Iphone - Charging / Cheap usb cable?

1) I'm pretty sure its like this with all electronics, but i'm curious, what's the deal with charging iphones? Like is it ok to leave it charging when its on, even if its been at 100%? And what about leaving it charging when its off? Is that ok? Because I heard its not good for the phone or something like that. What can and can't I do for charging it?
2) Where can I find a cheap Lightning Usb Cable for the 5? I need an APPLE cable, not any other brand.

I always have mine on when charging… And most of the time I use my phone while charging too. It doesn't do any harm. And all apple cables are the same price everywhere:/

Get a new cable on amazon, its what I did. I never shut my phone off and always charge overnight…
