does it charge it thru a case or does the case have to be removed?

It will charge through a case but it does make it harder to find the "sweet spot" where it will charge properly. probably worth the extra $ for one a bit nicer.

It charges my Sony Experia z3 through the Otterbox. I do not have to remove it.

no you have to remove the case, agree with gary about the rapid charge and extra battery.

If your talking about the case it self yes it charges without the phone in it. You can charge both phone and case by them self they each come with their own chargers. Hope this helps!�

No, you cannot charge the camera without taking it from the case completely.

No you do not have to remove case. You can also keep case on when you want to charge phone. Fits perfectly and its not too bulky.

It gets charged through a mini-USB. I find that it works best when I used the higher current charger that came with my tablet.

You will charge the case with the USB cable provided with the phone in or out.

You have to use the cord provided. However, if you leave your phone in the case, it will charge both your phone and the battery case.

You can charge it with the case on. I charge it every night with the case still on. There is an open space on the bottom.

No! You can charge it without removing the bottom part. I haven't removed it ever since I bought it, no need to

No..you do not have to remove the case to charge the phone. The case is extremely hard to get off once you put it on. It does slip nicely into the holster though...even though mine broke on the first day. The case is awesome though!

Actually you just unclip the top of the case (it fastens with a popper) and plug right in to the wall. what you can't do is take out the battery (or sim card) which is removed from the bottom of the camera - the case has to be taken off for that but it only takes seconds to undo & re-do the bottom section of the case in any event

It uses the USB charger. You can charge your phone and the case at the same time.

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.

Yes, the case has a pre-cut hole so you can charge without having to remove iPad from case.

It will charge throught the cover and if you put a protective case on your phone it will charge through it also. Qi charging is the only way to go as you have to flip the waterproof charging cover open every time you charge the s5
