I have one of the Ebay 3000mAh batteries + replacement back, and I love it by the way, but the new depth is approximately 150mm now, and now I'm having trouble finding an attractive car dock that fits it. I'm trying to avoid using one of those "universal" docks because they're all so big and bulky. But the really attractive docks like the SlipGrip don't look like they're made to readily accept slightly thicker Evos. If all else fails I'll probably try one of the Garmin mounts as mentioned in another thread, but first I thought I'd ask what everyone else was using for their Quasimodo Evos...
I didn't see this anywhere else in the forum - apologies in advance if it's a duplicate.

I know the Car Dock comes with an insert for the phone if you do, or don't have a case on it. Confirmed today that the laptop dock does too. I assume that all the docks have this, but haven't seen an entertainment dock or standard dock. If anyone can confirm with pics, it would be greatly appreciated. Here's the laptop dock one in pics attached to this post.

I don't have pics but the Multimedia dock and Standard dock are the same way
I've got the MM dock and the car dock, and have played with the charging and LT docks in store. All have the little panel that pops out. The speck sorta works with the MM, charging, and LT docks, but not at all with the car dock. I now have the feather, which works with all 4.
I have the BodyGlove case from AT&T, and it works great on the laptop and car dock.
Son of a mother f*cking b*tch!!!!!! I already sent back my standard dock!!!!!!!!!
I have a Otterbox Commuter case, do you think that it would fit with the insert removed? The micro plug was really close to getting there, just couldn't make it work.
I know that even with my thin Body Glove case, the phone wouldn't even think of fitting in the laptop, but with the insert out, fits with ease. Could work fine, but I haven't dealt with the Commuter case yet.

I hate you... thanks for the info. guess I might re-order and give it a try.
*light bulb above head*
Wait a minute... I'll run down to the local AT&T store, they always have the Atrix in the Multimedia dock (same dimensions as the standard dock). I'll pop out the insert there and see if my case will fit.

Yep, my store didn't get the multimedia dock, just the laptop dock. We haven't recieved the otterbox defender in either, only seen them online. Best of luck, let us know what you find.
Well, no dice with the otterbox commuter case... I went to the local AT&T store, took the insert out of the standard dock, and the micro adapter still wouldn't reach. You should have seen the look on the dumb ass sales persons face... haha priceless.
I'm also assuming the otterbox defender case will not work either, as it is larger than the commuter case. Thanks anyway, still good info. to know.
Well I hope I'm not a thread-killer as I posted this several days ago in another thread and never had any comments on it...
I searched around on many forums but found no discussions about the "larger case" insert documented in the manual, at least for the Multimedia dock.
It's listed in the manual as part number SJYN0722A. The manual indicates that it is included when purchasing the dock and is for use with a "ruggedized" case. This is also referenced at Motorola's FAQ on accessories for use with a "2 shot battery door fit plate", whatever that is/was.
The insert that is being removed is part number SJYN0723A.
Anyone have this 22A insert or know anything about it? Was it discontinued before the docks were even released?
I have the Incipio Feather case and have removed the insert as discussed to use it in the Multimedia dock. It works, but does not physically support the phone at all as others have mentioned.
Thanks!

Not killing the thread at all, more info is always welcome. I would assume that the other part number is just the dock connector with no insert on it.
Sorry to double post if you already put this up, hadn't seen anything and it was cool to find out.
Thanks link12245
The manual specifically speaks to two inserts. One for just the phone and one for "over-sized" cases.
I guess that it never made it to production and Motorola didn't change the manuals....
motorola forgot to add the plate
i spoke to motorola support @ 800-734-5870, they acknowledged that the plate (part #: SJYN0722A) should have been included. they will refund the full amount for the dock & advised me to repurchase it online. the newer docks now includes this part.

I was going to call support, but thought I would ask around first.
I purchased this from Amazon and got it last week. I'll see if they have new stock for a return and/or give Motorola a call to see if I can find out who has fresh stock that has the insert.
Hi There!
A few years ago I bought for my HD2, a air vent holder which has proved to be excellent. Recently I tried to move it to a new car, and broke a peice. I thought replacing the holder would be easy but most are junk compared to what I had. It's one bit that is broken and I am hoping someone might be able to look at this picture and tell me what this part is called or described as so I can just get another.

I just one of those little spring clamps. I otherwise like my existing holder and I don't want one of the others which aren't as good (It's not about the price).
Anyone able to assist?

both your links are dead.
Sorry about that, fixed now.
The first picture has changed from the original, but it's the little spring bits separate from the holder I'd like to replace, or if I can find something similar to the original I'll take that as well.
I don't like suction cap options.
No-one able to assist with locating a similar peice or item?
Thanks if you can assist.
Hi,
i think it would be much easier to buy a new holder, than to look for a spare part to your holder..
or try to search in ebay for similar ones... something form china, so you dont have to spend much money for shipping. there you should find hundreds of different mounting systems. for example this one:
http://www.ebay.de/itm/for-HTC-Incr...084?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45fbeb7afc
i think its a similar one, though it doesnt have a spring system. but i think this small plug should fit with your system...
In case anyone is interested. I have a MilestoneX (DroidX variant) with an Otterbox case on it. I really wanted a dock for my truck but obviously the Motorola one doesn't work with an Otterbox without modification. In searching for the perfect mount I came across the almost perfect solution at http://www.slipgripcarmounts.com The mounts run right around $25 but of course they don't trigger the Car Dock app like the Motorola one. I did some searching on the web to find out what tells the phone that it's on a multimedia/car dock and turns out it's a magnet. After playing with the magnets from a restaurant name tag I discovered that one polarity activates the multimedia dock and the other activates the car dock A little super glue and some drying time later and I have a car dock that mimics the Moto dock with Otterbox intact and it was a good bit cheaper too!
Yeah those guys do make the best docks besides the OEM stuff, still sucks that you have to plug in a cord every time you dock it though and a second 3.5mm jack for audio out unless using bluetooth... I just used a rocketfish case and a little time with a dremel to make the Moto dock work with a case and it is by far the slickest setup I've ever had with a car accessory. I do wish I had known about these guys when I was using my Epic 4G though, I had a Seidio ActiveX case on that and my god I HATE the clamp style universal mounts. I'm sorry but those things are trash and look like crap too.
I just wish more manufacturers (looking straight at you HTC), would realize that the majority of people out there (or at least people I know) use cases and don't like the fact that they can't use the good docks with their case. I mean seriously, deductibles are often $80+ up to $99 for some people even if you do have phone insurance. Not having a case=1 "oh chit" and there goes $100 down the drain and no phone for 2 days while they ship you a new one. Every time I see someone with a naked phone, especially an iCrap, I just shake my head.
That's awesome! Ill have to look into one of these, I use an old Life Hacker binder clip mount I made about a year ago, works well but I have been thinking about getting something nicer.

Thanks guys! Can't wait get away from my EVO... Not a bad phone just not for me (I'll make a post sometime about my experiences).

I'll answer them in the order asked . Hope it helps
1. Yes. Many choices, more than I'd care to link.
2. Yes. Again a lot of choices. HERE is one at random.
3. Yes. But it's not a Factory setup. But they do work well. One used by many people is THIS one.
4. I believe the largest is 2300mAh. You can find them all over the place. Just be wary of who you buy from. I ordered one of THESE for my wife. If you want Extended with a larger cover, you can go all the way to 7000mAh.

Good answer, and some good links to some accessories I didn't even know existed! The only thing, though, it that the OP was asking these questions about using the Otterbox Commuter case. I have had one for quite a while and can at least answer one of your questions:
Wireless Charging with the Otterbox Commuter:
I picked up the wireless charger back with the Palm Touchstone off of Ebay, but was disappointed because it wasn't strong enough to charge through the case. I didn't want to waste my investment of $45, so I went the DIY route and made a hole in the back of my case the size of the touchstone. I know it sounds ghetto-tastic, but it works quite well. It sets and charges with no issue and even stays "locked in" when the headphone cord is pulled a little. Obviously, my case is less sturdy than before, but I have dropped my phone a number of times since and there has been no damage to the phone.
I have put together a small album showing what my phone looks like with the giant hole in the back of the case. Please forgive the poor picture quality, as I was taking them with my Transformer, which doesn't have the most stellar camera.
Hope this has been informative
I also have an Otter Box case. I switch between that, and the Zero Lemon 7000mAh Battery/ Case Combo. As I stated above the choices for a Dock were just Random. As there are really to many choices. Not knowing the person, or how they use the Dock. It is difficult to be very Specific. As for the thread on Wireless Charging. I pointed to that one Specifically because I know someone who is currently using that one with an Otter Box case with no issues.
Thanks guys! I will be getting this or a note 2.. I can't decide so I will leave it to fate and pick whatever one is the best deal on ebay come Friday.

Hi All,
I have been looking at a few reviews of owners and their trials and errors
I would like to ask from those who have tried various docks and clip on chargers for the Z3 compact,
which of these would you recommend.
I am using a flap case with mine and don't want to end up purchasing something that totally doesn't fit
or completely useless in its ability to charge properly.
Could you give me some tips, ideas and feedback please??? Even if just listing names I don't mind
doing the search myself on the items.
Thanks!:good:
i've been using the Magnector since November, when i got the phone.
http://www.amazon.com/Magnector-Performance-Xperia-Charging-Cable/dp/B00JEMESHG
zero issues. i chose the cable over any docks because i wanted some flexibility in case i needed to charge in my car, or while travelling; and i also wanted to be able to use it while it was charging.
I'm using the Deff microusb adapter and am very happy with it.
I have it pictured with my Rinke Fusion clear case here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58136303&postcount=21
I got it elsewhere, but it's available on Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/Original-Pack...rds=deff&pebp=1421284468288&peasin=B00KNLFS9E
I am using the original Sony DK48.
Battery life is OK and i can make small charges easier with it. But the device is a bit overpriced thought.
