Does anyone dock with a case? What cases work, and don't?

I did not find any case that aloud me to use docking station at the same time. I would just remove the case when I would dock the phone.

The dock will work with the otter commuter and definitely not with a defender. I had to shave the corners off of the dock at the plug in and in doing so voided any warranty. If you and not handy with a file or Dermal the answer is no. You would have to remove the case every time.

Hi - No dock. A chip is embedded in the case. The chip works with my Powermat (and other such devices). The Powermat is NOT included.

Yes it works very well. However you can't have a case on it at all. I have several slim cases and none of them work with the charging dock.

Personally, the dock I have did not fit into my phone with the case on. It could also depend on your dock but because it's kind of like a bumper case it'll be thicker at the bottom so you'll probably have to take it apart to place it in.

Not too sure. The case is kind bulky at the bottom. I don't own a dock so I can't be much help. Good luck though.

I have used a case with it but it is a thin case. I have no idea if the case you are interested in will work. I made sure the case I used said it was a thin case before I bought it. Also what I didn't know is there is a piece inside the dock that has to be removed if you have a case on your phone.

I have a diztrinic tpu case, a cruzer lite tpu case, and a cheapo gel case and none of them allow me to dock my galaxy note, galaxy s2 or htc sensation with cases on....

Great idea! This is my only grip about the dock, thus far. The Otterbox Defender and Commuter are definitely not compatible.

No. With the case on it's too large for the dock. To be fair I don't know of any case that would let you do that as the iPod docks were made to fit case-less iPods.

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.

I did not purchase the dock, but after looking at it in store...I would say no. as the case adds more thickness and weight.I would look into it a little more if you plan on purchasing the dock. Hope this helps.

No, I have not seen any cases either. Maybe you should email Lifestraw and request that they make cases or better yet partner up with the company and invent one. A case is a great idea because I worry about breaking it while being stored. Think I will go to Michaels and get creative. Or the pcv idea might be even better. Thanx!

No. I have to take my case off of it whenever I dock it. It's still perfect though for my desk.

No. I have www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EPLTC1I & I have to take the case off to fit it in this dock.

I am not familiar with the Incipio cases. The case I have is a Ventev case that wraps around the back and it works great with the dock. Sorry I can't be more help.

I have this speaker and a 6 plus with a fairly low profile case. It will not dock. Without the case it does fit, but it's not easy.

Really depends on the case. On most you can but there's a few I've used that don't let it dock.
