External backup battery doesn't work with OtterBox case

[iaddict]

I purchased several of these chargers for myself and two of my relatives iPhones. They won't work with the OtterBox case that we have on our phones. Is there an adaptor that will allow it to connect and charge the iPhone? Here's the link http://www.dhgate.com/1000mah-external-backup-battery-for-iphone/p-ff808081229b40c901229bb90f977fa7.html

That's one big drawback of this case is it's hard to plug items into it. I even had to modify a car charger to work.

There is no adaptor that I know of and if there were it would put quite a bit of stress on the phone connector.

Try that adapter, it should work.

I just got that adapter and it works OK. It's better than nothing, although it will add some height to the device.

the Otterbox is basically a turtle shell if you are looking to protect your case. that is what this bad boy does. The down side is most battery chargers docks or accessory's won't work with the otterbox unless it's out of the case. or a adapter is used. However if you tend to drop your case allot or like to hike etc. this is the case to have.
