Yea, you're definitely right about that.

I have both the car & the home docks & neither one works with this case.

I decided I like the case so much that I would switch to a universal car bracket (VZ has a really nice one for $19) & just plug the phone in at home & skip the home dock.

Using a universal car bracket, I can still use the "CarDock" software (although I hardly ever use it anyway) & I can easily flip the bracket sideways for GPS, video or SlingMobile use.

Is there a place on your dock you can put a magnet that will touch the bottom of the battery cover? If you put the magnet with one polarity in about the center of the bottom of the battery door it will turn on the car dock software. The other polarity will turn on the home dock software.

I have one of these with a ball mount in my truck and was thinking about installing a car dock magnet on the back. The usb even hangs in the right place for the power cord.
