Does the built in connector work with an otterbox defender case?

Yes. I bought this for my Armor series case and it didn't work at first. My girlfriend has a Defender case and it fits perfectly without any trouble. I modified mine slightly to get it to work with my armor series as well. Not so much of a "Mod" as it is removing a piece of excess plastic. See Customer images for how to do it if interested, but you should have NO PROBLEM using this with a Defender case AS IS.

Yes it works. It is a VERY tight fit if you use an otterbox case though. The plastic is rather bulky and seems like it might break the otterbox case sometimes.

It worked with my otterbox defender so I wouod think so..I just removed my protector in the actual case.

Yes. We use it with the "Defender" and "Cummutrr" series cases and they work perfectly.

Well, I have a Samsung galaxy note 1 with an otterbox case, which is thick, and I've had no problems with the connector whatsoever. So unless the phone case you got is absurdly thick, I think you'll be fine.

NO it will not. I have the otterbox commuter series case. the phone with case barely fits the VicTsing holder with the "adapter" removed. You have to do some gentle forcing. and, it will not mate with the USB Power connector. I am returning the VicTsing for a refund.

The lightning connector does NOT fit the Otterbox Armor case for iphone5. The Otterbox Armor power opening is 6.5mm x 9mm. This cable is 5mm x 11mm - too wide.

I have an iPhone 4 with an otter box defender case, probbaly one of the biggest cases out there and it fits fine, the adapter is essentially like the regular charging cable.

I haven't tried it, but the holster fits my seidio active case pretty snug. It is shaped to fit exactly. I doubt it will fit the otterbox case.

Sorry, I don't own an Otterbox case. I can tell you I've been very happy with the cable, and just zip-tied the length I don't use. My phone charges up pretty quickly with this cable.

I can't say for sure but it works fine with my Galaxy S5 with the otterbox defender case so l'm guessing YES. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure, but it works fine with our IPhone 5 phones which are in Otterbox Defender cases.

From my experience, it doesn't work with the Defender case. At least it doesn't work with mine; even if you remove the insert.

Connections are fairly substantial. I'm unsure if it will fit with beefier cases. I use it on an iPhone 4s and an ipad 3. I don't have cases for either bit I am not sure. They perform flawlessly for my needs. I checked it on a life proof case and it seemed too big for that case without forcing it. Unsure about otter.

I have never seen one, so not sure if it is. But what I know of the Otterbox, if there is an opening for your plug-in it might work. I am not an expert or anything close to it, hopefully another reader might be better schooled to give you the correct information. Good Luck. :)

Yes it fits - no obvious bulge and works with Otterbox Defender cases and pure gear cases

I have used mine with the Defender case and my wife has used hers with some really thick cases, the only thing that happens is the position of the phone on the charger becomes a little more stringent.
