Well Derek has an ongoing process to perfect his hack. In event he does or doesn’t find a 90 degree connector he will have to again to make another case, or mod this one. With finding a connector it will still be an obtrusion. Without find a connector he will have to hack is own solution for the connection, that most likely be an obtrusion as well. Both will require a case mod to protect the connection, while a slight bump most likely will remain, but shouldn’t pose any hassle. No doubt Derek will get this to close as perfect as possible. In the video Derek didn’t say he actually measured the fields around the device, but said his research revealed they shouldn’t be high enough to pose a threat to card magnetic stripes. One of those things that everyone has to decide their own comfort level

why not try a little piece of pcb and a flex cable ?

that way you can glue the pcb with flex cable into the case and you just have to insert the phone butt first.

Seems like alot of work to avoid plugging in a cable.

@Vonskippy – well yeah, it’s a lot more work. But it’s also a lot more fun!

Am I the only person who doesn’t see what the big deal with plugging in your phone? ??? says microusb is the first thing to go out but oddly enough I’ve never seen or heard of one. The idea of not plugging it in is cool but you’re still going to plug it in in the car

In this case design, you could improve your FM reception by attaching a few inches of wire to a right-angle 3.5mm headset connector (just embed the wire up the side of the case material).
