Anyone have problems plugging it into smartphone with case? Connector looks bulky.

I use a Spigen Neo Hybrid case which has a very narrow opening for the plug. I bought these http://www.aliexpress.com/item/1-2m-OFC-Handmade-Cable-For-Shure-upgrade-SE535-SE425-UE900-earphone-Shockproof/1399211209.html and they're great and fit without any trouble at all.

Indeed, the out of the box plug does not play well with most cases. The added layer between the device and the headphones created by the case makes the plug not get seep enough to secure grip and gets loose easily as a result. I suggest you buy the cables with the remote. They offered great controls for your iPhone (not so much for android phones) but the plug is way better designed and till this date I have yet to find a case it does not fit on. It's about $50, but it really is the only way around the problem.

It is, I had to base my choice of case on the connector. Or you can drill in more space.

It is a problem. But it is easily solved. I shaved just a tiny fraction of the bulky sheath. It was easy to do and didn't damage anything. It fits fine after that. I do consider that one drawback to this device.

I don't have any issues plugging mine in, however, the piece between the charging port and the screen was very thin and has broken off. Case is still usable but it should have lasted longer.

I tested it through a somewhat thick piece of plastic (baseball card holder), and it still charged. However, the entire back panel is more bulky than the normal, so I am not able to use my previous case on the phone. Shouldn't be an issue with the more lenient protective cases

It's a pretty loose fit. I find mine will only stay in if the USB cable is plugged in, snug and secure.Overall not a great investment.

I use an otter defender case and I have no issues at all using this connector. Fits tightly and easy to connect.

Sorry, I meant to say not if you have an Otterbox. Otherwise yes, you can push the leather a little to get the connector in.

I had the same issue with my life proof iPhone 5 case. I had to buy a adapter that allowed me to connect. Now it's $50I would recommend another cable but this cable has lasted me weeks and months with out going out! Like the other small cables. This cable is very durable! But bulky.

I sent it back. I have the same phone. My phone never fit on it properly and I later noticed it pushed the USB port in some on my phone.

Agree with Turf's comment. Plus, it's very tightly wound! In my experience, the "unstretched" cable isn't long enough for my needs. There is always some tension on the cable if I hold the phone on my lap.

Yes it's unfortunately a known issue. I modified mine by clipping the thin piece of black plastic just above the power button completely away. Removing this piece of plastic does not seem to affect the integrity or function of the case as mine works great now.

My Bose® MIE2i Mobile Headset jack fits very snug into the case. It takes a good shove, but its in and connect fine.

I believe it is the way the stand is designed. The weight of the phone pushing on the plug is probably causing an open circuit in one of the wires. I wound up gluing a big fender washer to the stand to support the phone-my problem was solved. For the money paid I will use this unit until it longer works, then buy a better docking unit. I have a docking stand made by Sinjimoru, fantastic unit. Well worth the extra money.

I have had no trouble. Just make sure everything on phone is snapped well..the charge cover is the only thing I stress over it feels loose...case however seems to root water off.

Do you have a case for the S4 that might be limiting the 3.5mm plug to seated properly? If so, you might need to change the plug to a thinner type or remove the case.

The housing of the micro usb is to big that it prevents a good connection to the phone with a case. Hope this helps.

I cannot connect the cable while the case is on my phone. it's the only downside to the case.
