Figured since I've already wasted $40 on my Otterbox Commuter (trying to "adapt it"), I'd start a thread to see who has bought a case that works well with the Photon Car Dock.
Bump!
No one has purchased a case for their Photon that works on the Car Dock?
I dont think there are currently any cases on the market that work with the cardock. I have both a TPU Case and an Otterbox Commuter neither of which work with the Cardock. I am going to make a few dremel enhancements to the TPU case to see if i can make it fit.
I purchased the holster case from the Sprint store along with the car dock and it works fine. Don't use the holster portion but do have the back case on it and fits in the car dock and haven't had any issues so far other than a few times the car dock application doesn't fire up always and sometimes I need to re-seat the phone.
Yeah.....I even ordered a cheapo $5 case last night to try, we'll see. Kinda sucks though, ya know?
Ok........even the cheapo $5 case does not fit in the Car Dock. UGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

As the title says, I have the [iGrip car mount](http://www.htcdepot.com/igrip-perfektfit-charging-dock/3A78A8613.htm) and it has been my experience trying out phone protectors at the Sprint store that none of the cases fit into it.
Are there any nice cases that will fit in the car mount?
P.s. I know that the insert pulls out.
the two piece snap together cases fit, the bodyglove cases are slightely too big and they wont stay in the charge position.
the igrip car dock dash mount sucks it wobbles too much and doesn't have an adjustment knob at the neck like the pictures show.
I have had good luck with the hard plastic cases as well as the TPU cases. I even got my OB commuter to work with some mods.

I just got mine in today and I have the tpu hybrid case. can't get it to fit! I feel screwed by buying this. I would hate to have to take my case off each time to use the igrip
Edit: nm I removed a piece that allowed my case to fit
I have the igrip car dock and use a tpu-cases.com case and it fits perfectly. IMO, the tpu-cases brand fit great with fast free shipping. The tpu hybrid that you have is not the same as the tpu-cases. Hope this helps.

Love the tpu-cases. And they fit perfectly after removing the igrip insert. Love the combo!
The Body Glove Vibe kickstand case works perfectly with the iGrip. Great combo. I have gotten over the purple color. Chicks seem to dig it.
Works great with all 6 of my tpu cases

The fit is incredible on the Platinum or Seidio case with the kickstand. I can confirm that this combo will be what I stay with on this phone for sure.
I had the iGrip PerfectFit charging dock. I tried to fit it with my Seidio Surface case with no avail, neither fits not close to touch the microUSB attachment. It's going back to the online store for a refund. Bummer.
I guess I have to wait for Seidio to come out an equivalent car mount as for the EVO 4G with Surface case. That mount from Germany is sick!
Barely There fits great.

I think a lot of people don't realize there's an insert in the igrip dock that you can take out if you have a case on your phone. It won't fit something as monstrous as an otterbox, but my tpu hybrid case fits perfectly

Yup, I tried all the cases my Sprint store had and it didn't fit despite removing the insert.
Thanks everyone for their help
Can someone confirm the Seidio Surface case does work with the iGrip? I think I saw both a yes and a no in this thread.
Is the Platinum case at BestBuy just a rebranded Seidio Surface? Looks like it.
TIA!
I'm currently using this case for my EVO 3D:
http://www.case-mate.com/HTC-Evo-3D-Cases/Case-Mate-HTC-Evo-3D-Tough-Cases.asp
And i would like to get a dock to use at home. But i always have the case on, to protect the phone. So i'm basicly looking for a dock that will fit the phone while having the case on.
Anyone got any ideas / links / names on docks?
- Moon
Try Kidigi they make docks that work with cases but I'm not sure if it will work with the one that you have.
I bought the Seidio case that is made to fit with a case, and I have the BodyGlove case from Sprint, it fit perfectly. I think it should work with most cases that aren't overly bulky.

Could you give me a link to the dock you're using, and maybe the case as well?
I'm still looking for one to fit with both my phone and the case i linked in my first post.

Does anyone know of a case that fits both the nav dock and desktop dock without the need to remove the case? I see the docks come with an adaptor plate that is used with cases, but which cases work? Want a good case that doesn't add too much bulk to carry in pocket and maybe on belt but also goes in docks.
Thanks
You would need either a thin, silicone case, one of the invisible shield-type skins, or a case that doesn't have anything near the ports on top of the phone.
I tried the Otterbox commuter case (the thinner of the two) with an HD station in the Verizon store here. Removing the insert on the dock allowed the ports to line up properly, but the male connectors were not long enough to make proper contact. Removing the plastic, outer case may have helped here, but not by much.
Have you tested it with one of the silicone cases?
I have both the Mobi hard shell and the Otterbox commuter cases. The otterbox fit really snug in the travel dock and charges fine. The 2piece mobi hard shell case fits the travel dock a little loose but works fine also.
My friend has the otterbox commuter case working with the home dock. He said he had to remove a very little amount of plastic from the dock with a hand file.
I have the incipio two-piece case (hard/soft shell combo) that fits very well.

The Verizon high gloss silicone case fits both.

I ended up getting a Qmadix case that works perfectly. No issues and light weight.

I can confirm both of these about the commuter series otterbox. Fits really nicely in the travel dock with the insert removed. I thought the otterbox was made for it it fit so well.
The home dock on the other hand is another matter. I think ill try what your friend has done as it seems the hard plastic piece seems to be the troubling piece. Ill let you all know what i find. Hopefully posting some pics later on this week.
I have the Boxwave Duo Suit they are also known as the Cimo-S case (they appear to be identical). These fit but you need to remove the insert from the dock.

The belt clip combo case that Verizon sales fits in the Navigation dock. At first I thought that it wouldn't work because it was too snug of a fit, but a few days later I realized that there was an insert that I needed to remove from the dock. After a little pry work, the insert popped out and it fits securely enough.

I have one of the Philips docks and was wondering if anyone knows of a goods case that I can use. I have the Aluminum Taurus case and I have to take it off to dock. Was wondering if anyone else uses a dock with a case that fits.
I haven't seen the philips dock but I picked up the Zenis dock off of ebay. Was cheap, only $11. It allows use of some thin cases such as the SGP Air Series cases. I am currently using the SGP Linear Series and unfortunately it did not fit on the dock. However since the dock was cheap, I took a dremel to it and quickly made the opening bigger. I can now use it with the case on without issue. Not sure how much the philips dock was but if it was cheap enough, I would recommend trying the same.
I have a Ringke Slim on my phone and it works with the Deidio Innodock Jr. The bottom the dock says it is designed for "skin" and thin cases.
Just got a new Evo 4G LTE after my trusty OG 4G usb port broke this weekend. I got the Sprint Car Dock and trying to find a case that works with it. The description on the case says it fits 'most' cases but doesn't have any tested cases listed. I tried the Otterbox Defender case and it was just a bit too thick in the middle to fit into the case.
For those that have this dock, what case are you using?

Any TPU case should work. I'm using one of the cruzerlite androidify TPU cases. And it still had lots of wiggle room so I added the included foam pads in to make it fit perfectly.
the Otterbox Comuter series worked ok. i like the car dock. Works real good. and that new car dock interface is awesome
The Dizitronic TPU case works. The Ventev Edge case DOESN'T work in the car dock.

Does that unit have the flap over the usb port like the defender case? If so, what did you do about it?
