I agree. I've had the phone for months and it's a major annoyance. Here's what to do: You have to close the flap and then seal it slowly from one side to the other with one finger, while you hold the flap in place with the other finger, until the groove catches. Honestly, it took me a while to figure that out, but it will stay in place if you do it correctly. You'll get it, just keep messing with it.

I have had that a couple of times and my solution was to remove the back plate and make sure the charging contacts are fullyy engaged. In my specific case I have the charging pad mounted to the underside of my back plate not to the battery. Ive also bent the snout of the charging pad (where the contacts are located) away from the underside of the back plate so when mounting the back plate the contacts can line up better. This is not necessary if youve taped the charging plate to the battery. If youve taped the charging plate to the battery and your confident the charging contacts are fully engaged then I would look to the I have had that a couple of times and my solution was to remove the back plate and make sure the charging contacts are fullyy engaged.

I've used this belt clip/holster for a couple years and have never had any issues other than the belt clip breaking at the hinge. I can't imagine the holster having anything to do with your charging port issue unless you are charging the phone while it is still snapped into the belt clip/ holster. Be sure to charge you Mophie out of the belt clip holster.

I have to take mine out of its cover to put into the charging dock. It is just too tight of a fit with it on.

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.

i never said that buttons & ports were covered.. i said that i didnt like the screen protertor & that i took it off.. but back to your question.. the hole for the charger&ear; buds are covered but the cover flipps back so that nothing could get stuck into the holes.

Well just to make sure I am going to do a step by step:1)Peal back the rubber around the charging port and headphone jack.2)Peal the rubber off the entire case3)Using a thin screw driver, or even your fingernail, pry at the clasp latch at the top of the phone/case till it comes free4)Now pry at the two side latches located at the top of the phone5)Do the bottom side ones, and now it should come off without any issues. Hope this helps you out!

That's how I managed to rip off the flap for the phone charger :-/ It's actually really difficult to reopen the case. When I did it, and not really understanding the anatomy of the case, I used my thumb to open the phone charger flap, and began attempting to gingerly pry it open. I think this action resulted in the tear and loss of the phone charger flap. The back protector will only protect the apple logo sticking out. I don't recommend opening it up again.

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.

Not from what I encountered cause I lost my charger port cover and this one didn't close it completely

I always have my phone vertical when charging it and I never have to mess with it to get it to start charging. I've put it in landscape mode a few times and it seems to work pretty well. I had to adjust it once to start charging but that's being pretty picky. I wouldn't have any reservations about buying another one

I have had no trouble. Just make sure everything on phone is snapped well..the charge cover is the only thing I stress over it feels loose...case however seems to root water off.

Daniel, that's a great question. Regarding the charger cut-out, there is a hole for it when the phone is in the case. Fairly standard right? however, you cannot access the charging cut-out if the phone is in the belt clip holder. I have to remove the phone from the belt clip holder to charge. Not a big deal but something to note. I don't think it has any cut outs for credit cards, if that's what you were referring to when you mentioned cards. Thanks for the question

Unfortunately, I do not know about the charging cover option. It fits the standard cover perfectly.

you might have to do what my son did which was cut the cover over the charger port (that's where those plug in correct?). You may not even have to do that, the rubber is more flexible in my opinion as compared to the the orginial defender series. Hope that helps.

There IS MOST DEFINITELY a tab that pops out -- I just did it. It exposes the speakers and the lightning charging cable port. Its not a "flap" however and while you could put it back its not a one-two step. And by removing the tab I would guess you compromise the waterproof nature of the case

I have iPad 4, I love it. It protects the device. To open the flap I have to use my nail lightly to lift it, but I still would get it again. Buttons are accessible. Connecting the charger was a little tight with the cover, but really no problem. Hope this helps Thelma.
