Can you get more hours of use by leaving the case powdered off and then turning it on when the iPhone is near dead vs leaving case on?

We advise our end users to turn on the case when the phone battery is down to 20% to have the most usage of the case. If you leave the case on all the time, you will receive less battery because there is a constant conversion going on between the case and the phone which leads to more energy loss.We hope this helps! If you have any other questions, please kindly contact us via services@myunu.com.

Well that's actually how the case is supposed to be used but I don't suppose that keeping the case turned on even when the iPhone is decently charged will damage the phone per say however I would stick to the recommended use

Yes, I leave mine off until I get down to about 20-30% power on until recharged to 100%. I'll turn it back off and I can do that 2-3 times per case charge, unless I forget to turn it back off when recharging the phone. Be aware that it does get warm to the touch when charging the phone, not too hot but you know it's on. Also make sure your lighting plug port is clean as if it traps dirt or anything it can scratch the connections and cause issues with the phone. Otherwise highly recommended.

No! That's the beauty of this case. You can charge it and the phone at the same time. I do this overnight and when my phone battery gets low, I just push the little button on the back of the battery case and it's good to go for many hours more.

You have to remove the case. I'm not aware of any unit that would allow you to leave the case on.

You leave the case on all the the time. There is a button on the back you will press to recharge your phone when it is needed.

I would recommend taking the case off - the further distance between the charger and the device, the less the amount of charge per unit of time.

It's something that you don't need to charge very frequently because you don't (god forbid) have to use it often if at all. If you're like me and get excited when you get it, then screw around with it for an hour after you've charged it for 6-8 hours the charge will last about an hour. I keep mine in my purse with me at all times and the last time I charged it was approximately 3 weeks ago and it still has a powerful shock to it. I will charge it (on average) every 2-3 weeks for 6 to 8 hours. It's a pretty nice product. The case is cheap, but it's a good product.

Theres an app that does that. Just do it 3 hours before bed. Let it die. Plug it in turn it on charge over night then use regularly repeat 6 or 7 times a little bit of a hassle i know. But its worth it.

A charge overnight allows me to use my phone a solid 8-10 hrs and still have 100% iPhone battery life. Therefore, truly doubling the total battery life.

Yeah. The case battery only lasts for like an hour and the paint chips pretty easily, but it works really well.

The case won't charge the battery until you press the charging button for 3 seconds. Its possible that your iphone battery can die if you don't depress the button. As a rule of thumb, I always allow my batteries to "run down" before charging. This is the only way to exercise your battery to get the most life out. This has been proven in my household as the kids always charge the battery when they get home regardless of the battery level. Mine certainly holds out longer. Hope this helps.

No & no. It's pretty easy to understand though. You just slide the battery in the case & snap it on. The battery will outlive the case. On mine, individual light colors died -- after about a month of use, only the red & green worked anymore.

Great Question! The phone and case have become warm when the phone is in heavy use. When I notice this, I close all the apps I'm not using but are still running in the background. And this begins to cool it down. Personally, I also use this as a sign that I've been on my phone for a bit too long, so I set it down. The phone and case cool down quite quickly when I take these steps.

I only turn it on when my phone needs to be recharged. I bet it would cause a problem to leave the case on 24/7

There is a tiny on/off switch. If you forget to switch it off, when you're finished with it, the battery will be dead by morning :(

I use it as back up to my iphone when it dies. You first have to charge the charger, and keep it turned off until your phone gets low on battery, then turn charger on. Make sure the iphone is securely set into the case. It may take a minute to engage, but it will bring your iphone back to life. It will make occasional beeping sound, indicating its working.

I don't usually run the system on a battery unless I take it somewhere besides my desk but the power light doesn't go off when the iphone turns off so I would assume that it is still sucking power from the dock.

Needs to last longer when charging the phone. The battery of the case dies too quickly when charging the iPhone and the iPhone isn't even at 50%
