I used mine for my lapdock...no problem at all...it may be slightly different than the receptacle in your device

ah yes....the 1st time I plugged the extensions in I was sure I had the wrong size.......but no! The micro ends have to go in straight as there is no wiggle room. I actually leave my "connectors" in my dock and plug my Bionic in as needed. Make sure you have the USB and HDMI correct orientation, or you'll be bending pins......:(

I purchased this set for a Motorola Android Bionic dock unit. I had to work with them a little to get them to plug into the phone and unit. Make sure your unit uses a micro usb & try to carefully plug them in again.

I have an S4 with otter box and I purchased an adapter to extend the cable length so it could fit into the charging port area with the case on. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LN3LQKQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AKXVBT49GGF3B worked like a charm

Not real sure about the otterbox but I have a case on my s3 and it does work. The micro usb has a knob on the side that allows you to extend it or retract it as much as you want. My best guess would be yes. Good luck!

Not sure about the Otterbox configuration. Be sure to specify the correct connector plug. I think the 4 uses the older design wider plug. If you are interested I have the old version and had to buy this new one with the correct plug. There is also plug conversion device available from Apple.

Sorry I am not familiar how Otter box is constructed or if the plug- in receptacle is exposed when otter box is on your phone. I have a Mophie juice pack and the long Apple plug- in is covered. Do not purchase a knock off chargers, as they do not charge later model phones or newer iPads. Good luck

Yes, it "works" because the micro-USB will plug into the S4 (I have one). However, it's not a great fit. The USB plug pivots so the S4 rocks back until it makes contact with the top of the back plate. The phone kind of bounces when you touch the screen. Side-to-side rocking also exists but isn't horrible. The S4 recognizes "dock mode" when it is plugged in. Aligning the S4 with the plug is not smooth since there is extra space behind the phone since this dock is designed for multiple devices.

I have found a nice tight fit with the connector. i use it on a Sandisk Clip+ mp3 player, Kindle Fire HDX and Motorola Atrix HD cell phone and have had no problems with the connector. I did have one problem which for me is no biggy. I cannot charge and play my Sandisk Clip+ at the same time. If I do I lose audio. So I just play or charge. Hope this helps. Good luck. Gerald

I believe the USB is used to power the device. I plug mine into the USB on the TV. The micro USB connects to the phone. It will NOT fit the Samsung Galaxy S2, but it does fit the Samsung Galaxy S4. I have tried plugging the USB into my charger, hoping to charge my phone at the same time. While the charging device shows it is charging, it does not because the battery level gradually goes down as I live stream things.

I have the S4 and it didn't recognize as a dock connection. It was very loose and I was afraid it was going to damage the charging port. Did love the style of the dock but no longer using it.

YES! I bought the otter box and the car dock at the same time. That's when I realized you cant use both at the same time. Now I just use the dock for long distance trips.

The Otter case I bought didn't work with this dock. I bought a different holster and just dock the phone now..

Hi! Sincerely, have no idea. Have 2 reasons: 1. By the time I bought this, Galaxy S5 didn't even existed. 2. I am not a Samsung user so I can't tell how their devices are... I mean I dunno if their ports/ plugs are big or really small like the iPhone 5S. Am really sorry not being that much of a help :-S

Hi Claudette, it is a micro USB outlet that goes into the phone (the small pointy thing at the top) while there is a raft of options like USB and so on at the bottom end. It really is a nice gadget but a note to the wise, if you have a hard case on your phone, you might have to take it off before you can get it to work for you! At least that was my experience... I hope this helps?

Actually glad you asked since I neglected to post about tthis. If your cable has bulky shielding near the connector it will in fact, prevent you from connecting to the note 3. I Only encountered this issue witha very old cable I had laying around. My car charger I got a while back, and several others I've encountered work perfectly fine though so it's not common to finda Cable that won't work, even then, this case isn't tough to get off like Otterbox cases can be.

My husband uses an Otterbox case and it charges just fine with it on. I use a hard slim case and it also works with no problems. We LOVE our charger and would never go back to plugging in our phones.

I'm using an Original samsung case on my note 4, it is pretty slim and wide but the usb wont attach to it. Being the otter box thiker i'm pretty sure it wont.

Probably...the plug in part is the same as for my iPhone and I had no problem when I had an otterbox on my last phone. Good thing about buying from Amazon is if you have a problem with anything you buy from them you can always return it...usually without having to give an explanation as to why.
