iPhone + Case + Docking Station

Hello all-

I just read a post about someone using the iHome 2go Docking Station with their iPhone still in the case (believe the case was Revo). Does anyone know of any other docking stations that are compatable with the iPhone + its case? I'd like to have my iPhone sitting in its dock on my nightstand when I go to bed. However, I haven't been able to do this because the phone won't fit into the dock if the case is still on. Naturally, I would just take the case off, but this is tedious and tends to stretch the case out. Thanks.

MacBook Intel Duo, 2nd Gen iPod Nano, iPhone, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Thanks for your response, Steve. That looks promising. I wonder if it'll work with the Revo, as that is the case I'm strongly leaning towards.

Why don't you just remove the connector from the docking station aooaratys and attach the connector directly to the iPhone?

Works both with USB or wall connector for charging.

I have had to do this my iCase Skin case. It charges fine - but it does not stand up. No big deal.

Thanks for the suggestion, but the reason I want to use the dock is to have the iPhone stand up. It's not a huge deal, but I would like it that way for my own reasons. I have been charging my iPhone with the wall charger which works fine but again, I'd like to have the iPhone standing up in its dock. Picky, yes I know...

I use the iHome iH6BR Clock Radio for iPod with my iPhone. It lets me charge the phone and play music through the radio's speakers while leaving the phone in its Case-Mate leather case. The iHome comes with a range of adapter inserts to fit most iPods, but I find the iPhone sits in the dock just fine without any of them. The only negative is the iPhone nags me that the iHome is "not a compatible device" when I first put it in the dock and offers to switch itself to airport mode (which I agree to). Other than that, it works just fine.

RJ...I responded to your post and gave you a link to the iHome2go. Here it is again so you don't have to look for the other post.

Hi rj80.

This is what you need. It's a bit pricey, but boy does it come in handy! I use mine all the time!

On another note, I have been trying to give people "helpful" and "solved" points, but I keep getting some kind of system error. Thank you all for your input. It is greatly appreciated!

Awesome find...I just ordered mine! It also states at the bottom of the page:

2. Dock Extender works flawlessly with iPhone, but does not fully fit into the docking station supplied with the iPhone.

Also ordered the little key chain case for the buds.

Thanks for sharing with everyone!
