Multimedia Station for DROID by Motorola

[AllDayVY]

How is this a multimedia station when there are now exterior speakers that allow you to play music or anything like the Ipod has the Ihome.

Picked up the Multimedia Station from a sale at "WhatanItem.com" last week for $15 plus $5 shipping. I suspect the price was the result of damaged packaging. The unit itself was fine.

A warning, though. I had hoped that the station would work with at least the front cover of my Seidio case in place. I didn't expect it to fit with the back on. Bad news is that it won't work with either the front or back cover in place. Only a naked Droid (or perhaps one with a transparent flexible plastic cover) will fit.

I use my multimedia dock with the Seidio front still on. Take off the back of the case, slide the keyboard open, place the Droid into the dock, and then push keyboard to the closed position again. It won't go all the way down, but you can't even tell.

Thanks. Good tip. It was sliding open the case slightly that I wasn't doing. Although the droid appeared to "seat" correctly, it wouldn't charge. With the front of the case opened slightly, it works fine.

Feel rather dumb about this but since I almost never slide open my Droid to use the physical keyboard I'll use that as an excuse.

I got mine on sale ($24) so I could charge my Droid at work only to find out it will not sit properly because of the hard case I carry my Droid in. If I take the back off, it's fine, but that will only cause the case to break faster than it would otherwise.

The media station is a scam don't buy it. I have it and I have to take the cover off to use it. However one day I set my work blackberry down which was in a case that has a magnet to turn off the Bb screen whenits in the case. And I put the Droid down on top of it with the bb. Magnet up and the Droid dock station came up. All u need to do is have a little round magnet and stick it to it to anything then then lean the Droid on it and bam u have the media station featureas. Congrats to all who have bought a 30 dollar magnet. Try it

When my phone is plugged in to the multimedia station my options on the bottom (in order) are weather, music, slide show, alarm clock, and home. and then towards the top of the phone is a picture of a light bulb but when I click it it shuts the screen off entirely. How do I get it to be normal with the brightness on the bottom?

That fist screenshot is old, my Droid with stock 2.1 is as you describe rather than looking like the screenshot. Light-bulb only dims screen (perhaps your brightness is just set very low?)
