When you iPhone battery gets low, do you have to manually switch to the case's battery, or does it switch automatically?

Your iPhone will tell you that your battery is getting low and then you just push the button on the back of the Maxboost and it IMMEDIATELY starts charging.

No I have to switch it on manually. But the great thing it charge the battery very fast.

There is a button on the back with 4 led lights that tell you how much power the case has left. If it's fully charged all 4 lights will be on. But you do have to push the button for a couple seconds to turn the case on. The case will then start charging the iPhone battery and you will see it go up.

You press a button, 5 LED lights turn for a few seconds, and the battery starts charging the iPhone. It keeps charging until it reaches 100%. Then it disconnects itself.

Most likely, you need to charge it longer. It does take a while for both the external battery and the phone battery to charge. Make sure to charge the case while the iPhone is in it as well. If that doesn't work, then take the iPhone out of the case, and download the app associated with the case to check on the actually battery percentage. The lights may not be functioning correctly, but the battery could be. Good luck!!

When the battery is fully charged it automatically switches to "trickle" mode to keep the battery topped up until you disconnect it.

I think it holds up to two "full" iPhone charges when the case itself is fully charged. If you do not use the case's charge feature because your battery lasted you the whole day, then it won't need to be charged at all. Regardless, the case is charged at the same time as your plug your phone is because they are connected.

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.

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.

You have to manually turn the switch on. Otherwise it will just be charging and not on

I only turn it on when my phone needs to be recharged. I bet it would cause a problem to leave the case on 24/7

There is an option in settings where you have to activate it so that it locks with the case. I'm not sure which part in settings it is, I'm sorry :/ (might be in general where the auto lock option is)

The iPhone display will not automatically go to sleep but you can use the sleep/wake button at the top of the iPhone to turn off the screen. This will drastically conserve battery!

should turn on automatically once tab sticking out from battery case is removed

You need press and hold button in order to turn it on. it does not drain your battery.

Regardless of what type of iphone cover or case, you should ALWAYS remove them from your phone so you don't end up with thermal buildup. This will kill your battery in the end. Eventually it won't charge or won't last. We all know(eventually) that the batteries are VERY EXPENSIVE to have replaced in most apple products.

You charge the case with the cable it comes with. you charge the phone before putting it into case. then when you put phone in case, you can turn the on/off switch on and it will charge ur iphone. led lights on back of case tells you how much battery life the case has left before you have to charge case. this case is a battery booster and it does the trick as long as you follow the instructions and take care of the product.

Yes. When you shut the case it automatically puts your ipad mini in "sleep" mode and when you open the case it comes on. This saves your battery.

Ok, I have had two of these (red and black) for 1 year iPhone 5... and like them so much that I cant think of using another brand. First, the only time you need to take tha case off is when you need to back up the phone by Lightning cable. Secondly, If you do your backups wirelessly you never have to take the case off. Thirdly, to charge the iPhone and case connect a micro usb cable to the case and the other end (regular usb 2) to at least a 10 watt wall plug. On the back of the case a red led will start flashing, then blue led will flash, then green led flash to steady green led (charging complete) When the charging starts, it will fill the iPhone battery first, then the case. From dead batteries it could take up to 4 hours. You can disconnect the cable any time during the charging cycle to use, and reconnect at a later time to continue. To only use your phone battery, push the button on the back till you see the indicator on the phone show battery in the phone only. If you want to use both batteries at the same time (passthrough charging) push and hold the button on the back of the case till you hear "chimes" and see the green battery logo on the phone. I fill (charge) both batteries, then turn off the case battery. When the iPhone gets down to about 20%... turn on the case battery (hold down the button on back of case) till till the phone reads 100%... about 15 minutes... then turn the case battery off till needed again. You can do this at least 3 cycles (for me 3 to 5 days). I carry a second charged case when I am on the road and "never" run out of juice. I hope this helps you and others ;-{)

No & no. It's pretty easy to understand though. You just slide the battery in the case & snap it on. The battery will outlive the case. On mine, individual light colors died -- after about a month of use, only the red & green worked anymore.
