No, I don't recommend to use it in that way even if a battery supports the function. It's unsafe..

The case comes with a micro-charger, which charges both the case & the iPhone simultaneously. It works for me because I used the same micro charger for my old blackberry & still use the same micro charger for my cameras. I've not taken the iPhone out of the case to use the lightning charger and lightning charger won't charge the case.

With the charging case, you are able to turn the charge on or off. So if both the phone and case are charged, with the case "off", your iPhone battery will be used first.

Absolutely. The case can be charged alone, using the IPhone 5c cable, or together with the IPhone. Fully charged, the case can provide almost 100% additional talk time to your IPhone.

Yes Amy. I charge both my iPhone 5 and iPad Mini at the same time. You provide your own charging cables and the insert from the bottom.

It is possible to charge it with the lower half of the case attached. You just need to be careful while opening the little flap to the side. It can totally be done.

I have not tried that, I just charge the iPhone thru the case. The top is made of plastic, so I didn't want to break it every time when I take the iPhone out.

Yes, I powered both my ultrabook and my iphone 4 at the same time while charging. The charger was able to maintain the battery at 100% with those two devices plugged in.

Not when the pocket port is completely dead but once it has at least 1 bar of power then yes you can charge both at the same time.

No. But it is best practice to only charge a phone when it has lees than 20% battery. Yes you can use the device and charge at the same time.

No! That's the beauty of this case. You can charge it and the phone at the same time. I do this overnight and when my phone battery gets low, I just push the little button on the back of the battery case and it's good to go for many hours more.

It does charge both the phone and case while they ate connected. Turn off the case and the phone will charge first then the case will charge once phone is at 100%. I do it every night.

No they don't charge at he same time. The phone charges first and then the case.

Yes, it can charge the phone at the same time. Use the turn on the "location" button, and the "car mode" button and use it hands free!

I just take my phone off of it and charge the case and phone separately. The instructions aren't really clear, but I think there is a way to charge both the case and the phone at once. You'll know the case is charged if it lights up when you turn it on. Make sure your phone is fully pressed into the case. Then press the power button in the lower right hand corner of the case. I hope that helps.
