Honestly, who cares? Explain to me the difference between letting your phone run off the case and then still have 100% left on your phone hours later vs letting your phone battery drain and then having to turn the case on to get it up to 100%? Your still getting the same amount of usage, you are just determining when you want to begin to charge your phone. End rant.
 
but when it is connected, which one get drained first? i have the mophie but i always wait until im down to 20% to flip. but most of the time, my mophie instead acts as an hero, borrow to my co-workers and charge their phones...

The case drains first. So you first see your case battery dwindle to 0% before the phone battery kicks in. If the case is going to get your through most of a work day before the phone battery is even touched then I don't see any benefit in having an on/off switch.
