Can the ipod be docked on a device with the case on?

Hi Traci, The Otterbox Defender case can NOT be docked on most portable sound docks because of the thickness at the bottom of the case where the connector is. The sounddock I tried my Ipod Touch on was the Bose Sounddock. I was told by the tech at Bose that it was an Apple issue and the only way to play/charge the Ipod on the dock was to buy a case that the bottom was completely open instead of individual openings for the lightning connector. These types of cases are thinner. i bought one of these cases at Walmart, and they work! However, now my Otterbox Defender case is useless, unless I wanted to remove it every time I wanted to play it on the sounddock. Sorry for the lengthy explanation . Hope this helped.

Since I only have an iPhone I can't answer your question about he iPod docking.

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.

Yes. I have used both my iPhone 4 and my iPod in the docking station and they work fine. One thing that could cause trouble is the size of your phone case. My phone case is small and it fits. A large case would need to be removed to use the dock.

No you should not have to remove the case because it uses a cord to plug into your headphones jack of the device and you just set your device into the dock.

Does the case and screen protector mean the iPod Touch will no longer fit in a docking station? (and thanks for all this information - it's appreciated!)

Absolutely not. In addition to being very cheap and quick to break, this docking station cannot accommodate and iPhone in any kind of case. It's nice to look at but not very functional or well made

Absolutely no problem seating the iPod Nano on the Bose SoundDock Series III speaker for playing/charging. The case is pliable and not a hindrance.

The dock won't work with the case. The case does come with a two position stand thatis handy.

Yes, you should be able to do that. While docked, anything you do on the phone will be reflected via the speakers. I use Spotify on my iPhone 5 while it is docked to play music.

Yes. Docks don't work with most cases. The only notable exceptions are OEM cases from Samsung, and even then they may not work.

I don't think you can. We've only used this for my sons iPod but with the case on it sorta muffles the sound a bit. Not enough to not hear it but I would think it would probably interfere with using it as a phone while the case is on.

No the ihome has a radio in it, so you can play the radio without having the ipad docked.

Good question. Honestly, I don't know if you can dock with this case or not. I don't have a docking station. i just plug in my USB/power cable and line/headphone-out cable.

no, the case needs to be removed to fit into the dock so both cannot be used simultaneously.

Hi Ali! Thank you for your inquiry! All of our docking units are designed to work with the bare iPad, iPhone or iPod. Cases often interfere with proper docking causing these sort of problems. Aiste BisonOffice

Yes you can charge your ipod with the case on it. We have otter boxes on the iphone, ipods, and tablets and you never have to remove them to charge any of them
