Has anybody used this thru a otterbox defender case? I currently use mine with one but would like to get another since verizon discontinued the ghost.

I have used mine with the Defender case and my wife has used hers with some really thick cases, the only thing that happens is the position of the phone on the charger becomes a little more stringent.

I doubt it. I bought this and promptly returned it. It didn't work with my otterbox. They should have some info on what case size should work. If you look for my review, it'll be there. Their customer service wasn't quite nice to me when I returned it. :(

I have had this case for 9 months now and have had no issues at all with it. Works great, I like that it is completely automatic. I just plug it in at night and I am ready to go all day clear till the next night. I guess you have tried taking the phone out of it to see if the phone works ok by itself. If it does then I guess the case may be at fault and I would request another one. I am sure a company like Otterbox wants there customers to be happy with there products. since the speakers and mic. cutout are open I don`t see a problem there. If you have a friend with the same phone or you could go to your phone company and have them try the case on another phone just to double check it. Sorry I am not much help, but I do like mine and would be interested in hearing what you discover as I am looking to buy another one if for my wife if they ever make one for he iphone 5c Lee

I have an OtterBox Defender case on my 4th generation ipad and it works wonderfly on the stand. The Very thick defender face/screen cover has to be set aside (instead of snapping it to the rear of the iPad) when in use with the stand, but it can be left on to protect the screen/face when stored on th stand. That is the way I do it and it works great.

Yes. I've spoken with OtterBox regarding this (and other problems), which is why they have since DISCONTINUED making the Ion case entirely. They are selling out all of these for 50-75% off.

I have mine under the stock cover and it bulges very slightly. The stock cover still closes with no problems. In response to how far away the pad can be, there is some play. I think the spec is 5mm. I can verify that it does work thru gel cases, but not thru the big ass otterbox defender case.

I am using an otterbox symmetry case on it now, and have had no problems with the commuter line either. Pretty sure the defender will work just fine, but I haven't that one myself.

I contact Otter Box and Verizon Customer Service and they told me that the current Defender Case will not fit the Verizon iphone exactly. I just ordered the new version from Otter Box that will fit both. I had to pay full price...don't think Amazon is carrying the new version yet.

The answer is definitely not. I just received mine today and it will not work with otterbox defender on.

Yeah I'm having this problem.....Honestly....It's stupid. Why can't otterbox fix the problem. I just ripped the built in screen cover and threw on an invisheild and it works fine...Hope this helps everyone else.

I don't know if it works with the defender, but I was using it on my Note 3 with a different hard case (the Spiegen Thin Ultra Fit) and it got incredibly hot while charging. I ended up not using it anymore.

My Otterbox is very thick and isn't fitting in it. If I get the phone in, I may not be able to get it out. I will have to find another kind. I didn't realize it at first. Would go to a store so you can see if it works right there. Sorry for the delay in answering your question.

You may have trouble with an Otterbox. I have a Samsung Epic with a Platinum case that isn't even as beefy as the Otterbox, and I found that my phone just barely seated on the USB connector well enough to get a power connection. It would do it, but one slight bump would be enough to jar it free. There are two plastic support posts on each side of the USB connector that are intended to stabilize the phone, but I thought that if I filed or ground them down with a Dremel tool, lowering their height might allow my phone to be better seated on the connector. That did the trick, although it so happens that while I filed both down evenly, the cutouts on my case allow the phone to tilt more toward one side. Not a big deal, just not as aesthetically correct, but the phone now gets a good connection so it will now charge correctly. Of course, my efforts committed me to keeping the AS111, but I decided for the $69 I paid at Best Buy, it would be convenient to have. If I ever swap phones, I think the two support posts might could be fully ground down if need be (although I found they are metal underneath the plastic) and replaced with two rubber or foam bumpers.

I bought an UAG case and left the back cover off the phone and let the UAG case hold everything together. It has worked great for over a year. I do not think it will work with the otterbox. My UAG case has a slight curve to the back. The battery works great.

It works great with the IPhone but with the otter box case protector, have not tried it without it, but I don't see it to be a problem. I also have the Raico case and did not care for it. It was to big, even with the otter box case.... Hope this helps :)

Hi Nessa, I actually never looked at the Otterbox Defender case. Decided to buy the lifeproof case after lots of research on the net. For our ipad 2 we bought a cheaper brand that claimed to do the same thing as the Lifeproof case. Unfortunately didn't even come close to the Lifeproof case. The Lifeproof case does everything it says it does and we like that it isn't bulky. We are really happy with our purchase. Hope this helps. Kathy

I guess the first thing I should confirm for you is that this cable works with the latest IOS devices. Some of the off-brand cables won't because they don't have the certified electronic components built into the head to be recognized by the device. Next, I don't have an Otterbox Defender case. But, I compared this cable with the original from Apple. This cable's lightning connector is less than 1/32 of an inch wider. Only very slightly wider. Hopefully that will help you decide. If the Otterbox opening is exact, it may not work, but if there is some room around the sides with the original cable connected, you may be okay. Good luck!

I'm sorry, but I am not familiar with the original Note. I wouldn't be able to give you an accurate answer. I would suggest asking your question directly to OtterBox if you haven't already done that. Once again, sorry I can't give you a good answer.
