What kind of cable charges this case? Does a MicroUSB cable charge this case like the Mophie cases?

According to this site, it comes with a MicroUSB charging cable to charge the battery pack. http://www.adorama.com/LRBC5R.html

Yep it's just a standard mini usb. It makes your iPhone more universal it's nice. You keep the case on and charge them together. It actually ends to making your iPhone chargers pointless. But mini USB works with all sorts of stuff. If your phone is dead, when you charge it prioritized your phone, them charges the case. When your phone gets close to running out of juice, hold the button for three seconds and it will start to charge.

I would buy directly from mophie since there seems to be so many reports of people receiving counterfeit mophie products. 6", 12", and 32" cords are available for purchase from their website. Here is a link: http://www.mophie.com/shop/micro-usb-cable

In my experience, it is rather transparent to the user. Plug the cable into the microUSB port in the battery case, and both are charged in sequence -- see the charging question below.

You can charge it with any charger whit it's hooked to your phone but the case doesn't charge your phone.

You can use any micro USB cable to charge that case. It does work. Does it take longer? I don't really know because I never didn't evaluation, however I would guess yes probably a little longer but it still works

There is a MOPHIE insignia on the bottom of the case. In addition, you can tell from how long the battery is powered on your iPhone. The imitation ones will not provide more than a 50% charge.

To clarify for my experience:1.) I did not get any wall charger. 2.) And you cannot use your iphone cable when the iphone and case are together. There is only one port - a microusb port. 3.) As far as I can tell, the charger charges first before the iphone gets to recharge itself. Which is rather annoying.

The case comes with a micro-charger, which charges both the case & the iPhone simultaneously. It works for me because I used the same micro charger for my old blackberry & still use the same micro charger for my cameras. I've not taken the iPhone out of the case to use the lightning charger and lightning charger won't charge the case.

You need the iPhone 5 charger to charge the case separately. You, unfortunately, can't use the android cable! Sorry!

It charges via mini USB, however, I wouldn't waste my time with this one if I were you. It worked to charge my iPhone the first time I used it, but after that point, I could fully charge the case, however, the iPhone would not recognize it when connected.

Anything with a Lightning or MicroUSB connector needs no additional cable. (Recent iPhone, iPad, Android) You can also charge any device which has a USB charge cable. (Older iPad or iPhone with cable, etc.)

If it's standard microusb cable tip it should work, no need to remove the cover, love it so far, the white one is so pretty!

this case can be charged by using USB port charger, and this case will charge your phone using the charging point for dock charger (the 2 gold dots below the microSD port)

The iPhone connects internally to the battery/case via the Lightning connector but the charger and connector for the case is a micro USB.
