The ElevationDocks for iPhone4 and iPhone5 work with the vast majority of iPhone cases. The rubber support behind the phone can be flipped around or removed altogether for larger cases. Otterbox Defender and LifeProof cases do not work unless you remove the bottom cord flap.

90% of our manufacturing is within a 10 mile radius of Portland, Oregon. That includes all raw aluminum extrusion, machining, anodizing, lasering, packaging, and final assembly.
