Can you walk around with this plugged into your phone or will that damage your phone/usb connector?

Of course you can. It's no worse than having one's headphones plugged into it.

Yes, you can and also the micro-usb comes apart and they say it's not covered

I have had absolutely no issues with this. I don't even see how it would be possible to make the connection loosen from using it. I probably dock/undock my phone about 50 times a day and the charge, port and connections are all still in perfect condition! Definitely pick this item up and don't worry about it degrading over time!

Use a quality cable, and I'd think the shorter the better. Neither of which would make this product superfluous though. What this does, is to short out the 2 data wires in it, so the phone thinks that it's plugged into the wall, and therefore attempts to draw maximum power. I tested this over and over with a Mediabridge adapter that has usb ports. The only way i could get the usb ports on it to draw the same amount of power as I'd get from plugging it into an outlet, was by using this device.

If you notice it has two places to plug in a USB cable so if your phone uses a USB plug for charging then common sense would tell you you can plug in.

You can leave it plugged into the hole at the top of the phone. That's what works for me. Good luck.

You would only have the adapter in while charging the phone. If you were to dunk a charging phone in water then I imagine the water could seep in from the bottom snap that you open to insert the adapter and charger. However, it will not leak in from any other part. The case is only completely water proof when the bottom is snapped shut.

You have to be care full as the USB port is very delicate. I would recommend getting a jack to plug into the wall it plugs into the USB port then you don't have to mess around with charging it. You can then keep it plugged in and out of wall. I bought mine at Best Buy. It is an adapter that fits into the USB port. I use mine all the time love it.

If your Charging port has been damaged, this product will probably not function properly. Inside the charging back there is a built-in plug that must connect to your phones charging port (the Micro USB one at the bottom)

I have done nothing to mine and have kept it outside since I bought it. I thought about wrapping it in plastic where the usb plugs in to make it outdoor safe, but have not done so. they are pretty tough. I am sure I am drastically reducing the life of mine but it is just temporary until I get a line buried.

I charge it with the usb. It doesn't last long. I am going to return it. Doesn't really work good if needed while out.

No. It does not interfere with the ability to plug the phone into a normal wall charger.

I use it with my iPod when I walk. All you should have to do is pair it to your phone and you should be fine

It just slides forward and back over the usb port. It covers the outside of the usb port the but whole with the contacts are still technically exposed. I've never had this be an issue for me but if you carry it in a pocket with a bunch of loose small stuff something could get wedged in there.

DEFINITELY! It bypasses the port completely. However, you prob should look at it charges slower than direct cord to the charging port. and you will need to buy extra 'plates' to have ability to charge your phone in more places. Lastly, start backing up your stuff so if you do get your phone replaced, you don't have to be totally out of luck.

Yes, I have a usb port and I charge my phone by leaving a gap in the zippers. It doesn't affect waterproofness since it's not really waterproof to begin with. Also, watch out for overheating. This case damaged my battery by overheating a couple of times.

Sorry. I have not tried walking away with the iphone leaving the camera to work. I may have to try it to see. I suspect yu should not break the bluetooth link.
