I have the Otterbox Defender for my iPhone 5,will the lightning connector fit with the case on? Also is it more durable than the OEM wire from Apple?

If a regular apple charger fits in, this one will as well. As for the wire, it's a bit more stronger. The only problem is that it may not charge with certain USB ports.

I can't comment on the case since I just have a regular rubber bumper around mine. But with the cable durability, I knocked my phone on the floor while it was plugged in and the piu that goes in to the phone came out of the cable and got lodged in my phone, I had to get a pair of tweezers to get it out. The cable is not that great in my opionion from my experience and I had only had the cable for less then four days when that happened. I have knocked over my phone with the same cable from apple and another generic one and it was fine, never had any issues with them breaking of inside my phone.

I have the iPhone life proof and it fits in well! They modified the cable thinking of the customer so it fits most to all case types.

Yes, I use an Otterbox Defender for iPhone5 with this case. It fits snuggly, but it's not difficult to remove and replace. It's more comfortable than the Otterbox belt clip, and feels more secure.

The lightning connector is bigger than the original Apple design for increased durability. Mostly likely it will not fit the lifeproof case.

Hi Lynn. Thank you for asking this question. Yes, it will accommodate an Otter Case - and in fact it will fit any case using Apple's design specifications. If your Otter case will allow an Official Apple Lightning Connector end to fit into your iPhone, then this Lightningfast connector end will fit too - the dimensions of Apple and Lightningfast connectors are the same. I hope that helps answer your question. Please let us know if you have any others!

It fits the iPhone 4 and the iphone 5 with otterbox defender cases perfectly; i have both. I used to have trouble with other cords, but not this one!

Probably. The base is just slightly larger than the stock apple lightning wire so if there is a little extra room around your existing cable and the Otter box, it should work. The apple leather case that I have is just slightly too snug but I have slowly been enlarging the hole to make it work.

Hi Jose - yes it will. The connector end is an official component from Apple. MFi licensed charger coonectors are EXACTLY the same as those found within the box of your Apple device. Otterbox cases make their cases to Apple's specifications meaning that the connector end will fit into the iPhone with the case - no problem.

The answer is definitely not. I just received mine today and it will not work with otterbox defender on.

I have an iPhone 4 with an otter box defender case, probbaly one of the biggest cases out there and it fits fine, the adapter is essentially like the regular charging cable.

Connections are fairly substantial. I'm unsure if it will fit with beefier cases. I use it on an iPhone 4s and an ipad 3. I don't have cases for either bit I am not sure. They perform flawlessly for my needs. I checked it on a life proof case and it seemed too big for that case without forcing it. Unsure about otter.

Yes that's actually the reason I bought it as well. I have the life proof nuud case on my iPhone 5 and it works just like the regular lightning cable

This will not work with the Otterbox Defender, the case is too thick, that includes all models from 3 , on up to 5s

The lightning cable will fit through the corresponding hole. However, if you use the 30 to 8 pin adapter on older cables, you will have to lift the lower portion of the case for the adapter to fit. Overall, I love the case. It clearly shows the color on the back and it adds good protection without a lot of bulk.

Yes, it will. I have an Iphone 5 with the Defender Otterbox case, and it all fits nicely into this belt loop holster. No more broken belt clips and the phone is easy to put in and to take out of the holster.

I have a iPhone 5 with an Otterbox case and it worked fine. It ended up breaking for other reasons though.

Thank you for your interest in our products. To answer your question, yes, if you are using a Mophie case that has the Lightning connector, then the dockXtender for Lightning cable would allow you to extend that connection out, allowing you to use it to charge an iPhone 5 or 6 with the Otterbox Commuter case on (just like an external battery pack).

not sure what kind otterbox/case on your iPhone 5, hopefully not too thick at the bottom, if too thick, the connection with 8Pin connector would be poor thus not working properly.
