Is the lightning connector 8 pin male plug on this dock capable of connecting an iPhone with an iPhone cover on it? Seems to me this is one of', if not the most, the most important features a dock should have, yet no one addresses this. Most people protect their phone with a cover, but no one wants to remove it every time the phone is docked.

The answer will depend upon the cover you use. Most coers offer the ability to connect your cable without remving the cover, but some do not. It is all up to the maker of your cover.
One example I can give you is the Mophie Juice Pack Air. This cover is an external battery pack as well as a case for the iPhone. FOr this reason, it uses the Lightning port on the iPhone for the battery connection and requires you to use wifi sync, or to remove part of the cover to use the Lightning port. The iFrogz cover I have has an opening and I can connect my Lightning cable without removing the cover from the iPhone.
I use a Para Blaze CX case on mine. It has an open bottom (exposed speaker/head jack/connector), but I could not use the regular 30-pin to 8-pin adapter (too wide) and had to use the 30-pin to 8-pin adapter with the cable. The connector head is attached to a narrow plastic head, which allows it to reach the phone.
