when plugged in, does the phone charge first or the battery case?

It appears to parse out power to both... But the phone takes some priority.

A mophie can charge them both at the same time and I heard it's bad to separate the two charging ports and charge separately

The phone will charge first. However, there are times when you wish to charge the case first instead of the phone when plugged in. If such scenario arises, you can simply just by press and hold the power button for 3 secs to change the priority.

That is the fastest way to charge both the phone and case. It will charge if you leave it in the case but it will charge slower that way

Plug the case with your phone attached and turn the case off, it will start carging your phone, when your phone is 100% automatically will turn the case on and start charging the case. And in the morning you have both charged. If you run out of battery during the day and want to charge your phone just turn off the case and it will start charging your phone.

NO, just plug the phone in like you would normally do and the phone and the case both charge up at the same time. Just like magic!

With the charging case, you are able to turn the charge on or off. So if both the phone and case are charged, with the case "off", your iPhone battery will be used first.

HI! when you are charging the phone with the case, you need to turn on the button in the case. The first thing to charge is the phone and then the case. sorry for my english

The case is pretty thick and holds inside of it a battery. You put the case on the phone. When your phone is almost dead, you press a button on the case, and your phone starts charging. When both your phones battery and the cases battery are dead, you can keep the case on the phone and simply plug the case in, which will charge both devices.This case is amazing

Yes once it's plugged into the charger it will always charge the phone first and then the case.

No it doesnt you would hook your phone up like you are going to charge it and then press the button on the case to turn it on. After that the case would begin charging, once its 100% full then it will beging charging the phone then having a full phone and battery phone case

It charges both the phone and the case at the same time, however if you are in a hurry and want a quick charge you will need to charge the phone separately.Hope this helps.

It gets charged using the IPhone charger. If u charge while the IPhone is in it, it will charge the IPhone first and once it's fully charged then the case will start to charge.

Yes. It is designed to first charge the phone if it is not fully charged, and then it will maintain the phone's charge while it charges its own battery.

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

Put the phonein the case immediately, turn the switch on the bottom of the case to on and plug it in. It charged phone and case. Adds so much to a charge you can go all day!! Just plug in anytime you need to charge, and it does both every time!!

No need to charge the battery first if you have it plugged in. There is a form without the battery, in fact.

In general yes. I find that occassionally it will charge the phone, but then leave the case looking like it is charging, but it really isn't, so I have a charged phone and a uncharged case in the morning. I would say it happens about 15-20% of the time for me. Still a great case, and I suspect the best of the bunch that are out there.

The case comes charged. When you want to charge your phone you put the case on and press the silver button and dots will light up when theres no more dots you put the case on charge with the regular iPhone charger.
