Can you use other phone chargers or earphones other than the Samsung type provided with the phone? I purchased a different case which prevented me from using a different charger. Thanks!

Hi, yes you can! I am able to use the regular charger that came with the phone, my car charger and another charger similar to the one that came with my phone without any problems. Also, on the top of the case there is another tab that covers the headphone jack up but of course is able to be flipped open (like the charging port). I never used the headphones that came with my phone but use a pair of skullcandy with a mic built in.

The Otter Box has available ports that match the phone. I use an aftermarket charger and Bose headphones. .. no problem.

Here's the thing....when I ordered mine, it came with all of the adapters shown which DOES include an adapter to charge a Samsung phone. I have seen a couple people who have purchased these after I bought mine and they've said that they do not come with all of the shown adapters. So unfortunately I can't tell you 'Yes' or 'No' for sure. Maybe message the seller if you can?

Never had a problem with any of my micro usb or usb to go cord. I never use headphones but the Samsung earbuds that came with phone work fine.

Dear friend,Thansk for your inquiry.It will be able to just plug it into the earphone jack. However, the USB charger cannot be compatible.This item is really compatible with Samsung Galaxy S 4/3, Samsung Galaxy Note 3/2, Nexus 5/4, HTC One, Blackberry Z10, SONY smart phone, MP3, MP4.Thanks a lot.

I tried it with my samsung charge phone and it works only as a great headphones and to pause the song that is playing but can't use it to answer phone calls, use the forward/rewind play button or increase/decrease the volume. Klipsch just came out that works with an android phone.

Unless you have a different phone adapter than all the other Samsung phones, then NO. The cord that comes with the charger isnt very long. It had a usb plug on one end to connect to the charger, and a standard samsung/android phone plug on the end. Turn on the charger with a quick push of its power button. Hold it down for a second or two to turn the charger off.

No the Samsung charger fits fine. I did have a auxiliary cord that was to wide for the earphones opening.

Headphone and charger slots work fine for me. I use the charger that came with the phone. If the headphone plug is bigger than the norm, it could be an issue.

Yes you can!, This is the only minor con for some people. ALL Earphones will fit, but not most HEADPhones, for example my Sennheiser DJ headphones jack will not fit because of the deep indentation of the case. Also, most microUSB ends will not fit unless it is slim and does not have a large enclosure. I hope you all understand what i mean, basically if you have anything similar to the Apple earphones/earbuds, like Klipsch ,Skullcandy and Sony, IT WILL FIT, but if you headphones have a large enclosure, it will NOT fit. Same goes for the microUSB charger cables.

You will need to purchase an after market USB converter that would plug in your samsung galaxy and connect to the charger. I can give you the name of the product next time.

The phone does not have to be removed from the case for charging. Keep in mind, the hole in the case for the earphones might not be properly centered. So, you might have to get a new set of earphones if the plug in for your current pair is too big (Note: the pair that comes with the iPhone 5 have the best sized jack that I have found). You do want to take your phone out of the case every 2 to three weeks to clean the dust out of the case and off of the phone. I hope that all of this helps.I love these wood cases. They are super CLASSY!

While charging, you can talk on the phone but I do not have bluetooth nor use my music from the phone. But the actual charger is great. Sorry I couldn't be more help. :(

You can try and others charger also use the description "Travel Charger for Samsung Galaxy S3/S4/Note 2 and Other Smartphones". Also you can look for others by searching and will find other options that strictly tell you are for S3/S4. The only issue could be more time needed to charge but it will do anyway.

The cord that comes with the unit has a USB plug at one end and what I believe is a Micro plug at the other (This "Micro" end is compatible with Samsung devices and probably many more). As long as you have a charging plug (comes with most devices these days) that the USB end of your device's charging cord plugs into, you should not need to buy any additional cords. If your device is not a Samsung, you should be able to use any device cord with this unit as long as the free end has a USB plug.

Troy Archer, A third-party device may work, but Samsung doesn't have a headphone adapter for this model. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S
