My USB port broke and someone recommended this as an option for charging until my upgrade. Ok for daily charging?

I've had two of these, one hatched. I have four batteries, never plug in, just put a charged battery in in the morning. The replaceable battery is one reason I chose the Samsung phone.

I haven't had any problem with the USB ports. We now have two of these cases (black with orange and black with green). The older one is around 2-3 yrs. and it is a good case.

I don't believe this particular unit was configured for that use. As you can see they do offer Anker USB with specific charging capabilities. As I mentioned it may be possible but doesn't make it the proper choice to do so. Re-read specs and information given on main page for this unit and may shed more light on this question. Sorry could not be more help but I presently do not use this unit to charge any devices.Ray

Don't drop your phone while charging the phone, b/c the micro usb is very fragile. I dropped mine the other day with it plugged into the wall and now it won't charge. So it may suffer the same fate as other cases with this micro usb. The Apple plug in is very durable but for the size wise they went with the micro usb. It looks like I might be in the market for a new one. These cases are not cheap (and very heavy) and not easy to just go grab a new one when this issue happens.

Not sure of the terminolgy But the charge port is standard and are readily available for approx $5.00. I have a regular wall plug , a car charger and a USB

The USB port is only for charging, I don't believe it will accept flash drives .

This charger does not use the usb port, it uses the three spring loaded pins. That being said it should work, but there is always the possibility that with your usb port being damaged, that there is potential that the charging circuit may be shorted. So, no guarantees, but I would take the chance that it would work if it was me.

Yes, I have a usb port and I charge my phone by leaving a gap in the zippers. It doesn't affect waterproofness since it's not really waterproof to begin with. Also, watch out for overheating. This case damaged my battery by overheating a couple of times.

I'm uncomfortable with the yes answers since, as far as I can tell, the USB port is only for updates. The USB port is a good power source for small portable speakers (e.g. those from iHome).

Yes, this is only a USB port you will need to supply the appropriate charging cord.

The USB port is also available. I use a Duracell Power Mat at home, and use a car charger when I'm traveling. It is a well designed case.

I don't think so. All USB ports have 5 volts but not enough current for charging unless specified.

I check in the entire manual and there is no mention of the USB Port Version. Sorry.

I have charged it from several different usb ports. So to answer the question yes.

As long as you have the USB charging cord for it, it shouldn't be a problem.....the cable that is attached, is a micro USB....but I wouldn't buy it....it stopped being able to be charged 2 days after the warranty expired....I only had it a little over a month!

It depends on your battery. This is, however, what I am using since my USB port gave out. It's a less expensive option than buying a new phone or getting the port repaired.
