text: No luck with OtterBox Defender.
  
  I really wanted to like this, but i can’t get it to work with an OtterBox defender. When I place my phone on it, it charges for a few seconds but then it stops, waits a few seconds, tries again, and goes back off. The ledge it sits on is also a little small and doesn’t like to hold my phone on there. I haven’t had any luck horizontally either. The stand looks really nice on my nightstand though. The charger did work for me without a case, so I may buy a thinner case to be able to work with the charger.
