Hi, Would I be able to use already owned cases with this bumper case on my phone or is it too thick?

The fit and feel is great. The only down side is it is metal sounding your phone. That sounds great until you realize metal will reduce the signal strength of your phone. If you are in a one bar area it becomes a no bar area. So you will reduce the talk and data geographical area you can use your phone.

Do you mean a protective case? If so, no. This goes over the phone only. It does cover the bumper and the back of the phone, so your phone will be protected. unlike other hard cases this case is secured by 2 small screws, so if you were to drop it, it won't go flying apart. On the inside of the case there are strips of i guess insulation to make the fitting nice and snug. hope that helps. or take a look at this one. helped with the reception. http://amzn.com/B00DS1CT9S

Absolutely! The bumper cover fits over the back and side of the phone, but the front screen is exposed. If you're looking for complete protection, I would recommend getting the screen protector as well.

Hmmm, from what I have seen of OB cases they are already pretty bulky. I would advice against choosing this dock if your aim is to leave the case on while charging your phone. My case is relatively thin and I have issues with aligning the charging port with the pin in the base, so I can only deduce that this would be even more difficult with a thicker case. Plus, the pin in the docking base can only tilt so far forward away from the back the the phone rests again; again making alignment difficult if you have an extended battery pack. I hope that makes sense and is of some help to you.

It's about 1 inch thick with the case. I like the Spigen case that I have it's durable, I have dropped my phone a couple of times with no problems or cracks, the bumper is stylish and it protects against the accidents.

Their should be a need for a back protector. Since this is a full case and not just a bumper. If u feel the need to use one go ahead no problem fitting.

No your case will not still work. your phone will be about a centimeter thicker with the new battery pack

the bumper is not easily added, by itself; it is very snug. and, the hard case fits very snugly around the bumper...it will require some trial and error. I completely put the bumper first, then closely watched the sides so that it fit within the case.

I would like to know the answer to this question as well. I don't use a bumper, but I do use a case so I would also like to know if I should use the alternate cradle.

The battery is about twice as thick, so the phone is a bit thicker. My case wouldn't fit over it; I doubt any case made to fit snugly over the regular phone will fit one with this battery.

This is a great case, but NO it will not work well with your phone other than the case that comes with the phone. I have a smaller case that is no where as near the thickness of the Otterbox and though I can get it into the case, it may take me 2-3 minutes it "wiggle" it out of the case. When two of my friends saw me trying to use it they said "Give it up. Your phone is too big for the case!!". So I have put five thick magic markers in it trying to stretch it. It's been several month and just a little "give"...maybe a few more months, lol! Save your money!

Yes, it's a bumper, it doesn't cover the back. I've even used TPU cases with a qi and it managed to transfer. As long as it's not too thick like an otterbox or aluminum the qi should work.

Never even thought of this, however after removing the black rubber (which fits between the phone and the bumper) the phone falls right through the bumper, although if you wanted to cut the back off with an exacto it would probably work perfectly.

The bumper is really flimsy part! Its a two part case. First goes the rubber part that wraps around like a normal case then u put on the bumper. There is a place where the bumper fits in and the only part close to screen will be the lip from the rubber case. Once the bumper is on the case it looks awesome and helps pressing the buttons. I think there is also reviews on youtube.

Hi. I'm just another customer, but I have the case. The way it's made, you couldn't keep the bumper on by itself. The soft bumper goes on, then the outer ring, which is hard plastic, goes over it and secures it. It looks really good, but you do still have to be a bit careful because you can knock it off more easily than a full case.

From my experience the otterbox defender case is too "thick", you will need to take it off in order to use this.

It fits fine with bumper style cases, or at least my slightly flexible one. I haven't tried it with fully enclosed cases.

Absolutely not! It doesn't even fit with a slim bumper cover. I returned it for that very reason. They're description is very misleading on the website. I'm still searching for the right fit. Have yet to find one.
