I was hoping that this desktop charger would have had enough space too allow charging without having to remove me case which is not a thick case. Unfortunately, it looks like the manufacturer wants you remove the phone each time you need a charge increasing the odds of a possible accidental damage from dropping it.
The charge cable could be longer instead of just about a foot.

Hi, VoiceJock,
Temporarily removing the case is recommended for best results. However, if the case is fully exposing the bottom part of the phone, then you should be able to easily dock your Smartphone.
