If my phone is always in a case such as a Lifeproof or Otterbox, will the amplification work as well? Do I need to remove the case?

You absolutely need to remove the case. The internal "antenna" for your phone is on the backside and it needs to be as close as possible to the Wilson Sleek, as possible.

my Galaxy Note has a fold-over case and I put it in there with the case pulled behind and it works fine

I don't think so I have my phone in a mophie. It always seems to get good service, even in remote areas.

I use it out of the case. It should work in a non metal case. I cannot see why a leather or plastic case would cause a problem, Depending on the thickness of the case, you may have problems putting the in in the cradle.

I sent it back. It didn't even work without a case for me. Very difficult to get reception where I'm at.

yes it works with the otterbox case. I do not know about the life proof case.

The sound is not as good as without a case. If you are in an area with noise around it is hard to hear somebody sometimes. I guess you could say yes it sounds like they are in a tunnel. They also say that I sound a little muffled. I think all the waterproof cases are like that I know people that have the lifeproof and it sounds the same way. Overall I am happy I went with the case I have dropped the phone twice on concrete and has not stopped working yet have not had it total wet yet except for in the testing when I first got it and it worked good then

No it's about just the same I think you get better sound out of the lifeproof case. Honestly I don't even used it anymore because it's very hard to hear when your on the other side of the phone.

Yes, it is specially designed to work with virtually all cases including OtterBox cases, Lifeproof cases etc. It can be used with devices without removing case.

Hi there - I don't have the Lifeproof case, so perhaps someone else can respond to that specifically. However, i have another veryyy bulky case (called Lunatik) with a narrow space for a headphone jack, and this extender works perfectly. It is sufficiently long and narrow enough to fit. I suspect it will work just as well with the Lifeproof.

This is a great dock, but it only works with your case off. Even a slim silicon case will have to come off. The Otterbox will definitely have to come off each time. I liked the dock so much I finally just used the phone without a case at all. Good Luck!

You can use it with the Lifeproof adapter. Much easier than taking the case off each time you use.

Not sure about Otterbox, but it will not work with LifeProof case... iPhone needs to be out of the case to sit in dock.

I doubt it, I have to remove my 4S from the skinit case for the plug to go in deep enough to connect. I don't know how hard it is to remove an iphone from an otterbox, but I really love these speakers so it would be worth it to me.

It probably would not work. I have a similar case like the life proof. I could not fully plug in because the 3.5mm isn't that long. I had to take mine off to listen to music.

Yes it works but it will damage the life proof case every time you try to unfasten it from the otter box holster. I don't recommend (tried it with my life proof also).

Just saw below responses didn't know apple changed prong size. Why I no longer buy Apple always limiting to their products! My doesn't fit with the Otter Box on it. Far as rattling goes it is the bass just turn it down ! Aux cable your set ! Light weight so if I'm upstairs outside easy to relocate.

It is is made of hard plastic, usually cases have a cutout for the speaker, the Audioamp180 slips in on the pad in that cutout. Maybe it works the same on the Otterbox.

I am using it just for protection for my i pod. Whenever I have to hook it up to any of my mp3 devices (i.e. car computer) I have to remove the case and then plug the jack into my device. The only time the case does not hinder me from using it without and removal of hardware is when I link it via blue tooth, anything wireless. Hope I could help

I've not had anyone complaining to me about this. However, the otterbox doesn't cover the speakers and microphone like the lifeproof case does (there are holes for these features), so you would not be quite as protected as with the lifeproof case.

I don't specifically have an Otterbox case on my iPhone, but the device has a wide base against the connector that goes right up against the phone mic and speaker, so I would assume the case would block the transmitter from being plugged in properly.
