How does this work if your phone has a cover? Does the thickness of the cover plastic get in the way?

The device itself works great, however I have found myself not using it because I have to constantly take my phone case off to use it. If you don't use a case it would be great, if you do use a case I would suggest finding an extension or one that is made to be used with a case. iPhone 4S and 5s....

Yes it does. I had a thick plastic cover over my phone. It you have a thin cover, then you have no problem but you do have to take it off if it's thick

The simple solution to the fit issue is to get a 3.5 mm extension cord for about $5.00. I walked into my local discounter to make sure I got one that would fit. (I once got one mail-order that was a bit too fat. I was easily able to file the plastic finger grip down enough to fit.) With the extension cord, folks in the back seat can even control the music.

I have to pull the corner of my iphone cover off in order to use this, but that's not a big deal for me because I use a soft cover that's easy to take off and put back on.

It does for mine, but that has been issue for me with pass transmitters that I got use to. So unfortunately you will have to remove your phone case/cover before you can use it...at least that is for an iPhone 5.

It would depend on the cover you have. I have a clear plastic carbonate one from Incase and the bottom is open with a slight covering of the corners. The thickness of the plastic cover doesn't effect how the device connects at least for me.

Unfortunately I don't believe it will. I have the extended battery and the added thickness means I can't use that cover.

It sticks out the top. The lid on top won't fully close, it will be sticking up at a ~45 degree angle. Basically there was no tolerance for the original phone dimensions so even the slightest change made the lid uncloseable. Having said that, it does have a swinging lid top so it will work and you can either remove the lid (what I did) or simply swing the lid back.

I cannot answer your question precisely but I have a bumper case and the glass protector, which although thick compared to plastic, is not so thick as to prevent the case from fitting over the phone.

I have found that to counteract the "tightness" of the back cover, hold the phone in your left hand with the phone parallel to your body and the top triangle on the right and pushing with your right thumb to the left is the easiest method of getting the cover to slide off.

The cover is tight to the original phone frame. If the screen protector is thick, it will not work as the cover will probably keep sliding off, or worse, not fit at all.

I really can't say. The screen protector is thicker than the usual but I have tried several different cover/cases and has no problem with any of them.

Anyone tried this with an otterbox? I assume it doesn't work based on the answers about added thickness but it would be a perfect world if it did.

My Otterbox is very thick and isn't fitting in it. If I get the phone in, I may not be able to get it out. I will have to find another kind. I didn't realize it at first. Would go to a store so you can see if it works right there. Sorry for the delay in answering your question.

I have found that when in the phone and after snapping back on the thickness is not notable or a problem with my cases. Not same as yours. Its only in the battery charger that charges just the battery in its own slot that it is tight. Battery is no diff than original otherwise, charging, time etc

Yes, there's a hard clear plastic cover. It makes the phone a bit less sensitive to touch than the flexible plastic covers I think, though probably better protected in the event of a direct screen impact. Seems more likely though for a dropped phone to impact on the back, sides, or front rim, unless it were dropped on an uneven surface like a big rock instead of on the ground.

thinner than a dime - I placed mine between a protective cover and the phone with no problem

It covers the back and around the phone. However I have not had a problem with the protector since is purchased it. It works.

My phone, with case, is .5" thick and it does stay in place albeit not securely.

I'm not gonna lie.. once I put it on...Lol.. I want taking it off. But it works amazingly..I put the rubber cover on first. Then I pour the hard plastic cover over top. You have to kinda spread the case a bit. But to get the rubber to unfold around the face of the phone can get nerve-racking. But patience is key. Like I said, it def has worked nd had kept my phone safe nd secure. Without a doubt.Hope this worked. If not, let me kno bro. GOD Bless.!

I guess it's kind of in between. It does go all the way around the phone tho . And it does bend . Does it protect the phone . Yes . I've dropped it with the case on . Hope I helped :)

I would say it makes it 2 to 2 1/2 times as thick, but still not bad. It does have a "rubbery" texture which may make it harder to slide in/out of a pocket, I wear mine on my belt. It is slimmer than other otter boxes I've had. Very nice product if you're hard on your phones like I am.
