I understand your problem as I don't think others that responded did, meaning your car charger is probably too wide to fit it. Well my car charger is too, So i just shaved off (Sharp knife,xacto,etc...) and sanded the sides of the car charger to make sure it fit in. Not a big deal 5-10 minutes at most.

The belkin micro charger works great and it comes with a USB cable designed for the iphone.

I also have the Belkin micro charger and love it! No more springy coil cords with this one. I can travel in my car and talk with ease while it is plugged in an charging. You can find it on Amazon or if needed in a hurry like I was Walmart. This is the BEST charger I have ever had!

The DLO Charger works fine as long as you are willing to file down the edges of the plug a bit. Also the new model is the prettiest charger out there IMO.

Yes you use a regular IPhone charger, this case seems to work very good the only thing is that the main button is hard to press and turn, some times it really bothers me as takes three four times to make it turn on....but other than that is a great case. Hope this helps you :)

I have an otter cover, as does my husband, and it works. You just have to open the flap. We both have IPhone 5's and it doesn't come with the correct charger cord. We just used the ones we had. Luckily two, one for each of us! It has about 5 other charger cords for older model IPhones.

I am having the same issue. It worked for a few days and now it seems as if it will not charge my phone at all, it shuts itself off? Anyone else find the problem or a fix to this? Thanks.

You are asking the wrong person. I bought the charger and did't work in my car.

1) The dock must be plugged in to a power source to work, and yes it charges my ipad 3 while connected.2) I have a Otterbox Defender Series case/cover on my iPad 3 and I never have to remove it. It fits and works perfectly.

The lip on the port cable on the car charger interferes with using the port if it is not flat against the cell phone. T-Mobile has a portable cell phone charger that works better and holds a charge up to a year. You may want to return this item and get the charger from a T-mobile store. I'm contemplating doing that as I have the charger and with my Otter cell phone cover and it is a pain taking off and putting on it back on the cell to use the car charger.

I do not know why it will not charge. I own 3 and they all charge. It may be deffective. Is it showing low charge? Is the outlet you are using a good one. Did you try the car charger?

Yes, I bought this charger and leave it in my car. I have not found anything that doesn't work on one of the ends. I also bought the charge part that fits in the cigarette lighter. I charge things on long car rides and I'm never without a phone.

I've only charged it with the house/wall charger and it works great! It does come with the car charger but I'm not sure what the amperage is. I find that anything I charge in the car takes forever. I recommend just checking the power level (button on the system) once in a while and charge it with the wall charger.

I tried something different.............. it worked. Remove the Otter Box protective cover before attaching the charger. It works!! I'm not too sure how long it will take a 65% charged IPhone to charge but it appears to be going strong. REMOVE the OTTER BOX.

I purchased the adapter that fits into the cigarette lighter in the car. Then the usb end of the 10 in 1 plugs into that. It has 10 different sizes to fit most of your "toys". You can charge your phone and Ipad at the same time or any other device you have with you. It only works while the car is running and you can only charge one item with the same end at a time, but if you have the use for different ends of the charger you can use each one separetly at the same time. I hope you understand what I am telling you. I love it for long car rides and my phone is always on even if I entered the car with a dead phone battery.

Is your the two piece with the USB Cord? If so you have to plug in the charger then the usb cord to the charger and then to the phone, everytime you restart the car same procedure. I have the one piece and it works great but the 2 piece sucks!

Im really not sure I haven't been able to get it to work at all yet. I was told by a friend that it would charge any phone as long as the phone has a chargeable case on it. According to the picture on the box it has a little square box with it to charge is what I am understanding but I have been told as well that was just a backup battery but I would not know for what. Im needing help and answers myself because I have bought chargeable cases for my I-phone 4 & 5, a chargeable case for my Samsung gs4 and galaxy note but now have 3 cases for the note that doesn't fit. Sorry I wished I could help you or if what I did tell you helped & if you have any suggestions for me I am all open to hear them lol Im really not sure I haven't been able to get it to work at all yet.

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.

I bought it for my 2003 Victory to charge my iPhone 5. It worked for about a month, but now I get the "charging is not supported with this accessory" message. I do not get that message using the same charging cable in my car or in my home, so it has to be this outlet. Perhaps because there is no voltage regulator? I don't know what the solution is, but my phone clearly doesn't like it. Any other iPhone 5 users having trouble with this outlet?
