No, you would need to have your own charger plugged into the phone if you wanted it to charge while on the stand.

no. If you plug it into your phone, all it will do is charge the phone using its built in battery.

It is rechargeable and depending on device you will be to charge 2 devices before having to recharge the battery. As far as using the phone while charging you should be able to, should be no different than having it plugged into a regular charger.

I think it does. Here's how I used it, therefore cannot answer your question with certainty: I was playing music in the car during a road trip. When my phone was almost out of battery, I would plug it into the iContact Power Bank on one end, and use the audio cable to continue with music. So while it was charging, it was in use. I've never actually tried recharging it without the phone in use, but I am pretty sure it would because it was in use for HOURS during the road trip. Hope this helps!

No, it charges with your phone via lightening connector located at the bottom of the battery.

Yes, it can charge the phone at the same time. Use the turn on the "location" button, and the "car mode" button and use it hands free!

Yes. It charges the phone and then the case. The best part is that it uses a mini USB connection and not an iPhone cable.

Yes, but it may not charge as quickly while in use. I've made phone calls and used data while charging with no issues.

Yes. The battery pack uses advanced Texas Instruments Battery Management IC. So you can charge the battery pack at the same time when it is charging your phones.

Yes, and fairly quickly, too. It charges whether it's turned on or not. I really like it. The sound is great!

I think what you are asking is can you charge your phone while charging the battery. Yes as far as I know. I did this back in late August and it seems fine.

I believe it charges while in use, but I rarely use it without having it plugged in.
