Can you turn off the charge and just use this as a case, or do you have to always have it charging?

As long as the case has a charge, it appears to keep the headset charged to capacity as I've seen. Personally I prefer this as the last thing I want is to pull out the headset only to find that I forgot to tell the case the recharge the headset and find that the headset dead. Please note that when either the case, or if the headset is in the case, they both have a charge level indicator on the case to indicate their individual charge levels. If either is low, the LED light blinks red so you know which needs to be recharged. Leaving the headset in the case and recharging the case will recharge both. Hope that helps.

As soon as you seat the ear piece in the case it does charge; I have not seen any way to stop that process. Not sure that's a bad thing. With the long battery life and an additional one to two charges in the case, gives you a lot of mobility and long life without connecting to a device that will recharge the system. BTW, I keep the case in my car; when I have used it to recharge the Bluetooth, I connect to a micro USB car charger, and, in a short while, I have the case recharged.

You can't really turn it off but if you don't plug it in and charge it, it won't be charged and you can use it for just a carrying case. And if you decide you want to or need to charge the bluetooth you have that option. It is a nice carrying case.

You can use it as a case and it will charge the headset twice before you have to charge it again, it has it own battery built into the case.

I've done both and never had a problem. I usually charge with the switch on and the case closed till I need it again.

You need to remove the case. I guess you could do it with the case still on but it would be so awkward and probably break the door to the plug....... it's not worth it. for all intents and purposes you need to remove the case. i bought a transend wifi sd card and a charger with 2 batteries to minimize how much i will have to take the case off. it works for me, maybe a deal breaker for you.

You should be able to I haven't had any issues charging. The only thing is the case doesn't fit perfectly. It stays a little loose on top but charges the phone very well and fulfills it's purpose

Yes, it has an on off option. You can even charge the case while the phone is in it. I have not removed the phone from the case in weeks.

The unit has a battery for memory only so if you unplug it for a period of time all of your settings are saved once power is restored.As for the case, Yes it is possible to charge with my case on but keep in mind there are many different styles of cases.

You can disconnect the battery to turn it off. To charge the battery, connect it to an USB port (with the USB cable provided )

You charge the case . Plug your phone in then when battery gets low you hit a button on case and it charges battery about 20 percent. Mine seemes to loose its charge faster in my opinion. Case worked great. If you just want it for that.

No, you do not have to take the case off to charge the phone. I've had this case for several months now and it hasn't failed me. I love it!

Your question doesnt make any sense. The case is not the battery so the case does not charge. You can charge the battery on or off the phone in or out of the case.I have no idea what these other 2 people are talking about in their answers.

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.

The Case has to be charged separately. However, I only use it when I travel. I have had it for a year and still have not charged the case. I love it!

yes it can be charged in the case. i have never attempted to run it out of a charge, but with casual use it will go several days before needing a charge. it has an auto off feature that saves the battery (i.e. the key board disconnects itself from the ipad and turns itself off even though the 'on/off' switch is still in the 'on' position).

Yes. I hadn't tried that before but just removed the case from my phone and it is showing a full charge, which would be accurate. I plug the case with my phone in it each night so haven't had a reason to charge the case separately.

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

Yes you can use this while charging. Depending on the volume, this will result in some static/noise, but I've only experienced this turning it all the way up just to see if there was noise from charging.

I do not remove the case to charge my phone. I have not removed the case since I put it on. I have not dropped my phone but I feel the case is strong and sturdy. I'm thrilled with my phone case and purchased two other cases for friends.
