Hi Rob, the problematic charger which does not work with the Otterbox survivor worked wonderfully with the defender, the problem is the width and thickness of the plastic moulded at the end of the charger where the cable connects to the phone itself, in my opinion it is a design flaw in the survivor case, especially considering that this same cable works fine with the defender. I would not play mix and match with chargers,, however; I'm not gonna pay double for a charger for my iPhone because it is from Apple, consider this, the Apple branded one has less shielding than the one I got from the source which does not work with my latest otterbox case, the charger would work okay if the case was removed however I'm not doing that as doing so repeatedly would drastically decrease the life of the case itself. Thoughts Rob orr anyone else, Ed.

Not a case to peel off regularly either. Sticking to original leads at least, seems to be the right thing. Different charger is achievable so long as the lead is right,... and the charger a good one. We fried a new iPad Mini with a bad one.

I have an iPhone 4S which I've had for just over 2 years. I am working with my second Otterbox case. The first was a defendor and the current case is a survivor. I have two usb chargers for my iPhone, one is here at home, it's the original Apple-brand charger which came with the phone, charger 2 is not an Apple-brand charger, I don't remember the Brand, I bought it at The Source, formally Radio Shack. Anyway, my issue, the survivor case I now have only works with the genouine Apple charger I have here at home, the survivor will not work with the other cable, the plastic moulding on the outside of the cable makes it too wide and too thick to fit into the opening in the survivor, and I'm sure these Otterbox cases aren't designed to be fully removed on a regular basis. Thoughts anyone. Please feel free to reply on the list or write to me directly. Thanks all in advance, Ed. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Wayne Merritt Sent: Saturday, October 11, 2014 4:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Otterbox case problem I have an OtterBox Defender on my iPhone 6 and have had no issues with the case. A few times early on there might have been some gestures not recognized, but I've had the phone and case for 2 weeks and have gotten used to things. It is harder putting in the lightning chord, hopefully that will get easier over time. At the time I got the case in the AT&T store, they said that the case I was getting was the only one they had for the iPhone 6 in my area. For the first few days, the volume and power buttons were very hard to press, but I've gotten used to those as well.
