Hi, I would like to know if I charge the case to a usb connect, does it automatically charges also the iphone or I must do both things?

When you plug in the mini USB to the charger case when it's in place on the phone, it automatically will charge the phone first and then it will charge itself. Once you unplug it from the USB, there is a 'button' on the back left that you press and that will then let the phone run down as usual and will save the charge in the case if you need it. If you want to activate the case, you press that 'button' again. You'll see the battery turn green on your iphone whenever this thing is charging it. Once you press the button on the back, the green will turn to white, indicating that the phone is using its own charge.

This is a great charger. When you connect it, it charges the iPhone and then the case. Then it uses the case charge first and the the iPhone charge. I've had the other kind that are cheaper but with this I never have to worry about charging during the day from the case like it did with cheaper cases

It will automatically start charging your case and the phone. The sequence will be first the phone, then the case.

It charge iPhone first. and when it full. charge case. it is done automatically. one pitfall is case charging take quite long time with 5V 1A adapter (iPhone charger). I recommend iPad charger (5V 2.1A). With that It takes 2~3 hours to charge iPhone and case full

If attached by way of USB or AC Adapter, the case and iPhone will charge together. My unit has served me well, good luck.

If the pass-through charging doesn't work, make sure you hold the button on the back of the case and turn it on BEFORE you plug the micro-usb cable in. The iPhone 4s version automatically did the pass-through, as it did not have a switch and always charged. I was missing this key step, too and now all is working well!

There are two ways to use it. 1) if the light on the back is on, you are first using the complete charge on the Unu, then when it is drained it will automatically switch to the battery power on your iPhone. 2) is to use the phone battery first. The Unu will keep it charged as long as it has 'extra' charge in it. This is the way that I prefer it. When I put my phone in the charger it makes a bell type of noise. The light does not come on. If it does (it has a few times) I just push the button. It should go out. My experience makes me believe that it lasts longer with option two. I try to not have that light on, but I've never really tested this theory. What it boils down to, is I really don't know. Lol!

Apple (Iphone etc) products have their own connectors. This item has micro usb which iphones dont use - they have proprietary connector. I'd check for an adapter or return this and get an apple brand charger. sorry!

You can take the iPhone out and charge it, but the charging of the battery and the case is done with one charger at the same time. I never use the Apple charger anymore.

when you put the case on the phone, there is only a USB connector that can be used. That usb charges both phone and case. No need to lightning cable, actually you cant even use it.

The way this case charges is it has a 2200 maH battery inside the case. First, you charge the case with a Micro USB charger. it will show 4 LED lights on the back of the case. If there are 4 LED lights flashing when your charging the case, the case is fully charge and you are able to use your case on your iphone.

You just insert the USB and/or auxiliary plug into any USB port in your car or PC and the other end into your iPhone and the iPhone charges up. This cable is only used as a charger cable to power up your device when the battery is low.

I think how it actually worked was if you charged the case while the iPhone was in once the case is fully charged it starts to charge the iPhone at least I think but normally I just charged the case and iPhone seperately. And no the case is the iPhone 5 and newer charger

The case has a different charger. But if the case is on you phone then you charge the case it automatically charges the phone as well.

I have not tried that, I just charge the iPhone thru the case. The top is made of plastic, so I didn't want to break it every time when I take the iPhone out.

It gets charged using the IPhone charger. If u charge while the IPhone is in it, it will charge the IPhone first and once it's fully charged then the case will start to charge.

You can't charge both at the same time so the best way is to have your phone inside the case and charge it while it is there. Then, once it's fully charged then the case will be charged automatically.

HI! when you are charging the phone with the case, you need to turn on the button in the case. The first thing to charge is the phone and then the case. sorry for my english

Put the phonein the case immediately, turn the switch on the bottom of the case to on and plug it in. It charged phone and case. Adds so much to a charge you can go all day!! Just plug in anytime you need to charge, and it does both every time!!

you can probably charge your iphone through the insert. However, you cannot charge the phone with the aux cable. The aux cable is for transferring audio only. Hope this helps!
