Does the case itself charge your phone, or does it just hold an extra battery?

No, the case is just that a case/cover protector .. You have to buy the Hyperion extended battery for S4 separately. The larger size battery in being charge through your phone, the case/protector is optional for 9.99, while the extended battery is 30.00 .

It is merely a case to protect the phone after to add the extended battery. Regular cases will not fit after adding the extended battery.

This case is just a protective rubber case. I am very happy with it. I have dropped my phone out of my hands half a dozen times and on a scratch on the screen or case. The EXPERIAN extended battery is awesome. It's like a 15 hour straight of music, videos and 4 email syncing.

Neither, it has a bigger area so that you can have an extended battery. The 5200mah extended battery is twice as thick as a normal battery, so the normal back cover wont cover.

Yes, you can charge it. You only remove the case if you want to change the battery or SD card

It gives me like an extra 1.5 times extra charge. I let the phone drain all the way or most of the way, turn in the charger, it goes all the way to 100% and then I can do that again to about half way. It's pretty awesome. I have dropped it and it was fine. I'm pretty satisfied. I've had it about 2 months and use it heavily every day.

The case you see in the photo comes with it. It's nothing special but the battery is larger than the original.

Your phone holds a charge depending on condition of your battery, size, and life expectancy. It has nothing to do with the charger itself.

I think the thing is the extended part of the battery which holds the extra battery cells.

It is not a charging case. It is a very protective case, but it will not charge your battery. I'm not sure if that's what you're asking, but that's what I'm understanding.

Is does the phone charge when you have the extra battery attached to it? I have a problem where if I only had the case attached I had to position it onto the base properly in order to get it to charge. And sometimes I had to wiggle the little copper piece and set it back on the base in order to get it to charge. I found that when I would wiggle the copper piece and pull it towards the front phone charge better. But it ultimately became pretty frustrating.

Yes it does, I use my all the time and they are really nice to have an extra battery. The only think is if you have a case on your phone, it is kind of pain to keep taking it off and trying to put back on.

Charge only. This case is awesome though. I bought 2 extra batteries and a charger and rarely plug it in. I just swap batteries instead of being tethered to a charging cord. Great case.

It charges mine to 100%. I plug the case/phone into charge overnight everynight.

It uses a mini USB plug in the side of the bottom of the case. You can leave the phone in the case while charging and it will charge both.

Yes, you charge the case and the phone and when the phone battery dies you push the button on the case and it will fully charge the phone with the built in case battery.

The case has a different charger. But if the case is on you phone then you charge the case it automatically charges the phone as well.

The extended case is cheap and flimsy, but I never had any problems with it. It does the job just fine. I did have to adjust the opening for the power button slightly with an x acto knife... Yes it fully charges.

The case charges the phone and if you have the cover on and plug the adapter in, you can also charge the phone while you're charging the battery pack. The only thing that stinks alittle is that when you have the battery cover on it, your calls have an echo in the background. Also my battery came damaged and the company never replaced it. Hope your luck is better than mine. Good luck : )

Once both are charged, it runs off the phones battery power. When your phone gets low, you turn on the battery case and it will charge your phone back to 100 %. Then the battery case turns itself off. I can charge my phone when it's gets down to 2 % and use the case 2 full times before I have to charge the case again.
