I found that it was sporadic in charging my iPhone; once even discharged it to zero; must have drawn power from the iPhone to charge the battery in the case! I now use it this way: Off until iPhone reaches 50% charge. On until iPhone is at 100%. Rinse and repeat until no more juice in the pack. At this point the iphone will usually be about 75% charged after about 3-4 cycles. I can get a full day's worth of operation with data, streaming a/v, podcasts and several 5-10 minute calls. Before, the iphone would die after about 5 hours of usage. But I do carry a spare plug in battery for those 'just in case' moments. I, too, purchased such a battery pak from Best Buy.
