will this dock work with an iphone 5s inside an otterbox defender series case? i'm worried that the phone with the case may be too big to fit.

No it won't. I have one of the slim TPU cases and it barely fits. The Otterbox case you referenced is much too large to use with this or any similar dock.

That was my plan, but connection did not fit on my dock. The dock works with my phone without case. So I believe the cord is faulty.

Yes. I have an iPhone 5s. It does require an adapter though. Its called a 30 to 8 adapter. Basically an adapter that connects the old, longer style plug at the the bottom of the iPhone to the newer, smaller style. The only downfall to this is now the phone does not sit in the dock. I have my tower tucked in a corner, but I can definitely see where the the phone could get knocked off because it does not rest in the hole more like on top of the hole. For the price, you can't beat it.

The dock is designed to fit not only an iPod touch 4th generation but also an iPad. I don't see a reason that it shouldn't work. As long as the phone isn't thicker than a iPod or iPad. I know for my iPod I have to take off my case to make it fit onto the dock. That being said I love this dock.

I just got one of these docks myself, and found that Galaxy Note 3 in an Otterbox Commuter series case (their thinnest case) will not connect to the dock. Since the charging port cover on the case doesn't close properly anyway, and blocks docking, I cut that flap off, then filed out the charging opening in the outer shell slightly to accommodate the base of the USB3 connector, and the phone STILL will not dock with the case installed. It won't dock *reliably* even with just the silicone liner of the case in place. I just talked to Otterbox and they have no suggestions. The annoying thing is that it looks as though it WOULD work, if only the spring-loaded base of the dock had about another 2mm-3mm of travel. (Samsung, are you listening? ...Probably not.) It's extremely annoying having to choose between "Case that will protect my phone" and "Case that will still let me dock my phone". Can anyone perhaps offer any tips for cases known to fit and work for this dock? Perhaps we can at least take the guesswork out of which cases will work with the dock and which won't. I'll start: OtterBox cases WILL NOT work with this dock.

I do not have an iPhone so not sure about that, but if the 5s has the 8 pin lightning connection than yes. This docking station has the 8 pin lightning connection, not the original 30 pin

I can't, I don't run a case, but there is quite a bit of extra space around the dock it pretty much sits on top and almost floats, so the only problem would be the length of the connector, if its long enough to fit in the slot through the case.

Yes, i have used it with the following iPhone 5 cases: Mophie Air, Mophie Helium, Life Proof, Griffen bumper, and tons more. I think it the max is going to be a Otterbox defender.

I use it with my Luvvitt case for my 5s with no problem. I would contact this seller. I have before & he responds quickly.

I believe it will not fit for your case. I'm not giving you my own opinion. I went to iBolt website and found this "The iBOLT Dock is designed to be compatible with most cases up to 2.5 mm thick, including Otterbox Commuter type but it does NOT work with the Otterbox Defender or Ballistic (unfortunately). " http://www.ibolt.co/ibpf-33307

No OtterBox are to wide cell will not fit on dock station. it does work well with a slim cover on phone. product works great.

Not sure about Otterbox, but it will not work with LifeProof case... iPhone needs to be out of the case to sit in dock.

I have the otterbox commuter case and use this dock. It works well. My only complaint is that if you plan on using the headphone jack while docked you have to bend the flap back. As far as fitting it fits great with the otterbox, I have had an Incipio case on the phone and it is really loose while in the dock.

I would doubt any case the size of an otterbox would fit. I have yet to use my dock/holder because of it. It would have to be a REALLY sheer case to work (and I'm not even sure it would allow for that).

I use it with a note 3 in an otter box defender. It's a bit tight but works very well. An iPhone 5S should fit perfect.

Not sure. The Speck Gemshell case looks like it may be a thicker case. It will work with thin cases (sleeves, etc.). I had an Otterbox Commuter case that did not fit. The dock has an insert that comes out if using a "thin" case. My wife has a KLD Oscar II Ultra-thin case that works, but it's tight.

This is a great dock, but it only works with your case off. Even a slim silicon case will have to come off. The Otterbox will definitely have to come off each time. I liked the dock so much I finally just used the phone without a case at all. Good Luck!
