Verizon Dock...opened up

[Aaron636r]

Nothing fancy...didn't think there would be. But I have a problem with using things and not knowing whats in them. Here is a shot of the Verizon Dock opened up.

Nothing more than plastic, small cable and a weight.

wow, really looks like its worth 30 bucks

thanks for ripping it apart for us

It would cost me more than that in time spent to reproduce it.

Simple design.. But it does its job as a dock. Very solid piece.

interesting...kinda hard to see where the magnet is, i always assumed it was on that black tab that sticks up.

Weight goes here (red location)

I believe that "weight" you call it is actually a magnet to trigger the dock mode.

 

[Aaron636r]

No, the magnet is located in the arm that comes up that the back of the droid lays on when its docked. Its just a weight. Tested it to make sure.

 

[R1Lover]

I see, thanks

 

[Aaron636r]

This is the magnet on the arm the Droid rest on when docked.

hmm, that makes sense. it's funny, cuz i bought a "universal" car mount, and put my own magnet in. it appears to be about the same shape and size, but mine was pretty strong, sorta worried me. anyways, the only way i could mount the battery in the right spot was was if i put the magnet perpendicular to how it's supposed to be. yet suprisingly, it still works.

There was a guy who was making ones out of metal and then powder coating! They are solid units and cost the same. I have had it for a couple weeks now and it blows the stock one out of the water and it can be used with a protective case!!

Wow!!! Did you put it back together again? I like my MM dock but I would like to dimmer it a little more than the dimmer allows. Any suggestions? so far, I have solved the problem by putting a piece of loose wieve cloth on top the phone.:unsure:

Thanks for the autopsy! I was wondering if it might be possible to push the adaptor up a little higher to allow the use of a skin or hard case on the Droid....

Anyone think this might be possible? I don't have a skin to test it with.
