does this case provide power to your phone as a back up

It does not. It is only to protect the phone. Look for an "External Battery Charger Case Protector". Good luck!.

yes. The case is very bulky due to the thickness of the protective rubber but you can charge your phone. The port is relatively "deep" in the case, might take an extra second to plug in, but worth it for the protection. This case is perfect for those needing super protection for their phone, I can see it being not pretty/streamlined enough for normal use.

Yes it does. However its not as powerful/strong as some may like - after a bit of use I found it often just flopped open. Additionally I find that my device got real hot in the case sometimes - though to be fair I'm not sure if that's the case or the device's fault.

There is no power supply included with the case, no. You will have to install your own.

Yes it does. It provides average protection from falls waist high. I wouldn't recommend taking the case on and repeatly. This is the best case that you could get for the iPhone if battery performance is your main issue, period. I couldn't recommend anything else higher. Enjoy

Yes all you have to do is press the button and turn the case on. It will charge the phone then shutoff and the case will begin to recharge.

In general yes. I find that occassionally it will charge the phone, but then leave the case looking like it is charging, but it really isn't, so I have a charged phone and a uncharged case in the morning. I would say it happens about 15-20% of the time for me. Still a great case, and I suspect the best of the bunch that are out there.

yes it will work for a great back up if you don't have time to plug in & charge up

No. It is more of a backup for making phone calls, etc. when your phone's battery is low.

The power cord can be plugged in just as if the case were not present. It does not hinder the approach of the cord, so plug away front or back!

Yes, it is protective. The top piece of the case snaps over the entire front of the phone. Covers the corners and sides nicely. In my opinion. Oh yes it provides power. I have on more than one occasion been grateful to have it when my phone battery was way down, to be able to press a button and have it charge.

It does provide protection for the back & sides, but it's really an extra battery power. I use is primarily around the house.

Yes, it does plug into a power source, I use it with my iPad with a full cover otter box and it fits fine, you may not be able to use the setting shown in the picture however with it resting on second setting works great.

No! The case gets extremely hot and you are lucky if you get 10% extra battery life. I returned mine for a full refund.

yes but it helps to get a 30 PIN extender so you don't need to take the case off the phone every time you use it. Make sure you get a 30 pin extender or chord that has all 30 pin's connected.

Yes it does. I take it everywhere I go just in case because I use my iPhone 5 for music a lot and need to recharge periodically.
