I know this doesn't work with the defender case on. is there a cradle charger that will work with the case on ?

I don't know. That is a problem that you must research yourself. I do not have a defender case and have never used one. But I do know that if you take your Samasung Galaxy S4 phone out of the case, this cradle charger will work just fine. After all, you must remove the phone to change batteries....

You can use any micro USB cable to charge that case. It does work. Does it take longer? I don't really know because I never didn't evaluation, however I would guess yes probably a little longer but it still works

As I do not have an otter box defender case , cannot make a judgment. It does work with other cases though and extra batteries

I don't know if it works with the defender, but I was using it on my Note 3 with a different hard case (the Spiegen Thin Ultra Fit) and it got incredibly hot while charging. I ended up not using it anymore.

I dont have to for the charger I bought. Its the rnd upright cradle. Otherwise it snaps on and off easily just be careful of not hitting the power button too much when applying or removing case as power button is known to be fragile.

The Otter case I bought didn't work with this dock. I bought a different holster and just dock the phone now..

To those who have answered: Links for adapters that work with this charger cradle would be most helpful. :-)The adapter I found is long and may be too high for an iPad to sit in this cradle(?)

You cannot, at least not with the cradle I have. I am also looking for a compatible external charger.

We have a new dock that works for thicker cases like the otterbox. If there is an hesitation take a look at this dock. RND Dock for Samsung Galaxy S3 and/or S4 with Dock mode cable and 2.1A Charger (compatible without or with a case) (black)

It works fine with a Seidio SURFACE Case and Holster Combo, which looks to be similar... And I like this charger a lot - have two of them, have no scratching issues, and keep a spare battery charged in both.

My husband uses an Otterbox case and it charges just fine with it on. I use a hard slim case and it also works with no problems. We LOVE our charger and would never go back to plugging in our phones.

I do have a case on my phone and it works great. The way this case is made it has a cover that goes over the front of phone so it will not get scatched and the back is the regular back on the phone but it is all one piece. It looks like a book.anyway this will slide into the charger and it works great. Hope this helps. I think the other covers will not work with charger because it is a snug fit.

It works with all my cases but not sure which case you have. Yes it works with a dock just fine since it's just an extension cord.

Yes it works very well. However you can't have a case on it at all. I have several slim cases and none of them work with the charging dock.

I have a silicone case on my S3 and this charger works just fine. Another bonus is you can still receive incoming calls while charging. I have found some generic chargers will send calls to voice mail.

The Charge + Sync Dock is case-compatible so it should work. For best results, you may need to remove the case to dock.

Yes the charger works with this case. However if you want to use an external speaker dock you need to purchase an adapter from Lifeproof.
