Will iphone 5s still charge on a dock with the Otterbox case, or is it too large?

I've never tried to charge it on a dock, but my best guess: no. The hole for the charging plug is set back into the case so that a rubber cover can flip up and secure over it. I definitely would not be able to sit flush on a charging dock (unless the dock was designed to overcome this). But again, I've never tried it...just my best guess.

I know it works just fine with a normal charger. I think it would be awkward to put it on a dock because of the flap that covers the charger port. It would more than likely work though

I dock my iphone4S with an Element Case and it has no problems. The Element case is an Aluminum Bumper with a self sticking pistol grip on the back. It easily takes a radtech (or similar product) dock extender for larger cases.

Yes, the phone will not fit onto a dock with the case in place; but no, the case does not have to be removed to charge with the Apple-supplied charger.

No. I have the speck case which is pretty thin and rubbery and it doesn't fit. I don't have a problem with it because when I had my iPhone it wouldn't fit with the case on the iPhone Dock either.

Thanks for the question. Most cases fit on the dock with no trouble, there is enough space for almost any thickness case, e.g. Otterbox cases fit fine. However, depending on how your case is designed, the audio and USB plugs may or may not fit through the case. In most instances it's OK, but if your case has unusually small openings for the audio and USB ports it might be a problem.

It will not. I had to remove my phone from the case before each use with the dock. Other than that the dock was very useful.

I do not have a docking device for the 5s so I cannot answer that question. The bottom opening is wide enough so the headphone connection is not covered and the plastic cover is thin but pretty durable.

To charge with a dock the case must be removed. If you are using the charger you received with your I5s, there should be a port to allow you to charge in the case.

I charge my iPhone 5 in this case all the time. It has never had any issues. I'm not sure if there is a battery issue between the 5 and the 5S, but I haven't had trouble. I haven't had a reason to take my phone out of the case in the 2 months I've owned it.

It really depends on the thickness of the "thin case" and whether or not you want to "squeeze" it in the dock or not. I have a "thin" case too, but quit using it because it was to tight of squeeze (for me). If you want to contact me offline, I'd be glad to answer specific questions via email/phone call or even show you the dock via "Google Hangouts". Use the "msn" dot com email; put blaqhawk@ before it, and I'll answer any questions you might happen to have. -Adam

I have an otter box on my iPhone and can charge with it on, also with my iPad cases on as well.

The dock is designed only for the iPhone 6. It may not fit, if the case is too thick.

Although I have not used a dock, only power cords supplied with my iPhone, it looks as if you'll not have a problem, but you need to consider that the case , by its very nature, also protects the bottom of the phone and therefore adds a bit of width between the power cord connection slot and the outer edge of the case.

Yes. It should be no different than plugging a charging device in with the Otterbox in place.

Yes, I have an Otterbox Commuter series case for my iPhone 5 and it works just fine. It's a good cable. Wish I didn't have to turn the volume up so high when using Pandora but volume seems to be a problem with docking as well.

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).

I have an 'antique' :o) IPhone 4 with an Otter Commuter case on it. I believe the '5s' are lighter and thinner. The Rabbit Mini works great with mine, vertically and horizontally even with the charger on.
