will this work with SP2 docking station without having to remove it?

I don't have the dock, but I doubt it would work. It's a thin, low profile cover, but even so, it caused the charging cable to bend slightly right behind the connection due to the added thickness. With that being said, the cover would create about an 1/8" gap between the surface and the dock. If the charging connection and the other ports can accommodate that and still remain fully seated, it may work. I would recommend trying it out by placing something along the sides of the surface between it and the dock to stimulate the anticipated gap and see if you still have connectivity. If so, go for it.

I don't have a docking station so I can't test it. Although there are openings for it on both sides, because it has two layers of protection (hard plastic inner shell, and rubber outer shell) I'm not sure if it can dock or not

You could try that out (as I haven't). But I would use one of the computer's USB connectors to access the docked hard drive.

Yes. As Steven mentioned, the docking station has it's own power port, so you won't have to rely on the power port on the laptop.

My guess is not, since they specifically say not to use it in the dock instructions. If you need more ports, buy a USB hub. I bought a powered hub for use when I am not using the port as the tablet USB is unpowered.

No. One of the TB ports is the one that connects the dock to your computer.

No. There is another docking station that has three usb ports which would allow the functionality you want. It is a little more expensive, but sold here on Amazon.

To be honest I don't know. I do not use a keyboard or docking station. I purchased this because it was able to fit a keyboard, when i decide to get one, and not be bulky to travel with.

Yes it will, however, the battery is larger than the battery that came with the laptop and sticks out of the back further so you won't be able to "lock" the laptop into the docking station. But it still gets power and works just fine.

There is a place where you can attach a lock to it, such as a Kensington lock cable. I don't have the dock available to me at this moment, so I can't verify that it will prevent the laptop from being removed.

I don't believe so. My docking-station doesn't, unless there's a special attachment needed.

I honestly don't know, I have never used a docking station before. I like the case its not to heavy and putting it on and off is easy. the kick stand is also very sturdy.

As far as I know you should be able to use it as a docking station. I can not be certain though as the one that I received did not work.

I would avoid buying this brand. The drivers are out of date; it's old technology. I own about 8 "Plugable" docking stations. The answer is yes to your question. You can format the drive in Disk Management in Control Panel.

Yes, the docking station has it's own Power Port, works beautifully. One recommendation, I have a couple of these stations and find that I still use the one that has a CD/DVD reader burner the most. Pay the extra get the CD/DVD upgrade. Good luck!

Thanks. You answered my question. The docking station is a wired connection.

From looking at the external plug ins on the DV6 spec sheet there is not one for the docking station. Double check with HP but I would say no.
