Can I use an s2 w/Otter defender case with this? Also I'm cycling. What's the best mount for me? Thanks

I have an s4 and it has a width of 2.76 inches the s2 has a width of 2.60 inches, i can tell you that the s4 fits in it with a case with room to spare, so the s2 with otter box should be fine. It's a terrific mount, i use it on my boat, kayak and bike.

I believe it will not fit for your case. I'm not giving you my own opinion. I went to iBolt website and found this "The iBOLT Dock is designed to be compatible with most cases up to 2.5 mm thick, including Otterbox Commuter type but it does NOT work with the Otterbox Defender or Ballistic (unfortunately). " http://www.ibolt.co/ibpf-33307

Yes it will hold the s3 with the otterbox defender series case but it barely fits and the load bearing part of it goes out after a couple of months. The end where the phone mounts becomes too easy to turn and will not stay in place I had to throw mine away after about a month and a half. So for me it wasn't a very good investment.

This is recommendation to cover the possibility that a thick case will prevent your phone from charging. I've tested this charger with the Ringke Fusion and Distronic TPU cases and have had no problems. I would imagine a thinner Otterbox like the Commuter would have no issues, but someone else with a thicker one like the Defender would have to chip in here.

Actually for the Otterbox Defender case the best fit unit would be the RAM-B-166-TAB8U not this one. If you have any other questions, please let us know. Thank you Custom Mounts

I am using an otterbox symmetry case on it now, and have had no problems with the commuter line either. Pretty sure the defender will work just fine, but I haven't that one myself.

I would agree with the other posters. I had one case that didn't fit, and just found one that does, but neither is as substantial as the Otterbox cases. The one that fits is the STM Skinny case. With or without a case, this charger requires a bit of finesse to use, but it's so handy for multiple devices that I don't mind the minor hassle.

I have the Verizon G2 with a Beyond Cell Tri Shield case and it's VERY tight. The Ballistic case dimensions are shown as being slightly thicker than those ones. So unless someone can say they've tried your exact case to this exact mount with any success it'd be pretty iffy as I don't really have a side by side comparison of the cases. Just so you have some numbers to go by, my case has a 3 1/8" width and a 3/4" thickness and the mount grips just barely gets around it before it pulls apart (and yes it's easy to put back together). Hope that helps.

I would have to say no. OtterBox are very specific to the phone size/type. This is for an Atrix HD, not Atrix 2. I have not seen a Defender series for the 2 (doesn't mean it's not out there), only the commuter series. The HD has a very different shape, size and camera placement than the 2.

I use it with my Galaxy S5 mounted in the Otterbox Defender case. Charging is solid and consistent as long as I ensure the back of the phone is seated against the charging mount. I then have no problems charging, even on bumpy dirt roads. If the case were any thicker, though, I can see that charging might be intermittent.I have a Choe aftermarket receiver mounted in the S5, and it's possible that different receivers may give different results. I am VERY happy with this.

No, it will not accommodate any case. It is a protective hard case that mounts on the bike. When finished riding you just slide it out and out your otter box back on.

Hey Michael, I bought this mount and I love it. I have a really slim case and I leave it one, but there should be enough room for your ballistic case too. You should be okay. If not, just take it out of the case. I really love the thing though, I'm really impressed with it. Hope this helps!

I purchased the Square Jellyfish smartphone spring tripod mount for my Nokia Lumia 1020 and it held the phone very securely without a protective case. I later purchased the Otterbox Defender case and though I could still mount the phone in the tripod mount it barely fit and easily slipped around. Needless too say even though the Square Jellyfish mount is a good mount I no longer use it. Hope this helps.

I've just bought an otterbox and discovered this as well. Wish I'd seen these reviews before purchasing. It's a great case but it's for outdoors only.

I have an Otter Box Defender case for my Galaxy Note 2 that I have to take off every time I use the waterproof case. Even then it is a snug fit. You probably can't have any other case on the phone and fit inside.

This is designed for S4 and we have had other customers that use in conjunction with otterbox case without any issues. Hope this helps.
