I have an iFrogz case and it works fine with it. There are 2 adaptors that comes with the dock also. I did not use an adaptor with the iFrogz case. It is a bit flimsy without the adaptor, but works and charges fine. I highly recommend this item!

Well, it's good if you have a regular phone charger, it comes with one but it's a short cord. And ignore the bad reviews because I haven't had a problem with it yet. But the only negative is that it does take a while to charge the case after the phone is done charging. I would recommend getting a back up iPhone charger though. Hope that helps :)

What do you mean? You just plug in the case like you would your phone. The phone and case need to charge separately. I thought I could leave the car on the phone and charge both but that doesn't work.

You can charge the phone with the case on it but it will not charge the case at the same time. You have to charge the case without the phone in order for the case to charge the phone when it's not plugged in.

The only way to charge or use the charging port is with the original iPhone cord. Any other secondary cords or ports won't work. Same thing goes with the headphone jack. The case doesn't allow the room required for these secondary items. You will have to take the phone out of its case to use your ihome

RfGuy - the iphone syncs and charges without removing the case. No need for different cables. Every once in a while I will take the case off to clean the phone and I will use the apple cable but there is nothing to update or sync. It's charged and synced without the iphone cable.

Your Iphone will definitely work on this device, but I'm not sure if you can connect it with the case on. I use mine without the case since it's an Otterbox case. Either way this device is definitely a steal for what it's priced at.

Yep it's just a standard mini usb. It makes your iPhone more universal it's nice. You keep the case on and charge them together. It actually ends to making your iPhone chargers pointless. But mini USB works with all sorts of stuff. If your phone is dead, when you charge it prioritized your phone, them charges the case. When your phone gets close to running out of juice, hold the button for three seconds and it will start to charge.

Technically, yes. Although I find it better to charge my IPhone and the case separately. (My experience is that it charges both at a very slow rate.) so I just separate the case which is very smooth and easy and charge them separately.

Yes. You simply plug into the headphone port. I think this product works great. Sound too. However, the stand is basically so your iphone has somewhere to rest, doesn't connect to iphone for charging or anything. And remote only works to power on/off and adjust volume settings of speaker, not iphone. Do wish it could operate iphone, like for skipping songs and what not, but wasn't a deal breaker for me.

To clarify for my experience:1.) I did not get any wall charger. 2.) And you cannot use your iphone cable when the iphone and case are together. There is only one port - a microusb port. 3.) As far as I can tell, the charger charges first before the iphone gets to recharge itself. Which is rather annoying.

Hi Lauren!!I have a protective case on my iPhone, and this works very well!!

The case won't charge the battery until you press the charging button for 3 seconds. Its possible that your iphone battery can die if you don't depress the button. As a rule of thumb, I always allow my batteries to "run down" before charging. This is the only way to exercise your battery to get the most life out. This has been proven in my household as the kids always charge the battery when they get home regardless of the battery level. Mine certainly holds out longer. Hope this helps.

Scott is wrong you can charge this with a wall charger as long as the wall charger puts out enough amps, i.e. my iPad charger allows me to charge it but the smaller iPhone does not. hope this helps. I know you posted this a while ago and you probably already know the answer.

It does not work in the holder but they give u a cable to connect it to that alows you to use it off the dock in a case but it won't charge your phone when connected on the cable. It does charge when on the dock with out your case off your phone

I find that I get a warning when I plug in the case when using a non-apple lightening cable, but it charges anyway. Of course, I get the warning when I use the cable with the iPhone by itself, so I can't say if the case itself also triggers a warning. I'll try to remember to test with an official Apple cable and report back.

Since you use your own charging cord in the device, the answer would be yes. I have an iPhone and I had to thread my iPhone charging cord, and my iPad charging cord through the device and then you plug your phone and tablet directly into the charger cord. The device is actually a "holder" for the phone and tablet....in itself the device is not a charger. When I bought it I thought I was buying a charger and that was not the case. However, it is a convenient device for holding my phone and iPad upright as opposed to laying the on the counter to charge. Hope this answers your question.
