How to modify Belkin Sync Dock for iPhone with protective case

Introduzione

Alter the Belkin Dock F8J045 to be able to charge iPhones protected by a thin case.

The dock works flawlessly with an iPhone without a protective case. When adding one, the lightning connector is not inserted all the way into the phone.

The purpose is to remove the extra plastic at the base of the lightning connector, that would allow the connector to fully enter the iPhone charging port.

NOTE: With the right cutting tools, you might even succeed without taking the dock apart :)

WARNING:

1. These changes will void your warranty.

2. These changes might make your dock unusable if you don't pay enough attention

I got the adjustable one but the plastic got broken by itself and now it works only when it wants. Not sure if I can fix it and replace it with a standard cable.

Great solution but for some other reason it still does not work because the some apple ios update has rendered this dock/cable unrecognizable. thinking of replacing the cable and connector with a genuine apple cable.

Update to what i just posted... It does still work with an iPhone SE 2020 with iOS 15.7, but does not work with an iPhone 11. with iOS 15.7.. Go figure.
