Can I charge my iphone 4S while in the case?

No, you can't... the case itself is useless...I had to return it and get my money back...

No that is not possible. Only the headphone port is accessible thru the case.

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.

The iphone 5s and the 4s are two different phones so I can not answer that. But if it's closed you would not be able to charge it.

I have to plug my 4s into the speaker upside down useing the earphone port... So while it's plugged in like that I can charge it with the other end. That's the only way to plug your phone up to it by the way.

It can be charged in the case, there is a small opening at the bottom where you can open it and charge.

Yes it does charge the 4s. Just be aware that when the phone is charging no sound comes out of the phone.

Yes of course. The case is charging the phone exactly the same as it was plugged to standard wall charger and you can use it at the same time. There is a small switch on the case which controls charging operation (on/off).

Yes, charging with the case on is no problem. The cover can be opened & closed for usewhile charging without removing the cord as well.

Yes, you can charge the battery case without the phone in it using the supplied charging cable.

No you do not, but for a faster charge on the go, if your phone and this case are both dead or nearly dead, I recommend separating the phone and case and charging them separately then assembling them back together when you leave the house. This is most effective because when you plug the case in with the phone attached, the phone gets charged first followed by the case once the phone is at 100%. This requires double the charging time, unless separated.

My friend, if your home charger and car charger have a USB output port, you can definitely use the included charging cable to charge the case any where. But Apple's 30 pin port won't work with the case

Yes, the charging outlet is not covered and is easily accessible. You could even take the strap off and make it a regular case if you wanted to.

You can charge it with any charger whit it's hooked to your phone but the case doesn't charge your phone.

I have an iphone 4s and it completely charges in about 2 hours. However, you can use the phone while it is charging.

Yes. It will first charge the iphone then automatically charge the case when it's done with the phone.

I have an iPhone 4S and an iPad 3. Both can be charged at the same time quite effectively by using the "A" port for the iPad and the "NA" port for the phone as described in other comments here.

The case charges the phone while the phone is inside. If the cases is dead the u have to take it out to charge woth your regular cord.
