Iphone 5S dock replacement shell V2 - for Iphone 5S including case

thingiverse

Updated: (Version 2 changes detailed at the bottom) This replaces the original Apple shell for an Iphone 5S docking stand and allows the use of an Iphone with a case. It uses the original base, electronics and weight. Because of the differences in Iphone cases, different spacers may need to be installed in the bottom of the phone slot. I've also included the model for the base spacer used for the current case we're using. Version 2 The second version of this base is modified to increase the side wall height to hold the phone more snugly. The first version let the phone wiggle from side to side which would occasionally cancel charging. The black strips seen in the picture are pieces of tape that can be added and subtracted as needed to fit different cases. There are a few other minor tweaks that make the case fit the Apple dock easier. I haven't needed the stand spacer with version 2 but I am leaving the file available in case it helps with a different case. Instructions To disassemble your apple dock, remove the bottom rubber pad. It is stuck on with adhesive. The less you bend this rubber pad the better it will reinstall later, if you have a spudger or similar tool, use it. Next the 6 tabs on the dock top need to be pried away from the dock bottom. Finally, the dock bottom and top need to be separated. There is adhesive securing the bottom and top and gentle prying will eventually separate these pieces. Next the dock bottom can be snapped into place in the newly printed dock top.
