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?
I was about to open a thread with the same post. Can someone please tell if their incipo fits in Car Dock?
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.

Sorry....I tried. First post, so no photos.
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.
Great responses! Feather it is!

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.

If you take the insert out, it fits perfectly.
Anyone know what hard case will work with a the car dock? I am looking at getting both for my atrix but i want to make sure that im not tossing money down the drain on either. I DONT want to take the case off everytime i use the car dock either. Any ideas? Thanks in advance guys.
As far as I know, the only cases that have been shown to work with the car dock are the scrapped project moto ruggedized case and the rearth ringke cases. Neither are hard cases though.
No hard cases will fit cardock

I should revise my previous statement. The ringke case fits as well as the incipio feather (hard case) was said to fit. It seats into the car dock, activates car mode, but the top clip doesn't sit in front of the screen.

I'm using a Ram Mount with my otterbox defender, and this app. Works great, other than my one problem with the defender case.

This is mine.
I use the Body Glove Mirage case with the HD, Car, and Lap dock. There are inserts on all of them that need to be removed (or not installed in the case of the car dock). That is all it took. Sorry, I forgot to say, it isn't a hard case but it works for me.
Is anyone using an "active" brodit dock with there Note? If so is their any room for a thin hard shell case that on my phone to fit in the dock? Pics would be great.
Thanks
i got the incipio silicrylic case for the phone and am looking for a universal dock that will charge the phone with a case. so far i've considered the seidio innodock and this universal dock from amazon but im still not sure if they will fit with the thicker silicrylic case.
another option was just to get the Clingo stand and use the adapter to charge.
anyone have any suggestions?
Also wondering if anybody knows a good Micro-USB stand that can charge with a case (NEO Hybrid) without any problem.
Was thinking the case might be a problem as it takes a couple of mm of space beneath the phone and that the dock USB-male won't have enought height..
The dock from Amazon linked above does not work with my Ringke Slim case - the USB connector is too short and it doesn't plug in properly. The case is pretty slim, but unfortunately it doesn't work.

yah i was thinking the same thing about the mirco usb adapter. the one on the innodock is raised and pivots so i think it has the best chance of working with most case. Seidio states that the innodock works with their active case which is very similiar to the silicrylic case.
Does anyone know if the GN2 will fit in the Samsung Desk Dock (EDD-D200BEGSTA) with a case on?
I have a pretty slim Body Glove but it seems like if it's meant to be a tight fit it might not jive. (The USB cable fits ok.)
