[Q] Charging Dock/Cradle fitting Otterbox case - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been searching around trying to find a typical vertical charging dock/cradle for the Samsung Galaxy S II that would fit a Galaxy S II phone with an Otterbox case on it.
The case adds a fair amount of girth because of the silicon and plastic layers that go on top.
I've tried a number of docks made for the Galaxy S II, but they're all a snug fit for the phone normally without having a case put on them.
Has anybody found a dock that fits the phone with the needed room to spare for the case to fit?

i havent found one either but after a while of searching i stumbled upon this and liking it so far!
Its just a very little stand which holds the galaxy sii nicely and its very very cheap.
It looks nice on my desk

Although stands are easy to come by, one that provides power as well seems to be the challenge, at least one that fits my phone with the case on it.
I'm near the point of fishing out old Lego or such to find something to lift my phone a few inches off the table, holding it upright vertically with space under it to run a power cable.
I found it annoying that the power/usb jack had to be on the bottom of the phone. It wouldn't be so bad if I could place the phone upside down 180 degrees, but the android OS doesn't seem to rotate to 180 with vanilla OS, nor most apps like to rotate to 180.

I think completely upside down would be annoying over time. You can enable 180 degree rotation in CM7, but I haven't tried it, so good luck.
FWIW.

So far my only solution has been removing the otterbox case which sort of defeats the purpose of it.
I find it odd that I can't seem to buy a simple phone dock that gives enough space to fit the phone.
I guess I'll have to build a dock out of something like wood, lego, etc. or buy a cheap car mount and find a way to make it free stand on a table to give enough space to put a cable into the phone.

This dock is deliberately built a little larger and has a rubber part so it can hold phones with cases.

Not sure if it would fit with the otterbox though as they are quite bulky......however you can't expect a dock to be made for every style of case

Thanks for the reply. Hard to tell if the dock would be big enough or not. But much thanks.

Hi Dave,
I had similar probles and created a wooden dock with large adaption capabilities. Unless the otterbox dock isn't thicker than 8mm it should be OK
