Using this case and the provided USB-to-microUSB cable; Will I be able to sync-and-charge or charge only?

You will only be able to charge through outlet. Since ios 7 came out you cant plug it in to your mac, pc and sync. Through a outlet you can charge case or just iphone or both. If you do itunes wifi sync then you can sync that way with case on once you open itunes and turn on wifi on iphone.

Charge only. This case is awesome though. I bought 2 extra batteries and a charger and rarely plug it in. I just swap batteries instead of being tethered to a charging cord. Great case.

RfGuy - the iphone syncs and charges without removing the case. No need for different cables. Every once in a while I will take the case off to clean the phone and I will use the apple cable but there is nothing to update or sync. It's charged and synced without the iphone cable.

Do you mean using the cradle? Not that I know of. I plug mine in to the micro USB to charge it.

I use it when I have a case such as Lifeproof; the stock cable will not go threw the case and allow the devise to charge to sync.

No you can't sync. You can charge the iPhone without taking it out of the charging case though.

Unfortunately that depends on the charger. My Apple supplied cable seems to connect just fine. However, I have to take the bumper off to charge using a third party lightning cable that I bought. I also have to remove the bumper in order to dock my phone on my iHome iDL100 alarm clock. The daily removal of the bumper from the phone has taken it's toll on my bumper. It's now cracked by the volume buttons and the bottom right corner has torn.

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).

It does charge it, that's the device I have. I do not, however, know what you mean by 'Sync' with it. Do you mean to ask if it syncs with other devices connected?

Strange, I just purchased the iPhone 5S with a Otterbox Commuter case and it fits fine with the Cover-Mate removed. It both charges and syncs fine. I just a couple of dozen photos and a dozen short (1-4 minute) videos using my desktop USB 3.0 port successfully. I also charged it using this set up hooked to both the PC and a dedicated AC charging adapter. Battery Doctor was happy with both methods with this cradle.

My micro USB connection wasn't working to charge any more, so I got the dock, and it's better and faster than the USB charge ever was. It connects with the four small metal connectors on the lower left edge. If you have those, it should be compatible. (The later model doesn't have them)

The best way to use this case is to charge both to 100% and then leave the case powered on. I find I can use the phone the entire day and it won't drop from 100%.

Yes, and vice versa. It comes with a charging cable that can be used on other micro-USB devices.

Have you tried a charge-only cable on your current oulet? It may do the trick for you...Mediabridge 2.0 Micro-USB to USB Charging Cable (6 Feet) - A Male to Micro B with Gold-Plated Connectors

You cannot, at least not with the cradle I have. I am also looking for a compatible external charger.

I tried using jelly case and charge without any issue, but you cannot fit a standard case unto it...

I use the micro USB to charge the case. Both can be charge simultaneously using the same charger.
