Can you still use the S Beam with the Otterbox case on or do you have to take the phone out of the case?

YES YOU CAN! You have to have both the WIFI on and hold it close to the other phone. It's not necessarily a 'beam' persay to be able to send files. You must hold it close so the phones can detect each other. If you hold it like... 3 inches away, it should still pick up. With or without the phone case, you have to hold it like that in general anyway.

You can use it while the case is on. My wife and I both have these cases and use it all the time.

Yes. My friend has the ballistic maxx on her phone and it works like the cases arent even there

When I used it, I had a Verizon Holster case on the phone. But it still worked poorly with the case off. I don't know about the otter case, sorry.

You don't have to take it out, just fold the cover and magnet flap around back and the magnet will hold the case open! The phone fits pretty snugly inside the case though and its not that easy to take it out... Bit you don't have to to talk on the phone!

I am not sure about the Otterbox case. I use the armor case from Verizon and I do not have to remove it to use it. THere is a section that comes off of the docking station to allow for a fitted protector.

You can access the port just fine. So the answer is no. You dont have to remove the case. Honestly the case rules. It's the best case I've ever had by far.

No, it's just a case you slip the phone into & it fits perfectly. I have no issues with the phone coming out of the case unless I take it out.

Hey George,No, you'll have to take the case off. The armband is pretty tight, so I don't imagine you'll be able to squeeze the phone in with the case, I didn't manage.

Yes. If you mean a case, take it off b4 you put the screen protector on so it doesnt get in the way.

You can but it will make your screen less sensitive and not sure if it's worth that added frustration. The case is actually not big if you take off the removable stand/front cover. Why do you need/plan to take it out of the case?

I have not removed it from the case since I got it a few months ago. Doesn't seem like a very good idea, it's not too easy to get in and out and I suspect it would wear it out quickly. You should plan on putting it on and leaving it on. I have not found a reason to take it out of the case, you can do everything you need to do with it in.

It sure does! The phone works just as well with our without the case. Including the S Beam

Absolutely not. I rarely take my phone out of the case at all. Mostly to clean the phone or case. I love this case. Want to order another one for color options. It's been great, looks nice and is functional. Awkward at first when I was taking pics because it opens like a book. You get use to it.

the case and the belt clip are separate. You can use the case without the clip.

Yes it is easy to take the phone out of the case. It is a big phone to begin with, better use when texting or emailing.

You can take the phone out of the case while it is on your arm, but you can't take the case off. You can remove the case if the armband isn't on.

No, you have to take the case out. But if you have a case that is thin it will work.
