What slim cases are people successfully using with this charger? Are you using the case+phone combo with the charger insert removed to add extra space? EDIT: Sorry, guess I should have mentioned I already own this charger (and love it!). ^^ Just...

I have 2 different cases. When I bought my cases I just made sure in the title it said slim case.

Hi, As I read in many post in the web, I found that problem could be the same with the charge port for many reasons ... I would say that maybe would work for you case but I cannot complety sure it. I hope this help to you ...

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.

So, if you have a case it won't charge properly? I have an iPhone 4 with a slim rubber case and am worried that if I buy this product, I'll have to remove my iPhone from the case every time I want to dock it.. would that be the case?

I have the same phone, as does my husband. His case is different than mine, he can use the charger in the case, and I can't. It has to do with the shape of the cutout around the charger socket. I can hold it in place and get a charge, but it's kind of at a slant and I'm sure that's not how it's meant to be used. It does work well, the best solution would be to get a different case, check the opening before you buy it. A less ideal solution would be to carve out a little more space around the opening on the one you have.

Well, I noticed my charger that came with the phone, fits with the case on it. I have tried others that I had that were universal but the cover to it was too narrow for them. So I figure it just depends on how big the end of the charger is. Hope this helps.

Well, it's good if you have a regular phone charger, it comes with one but it's a short cord. And ignore the bad reviews because I haven't had a problem with it yet. But the only negative is that it does take a while to charge the case after the phone is done charging. I would recommend getting a back up iPhone charger though. Hope that helps :)

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.

the case really hampers Qi charging. I have a pad that has a generous charging area that works perfectly with the case off, but with the case on I have to move it around until it 'finds' a spot to charge at full charging speed. Make no mistake, the charging is never 100% prevented, but unless I find that spot the phone shows a message telling me that the charging isn't happening as fast as it should.

There is a decent amount of room to fit a case with this charger. However honestly, I don't know as I haven't seen the case you're speaking of. Works great with my 5, but I don't even know if the new ones have the same charge parts.

Not seeing your Otter Box case but knowing that O.B. makes fairly bulky cases, the best I can tell you is when I remove the insert so that the charger has it's widest opening, you gain about 1/8" space around each end and side of the phone, and about 1/16" in both the front and back. Not sure if that's enough for that particular case or not. Also, opening around hole for charging port needs to be wide enough to fit over a small seat on charger, but I'm guessing that could be done by filing a larger hole in case if you need to.

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.

It comes with an insert that can be removed to accomodate "bumper" style cases. I use this charger with the Poetic Borderline Bumper case for example, look it up if you want a reference. If the case adds more than about 2mm to the phone's outer dimensions or changes the shape or thickenss of the phone I don't think it would work.

I have this case & LOVE it! I have to slide my keyboard a little bit to get charger plugged in but I do not have to remove it entirely! It's really not that big a deal! And it works a very long time between charges which is great! Hope this helps!

I think I understand your question, but please feel free to ask again if I did not answer it to your satisfaction. I actually have kept using the case and it works well except that the items on the edges are hard to use because there isn't enough space in from the end of the phone and where the case begins. Does that make sense?

I put it on my wife's GS4 & used the regular back; didn't notice any bulge at all. Put her Otterbox case back on just fine too. The charger works just fine through the thick case too.

No need to remove the case for charging. Its perfectly working with the case. :)
