I love the concept of the magnetic connection, however I have a case on my phone. Do I need to remove it from the case to use this, and/or what do I do when I get a new case or phone? TIA ---

As long as your iPhone case has MagSafe, this will work fine. I have a competing product and that’s what I do. I would never use my iPhone without a case because I drop it too much. ---

Thank you! Looks like its time for a new case! ---

That said, the contact mics don’t work if you have a case on. But it is cool to have it attached through MagSafe. ---

Bummer on that, I thought they would work. Hopefully they app functionality is expanded to include native call recording so we can use it with airpods… and a phone case. ---

ctash - Don’t assume that the contact mics won’t work. I just did a test playing a podcast on my Pixel 7 with a MagSafe case on it, and my Pocket did a great job of summarizing it. Then I also took a cursory look at the transcript, and aside from misspelling the name of one of the hosts, the Pocket did an excellent job. ---

Were you recording with the contact mic (switch up on device) and audio playing thru the headset speaker or did you have the podcast on the main speakers (speaker phone)? ---

The podcast was playing over the speaker, but I was using the contact mic. ---

Ok, so that’s not the same thing as trying to record a voice call with contact mic and a case on. My guess is it won’t work given the lower volume and vibrations in that setup. ---

Just tested a call on an iPhone 16 Pro with a Speck brand hard case utilizing the contact mics with the phone using the internal handset speaker. It worked ok.
