I was able to "hack" ... literally ... my old Droid X2 dock into a RMHD dock. This is a great bedside solution allowing me to charge my RMHD in the dark without fumbling, wiggling, the small micro-usb jack ... which always seems to be upside down!
I don't have a dremel or anything, so I did it with ... drum-roll please ... a sharp detailing razor (no pun intended).
The first step is to remove the left wall of the dock bay (the part the phone rests on) blocking the RMHD from fitting lengthwise into the dock:

The first step is to remove the left wall of the dock bay (the part the phone rests on) blocking the RMHD from fitting lengthwise into the dock:
- I did it by carefully tracing and scoring the portion I wanted to remove with the razor.
- I used the razor to make the scoring deeper and deeper.
- I used the pliers to carefully wiggle and bend that left wall until it started to break where the scoring lines were.
- Finally, I used the razor to finish removal of the left wall and smooth out the hole left in the dock
- don't throw out the pieces of the removed wall just yet!
- using the razor, score (as best as you can) in front of each port an enlargement of approximately 2.5 mm.
- as you do this, you should be able to wiggle and angle the razor so that you can remove portions of the enlargement
- once the holes are enlarged enough, wiggle each port forward to ensure they move forward sufficiently ... you can even try to fit the RMHD into the dock with some gentle wiggling (be careful not to damage the receptors on the RMHD).
