The mount is VERY snug, and I doubt that you will be able to get the S3 to fit into the mount with a case on. Maybe one of those silicone ones because they can be squished, but if you saw earlier in the thread, someone had put the case in the mount and you can see that it's squished.
in your opinion, do you think that the paint of the S3 will eventually rub off on the corners after continual insertion/ removal from the Infuse dock?
My dock is ordered and on the way, but curious as to what others think.
So far I haven't noticed any wear whatsoever and I've been using the dock quite a bit. But I'm really careful with it...

Anyone else getting a humming/static noise when the phone is docked? I don't get the noise when i'm using pandora, but when the phone is docked and not doing anything, I get a humming/static sound from my car speakers. It can get annoying after a while.
I've got an update - after about 10 hours of driving this weekend, I'm very pleased with the dock. I did go back and try the built in speaker jack, and the audio quality was just fine. I'm not sure what was up the first time I tried it (likely something stupid on my part), but the audio played fine from the dock right to my aux-in.
So long story short, the dock is great for my needs. I don't use a case or anything, so that's not an issue, and everything else works as expected. The only minor issue I've found is that when you un-dock the phone, it doesn't register as disconnecting the speakers, so you have to manually pause any music that's playing. When I use the headphone jack, it pauses the music automatically. With everything else that works flawlessly, I can overlook this minor issue.

I just ordered the Infuse dock, decided that having to take the case off is not a big deal. It looks like it is exactly like the SII dock I have been using with my SII.
Question: Has everyone with the Infuse dock been drilling out holes in the back for the speakers? Is this a necessary step? Any issues doing this without damaging the dock?

I drilled out a hole for the speaker. It looks a little sloppy but when driving at high speeds I want to be able to hear the Navigation voice.
I didn't bother, and likely won't as I run everything over the aux cable. There's nothing particularly special about the plastic of the dock, though, so as long as you're careful I doubt you'd have a problem if you do decide to drill them out. Just remember, measure twice, cut once
Ugh, tell me about it. I'm constantly accidentally hitting the volume buttons. I'm sure I'll eventually adapt, but even just picking it up and carrying it around I'll absent-mindedly hit them. That area was blank on the Droid X, so I'm used to just squeezing there I guess.
awesome. thanks for the update! Got my shipping notice, so should have mine in a couple days!
I am waiting for the iBOLT to come out and will get that. It will work with various cases so no need to take the extra step of removing the case. USB plug doesn't slide in though unfortunately.

Nice. I've been looking for a mount that works with a case. Any chance this gets carried in the US?

Here is the link to the same iBolt unit on smartphonepedia.

It seems those universal-type holders are a dime a dozen... Amazon is flooded with them. My whole purpose for getting the dock was specifically for the docking and charging features, so a mount that's just a little grabber on a stick isn't very interesting. To each his own, though... If that's all you're looking for, wait till the AC store has a sale and buy something similar from there.

Thanks.
Yea, I rarely use GPS, have no need for audio out, or need to charge my phone while I drive. My phone stays in my pocket 95% of the time when I'm driving. And I'm not taking off/putting on my case for the 5% of the time I want to use a mount.
So a grabber on a stick is all I need.

This one seems to be a bit nicer than some of the others FWIW. I'm on the fence here. I don't want to tear my cover off every time I get in the car, so I guess the Infuse dock is out.
Yeah, that one does look a lot nicer, but at twice the price of an actual car dock. If I was going to use it for 5% of my driving, I'd spring for a nice, crappy, $4 mount like this one
