Rugged Case: Anyone know if this unit will fit in a rugged case like an Otterbox or somthing of that nature?

It will not fit in a case. I have to remove my iPod from the Otterbox to use the GPS cradle. Unfortunately, the Otterbox is not easy to open.

I have a speck case and I'm able to squeeze it in. To my knowledge otter boxes are a bit thicker so it may be a tighter squeeze.

I have an Otterbox which it fits into just fine. I don't know how similar it is to a Lifeproof case though.

Since I returned mine, I have not found anything similar. If I could find the same thing but of a good quality I would buy it in a heart beat. As of right now though I do not have a case and am still looking for a better option.

I am using it with several Ballistic Cases. The thinner cases work, but the thicker cases (Tough Jacket series) do not. I think the Defender is probably equivalent to the latter and will be a problem, though I can't be sure.

no mine fits tightly and has saved me plenty of times. I drop my phone and if it is my gym bag a lot. I should be more careful, but otter has protected my phone and I will buy another when the tabs break off from removing the it to use the phone.

I have a Trident case, which seems to be about the thickness of an Otterbox commuter. It just fits my Samsung S5. I would think that a normal Otterbox would be a stretch to fit.

No. The otter box is too big. I use a tech21 impact case. Also used the Spec case.

I would say that a shell style case would work. My wife had the otterbox commuter and I was able to fit that. But if I was docking it for myself, daily, I'd modify the case by taking the charger port flap off. I don't use a case on my phone. To use the outbox there is a piece that removes from the dock to allow more space. It isn't obvious in the PCs that it does that.Sort answer: some cases would fit. Big ones like the defender I doubt would.

Didn't have an Otterbox case, different brand. Otter would probably work. BUT I sent this back. Crummy design in my opinion... j

It'll be tough. I'd recommend taking it out of the Otter Box before putting it in the holder.

The otterbox case will not fit. Any thin case may fit but we do not have a list that we can provide you. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with. RND

That is tough to answer since I don't own an otterbox, but I would say that if it does, it's going to be really tight. I put my phone in with no case and it is snug.

The cases that I tried didn't fit it. I tried an Otterbox and several other regular cases, and nothing fit it!!

Nope. The structure on the back of the case that sorta looks like one is actually a flip-out stand. While stiffer than I'd like, the stand is quite sturdy once clicked into place, and holds the phone at a nice angle either vertically or horizontally. I've found that, while it's a bit bulkier than an otterbox, it will generally fit into belt pouches made for phones with otterboxes on them.

In my case, I need to put the phone without cover to fit in. I'm not using an otter box but the one I have (Ballistic brand) its bulky enough to don't fit with cover.

Yes, it just fits excellently! It is beautiful and very practical. I love Otterbox Defender cases on my electrical devices. They are very good value for money and have high quality!
