Should be fully functional u may have to put your phone in upside down?Can text thru the plastic screen like it's not even their. For $2 bucks the arm band is worth it. Although you might not need it? It's a great case for working out with.

I can confirm with 100% certainty that this WILL NOT work on a Samsung Galaxy SIII with the Otterbox Defender case. I had this dock with a smaller case, and it worked great. But I decided to upgrade my case to the Defender, and it no longer fits in the bottom cradle (even with insert removed) and the top spring arm will not close on it. Looking for a new mount as we speak. :(

This mount will work with the Samsung S4! The arm would extend as wide as 3 inches and would hold your phone tightly. I haven't tested the S4 with the Otterbox case, please measure your phone & case and if it is 3 inches wide - then you should be good to go!

Yes, it works fine. I have the Otterbox Defender case on my S5 and charge with no issues. The addition of the Otterbox Defender case does cause you to use a bit more care when placing the S5/Otterbox combo on the charging pad, but it's no big deal.

Yes it works with room to spare. I have the Galaxy Note 3 in the otterbox Defender case. It requires the full width of the mount arms, but holds snuggly and the charging port on the bottom is open to charge while in it. I've had it for almost a year and during that time it has worked well, multi positions my phone for optimal viewing, and remains firmly attached to the front of my dash, which is a smooth surface.

This is my first experience with this type of product. And I don't think it would work because the extended battery would not allow the phone to lay flat on the charger so it can receive the charge. Especially if you have a case over the phone. I had an i-blason case and I literally had to place the phone in an awkward position just to have it charge and sometimes, it looked like it was charging but it wasn't. Now with my Otterbox, it is not working at all. It is such a major convenience for me. And I am waiting for Samsung to release the wireless charging cover because I need my case to remain on.

I put it on my wife's GS4 & used the regular back; didn't notice any bulge at all. Put her Otterbox case back on just fine too. The charger works just fine through the thick case too.

Good Afternoon and thanks for your support and interest of our phone cases. We try to design all of our cases with compatibility in mind. However, with the wide range of design found in accessories for phones, we cannot guarantee compatibility with all accessories. In the case of many arm bands for the Galaxy S5, there will not be a problem. However, some arm bands might not accommodate the dimensions of the Galaxy S5 and the wallet case. The best bet would be to search for an arm band that caters to a variety of cases on the Galaxy S5. Keep this in mind when purchasing a cell phone arm band and we would be happy to hear which ones are compatible and which ones are not so we can help customers find the right fit!

I love this setup, but I doubt if it will work in combo with the Otterbox; that said it actually makes the Otterbox superfluous. and keeps the phone secure and handy at the same time. I am 76 and no longer worry about where my phone is. It's right there, around my neck, and/or in my shirt pocket. Hope this helps. John

Yes and No. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 in a Otterbox Defender Case. The jaws will spread wide enough but are not long enough to grab all the thickness of the phone+ case. While in your driveway it will work but the smallest bump in the road will knock it out.

I have a Samsung S3 in an Otterbox Defender case and it fits tight but still easy to remove. The case measures 5 5/8" x 3 1/8" x 5/8" thick. Your case may be too thick and maybe too long.

I don't have an Otterbox, but I believe you're referring to a type of phone cover, correct? I can say for sure that the phone must be taken out of any type of cover before being placed in the armband. It is designed to fit snugly around the bare phone.

Good question. I had never thought of this as this hasn't been an issue for me at all. I will check in the morning and let you know.Update: the buttons on the S4 are not hindered in anyway, no matter which end. The clamps grab the phone approximately in the center, so there is plenty of clearance around the buttons.

It may be a little snug (lengthen wise) at first but it will stretch with repeated use. So far it has worked for my Samsung Galaxy 3 with a Case logic protective case which are very close to your measurements. FYI the "bonus" antenna extender did nothing for my Samsung Galaxy 3 and since the "anti-radiation shield" did not comes with clear enough instructions, it was a waste for me.

Depending on which otterbox you get but I have a neoprene case around my S5 and it still fits loosely in the armband so you may be ok with an otterbox.
