The iPod charges through the extension cable. The cable goes from the dock of the Altec to the iPod. The cable allows all the functionality as if the iPod were in the dock.

The notch in the front of the door looks like it should be it, but that's just a recess for the latch that holds the door closed. There should be a small slit/notch in the back of whatever adapter you put in (take a look at one of the other adapters to get the idea of where it is). You can probably pry it with a dime, but you can also use a sharp knife in the slot and just pull straight up -- comes out with hardly any force.

Samuel,Thanks for the instruction. However, I've found a novel solution. You see, I keep the iM600 next to my bed to listen in the morning and at bedtime. I found it very inconvenient to change selections while laying in bed. So being a lazy type, I opted for an extension connector cable that adds two feet between the player and my Touch. Since it works with any adapter I left the default one in place. Now I can easily pick up the Touch and change programming without hardly lifting my head from the pillow. The cable was hard to find and not cheap but I found one at http://www.cablejive.com/extendercable.html. It works great for me. Samuel,Thanks for the instruction.

Insert a single edge razor blade behind the rear edge of the adaptor. Push it in 1/8" until it hits the lip. Push it backwards to pry the adaptor up. Push it in again, repeat, and the adaptor comes out unscathed!

actually it is very easy to remove it, I just removed it using a tip of a plastic tie , the key is to know where to poke it , if you see carefully the ipod adapter has a small recess on one of the sides (inner part of adapter, where ipod sits, long side facing towards you). I put the tip of the tie in that recess and pulled the adapter and it came our very easily.

I can't even do it with prying. This is absurd. First the adapters aren't labeled; then the directions stink and then you're locked into an adapter?!

I've just managed to get mine out. I used a small tipped screwdriver and just widened the groove between the dock and adapter by scratching along the groove carefully. I managed to prise the adapter out the dock quite easily this way without spoiling the surfaces. Do be careful if using this method.

If I understand you correctly, that still leaves charging the iPod a separate adventure, whether you use the dock of the Altec or some other dock or USB it to your computer.

Because the top arm rachets out all you have to do is pull up a little before pulling away from the dock. The arm will stay in the up position. Not only will that relase your device, but the dock will be ready to recieve it for the next time.

No. You have to remove the cover to use the docking station. Very inconvenient.

Unfortunately no. It's not a dock able laptop, also the battery is internal and completely closed in so removing it isn't an option

Yes you'll have to use it. Kind of a draw back of this product. I still haven't found any dock that would work with my phone and case.

wow -it's hard. just broke a fingernail. Put in the charger to help with leverage, then insert a fingernail at the midpoint of the side, and gently wiggle and pry case away from phone. good luck ! I think I'll go back to my soft case.

For docking you need to take case off. Can you a charging cord without removing case.

You can access the port just fine. So the answer is no. You dont have to remove the case. Honestly the case rules. It's the best case I've ever had by far.

No. But you can get an adapter very cheaply on ebay that will fit the dock. That's what I did with my older iPod.

No. Sorry. But only paid about $19 for entire docking set up! Might be just as easy to buy a new dock.

I have been using the lighting adaptor since I have purchased. Mine also got damaged within time forcing me to leave my dock on the side. I would love to see if they would offer a replacement set for that peace or make something more durable. Then I got the HiRise for iPhone 5/iPad mini from TwelveSouth and I am super happy about it.

Does the case and screen protector mean the iPod Touch will no longer fit in a docking station? (and thanks for all this information - it's appreciated!)

I have an iPod. It did not fit in the docking station in a rubber bumper case. Since I got tired of taking the iPod in and out of the case, I have stopped using the case.

I found it difficult, my fiancé did not. There is a piece you can pull back so you can dock however I encountered some difficulty making it fit with the flap pulled back. I really found it was just easiest to take it out of the case then put it in the dock.

I just saw your case on line and it looks a bit bulky for the dock. My case is thinner and fits just right.

I'm gonna give you, a definitely maybe. Get the right cables to adapt yours to the lap dock, allow android to debug it and it should work. Not docked but lying beside or behind it. Good luck bud. I know a lot of people have put the bionic down in one way or another, but my personal experience has been great. DOCKED I can do without my lap top and close to using it as much as my big box. Be. Cool,JDS

Hi. Not completely cure...depends on the dock. I have an 'iluv' dock and am unable to use it with the case as the bottom of the case extends downward, preventing the pins on the dock from being able to enter the device. This problem will probably occur on other docks, but you won't know for sure unless you try it.
