remove iPhone from case when charging?

Ok, this may be a dumb question, but I would rather post a dumb question than really mess up. Once I read somewhere to take my iPod out of its case when I charge it, I guess it keeps it from getting too hot or something. My question is, should I take the iPhone out of its case (Marware leather flip vue) when I charge it, either at home or in the car?
Many thanks in advance.

The iPhone does not get particularly warm when charging, so it shouldn't normally be necessary to remove it from the case. If you're in an already-warm environment (e.g. a hot car) it's probably not a bad idea, though. High heat is bad for fully-charged batteries.

Hope this helps...

Thank you both very much. I have my answer. I live in a very warm part of the country. I will be taking my iPhone out of it's case for charging, at least if I am in the car.
Many thanks again.

Belated but, I keep my iPhone in a case I purchased. I purchased a hip case as a combo usage, but it doesn't catch fire or melt.
