Does this one hinder the speaker socket when using Credit Card Readers like the Otterbox does, or can you use CC readers with this case on the phone?

It doesnt allow it to seat properly. Because it's a gel material you may be able to bore out the hole a bit to accept the CC insert.

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.

Hi Lynmar1! The phone is meant to be used while still in the plastic holder in the case. You simply fold the flap with the credit card pockets back and hold the phone up to your ear. If you have not used a wallet case before, it may take some getting used to, though these have been popular sellers and the majority of customers have been extremely pleased :) If there's anything else, just let me know. I can be contacted directly via this link:

Charging port works with all my chargers no problem.both speakers are open so it doesnt affect sound at all. Buttons work great also. And I can now reach the sides of the touchscreen where as I couldn't with an otterbox case.

I did originally have the Otterbox...which I loved, but, did have the same problems with phone calls. The mesh covering that is over the earpiece/voice was causing interference. This was tested by removing the phone from the case and test calling (at my phone carriers' brick and mortar location). I am currently in the process of purchasing a different model Otterbox for my phone. We currently have three other devices WITH Otterbox cases, and they are, by far, the best I have ever used!

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.

Hi Dana. The OtterBox is a big case in itself. It will not fit into this wallet. This case is a very slim profile that fits only the naked iphone 5/5s. You can dock it in this case on certain docks. The bottom from head jack to speaker is open. It docks onto an iHome and the iPig speaker. It won't be as protective as an otterbox case, but does a pretty good job. It's one of my cheapest cases, and one of my favorites too.

I'm not sure. If reader plugs in at bott of phone, it probably will as case has cut out allowing access to ports.

I've had no issues. I love this case. the cut outs are perfect for all plugs. Headphones and charger both. I use it all the time for watching movies. I don't know why the other person said you need a 90° jack. You definitely do not unless you're trying to use it in portrait. Then the port is on bottom. I don't know why you would do that anyway.

I plug the adapter into my iPhone's headphone jack then plug my square card reader into the adapter. The square register app senses the card reader and I am able to process credit cards without having to remove my Otter Box phone case.

I never noticed a difference in charging strength with the case on or off. I only charged the phone however with plastic bumper cases and never a wallet case. I used this with a nexus five and it worked fine every time.

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

Yes this item works well. I use otterbox defender & the paypal card reader. Just plug the reader into the extention before you plug the extention into the phone.

I haven't had a problem with either flap. After I'm done using either USB or earphone jack, the flaps always tuck right back into place.I don't recommend cutting them off, but some people have a problem with them.I say just try it out and if you don't mind them, keep them on. Otherwise you can return the case or cut them off.

I d nott think you would be able to plug in a credit card reader without taking it off. That being said i think its the easiest case i have had to take off and putt back on since all you have to do is unlatch 2 pieces.

I have used mine on a Galaxy Note 2 in an Otterbox Commuter case. The ear jack would not let my Intuit GoPayment reader insert far enough. This extension works great for me. You are looking at the proper type of extension. Has to be 4 pole to work, this is exactly that and has decent penetration.

Hello Christine and thank you for your interest in our product, unfortunately this specific item does not have access to the headphone jack while enclosed, so it is not compatible with a credit card reader.Please feel free to contact me for further assistance.Thanks againAndrea
