Can you plug the transmitter into an iPhone 5 with an Otterbox Defender case?

Yes you should. If not, you can buy those phone jack extenders that are very useful with phones with cases on them. My phone case came with an extender thing that reaches to my phone jack on my phone. You can get them for dirt cheap.

I don't have an otter box on my phone, but when I tried plugging it in to my boyfriends phone case that is sort of like an otter box, it couldn't be plugged in. The transmitter gets in the way..another downside!

It will not work with an IPhone 6 defender case but it did work with my IPhone 5 defender case even though it was a tight fit. I wish I would have just spend the extra $ and bought a standard apple cable

Works and fits iPhone 5 with Otter Box Defender case . It is a very good unit for iPhone 5

It should. As long as it is a standard Iphone 5 power cord there is a standard port in the bottom of the otterbox cover.

Yes, this pouch for the iphone 5 with an Otterbox defender case works very well. The other cases we tried were too small or didn't have the option being worn on a belt.

Yes, i have used it with the following iPhone 5 cases: Mophie Air, Mophie Helium, Life Proof, Griffen bumper, and tons more. I think it the max is going to be a Otterbox defender.

won't fit an iphone 5 otterbox armor case but will fit in the commuter series case. the body of the plug is too wide...

It does for mine, but that has been issue for me with pass transmitters that I got use to. So unfortunately you will have to remove your phone case/cover before you can use it...at least that is for an iPhone 5.

No. They will be able to both charge at the same time and play music from iTunes playlists; however, you'll have to remove the otterbox casing because it gets in the way of the connecting ports.

I doubt it, I have to remove my 4S from the skinit case for the plug to go in deep enough to connect. I don't know how hard it is to remove an iphone from an otterbox, but I really love these speakers so it would be worth it to me.

I had a similar issue with the Otterbox Defender. This actually allows the jack to get through the Otterbox case into my iPhone 5. I've been using this same piece with my Bose in ear headphones since my iPhone 3gs and it works great. One finally wore out after about 2 years of use and am on my 2nd one (for the iPhone 5). I kept yanking it out by the little black cord and after 2 years, I yanked too hard :^) It's a sturdy quality piece as most of Griffen's products are!!

Yes, but you will have to use your own USB cable. The iPhone 5 adapter does not come in this.

The charging won't because the iphone 5 uses a different size charger input thingy, but the transmitter will just plug in the cord where your headphones go on your cell an you're good to go. But actually if u want to charger ur phone this device has two extra USB ports on the side and you can just plug in your own USB cable that came with your iphone 5 and plug it in. I found this very weird! But I tried it with my own USB charger and it worked just as well.

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.

This transmitter does not charge any device but does have a USB charging port for using the iPhone 5 charger cord to charge the iPhone 5.

It definitely works with a Defender case (I've got one on my iPhone 5), and it has worked with all of my powered accessories, so I can just about guarantee it will work with your reader. As noted in another review, you should connect the card reader to the extension cable before plugging in to your device.It's one of the only extension cables I've found that I'd trust to work with any accessory.

The transceiver works with virtually any case. When installed correctly, the back deflects or bulges only minutely, if at all - fare less than a millimeter. It did not interfere with my 2 part rigid carbon fiber case, 2 part Case Logic case nor an Otterbox Defender. The same is true of the charger itself; none of the cases interfered with charging.
