I just got the case today. How long does it have to be charged before use?

All night long boo. No really it pretty much takes a whole night to fully charge

Honestly the case would complete charge the phone if the light blinks on 75 or 50 if you fully charge the case then it would let u charge the phone twice.

It was fully charged as soon as I turned mine on. I don't know how long it takes to fully recharge after the battery has been depleted

I believe you were supposed to charge it for several hours when you first got it. I can't locate the paper that came with mine right this minute but I'm pretty sure that's what it said. In any case, it sounds like its no good and you need to return it.

Hi. It should double your phone's battery life. If your phone gets depleted after 8-12 hours of use then it is safe to assume that your total estimated battery life with the case is 16-24 hours. You can turn off the case when not in use. Just press and hold the power switch to turn the battery power on and off, and press it once to see the battery's status.

it comes with a very small charge. You need to charge first before you can use it correctly.

Both the case and the IPad are charging at the same time. I hope this helps. Thanks

I can't answer that - I have had mine and been using it for about 3 weeks - and I still haven't had to charge it...

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.

I haven't actually timed it but I guess it takes between 2 to 3 hours. It depends on if you are using it while charging.

The initial charging time is 24 hours. Let it charge for 24 hours before you use it.

I charged mine for about 4 hours before I used it. The battery loses juice as it sits. So only charge it before you use it.

My battery had a minimal charge when I RECEIVED it.I believe we are expected to fully charge it before using.

I've had the case since probably the middle of May and have not had to charge the battery once yet. And mine did come with the charger, I just haven't had to use it yet.

It takes about two hours to fully charge your phone. I haven't had the case that long to determine it's life expectancy.

Remember to treat it as though u are openining a new phone u must charge the battery first for six or eight hrs.

A couple hours. I would look at other less bulky options though. There is newer better designs out. The charging port became inoperable after a few uses.

I didn't charge mine before use. Upon receiving my battery it had about 60% charge. To fully charge the battery takes approximately 2 hrs.
