The mophie covers up the input to use my earphones, or to plug it into my cars lighter to listen through the radio. Do I have to take the bottom part of the mophie off to use the earphones?

No, Mophie includes a short extension plug to put the headphone jack in an accessible spot. It hangs out a bit, but is functional.

Weeeeellll, I disagree with most of the other answers here. It does come with an extender, but the extender shorts out. Check Amazon for the Mophie extenders that are sold here and the comments. My extender shorted after about 60 days of light use (can only hear on one side of headphones.) So, am left with the choice of removing battery to use headphones or buying another extender - which appears to be a pattern. Am awaiting a Mophie response on this issue - am considering getting rid of the case in the meantime.

Once on you don't ever have to take off. You can charge or use earphones or aux cord with out taking out of the cover

There is only one protected opening where I use my earbuds. Unless you can plug them in there, I'd have to say, no.

That's a good question because I've had that with other cases too. Not this one. The input is cut out large enough to easily connect headphones. I use the Apple iPhones and there is a little space all around the connection once it is plugged in. I really think this is a terrific case.

Sorry for the late reply.. took a couple days to flag her down.. She said that she does not have to remove the case to use her headphones..There is a little spot/flap that she can lift and plug them in. Hope that helps :-)

While I know its not safe to bike with ear buds, you can close the zipper at the top just enough for the wire to come through. The annoying part is on the new iphone the plug is at the bottom of the phone so the phone has to be upside down in the case.

Good question, I noticed it depends on the cord. The earphones provided with the phone fit in perfectly of course, and so all other kind of earphones. So far I had trouble only when I wanted to attach the phone to some external speakers that had a slightly wider cord entrance, and in that case I should have removed the case to make it to work, but instead I had an extension cord that solved my problem. So I think in general for earphones you should be fine, while for other external devices like speakers you may need an extension or some extra attachment but that something easy to find.

I listen to music while I run. The cord to my earphones plugs into my android phone. There are two zippers. The cord simply passes through a small opening at the end of the zipper.

When the iphone is just in the case, the bottom is completely exposed. When the cell phone is slid into the holster/carrier, then the bottom is mostly covered with only the audio port exposed.

You remove the rubber ear gasket when connecting to the headset. You use one or the other. Not both at the same time.

The speakers are not covered, so the sound quality does not seem to be effected. That said, the sound is somewhat directed. If the sound level is low, and you are listening to music or a podcast, you want to point the bottom of the phone in your general direction, not away from you. At higher sound levels, it doesn't seem to matter much.

It starts were it left off when using the earphones. It doesn't if you use it in the car.

No problem what so ever. Plenty of room at opening to plug in. I use the earphones that came with my phone.

I've not tried it in the car at all because in my state, it's illegal to drive with headphones in your ear. It keeps you from hearing sounds of the road like horns and sirens. As far as phone goes, there is a button you press when you get an incoming call to answer the call. Pretty cool, and the ear buds work great for listening to your call.

In California it's illegal to cover "both" ears with headphones or insert ear buds in "both" ears while driving a car, motorcycle or bicycle. It's considered a safety issue. I have no idea what the laws are in other states.

No, the aux port isn't covered, there is a hole in the case where the aux port attaches. I have no issue attaching my headphones or the aux cable in my car to the phone in the case. Additionally there isn't a cover over the micro-USB port and I charge my phone in the case all the time.
