no. all buttons and charging port are not obstructed. one thing to note is that the case is very smooth. I personally feel like its slippery to hold.

No. Everything is open with the case on including the charging port, volume, headphone, and on/off.

You will charge the case with the USB cable provided with the phone in or out.

Yes you can charge it. It's not as thick or heavy as an otter box but it is as sturdy as one and I love it.

The Case has to be charged separately. However, I only use it when I travel. I have had it for a year and still have not charged the case. I love it!

Yes, you need either a special case pr a special 'ring' that plugs into the charging outlet

Yes, when you insert your phone into the case there is a connector in the case that plugs into your phone. The case has a rechargeable battery built in that will provide a full charge to your phone. You can leave the phone in the case and when you charge the case it will also charge the phone. It's basically a spare battery built into the case. I'm very happy with mine!

Yes, it comes with a bit of a charge. You will however need to charge it fully.

I think you can use a spare battery to charge the case instead of charging it directly from the wall socket.I have not tried it and I dont believe I will need an extra spare battery. cheers

Yes. I had to streach the opening just a bit, but I routinely charge it in the case without problem

No you can charge while it's in the case. The cord is not that long however it does

You have to use the cord provided. However, if you leave your phone in the case, it will charge both your phone and the battery case.

No, you charge it using a micro-usb either from computer or a micro-USB charger (such as you might have with your phone)

You have to open to case to get to the mini usb plug for the charging. No big deal.

yes it can be charged in the case. i have never attempted to run it out of a charge, but with casual use it will go several days before needing a charge. it has an auto off feature that saves the battery (i.e. the key board disconnects itself from the ipad and turns itself off even though the 'on/off' switch is still in the 'on' position).

No it's doesn't. Only the case comes standard. However unlike some other cases, it is very easy to take on and off, if you want to charge it that way.
