Do you actually have to remove the bottom part of the case to charge the phone, or does it have a cut-out?

There is an ample cut-out for the charger and speaker holes and for the headphone jack.

No! You can charge it without removing the bottom part. I haven't removed it ever since I bought it, no need to
876178
You don't have to remove the bottom part when are charging it. The only time you have to remove it is when you have it connected to a raidio or speakers

no. is not necessary to remove the bottom. works well with full protective. the truth I have never needed to disarm. while I have it and just change per color

You need to remove the lower portion when docking to a device like CD player, but not if you are charging via the lightening charging cord. The lower portion slides off and then back on again quite easily.

Mark, vertical/horizontal the charging slot is accessible, the case has a cutout opening so you don't have to take out of the case.

I do not remove the case to charge my phone. I have not removed the case since I put it on. I have not dropped my phone but I feel the case is strong and sturdy. I'm thrilled with my phone case and purchased two other cases for friends.

There is a cutout that allows the charger head to plug into an iPhone. I have a Speck CandyShell case & it fits into the station just fine. If using an iPhone charging cord, it will feed up from the bottom cutout with no problem. It also has notches on either side of the clear case to hold up & rest the cord so it doesn't fall back down into the hole. It's worth the buy. I have 3. One attached to my nightstand near bed, one attached to tile wall in bathroom so I can listen to music & 1 attached to kitchen wall while I'm cooking... Hope this helps.

Yes it charges with the phone inside it. You don't have to take it out. Cool ha?

No, it doesn't have cut-outs for the power and volume buttons. That does make the buttons a bit harder to push, but I've gotten used to it. On the plus side, you can see the color of the buttons through the case.

It does have a slot open on the bottom that allows a bottom charging phone to work...but it does not look like there is enough room between the bottom and the table top to allow it. I have a Note 2, which charges from the bottom and I have to charge it while laying on its side. There is not enough room for the cable if the phone is sitting upright...all that being said, I really like the stand...the rubber band things help a lot

No..you do not have to remove the case to charge the phone. The case is extremely hard to get off once you put it on. It does slip nicely into the holster though...even though mine broke on the first day. The case is awesome though!

no. there is not an opening in the bottom for the cell phone charging cord. There is no opening at all.

You place your phone in the charger as you would a phone case and it connects to the hole in the bottom of your phone!Not sure about all of them being defective however mine does cut off and on, It works best when I power down my phone and charge it that way!

There is a cut out at the bottom . My regular and car charger both fit through it fine.

Yea there is a hole at the bottom that fits the charger without taking it off.

At the bottom there's a little flip down handle. Just pull the bottom piece down and plug in the cable. You don't need to take off the case to charge it.

You have to open to case to get to the mini usb plug for the charging. No big deal.

Hello, for your information, I never take away the case when I charge the phone, no matter directly from the charger or charging pad. WHY?
1398447
No. The back has to touch the pad in order to charge and the case makes the phone a little longer because of the unit that plugs into the bottom of the phone.

It is 1 piece that covers the right and left sides of the phone. It does not interfere with charging the phone and has a cutout spot for the volume.
