Does anyone know if this case supports USB OTG? I didn't even think about it until I read a review of a competing case (Mophie) w/NO USB OTG support.

I'm not sure what OTG is but. If you mean can you connect to your computer thru the usb while the case is on then the answer is yes.

I bought item number 7395064 Micro Connectors USB OTG Cable from Frys.com. It allows you to connect On the Go capable USB devices such as a flash drive, mouse, keyboard, etc. directly to your Smartphone or tablet via Micro USB port. They say it's compatible with latest Android phones & tablets. I picked it up in-store because I needed it right away. But shipping is only $1.99. The adapter has a very short cord and works great...as does the keyboard. Amazon also has a wide variety of USB 2.0 A Female to Micro B Male Adapter Cables too...all with short cords. Read the reviews and pick up the one you like best. All are pretty reasonably priced.

I have the HTC 1 from ATT. I have no problems with the USB fitment. Make sure you open the case (slide up from the hole where the camera is) before you try to put your phone in it. The case doesn't fit snug to the phone though. It rattles a little. I fixed that by adding a small square of foam tape. This case will make your phone really heavy.

The charging port, according to the description (and USB standard specs) is only used to provide power to the USB devices you plug in. This is so that you can use a USB external hard drive (for example) as the USB OTG port will not supply enough power to it. It is NOT intended to charge your phone or tablet.

You get a "this accessory will may not be compatible " error at times. Doesn't affect performance. Bigger issue is quality. Buttons broke - bought 4 total, returning 2, quality and craftsmanship poor. Zero response from their customerservice after multiple attempts . Watch for mophie sales and buy one of theirs. (They answer their phones) ;)

@M.Herrera. Nope. Was told by more than one person including Amazon CS that the HDE is incompatible with the Fire and their is no USB host settings to change on the Fire. I am continuing to look for a case/keyboard and hopefully Amazon will read these posts and add a patch or upgrade! Respectfully: Larry Lambert _______________

The top does not close well, but it is quite possible to hold it with a Mophie case. I did not use for Mophie, though. I was hoping to use it for UNU DX, which do the reason just said, I have up the idea.

It's not always being sold by Mophie. My case came, through Amazon Prime, and felt cheap and poor quality. So I talked to Mophie customer service via chat and they confirmed my serial number was fake. I reported it to Amazon and they really didn't care.

Will it fit the Moto G? I really don't know because i do not own a Moto G....what i have is a Motorola DROID RAZR. As far as i know most Micro USB's do fit into other Micro USB ports for the most part.....as far as it being compatible....is a totally different story but if your main concern is will it fit then i can say yes if the Moto G has a Micro USB port. This cable that your question in regards to is a HDMI cord with a Micro USB plug....so YES it will fit if the Moto G has a Micro USB port....will it be compatible once you plug it in is a different story!

I had the same problem. I returned it to Mophie and they sent me another one. The new one would not connect either. I have it to someone in my office, and they had the same problem.

have not tried it on a tablet. My understanding is that "USB on the go" or OTG, is implemented in all of Samsung's products starting with the Galaxy S II. OTG is a firmware and hardware implementation that is supported by more recent versions of Android. to support OTG, the connector on the device must have 5 instead of 4 pins. When the OTG cable is attached, the 5th pin is used to identify the device that will be host. Sooo, to check run USB OTG Checker and it will tell you if your device is OTG capable: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.usbotgchecker&hl;=en have not tried it on a tablet.

so far i am having no complaints. I too had broken the micro usb on my first mophie. but it was on account of dropping of phone while it was in charging. that caused the breakage. otherwise, it gives me good juice to end my day comfortably.

No. Mophie does not sell any replacement parts for these. I tried to buy a new bottom connector from them because the USB port wore out after a year. No support after the warranty is expired. The case was in great shape but couldn't charge. Tossed it. I liked the case a lot but I won't buy another one.

It's a thumb drive with OTG function. I bought this for my Nexus 2013 but it doesn't work. I had to download an app to open/read the drive. So if you're thinking of purchasing this to use for a Nexus 2013 tablet (OTG), it doesn't work out of the box as advertised.

Hello,Vickie L. Pahkala. Thanks for your inquiry. As to the OTG Cable,it's used to connect your tablet with the keyboard case.As some tablets may only have the micro usb port,thanks for your attention. Meanwhile,you yourself can search the OTG Cable on Google,then you will know its function.

I've heard that it does work with mophie cases... However, headset controller/mic does NOT carry through :( So no volume control/track changes/or phone calls when using this.
