Is there a problem with chargers or needing a seperate attachment for the headphones like in the Lifeproof case?

Yesss! This is an issue, only apple headphones or headphones with the same diameter jack as apple headphones will fit through the opening in the case.

With the otter box no needed attachments but for life proof they give a part they screw in the case and you plug your headphones in that and charging no attachments on both cases

no, the iPhone 5 charger and headphone each fit, but you must lift a flap on the case bottom to expose each opening, and this sacrifices the water- and dust-proof seal. So you can charge and/or use wired headphones, but you lose some of the case protections. I use bluetooth headphones (the Jaybird Bluebuds work great for me) so I can keep the seal intact and still use headphones. HTH.

It does not need a separate attachment like the Lifeproof case. I have the Lifeproof and love it except for that feature, also because I can't find my headphone attachment and either need to buy another one or switch cases. I bought my aunt the Otterbox and sometimes wish I bought that instead. It is bulkier than the Lifeproof though.

at the bottom of the case it has a green flap that open for the charger and the headset I know it works fine for the charger but I haven't tried the headset jack.

I charge the phone WITH the LifeProof case on!! Never had a problem doing it this way.

Nope, they're all uncovered and easy to access! In fact some cases make the openings small, so even the headphone jack can't fit in fully with a certain jack that grows larger around the middle. With this case there's PLENTY of open space around the ports, so there should be no trouble in connecting any jacks even if they can be larger around the base.

Same place you plug the headphone jack is where you plug the charger. One end of the cable should be a USB connector.

The charger input is covered but not the speakers. Where you plug in headphones is also covered.

Nope haven't had any major issues! Great case. Sometimes my adapter for my sound bar doesn't fit into the headphone jack with the case on, but this hasn't been a huge issue.

You can't charge or use headphones while in the case. It's worth it though. It's the only way I was able to shop or eat in peace for about 6 months of my sons life. :)

Built in kick stand works well. I have no problem plugging in chargers. Some headphones and 1/8" Audio plugs do have issues.

If you have this case, I sent it back because it was cheaply made. As far as lifeproof goes, I have had several for iphones and ipad minis and the charger works like a charm. If it is an aftermarket charger, that may be a problem, because they are thicker than the apple charger. I hope this helps. Have a blessed day!

Yeah they are. The headphone jack is somewhat more difficult to access than I would expect, but nothing bad, and overall it protects it from getting crud in it.

I haven't had any issues with it so far and I keep and use a headset plugged in there on a daily basis. My friend also has this same case and hasn't had an issue either. If I remember right, the last case had the ground in an area that caused interference. I'm not sure if this is in the same place or not.

I know what he is talking about - an auxiliary cable with an 1/8th inch plug is quite large compared to a standard headphone plug - most cases do not design around this and the hole cut into the case is not large enough to allow the plug to go in all the way.

You should've rec'd a charge cord with your headset....if not order the charge case. I love mine!

Not really. The carrying case is also the charger and it has a short charging cord. It might be possible if you use only one of the earbuds while it's charging.

That's a good question because I've had that with other cases too. Not this one. The input is cut out large enough to easily connect headphones. I use the Apple iPhones and there is a little space all around the connection once it is plugged in. I really think this is a terrific case.

i have that verizon phone. dont know about headphones as i don't use those. but i can plug the charger into mine. and i also use a wireless charger and it works thru the case!

Yes, there are flaps that open and close for the charger and the headphones connection. But if you open the flap, it is no longer waterproof. The water will leak through
