Is it designed to be protective and to provide power?

Yes, it is protective. The top piece of the case snaps over the entire front of the phone. Covers the corners and sides nicely. In my opinion. Oh yes it provides power. I have on more than one occasion been grateful to have it when my phone battery was way down, to be able to press a button and have it charge.

Yes it provides power. I would say it isn't as protective as some cases.. But the clips that hold the case together isnt very stong

The case is NOT very protective. I just got the case and the corner cracked on the plastic perimeter piece that holds the phone in the charging unit. The charging function is GREAT, but the case is NOT very protective.MaxBoost team,,,,, can you just send me a new plastic ring??

More so on the power point. It can be protective but not my much. The phone sits on a lightening port that is built into the case. The majority of the case is the battery. The rest is a very flimsy plastic mold that keeps the phone and the case connected.

No its powered all the time. Has a surge protector too. I have two and will be getting more.

Yes, it is a surge protector. That is it's main purpose. I had a surge a few weeks ago at a campground and nothing was affected. It is worth the peace of mind.

It would still protect the devices plugged into it if its off, as I understand it but I not an expert.

I haven't had any troubles. I don't think it's powerful enough to cause any damage, otherwise it would be quite a poor design flaw. Several smartphone and tablet cases utilize such methods to secure the device.

Why would it need to? It is just for tricking the computer and preventing it from going into a lower power mode

The surge protector is on in case of a power surge to protect your electrical appliances from shorting out

electronic over charging protection devices are not infinate life devices and have been known to fail safe, and not. why take the chance?

Yes. It's a smallish, flat, mercury cell looking thing. It lets you take it off the wall momentarily and not lose the settings. I guess it would do OK in a power failure.

Yes, it's the same as the power from the power company. I would suggest using surge protectors as you should already be using.

I would think if it's protected from the elements and safely wired to a ground fault circuit, why not.

No. its electrical conductivity is minimized to prevent damage to the components

No...and it needs a source of power so unless u gonna carry around a small generator it won't work as cool.... (I like that idea tho)

Yes, it'll protect against most any surge other then a direct lightning hit.

I haven't used it but it's good to have as a protection plan just in case,God forbid, it breaks or ends up not working. Hoped this helps :)

Yes, that's what I use it for. It doesn't come with a case, so I bought a utility box at Radio Shack and put the unit in the front of the box and an outlet in the back. The unit has a relay that can be used to control the power to the outlet. (In other words, some assembly is required.) I have been using mine for about a year, and it's been doing fine.

Sure. My favorite feature of the protector is that if it is compromised by a surge, it will start beeping about every 30 seconds to inform you if it is out of sight. I would not use it for electronics because it is designed to continue providing power to your refrigerator so your food will not spoil and in the event of a storm, it would not continue any additional protection and would let additional surges through.
