Hello Stacie. I have yet to figure out this case to be honest. I bought it because I didn't want to spend the money on the Mophie pack which was a mistake because I ended up buying the mophie pack and still have this case sitting in the envelope it came in. I put the phone in the case and used my iphone 5 charger cord as instructed to charge the case. it begins to light up blue when charging then an error pops up saying accessory not supported. I tried several chargers from Apple, Belkin and Griffin, neither worked. Not sure if this was a faulty case or a general issue. But I never got it resolved. I simply paid for a mophie juice pack which works wonders. Hope this helps. Hello Stacie. I have yet to figure out this case to be honest.

Charge it until the lights go up all the way but be careful. You'll burn it out if you charge it too long. Also, don't charge the case and the phone together or you'll break it

Yes. It charges the phone and then the case. The best part is that it uses a mini USB connection and not an iPhone cable.

The iPhone 5 charger doesn't work with this case, it uses a universal style charger, and one is included with the case

Yes - it cones with a plug that fits the iphone/ipod/ipad socket. It does not fit iphone5.

I have an iPhone 5c and it did not work. But it was a nice case for low cost and I passed it to a friend. I would check to see if most otter boxes work the same for iPhone 5 and the 5s. I think they do and if so, this would work. Hope it helps

Yes. That's what it is supposed to do. The same light comes on when you plug in the normal charging cable too.

No it's for an iPhone, but you do need to remove the case from the phone to charge it.

Yes it does. However, you may need a small adapter for the Iphone 5's lightning connecter. I have one. It works fine. I believe amazon sells one. If not Apple does.

Yes, this works for the iPhone 5 as long as you have a USB to Apple lightning cord or use a 30-pin adapter.

When the phone slides into the case, a built-in lightning connector attaches the phone to the case. The battery in the case then acts as an additional battery for the phone. A button on the rear of the case controls whether the case is "charging" or not. Then, to charge the case, you can use the USB cable provided with the case. Hope this answers your question.

On mine it charges the phone first then the case. The light is blue when charging the case then green when done.

The case comes charged. When you want to charge your phone you put the case on and press the silver button and dots will light up when theres no more dots you put the case on charge with the regular iPhone charger.

You have to hold it. Then it should charge. If not try charging the case. Still not working return it for a refund

No its for prior iPhones and or Ipods. It does not have the lightening plug. It has the old 30 pin plug.

Yes it does charge while your phone is charging... I only used it for less than a month and it stopped charging. I changed cables etc and nothing helped. Thanks to goo practices by Amazon I was able to return it for a refund and I got a similar product called Mophie. Had it for six months now and it works great. There is one drawback to Mophie... it has its own charging cable so you can not use your lighting cable. It also charges while you iPhone5 charges. good luck.
