There have been lots of complaints about needing the official dock for TV output. The dock is not very mobile and prevents the use of a more smartphone/tablet like protective case.
Taking a look at this thing I wonder if it isn't possible to pull the circuitry out of it and put it in a 3D printed case. I don't have a triwing screwdriver handy to take it apart and see what would be involved. My guess a little brick could be made not much larger than the little square housing behind the dock door in the back. Although I don't know what is in the bottom part of the dock.
Maybe 3rd parties like Mayflash will develop their own solution if they can RE whatever DRM Nintendo has built into this thing, but since the dock doesn't appear to offer any significant cooling properties is it really necessary? Thoughts?
