It is off until u remove it from its compartment and also the phone would need to have bluetooth enabled and be paired with it so it is optional

The only time I've done was on speakerphone or using bluetooth, I'm sure though that it wouldn't much effect the volume of your call either way.however the cover may accidentally touch a button on your screen if you move and turn the screen on. When I'm using my phone to take calls I fold the cover the other way around and hold it as you would any other phone / case.

It works great with my case. I have this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00FGCUMF0/ref=redir_mdp_mobile?ref_=pe_385040_30332220_pe_334550_28252360_3p_dp_1I think if you make sure your screen is clean and there is no dust and you press down the edges well, this case goes slightly over the edge of the skin, also protecting your phone from drops (which has happened to me plenty!). Ps the case I got was super cheap, like $4.99 but works amazing so far (I've only had it 2 months though). Hope that helps! It works great with my case.

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.

Read the details. for whatever youre looking at. There are bluetooth pieces like this that act either or, you juust have to be careful and read the details welli have one thats hooked up to my tv as a transmitter so i can hear it at night thru bluetooth headphones when my girl is trying to sleep and i want to watch tv and then i also have one that acts as a receiver on a speaker so i can bluetooth my phone and listen to music. They are very useful so long as you get the right one when that youre trying to get. you can also keep them plugged up so long as you have a ready and able power plug available to whereever you plan to use it GOOD LUCK Read the details. for whatever youre looking at.

This bluetooth could be connected with 2 phones on line at same time. You can place one phone on hold when you answer the other phone.However, I think you mean your phone could support 2 line at same time (1 phone for 2 line). If so, it's none of business with the bluetooth about this function.Hope my answer could help you.

You should be able to "pair" your phone with this device. If you experience difficulty, look at your instructions that came with your phone. There should be a step-by-step tutorial showing how to pair your phone with a Bluetooth device.

I've seen some inquiries about color peeling, is that still happening, do you still recommend the case even taking this in mind?Does every model fade to the same color once they peel? If they don't which one should I choose to reduce the peeling effect?Thanks in advance and sorry for the multiple questions, I really like the design of this case but this is holding me back from buying it at the moment.

Didn't really try that out. I only used plug in headphones and then bluetooth headphones. The case is designed to protect your phone while you are riding, so based on that I do not think that you would be able to use the built in speaker, or the sounds would be muted. However, I just tried it out and it worked. I had to turn the volume up high, but I was able to listen to the built in speaker while in the case. Please note that I could not adjust the volume while it was in the case. But to answer your question, yes, you can listen to music with the built in speaker while the phone is inside the case.

It is optional. When using the screen protector, the touch function is a little less sensitive and you need to press a little harder than if you do not use it. Personally, I"m glad I use it. I've a few scratches on the protector & I do not know how they came about. But, I do know that my phone's face looks new & my phone is now over 1 year old. Hope this helps some.

I had no difficulty using the Bluetooth audio whilst charging. Not sure why the other fellow had differing results. Perhaps like other devices you need to use a charging cable, not a data cable if you mean to use it whilst charging.

No I was stating that I had no problem with either input.I was skeptical at first but I figured I can always return in. I dont regret getting the case. I will be purchasing another very soon(phone flew out on a ride at the amusement park)

I see three responses here stating that the device works while being charged, that has not been my experience. Once I connect the device to a charger while still on, it automatically disconnects from the blue tooth source. In this case the source being my phone.

Thats a good point. Actually specifically with bluetooth headset you have to hold it .. see it, wear it .. I also bought one from costco.
