Does the phone have to be removed from a case to be placed in the dock?

Yes, you have to remove the phone from the case to place it in the dock. I prefered the soft rubber case which came off easily, but if you use a hard case that is timely to remove, you may want to reconsider the dock.

I found this dock works only without the case. I had to remove my very thin silicone case In order for the phone to fit in the dock.

No, I had to take mine out of the case for it to fit on the docking station.

No it won't fit into the dock.Just the phone as it came from the factory,but in my case the dock would not charge it anyway.It is a piece of junk and threw mine in the trash.

Yes it is. That is what i have. You cant put the phone on dock with case on

No, it will not fit if it has any case on the phone. You'll need to remove the phone from the case to use this dock.

It has a secure docking port on the back. I find it easy to get out and easy to store. I don't believe it would come out accidentally

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.

nope it doesn't. Only the device fits, you have to take the protector out in order to set the phone into the docking.

No. I have a galaxy phone with a slim case and I still have to remove the case for it to fit properly and secure. It's a wonderful dock otherwise. I love it

Unfortunately, no... the dock is designed to securely hold the device's exact dimensions only. Any case the phone is in must be removed before you can place it in the dock. This is especially important because even if you could successfully force the device into the dock, while in a protective case, the permanently-mounted connector which provides power (for charging), can optionally deliver audio to an external device (your car stereo) and, most importantly, activates the vehicle dock home screen and it's associated features, will no longer line up, and so would not connect.

I don't think you should have an issue! If you have a case of any kind on it, you may just have to remove that, but otherwise, I feel they give you plenty of room to fit your device on the dock!

No. You have to remove the cover to use the docking station. Very inconvenient.

The dock I received has a removable insert. With the insert in, the phone fits perfectly without a case. Taking the insert out allows the phone to fit in the dock with a thinner TPU or rubber case. Anything heavier - Otterbox commuter, for example - would probably be too thick. Hope this helps.

No. With the case on it's too large for the dock. To be fair I don't know of any case that would let you do that as the iPod docks were made to fit case-less iPods.

I have not used the dock for charging. The case is very sturdy and I found it easy to remove.

Yes you have to remove it. And the case doesn't work very good. Only if you're not going to use your phone for a long period. Is very hard to take the case off the phone though
