Can you add an additional cover over the case ? Will it still charge with a case over it to protect the phone?

The charging cover adds bulk and depth to the phone once it is on. Perhaps a gel based case might be able to squeeze around it, but definitely nothing that is meant to seamlessly wrap around the phone to protect it. I'm also willing to bet that adding a layer of rubber or plastic between the charging cover and a charging plate will prevent the phone from charging. The charging cover does a decent enough of a job of protecting the phone, but it's true most of the sides and the face are left exposed. Pairing this cover with a screen protector should be enough insurance for most people.

I guess you could add another cover but I have not done it; lack of a clear answer, I know.

The charging cover and the charging base seem to be engineered to pretty precise specs. The charging cover is thin and permits charging to full charge in the same time as a direct wire charge. If I were going to consider a cover, "Otter" grade, I would have to give up on transduced charging. I enjoy the convenience of charging during the day without the hassle direct wiring. Forget the cover and enjoy the charging system of the future or go for the cover and forget the advanced charging system that Nokia has created. The 1020 discharges faster that the iPhone 5 that I had. So always being charged up is a priority for me. When at my desk, my 1020 sets on the charge plate. No wires to fiddle with to charge my phone during the day. I never know when I will be away from a charging system, so being charged up is important to me. When I retire for the night, my phone is generally 100% charged up. The feeling of a charged up phone is important to me.

Dear Customer&#65292; You have to remove the phone case when you charge. Nice day! July Duhud Customer Care

No problem charging it while the case is on. I feel like its really protected. The rubber case part goes all the way around the phone like a normal case would, and the extra covering just protects it even more.

There is a cut out in the bottom of the case that allows you to insert the charging cable into the phone. so yes it will allow you to charge the phone with the case on it

The phone will charge with the case attached, however with the wireless cover backplate the phone no longer fits properly in the case. I had ordered the case and was absolutely in love with it, however due to the slightly thicker back plate I can't use this case any more.

I have not found a protective cover that will fit after adding the extended battery. So you are choosing between protecting the phone and longer battery life. I wanted longer battery life.

Actually the backplate is a skin type case in of itself. Because of its size they made a backplate/skin case to accomodate the battery. So its already a case. Kind of hard to explain but to answer your question there is no other case you can buy to fit over it except the one they include. Now I can tell you having used this battery for 5 months or so that it makes the phone bulky and heavy but it also triples your battery easily. I usually go 2-3 days between charges but even with super heavy use it should have no problem lasting a day. Hope this helps!

It doesn't seem to be a problem however I have only had the case for a few months and I still have the cover over the charging port that is attached to the phone

If your current case/cover is rigid or a tight fit, you may need to replace it. I had a flexible rubber case that fits the thicker phone nicely. My wife uses a more rigid gel case and it took some effort to make it fit. No need to remove the case when placed on the charger.

It's worth the money for the charging, but it does not cover the screen . The phone slides into the case. The sides are covered.

Not this one, cause I bought one for dad, and every time I his phone charging, the case self opens, also, the magnet is weak, which will make the phone wake every time the cover float, there's another one, http://amzn.com/B00J7HG14G . NO EXTRA ACCESSORY REQUIRED!

No, the flip cover makes the phone to thick to fit the charger. I haven't used this for anything other than charging an extended battery so I can't answer the second question.

Not really. It does provide some protection. It is more of an additional battery pack than a protective case. It should take a glass protector since it wraps around non-glass area of the phone.

Yes u can charge your phone while it is still in the case. I haven't taken the case off since I got it

Not really, the case does add a bit of depth, but a fingernail will still get in there with the case on. The opening of the case's charge port is big enough to get either a fingernail, (or if you don't have that) a credit card to open the phones charge port cover. I have had no trouble with it.

It will still be open just a tad to charge it. When the cover closes completely, it blocks the charging port.

This doesn't add very much bulk to the phone at all. It causes the back to bulge out ever so slightly (assuming you are using stock battery), but I doubt it would prevent your case from fitting. Whether it will charge through your case is a different matter, however. My wife has a thin "TPU" (soft plastic) case on her phone, and it works. But an otterbox with its thicker plastic may prevent it from working.
