommodate the larger USB end so it fit snug without putting pressure on the port by pushing it sideways any.

I picked up a Lapdock today. I can confirm that the Lapdock does work with the Incipio Feather case (have to make sure that the two connectors are snugly fit into the Lapdock cradle (adapter/ fit plate removed). See here for details (PDF): Link.
