Do they make a cable that you can use to plug this into your galaxy s4 phone? the pins are to short when using an otter box, making me have to take the phone out of its case each time i use it.

With android cables, one size fits all. Otter box, while an excellent cover, is oversized for the phone. It's best to find something slimmer so the plug on the cable will work.

Good luck finding one that fits , I bought 4 cables before I finally found this one that fits my samsung s425g the part on this one that goes into the phone is thin and flat a little wider than the others I had bought. Some had a kind of square end & were smaller, too thick. Next time I ever need a cable I will bring the phone to a store with me, no more of this ordering the wrong item crap. They say that they will fit my phone then they don't. One was suppose to be made for my phone model # and it did not fit. This one does fit a samsung s425g but they are not all the same at all. Go to staples, walmart, bestbuy, take the phone with you.

Does it transfer data? Yes, it's just an adapter (no special circuitry inside). Any Galaxy Note II with Otter Box Defender cases to report if it fits in the port? I don't own either one so I don't know. Biggest issue I have with this adapter (or any of the same type) is it has to be on a stable environment, otherwise it loses connection when moved (like when your driving in your car, etc.).

We have a new dock that works for thicker cases like the otterbox. If there is an hesitation take a look at this dock. RND Dock for Samsung Galaxy S3 and/or S4 with Dock mode cable and 2.1A Charger (compatible without or with a case) (black)

The charging cable that I use on my phone is the same one that is used on the charging case. That said the cable will not fit in the case. However, once the case is charged, it lasts a long time. The powers that be a while ago decided that most phones must use the same style connector, and so does this case. As long as your phone uses the same type of connector, you should always have a charger on hand. Hope this helps

Best thing you could ever do is make sure you have original Samsung Galaxy s3Mini battery. The ACTUAL battery-not "compatable", not " replacement for", etc., no imitations! Four pin connector BEST. I'm having trouble with my S4 battery, because of "compatable" battery charger designed for s3. Use original parts always!

I have a Platinum Case, from Best Buy, and it DOES wirelessly charge through it! It only works in about ONE "Chi Spot"! Which I found to be in the lower half of the S5. It does not charge fast, and it sometimes gets HOT! If it gets Too Hot, it wont charge at all. My case has a kick stand on the back, which actually helps in keeping the phone from getting hot, cause it lifts it off the pad, just a little. Overall, its worth getting, if you want to preserve your charging port cover.

It's made more for an apple product with its ability to dock your iphone. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and use the cable provided and it works good that way. I know an iphone 4s works good too. My wife has an i5; I'll try it out tonight and see.

Hello there should be no problem but I heard it should work but double check plz. but as far as charging its really fast I am charging my Samsung S4 on the smart usb. I dont think it should be a problem for your case.

I just got one of these docks myself, and found that Galaxy Note 3 in an Otterbox Commuter series case (their thinnest case) will not connect to the dock. Since the charging port cover on the case doesn't close properly anyway, and blocks docking, I cut that flap off, then filed out the charging opening in the outer shell slightly to accommodate the base of the USB3 connector, and the phone STILL will not dock with the case installed. It won't dock *reliably* even with just the silicone liner of the case in place. I just talked to Otterbox and they have no suggestions. The annoying thing is that it looks as though it WOULD work, if only the spring-loaded base of the dock had about another 2mm-3mm of travel. (Samsung, are you listening? ...Probably not.) It's extremely annoying having to choose between "Case that will protect my phone" and "Case that will still let me dock my phone". Can anyone perhaps offer any tips for cases known to fit and work for this dock? Perhaps we can at least take the guesswork out of which cases will work with the dock and which won't. I'll start: OtterBox cases WILL NOT work with this dock.

Actually glad you asked since I neglected to post about tthis. If your cable has bulky shielding near the connector it will in fact, prevent you from connecting to the note 3. I Only encountered this issue witha very old cable I had laying around. My car charger I got a while back, and several others I've encountered work perfectly fine though so it's not common to finda Cable that won't work, even then, this case isn't tough to get off like Otterbox cases can be.

Not sure about the otter box but it does not connect with the life proof case. They give you an audio jack cable to connect it with so you don't have to use the charging port so I imagine you would be able to use that at least with the otter box

I'm using the Caliber CaseMate for my Galaxy S5 and the plastic is too big, blocking the plug from being fully inserted. I'd recommend browsing for a cable in a physical store where you can compare the width before you buy, like I now have to do.

I purchased the cables for my galaxy s3. The cables fit into the hole at the top of the phone without any problem. However, the connection is not as snug if depending upon which type of phone cover you are using. My phone has a regular cover and it was fine. My husband has a different heavy duty cover and at first we didnt think it "fit" his phone. He had to remove his cover in order to use this product.

So far I've had to take off my otter box case. The reason being: it's a small clip that connects it to your phone and I wouldn't want to over extend it because it could snap. It's not great at holding it in place but of you have a small case and can fit it over that, I could see that helping. Hope I helped.
