Do you turn it on when your battery is low and keep it off when you have battery life? Or do you only use the case when you are out of battery?

It has it's own power button on the back so you can turn it on or off whenever you like. I usually turn mine on around the 20% mark. But even with heavy usage, I typically only need to do that once per day & I have yet to run out of battery. Also, it automatically turns itself off once it has charged your phone to 100%.

Yes you turn it off when your phone is charged and only turn it on when you need to charge your phone.

Hello Jeff, This case was purchased for our company president. As far as I know, he keeps the case charged & only uses it when the IPhone battery is low. He did relay to me that it works very well & the design is outstanding. Hope this helps. Have a great day.

My phone is always in the case and the case is only turned on when the phone is low. But you could use it my way or the other way.

It's my wife's she turns it off when it's at 4-5% and she shuts it off at 100% but she noticed sometimes till shut off automatically when the phone is fully charged

I only turn it on with the battery is low. It automatically shuts off when the battery has fully recharged. The battery pack itself lasts a couple days before I need to recharge it.

I just received my case today and the auto wake/sleep function on the case is not working. Any help on this matter please?

No you do not, but for a faster charge on the go, if your phone and this case are both dead or nearly dead, I recommend separating the phone and case and charging them separately then assembling them back together when you leave the house. This is most effective because when you plug the case in with the phone attached, the phone gets charged first followed by the case once the phone is at 100%. This requires double the charging time, unless separated.

My first battery change was about two months in, and that's with heavy use and the screen/button illumination always on. I turned off the auto-on settings and stretched it out a couple more months. Of course, I use it constantly throughout the day and evening.

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 it is an instant on case. It puts it to sleep when you close it. To turn it off completely you have to use the off button. I love this feature. Enjoy

Plug the case with your phone attached and turn the case off, it will start carging your phone, when your phone is 100% automatically will turn the case on and start charging the case. And in the morning you have both charged. If you run out of battery during the day and want to charge your phone just turn off the case and it will start charging your phone.

It has to be turned on to use. It is stored in a soft case that has to be removed to use. But if you let a child play with it, they'd be able to pull it out of the case and turn it on. You don't want it too hard to use or it won't help you in an emergency. I'd keep it away from children.

To be honest, I'm too sure. I always make sure to turn off my screen before I close the case up. I know you have to go into you settings and accessories to turn on that feature but I don't think this product triggers auto sleep.

Charge it until the lights go up all the way but be careful. You'll burn it out if you charge it too long. Also, don't charge the case and the phone together or you'll break it

Hi, it starts automatically and stays on , and when its on u can click on soft power button to standbt ( might need to unplug and plug power if u do that) and reboot . So I keep it on all the time unless it gets hot, which is not often, then I unplug to rest it.

Best to turn it off then charge it....don't let battery drain totally. I often use it plugged in when it's fully charged.

Charge only. This case is awesome though. I bought 2 extra batteries and a charger and rarely plug it in. I just swap batteries instead of being tethered to a charging cord. Great case.

If you turn the power off completely, it will be fine for whenever you play next, which is what I do. However, if you leave it in "clock" mode or use it for walking, it will continue to use battery.

I just pressed it off and when I tried to turn it on it took two tries. It usually works though. I like it. I have like 6 cases and I happen to have this one on right now. Its a good case.

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.
