What car charger actually works with the Defender case?

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

Mine works with the defender case so I'm sure it will work with the commuter.

I don't know. That is a problem that you must research yourself. I do not have a defender case and have never used one. But I do know that if you take your Samasung Galaxy S4 phone out of the case, this cradle charger will work just fine. After all, you must remove the phone to change batteries....

This will not work with the more expensive otterboxes. Think its the defender series. Will not work with iPods in the otterbox either. If you have just a regular bumper case from Apple, its works fine. Might be one of the best purchases I ever did. I have one iPhone, 4 iPods and an iPad and everyone would fight for the one cord charger. I recommend.

It charges mine! Some cases are too thick tho, but i use the bumper case and it works great.

Both this charger and the iPhone's AC charger use Apple's standard 8-pin connector. If you can plug in and charge at home thru the Otterbox case you can plug in this charger. Hope that helps.

I have tried several cases and the thicker charging back will not fit in any of them. Otterbox included.. I use a jel case that almost fits when I charge wireless. The charger works great.

mine didn't work with anything. Its a generic usb port, so if your cable is USB on one end, then its supposed to work as any car charger would.

This is recommendation to cover the possibility that a thick case will prevent your phone from charging. I've tested this charger with the Ringke Fusion and Distronic TPU cases and have had no problems. I would imagine a thinner Otterbox like the Commuter would have no issues, but someone else with a thicker one like the Defender would have to chip in here.

Depends on the otterbox. Since this uses suction cups (not magnets or adhesive) you have to have a reasonably smooth back for it to hold. The wireless charging feature will work through the case best if you supply it with at least 2 amps via the USB, so use one of those "tablet / ipad" car-to-USB converters if you have one.

Yes this will work. I own this product and it works very well. I love the car charger perfect for outings.

I don't have an otter box but as long as your home charger that comes with the phone hooks up with that case then the car charger will too. They both have the same small plug. Hope that helps you.

IT DOES NOT WORK WITH THE OTTER BOX DEFENDER CASE. I had to grind a good portion of the plastic around the lightning terminal for it to fit through the casing and charge my IPHONE 5s. I am not too happy about it since I both all 3 products here on Amazon: the otter box defender case, the belt clip/pouch, and this charging cable.

A standard Belkin car charger will work, with the Micro-USB cable. I use the same one that I charge my phone with...a GS4.

The transceiver works with virtually any case. When installed correctly, the back deflects or bulges only minutely, if at all - fare less than a millimeter. It did not interfere with my 2 part rigid carbon fiber case, 2 part Case Logic case nor an Otterbox Defender. The same is true of the charger itself; none of the cases interfered with charging.

It will not work with the Defender Otter Box. However, if you look at the hard plastic part of the case where you insert the charger, you will see a very small "lip" of plastic. I am sure it will void any warranty, BUT if you shave the lips off either side, it will fit without affecting the case IMO.
