Yes you can leave the case on and charge it. My daughter has the case and it never given her a problem in any way. Other than her uncle wanting to steal it from her. :)

NO, just plug the phone in like you would normally do and the phone and the case both charge up at the same time. Just like magic!

Yes! The case has a little flap that covers the charging port. You just flip it up and plug in the charging cable :)

On the S4 If you place it with the Screen toward the body I can see the place for the ear piece to plug in. I don't use it that way but it looks like it would work if the S3 is configured like the S4. Observe the upper left side of the case in the picture there is an opening there.

Yes it's compatible with the S4. It's compatible with any device needing the micro-usb to charge. Charges my Note 3 with no issues.

You can, but it will slow charging times a little bit. At least that is the case with my S4 with an aftermarket wireless charging coil under stock back plate. I went that route to use standard cases where the samsung wireless backplate does not work with most cases. I actually have a seidio case that is a double layer case (hard case on phone and silicone rubber case wraps around hard case when more protection is needed) and my phone will charge with hard case and works with the silicone over the hard case too.

Yes, you would to buy a wireless charging back or case for your S4. I bought a receiver like this for my note 3. And it works great.Qi Wireless Cell Phone Charging RECEIVER for SAMSUNG Galaxy S4

No, the USB plug doesn't fit. The T & S Electronics cable works with the S4.

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

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.

You can use the charger, no problem. Everything is easily accessible on this case. I love the feel of it.

Yes you can charge with the case on. I had wondered about that before I got the case as well. No problems for me.

NO. Put in the search above for a charging case for the S3. Then get the one that goes for the S3. They are awesome!!

I have an android but no otter box. So I dont know. I assume if you can charge the phone by wall or car plug with otter box on then yes. It did o good job of charging or greatly extending battery on my S4. Its a good deal. Good luck
