I have an otter box on my iPhone and can charge with it on, also with my iPad cases on as well.

No, I have to remove the skin from my iPad1 first. Unless the connectors have been updated, you need a pin adapter for the latest iPad or iPhone models (they are not hard to get). The unit does a beautiful job.

My iPad case is a reflex and I think it does great, but I've never put it in a defender. I will never put my iPhone in anything but a defender. That may not help much, my iPad does not take the abuse that my iPhone does.

They have a plastic cover for the back of your I pad. This is to keep it from scratching the back of your iPad. The case is for the front of the iPad and it is made of like a leather and it covers your screen and also turns it off when you close it. I guess you could call it a case or a cover also. But it is magnetized and it clicks to your iPad. The plastic part works ok. But I didnot like the case that well, it didn't hold up the iPad in a standing position that well. I had a roo case and went back to it. It's heavier but can hold the iPad up whey oi don't want to hold it.

Nope. You have to remove the iPod/iPhone from the case. It's not difficult to do--just the push of a child-proof button--but it's a bit of a pain that it can't be used while charging. Even with that issue, I still haven't found a comparable case for toddlers and kids. Our daughter has beat the heck out of her case for almost 2 years and we're just now replacing it (with the same model).

I bought a off brand cover, but seem similar to apple cover. It comes off without taking the ipad out of the case. Hope this helps.

No case attached... I bought one (thinking it was a case) but was disappointed when it came. The magnet that holds it in place is strong, but the iPad has hit the floor at least once when someone held it by the cover because they didn't know. My advice is: Go ahead & pay the money for the full case.

No I have to remove my case before each use. Other f han that it is a great product.

I'm not sure about Apple covers, but some covers make it harder to plug the device in. My thin cover doesn't have to be removed, but my husband's thicker cover does.

I just got my case and yes you can use the cover without the case. It is just like Apple's cover.

My case was a very snug fit, but it didn't damage either when I removed the iPad. I wouldn't do it on a regular basis though. The iPad is a pretty tough little tablet, but I think removing and replacing would cause the case to loosen over time and not hold has securely.

Yes, the case is custom made to te iPad and does not have to be removed for any reason. It has all the cut outs to plug in the charger, microphone, camera, etc. highly recommend.

1. No it cannot be removed from the case.2. It's lightweight around 250 gms without the ipad. the earlier version was not a proper folio. just a back case cover with a magnet.just to add, its now nearly one month since am using it and i wonder why i did not get this earlier. its amazing, battery still working from the first charge..and sure looks good too. anyways its every worth the dollar spent..

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 you will have to remove the case. It is super responsive to touch as well. I like this because it fits my large arms & stays in place!

The iPad just snaps in quite easily and removes just as easily. Whether or not you need another case depends on whether you want to protect your iPad or not. If you want to use it without a keyboard, you surely don't need a case but it is far easier to scratch or damage it when used "naked". You might find two cases are a pain to take with or carry around.

Excellent question. I purchased my otterbox case the same day I purchased my iphone5s. I will remove my iphone from its case and post a review with some pictures within a few days. :)
