Accessory question

[dirty6]

Greetings all, I just picked up my first Android phone tonight on ebay...Here I come, Droid Pro.

I've already got an extended battery, and am planning on using a silicon cover for the phone. Does anyone know if either of those items, or both of them, would be compatible with this dock? I'd like to have this dock as I'm used to using my smartphone (currently a palm pre plus) as an alarm clock through the night. Appreciate any feedback there. Thanks.

I doubt it. The extended vzw battery adds just a hair of thickness to it's shape, and the cover will most definitely not fit on that dock.

snap. i really liked how that thing laid the phone sideways in an 'alarm clock style' AND had a spare battery charger built into it. reminded me of my old Treo 700w dock, with the spare batt charger. oh well.

any word on how well the OEM multimedia dock does with an extended battery/silicon cover combo?

maybe its time for me to give up and dig out the old radio alarm clock.

I can't speak for using it with a silicon cover, but the OEM dock comes with an insert that will allow it to be used with the extended battery. You might be able to remove the insert altogether and use it with a thin cover, but it may not align properly.

mmmmk thanks...sounds more and more like the old radio alarm clock is about to get pulled out of storage. glad i didn't through it out. perhaps i will give this a shot: Smartphone Experts Desktop Stand - Android Charging Docks - Android Central Store

anyway, thanks for the feedback. probably saved me fifty bucks or so.
