What El Barto said. Also, I use this as a back-up battery. I always keep it charged and in my bag, ready to go. Came in handy plenty of times.

You cannot use your existing gel case because its thicker, you can use the existing charger. Buy another case from Amazon or Autozone. The case Autozone had fit the thick phone/battery perfectly.

This battery is thicker than the OEM battery your phone came with. It comes with a different battery cover to accommodate so it might be too big for the phone case. You can plug in your charger to the phone to charge the battery the same way you would the old battery. The higher capacity means it might take a little longer to charge.

Your gel case will not fit due to the extended battery cover. Yes you can use your existing battery charger. I wish they made a gel or protector case that would fit with the extended battery cover, but for now, no one does.

Yes. The charger has the same plug for charger the same as the USB charger which comes with the phone. When the phone slide on the charger case makes contact with the male pin and activating the button on the back start charging the phone . The charger has the same USB charger as the phone as well for charging the charger and the phone. You need to have the button on in order to charge both , in other wise will be charged only the case .

If you are referring to the protective case for the phone, mine would not fit anymore but it does fit in the belt clip holder I bought (for around $8) on Amazon. So I don't use the gel case anymore but the extra life for the battery is worth it for me. Maybe you could make a slit down two parallel sides of the gel case and get enough stretch for it to fit but on an expensive case you may not want to do that.

Yes, you can charge it. You only remove the case if you want to change the battery or SD card

If the charger is on, I don't think there's a case made that could accommodate it. Personally I just use a mofi pouch together with my phone with the charger attached

Cushman, From the pictures I looked at on the WEB the Nillkin should work well with this charger. This case looks like the thin Gel case that I have. Not sure if the models with the front cover would work as the cover would make it thicker. Rich

Yes and No. I have the same case. You will not be able to charge the unit and have it vertical as shown. You can set it in horizontal and charge it that way.

I have a case and it fits. You can adjust it, u can widen it. And yes, you can plug in the usb charger while in the holder

Yes or you can just use the one that came with your phone. I leave my charger on the phone when I charge it and turn it on and charge the phone at the same time

Yes, you can use the charger and cable you already have for your phone. It's usually really slow when you charge using a computer vs the wall outlet.

I'm not really sure what's the question is but if you are asking can you use a wireless charger or a charger with the case on a phone yes is the answer.

No. I have both and they are different and not interchangeable. The charging ports are in different locations.

No, I have a case on my phone and i have to make some adjustments to the charger. otherwise you have to take out the case to set the phone

Yes, you can still use a traditional charger, when you don't have the wireless charger with you. You still have the receptacles on the phone to use.

No. The charger has a USB connection. One end in the charger, other in your phone. Simple as that. No case removal should be necessary.
