There are conflicting reads. Some say the car dock will fit by removing the insert. Some say, it will not. So what is the final verdict? Pictures will help.

Also, how about the multimedia dock. Will the Feather fit?

IMO the Feather does "work". The top clamp does not grab the outside edge of the phone, but it does almost. This makes the phone secure enough (IMO) for all but Rally racing. :) I already had the dock, but only had the Speck case, the Speck case is not even close by the way. Got my Feather today. Dock + Feather = happy....for me anyway. Ill try to put up pics later.

I have the MM dock and the car dock. The speck only worked with the MM dock while I was holding (forcing) the phone into the dock, and even then didn't detect properly. It didn't work at all in the car dock, even with the insert taken out.

The feather works great in the MM dock and (from trying in the store) with the charging dock with the insert taken out. The car dock also works when the insert is out, but the phone has to be placed semi-firmly in the dock and as others have said the top arm doesn't come over far enough to catch the edge of the phone to hold it completely solid. I'm sure the phone will never fall out of the dock unless I do some serious offroad rally driving. The feather is the best case fit-wise that I've seen so far.

Feather fits and functions in all docks. The Car Dock, as mentioned, is a snug fit and the top clip doesn't fit around the side of the case to really "lock" it in place, but it holds it down more than sufficiently for normal use. I thought about gluing an extra strip of plastic so that it clipped onto the feather case, but after using it for a week or so now it doesn't really need it.

I agree, I have the feather case with the car dock and mine is quite stable enough, the top clamp doesn't grab the outside either but is secure for sure.

Really? My Atrix doesn't fit in the desktop dock when I have the Incipio feather on it. But the case is easy to remove so I don't bother.
