Hey I have a question for yall. Recently I notice with my carrying case I carry on my hip that almost everytime I take my phone out of the case it gives me the notification "connected to car dock" when it really isn't. I looked over this problem at a couple of websites and they said the cause is the magnet on some of the carry cases cause the phone to believe its connected to a dock.

So, with that being said, does anyone know what carrying case I can get to not have that problem arise? I was thinking about getting the actual carrying case from verizon wireless made for the droid.

yea it doesnt' do it all the time. and i have my screen off. but when i take it out sometimes and turn it over to look at it the screen turns on. i think its the case i have. need a new case
 
This is unfortunate, since my favourite cases are the hip horizontal cases with the magnetic flap.
So what I'm wondering is, is there a way to disable this magnet sensor, so I can still use the pouch I used with my old phones? (Droid fits perfectly in it.)

I am thinking some cases have better 'shielding' on the inside, than others. If I have the phone out of the case and purposefully put the back of the phone to the magnet, it activates the phone, but I can put the phone in the pouch, screen facing out or in, and have never had the phone turn on. I have a co-worker with a different pouch from the same company, but his will turn on if facing the wrong direction in the pouch. Guess I got lucky as I didn't even know about this possible problem when I bought mine.
 
yea im going to get the verizon wireless case. the shielding in the inside of my case is kinda bare now that i think about it. had this case for a long time
