The only thing I can tell you is the plug is the same size as the iPhone plug for the wall charger and that it's able to move(flap)back and forth. Just thinking about now I would have to say that the iPhone with outer box on would not fit.

Hi Michael Thank you for contacting us here at RND. The car dock will not fit the Otterbox case. You would have the remove it. Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with. RND

YES! I bought the otter box and the car dock at the same time. That's when I realized you cant use both at the same time. Now I just use the dock for long distance trips.

Great idea! This is my only grip about the dock, thus far.The Otterbox Defender and Commuter are definitely not compatible.

Hi Ali! Thank you for your inquiry! All of our docking units are designed to work with the bare iPad, iPhone or iPod. Cases often interfere with proper docking causing these sort of problems. Aiste BisonOffice

I do t know what an otter box is but my iPad has a cover on it and it fits just fine.

My IPhone 5 can be docked, but you have to take all the covers and protectors off in order for it to fit. I purchased an extension plug but it didn't work well. If you want to leave your covers on the phone you can plug it in with a charging cord from the back of the radio and set it on top. Everything will still sync up that way too. As for the radio, I like it because of the two alarm setting and also being able to listen to my own music from the phone. It's a very nice unit.

I needed a dock for charging my phone at night. I needed it to be able to be used in the dark so I wouldn't wake my wife. The way the dock mates with the phone requires you to be able to see connector which is not fixed. I had to give up either the Otterbox or the dock. I still have the Otterbox.

Yes it worked with the ipad with an otter case. Problem is it's a bit fragile, but it did have tough service for our use. Taking credit cards at auto repair shop. With gentle use it should be fine.

Not sure about Otterbox, but it will not work with LifeProof case... iPhone needs to be out of the case to sit in dock.

I have the otterbox commuter case and use this dock. It works well. My only complaint is that if you plan on using the headphone jack while docked you have to bend the flap back. As far as fitting it fits great with the otterbox, I have had an Incipio case on the phone and it is really loose while in the dock.

Yes I'm pretty sure you can. The docking at the bottom is the same on all IPads.

From what I have seen on Otterbox site, Flote should be able to hold ipad with cover as it has an expandable holder. But if I were you I would remove the cover. I use an M Edge cover that I remove while I use the stand. When I do not use Flote, I fix cover back.

Yes, with the usual caveat: if you have a case, you will almost certainly need to remove it to dock the iPhone. I bought a cheap Minisuit case, and modified it slightly with scissors to permit it to dock.

I have an Otter Box and I must take it off prior to docking. Hope this helps.....Joe

I just got one of these docks myself, and found that Galaxy Note 3 in an Otterbox Commuter series case (their thinnest case) will not connect to the dock. Since the charging port cover on the case doesn't close properly anyway, and blocks docking, I cut that flap off, then filed out the charging opening in the outer shell slightly to accommodate the base of the USB3 connector, and the phone STILL will not dock with the case installed. It won't dock *reliably* even with just the silicone liner of the case in place. I just talked to Otterbox and they have no suggestions. The annoying thing is that it looks as though it WOULD work, if only the spring-loaded base of the dock had about another 2mm-3mm of travel. (Samsung, are you listening? ...Probably not.) It's extremely annoying having to choose between "Case that will protect my phone" and "Case that will still let me dock my phone". Can anyone perhaps offer any tips for cases known to fit and work for this dock? Perhaps we can at least take the guesswork out of which cases will work with the dock and which won't. I'll start: OtterBox cases WILL NOT work with this dock.
