I understand your problem as I don't think others that responded did, meaning your car charger is probably too wide to fit it. Well my car charger is too, So i just shaved off (Sharp knife,xacto,etc...) and sanded the sides of the car charger to make sure it fit in. Not a big deal 5-10 minutes at most.

The belkin micro charger works great and it comes with a USB cable designed for the iphone.

I also have the Belkin micro charger and love it! No more springy coil cords with this one. I can travel in my car and talk with ease while it is plugged in an charging. You can find it on Amazon or if needed in a hurry like I was Walmart. This is the BEST charger I have ever had!

The DLO Charger works fine as long as you are willing to file down the edges of the plug a bit. Also the new model is the prettiest charger out there IMO.

All cases allow you to have access to your 'charger' area since you have to plug your phone in to charge it. That area is never blocked. I have had several different cases and all of them worked with my car charger. You should have no problem.

I sent mine back although I did like it. You can use your charger that came with the phone but for me it defeated the purpose of have a car charger because I forget to bring my regular charger with me.

I have an otter cover, as does my husband, and it works. You just have to open the flap. We both have IPhone 5's and it doesn't come with the correct charger cord. We just used the ones we had. Luckily two, one for each of us! It has about 5 other charger cords for older model IPhones.

I see three responses here stating that the device works while being charged, that has not been my experience. Once I connect the device to a charger while still on, it automatically disconnects from the blue tooth source. In this case the source being my phone.

I have a otter box, but I like my car charger . It works good. And the price was awesome!

you have to take the case off and then charge it. I had another case on and i had to take it off whenever I was charging it in my car.

I've got about 50% success with the end of the charger fitting or not fitting the case. The ones that work stay in circulation. (And to the answerer who said he couldn't hear/be heard... a bluetooth earpiece works wonders. Or in desperation, open the charging port and speakerphone it.)

Gosh. I wish I had an answer for you. Mine never worked. The blue light came on and that was it. I never got the opportunity to try it out. I tried different chargers thinking my charger was bad. Truthfully, the thing is a piece of junk.

It fits inside the commuter case so I don't see why it wouldn't fit in the defender. Now...will the Defender be thin enough for the wireless charger to work? That is a different question entirely and I don't have the answer.

I got one for my girlfriend and have been working really good for more than a year until now. U can charge it with the phone attached and i think the phone charge first and then the case. I think, Usually all these things work like that. I have one for my iphone and it work the same.

I have read this for other chargers as well. I do not know why they all say this. I do know that a friend of mine plus I charge it with a cover and it has no trouble recognizing the phone or charging it. For your information I bought a cheaper brand from ebay and was disappointed and that is why I now have the item you are thinking on buying. I am happy with it.

That happened to me once. I think perhaps the battery wasn't fully pushed into the charger. I can't speak with certainty to your case, but could that be a possibility? I would try charging it again on the charger and see if it works. if not, contact the seller. I love my charger, and only had a problem the one time. The USB port on my phone has since ceased to work, so I am really glad that I got the charge - it is now a necessity! It has worked perfectly except one time, and I think that the battery wasn't fully pushed into the charger then.

yes.. but when I got it and tried to use it nothing worked. the little light that shows it works did not come up. I tried it in different cars and different phones. There are better chargers out there.

It as short as your iPhone charger . I know apple sells a longer one that you can use with the car charger . I would know since I had to run to apple for one .

I wish I could tell you this, but I don't know. I know that it works with the Commuter Case and that it will NOT work with the Defender case. So unless it states that it does work with it, I'd be a little skeptical about purchasing it...
