can the phone with the case on be charged using the lightning cable or do you have to use the microUSB.

You have to use the USB they give you, it'll charge the iPhone first & then the backup battery. But, I just charge them both ts night while in sleeping since this lasts the whole day

This is the major problem I have with this new case. You know all those chargers you bought for the car, the home, the office, before buying this case? They won't connect through the case. So if you're on a long trip without access to a computer, you have to disassemble the case to connect your Apple charger, which is a major hassle. Would not have bought this had I known.

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.

It will fit the iphone correctly, but if you want to connect it to charge your iphone and your case does not have a mini-usb connector, you will need to buy an adaptor (apple offers it) and with the mini usb to lightning it will work 100%, it will fit, charge and connect to the device via bluetooth

Yes the micro USB plugs into the case. You can't charge the phone with apple cable while phone in the case. Have to use the supplies "new cable" to charge case and phone together.

You cannot charge the phone and case at the same time, from my experience it charges your case first then it charges your phone

If you mean the lightning cable on the bottom of the phone, yes you can still use that as long as you put the phone in horizontally. I don't think the clip expands enough to fit an iphone vertically so the lightning connector will never be covered.

yes, you can charge it while the case is on. However, if you have an ihome or any speakers that the phone plugs into the case does need to come off.

You can't charge both at the same time so the best way is to have your phone inside the case and charge it while it is there. Then, once it's fully charged then the case will be charged automatically.

When the phone slides into the case, a built-in lightning connector attaches the phone to the case. The battery in the case then acts as an additional battery for the phone. A button on the rear of the case controls whether the case is "charging" or not. Then, to charge the case, you can use the USB cable provided with the case. Hope this answers your question.

The Case has to be charged separately. However, I only use it when I travel. I have had it for a year and still have not charged the case. I love it!

It depends on the case. If you are able to charge it inside of the case/with the case on using the standard apple charger ...yes you can charge it with the case on. It all depends on the space/opening size allowed for the charger. I have upgraded my iphone and ipad I had to buy an adapter... I can keep them inside of their lifeproof cases and charge them.

I bought an adapter for the new lightning plug and it works great. Yes it does charge the phone and a thin case should be fine. Mine is a couple of years old. They may have updated the plug by now and you won't need the adapter. Adapter is $20.

I charge the phone WITH the LifeProof case on!! Never had a problem doing it this way.

You charge the case with the cable it comes with. you charge the phone before putting it into case. then when you put phone in case, you can turn the on/off switch on and it will charge ur iphone. led lights on back of case tells you how much battery life the case has left before you have to charge case. this case is a battery booster and it does the trick as long as you follow the instructions and take care of the product.

You need to use the lightning to USB cable come with the iPhone 5 to charge. This product did not have the cable for iPhone 5.

Sen, I'm confused. Are you saying you can use a USB connection to charge the iPhone 4S with uNu case on but not to the iPhone 4S itself, is that it?

There is a cut out in the bottom of the case that allows you to insert the charging cable into the phone. so yes it will allow you to charge the phone with the case on it

The only way to charge or use the charging port is with the original iPhone cord. Any other secondary cords or ports won't work. Same thing goes with the headphone jack. The case doesn't allow the room required for these secondary items. You will have to take the phone out of its case to use your ihome
