Will USB OTG storage devices work with the case still on?

No, it will not work!Antonio, I do not know if you really tried this, but the OTG does not work on the Nexus5 with this battery pack on.I just had a discussion with Limefuel Support and they said clearly that it does not support OTG.Since this answer is here since May (4 months already) I wonder why Limefuel did not intervene to make this clear for everybody.

Maybe someone with more hands-on experience could help, but this typically won't work. The connection with the slimport cable and the usb port on your device needs to be a straight path without splitters. Will work fine with a flash drive and charging if your device rom supports OTG charging.

Some micro USB plugs have casings that are too big for some case/bumper covers, you have to remove the case cover (if you have one). Other than that I haven't had problems connecting the OTG to any of my devices, in fact mine actually feels a bit loose.

Works on mine, running the same. It just shows up like any other USB External Hard Drive would. Just remember not to force the drive into the case. (They may ship you the wrong screws at first)

I don't know for sure, but the device should have USB on the go (OTG) feature for this to work

Not anymore, as far as I can tell. It also slides out the slot very easily so that you lose your USB connections. Not worth it in my opinion, I don't even use mine anymore.

Probably, It matters what you're downloading from. A Flash Drive? Definitely. A portable Hard Drive, probably not. Whatever you plug into this OTG will be powered by your device, Nextbook in this case, so small things work fine (USB mouse, keyboard, thumb stick etc.) Bigger things won't draw enough power to run

I don't believe so. I have not found a usb OTG cable that allows you to charge your host device. This is essentially a powered usb hub - it allows you to attach a usb hard drive or other power-hungry devices. The power input does not go to the host.

Has anyone tried to connect an external HD to the USB port and saved their files?

Possibly there is no gurantee depending on how new or oldbut if its fairly new with usb you should be fine. But no gurantees

Not a problem. The usb 3.0 ports on the case will not work obviously but the usb 2.0 ports can be connected to your motherboard's usb 2.0 headers. I have an older Asus micro atx board without usb 3.0 in this case and it is perfectly functional.

If it's an open-base case, then it should work. For best results, remove the case to dock.

for any phone/tablet, NO. It purely depends on the device actually. OTG (on the go) hardware and drivers should be there in the device for it to access this flash drive or any storage device via the usb port. If it does support, then file explorer will work. To check if your device does support, i think there is an app in android called USB OTG checker or something like that. If the device is not running android and there is no app, buy a cheap OTG cable, plug in your portable hard disk and see if it reads. although, be careful with the OTG cables as they can easily damage the device's usb port.

USB On-The-Go, often abbreviated USB OTG or just OTG, is a specification that allows USB devices such as digital audio players or mobile phones to act as a host, allowing other USB devices like a USB flash drive, digital camera, mouse, or keyboard to be attached to them. Unlike conventional USB systems, USB OTG systems can drop the hosting role and act as normal USB devices when attached to another host. This can be used to allow a mobile phone to act as host for a flash drive and read its contents, downloading music for instance, but then act as a flash drive when plugged into a host computer and allow the host to read data from the device.

perhaps, if you have media on an sd card or on another storage device w/usb cable, the my be of use

Yes and No...Yes; only if the external drive is a "bare drive" (not in an enclosure)...No; if the hard drive is enclosed in a case.

It acts as a flash drive when connected via a USB cable; so as long as you can connect via USB your will be OK.
