Do you have to remove the case to charge on a dock or with the charger that comes with the phone? I have the 5S.

Yes, the phone will not fit onto a dock with the case in place; but no, the case does not have to be removed to charge with the Apple-supplied charger.

Not to charge the phone, no. I don't dock my phone but my cord to play music in my car wouldn't fit with this case.

To charge with a dock the case must be removed. If you are using the charger you received with your I5s, there should be a port to allow you to charge in the case.

Hello,There is no need to remove your case. Although the MobiAria does not offer a lightening dock, you are able to connect your iPhone's audio by Bluetooth and charge your iPhone with the USB charging port.Sincerely,iLuv Support

No I tried doing that but I couldn't, you can only dock it with I phone 5 or 5s /5c and you have to remove the Case..

I have the iPhone 5 with the lightning adaptor and this thing works great. You just take off the bottom piece and you can plug your phone into the dock. Case is easy to put back together. I do it everyday! Hope this helps

None. You have to take off the case. Only fits a bare phone.... And it cant even fully charge your phone... not even once.... Do not buy!!!! Its $30. Juat buy an external mobile charger

No, it doesn't but whenever I need to charge it, is easy to take off the case. It came in some sizes so it should fit perfectly if you have a 7th generation iPod. (That's mines)

No need to remove the case for charging. Its perfectly working with the case. :)

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.

Yes you will have to take your case off each time to use the dock station as it has a back part to it that holds the phone upright. Still would be something to consider as it is a very neat little device, I love mine!!!

nope it is totally open to plug in the charger. I haven't found anything you need to remove it from the case for.

I think it depends on which case you have. The one I have does have an opening so the charging port is open and you can change without having to take the case off.

You will have to remove your case for this dock. The dock doesn't charge your phone though either since it is going through the USB port in your car. It is a nice set up for your phone on long trips but I have a different charger that I use when I need to charge.

you have to take the case off and then charge it. I had another case on and i had to take it off whenever I was charging it in my car.

I charge my iPhone 5 in this case all the time. It has never had any issues. I'm not sure if there is a battery issue between the 5 and the 5S, but I haven't had trouble. I haven't had a reason to take my phone out of the case in the 2 months I've owned it.

The port is open but it's extremely narrow. Only a very low profile USB charger cable will fit. I don't have a charging dock so I have no idea if it will work on a dock with the case on.

You do not need to remove the cover to charge the phone if you are using the Apple cable that came with the phone.

I have never had to remove the case to plug my charger in. I do have the iphone5, but I can't imagine having to remove it for the one either.
