Unfortunately, the magnet is not strong enough to hold the phone in a charge position while the “otterbox” case (w/Drop+) is on. So U will need to remove the case in order to charge the phone. Definitely an inconvenience.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Iphone doesnt attach to base via the bases magnet. I slides off, had to remove the Iphone case which is a thin clear plastic. It still has to be placed with care for it to not slip down and off. Build quality is great and what I would expect from Otterbox. Temped to return for the cost and try another manufacture to see if there is one with a stronger magnet for the phone.

Hello Mike! With this charging stand, we do recommend using cases that are Made for MagSafe to ensure full compatibility with your device! If you are having issues, please reach out to our CS Team by phone or via chat, and we are happy to help with this!
This combination charging station is terrific! The consolidation of three different charging devices into one clears up a lot of clutter into one rapid charging station.
Fast charge! Everything charging in same location. Very convenient! Magnetic phone hold works fantastic. Great having phone displayed at upright position for easy viewing!
This is the perfect charger for my bedside table. It would also be great for work. It is compact but mighty, able to charge my phone, watch, and AirPods all at the same time.
