Can you recharge the phone while it is in the case or do you have to remove it from the case to charge it?

You simply unsnap flap at the base of the case to access the charger. Phone can stay in case.NOTE: the hole cut into back of case for photos is too small for FLASH - the flash reflects off the edge of hole causing part of photo to be white. Another thing is that the base flap that secures phone in case is thin and stretches over time causing phone to shift slightly top-to-bottom, so you need to be carefule that photo opening is centered in case opening when taking a photo.

The snap near the necklace allows easy access for charging while the phone remains in the case.

Yes, you only need to unsnap the botton to open the recharge input for the recharging chord.

If you want to charge the phone by itself you will have to remove the case. While the case is on, there is no input for the lightning cord. If the case is on you wouldn't need to charge it with the iphone charger. You can charge both simultaneous. No need to remove the case.

It can be charged in the case, there is a small opening at the bottom where you can open it and charge.

I would say no because there is no place to charge it if the case is on the phone covering the charging spots on the phone if the phone has an charging back on the phone. If you were to charge it the normal way you can use the case because no 2 cases can work together if they don't come together in the same package I hope this made sense hopefully if not message me again to get a better understanding

No you do not have to remove case. You can also keep case on when you want to charge phone. Fits perfectly and its not too bulky.

Hi! You can flip it up and use it while it's still in the case. I bought it for my dad's phone and I've never seen him have to take the phone out of the case.

You have to open the cover to charge the phone. No need to take it out of the case

You can charge it with the case on. I charge it every night with the case still on. There is an open space on the bottom.

You can't charge both at the same time so the best way is to have your phone inside the case and charge it while it is there. Then, once it's fully charged then the case will be charged automatically.

it's a charger, it can be recharged... and yes you can use your phone while charging it.Problem with mine- i dropped it.. and it hasn't worked since - I loved it before that happened.

The case charges the phone and if you have the cover on and plug the adapter in, you can also charge the phone while you're charging the battery pack. The only thing that stinks alittle is that when you have the battery cover on it, your calls have an echo in the background. Also my battery came damaged and the company never replaced it. Hope your luck is better than mine. Good luck : )

Hi, you cannot charge the phone with the case on. That said, since presumably you'd only be using the case outside when biking, the charging can take place beforehand while not in the case.

I have never had a problem with charging my phone while in the case. I've been using this case for 6 months.

No you do not, but for a faster charge on the go, if your phone and this case are both dead or nearly dead, I recommend separating the phone and case and charging them separately then assembling them back together when you leave the house. This is most effective because when you plug the case in with the phone attached, the phone gets charged first followed by the case once the phone is at 100%. This requires double the charging time, unless separated.
