Phone takes micro USB - do I have to carry around both the switch 8 AND the cable or can the switch 8 connect directly to my phone for charging?

Yep - switch 8 only has a female USB slot to take your phone specific cable.

You can actually just buy a usb to micro usb adapter that would do the trick. I think mine cost a couple of bucks. There are several to choose from on Amazon.

You need the cable also, one end has usb 2.0 input female, the other output Male or vice versa

I got one before they came out with the Micro USB as the standard. It comes with a varitiy of adapters that you attach to the device. Then no mater how you lay the phone on the pad it will draw power from the pad and charger the phone. If they did not send the one you need you can get it from them.

Yes the micro USB plugs into the case. You can't charge the phone with apple cable while phone in the case. Have to use the supplies "new cable" to charge case and phone together.

There should be a switch. I used it with a laptop so shouldn't be a problem with a phone.

No it is not the same. Micro USB is the standard port for most other phone companies.

"Micro B" USB, which is the same as most cellphones use. Fortunately it is a very common connector. I have used the chargers for my cellphone, headphones, and even the USB cable that came with my Logitech remote to charge this light.

It will charge the iPhone 5 via the USB port, but there is no dedicated "Lightning 8-pin" cable. You will certainly have to buy an adapter that will connect with the older iPhone connector, or just be OK with connecting it directly to the USB

Just run to a Best Buy or jump on Amazon to find a micro-USB cord. It's universal, therefore you don't have to use the one that came with it and they are pretty inexpensive. You could even use the one that came with your smartphone (depending upon what kind of phone you have).

Micro USB, its the same cable for my Nexus 7 and HTC One, so I can just charge the battery with the same cables! Its super convenient!

I use the micro USB to charge the case. Both can be charge simultaneously using the same charger.

Yes, it comes with a USB cable and a little adapter for mini USB and micro USB along with other standard cell phone charging adapters. I no longer have this with me (I broke it) so I don't exactly remember all the other charging adapters. Hope this helps

Don t know but has standard USB would assume you have a cable for your phone with USB on one end

I use the built-in cable to charge my Samsung Galaxy III with the case on. Aside from my cell phone, this is the best purchase of a portable device I've made -- ever. I love it !!!

It comes with one USB cord. That USB cord works to charge it and then by reversing direction, to charge other items. The connector works with any mini-USB connector--so most Android phones with the standard mini-USB connection. For other connection types, you need to bring your own USB connector. That includes iPhones.
