Accessories ZeroLemon Battery Case - Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

https://a.co/d/1PR4DIo
Just wanted to provide a quick review for this case ... This thing is a lifesaver if you're in a bind and don't have access to your standard charging options! It is a bit bulky, obviously, but the trade off is worth it! 10,000 mAh gets two full charges so with this case your phone can easily last a few days ... great while camping!
There's no obstruction of the camera (any lense) so snapping pics isn't a problem. Also, you can charge the case and phone while the case is installed with superfast charging! I found Samsung DEX also works through the case too!
Would highly recommend this case! I also love having it around for when we lose power due to storms (which unfortunately has been quite frequent in my area) ... The piece of mind knowing that my phone won't die and I'll be able to stay informed of the situation and make emergency calls if needed is indispensable!

While I too think big numbers are better. This looks way too massive to actually be useful, their own description says it's as thick as 3 s23 ultras, that wouldn't fit in my pocket. Personally I'd just stick with the tiny 5000mAh Anker charger that is magsafe compatible for those that have a magsafe case and it has a nice USB c to c cable for charging the phone and itself. It's smaller than the phone and fits in my pocket with the phone.
This looks like a great concept for extreme users not everyday uses.

I have a 20000mAh portable battery pack that is less thick than this case would make my S23 Ultra so I'll probably just bring the battery pack when my husband forces me to go camping this summer lol

I also have this case, thanks to ZL for sending me a test unit. I really like the case even though it's something I'll use very sparingly. But for camping trips, this one will be a must. Low signal usually means awful battery and I'll for sure be slapping this case on to keep the phone going the entire weekend. I know battery packs are good too and I have one, this case really excels when you need to move around and still use your phone, and don't have to deal with extra cords.
I will say that ZL customer service is awesome too. I had a minor issue with my first test unit and they were willing to get another one sent out right away!

My suggestion is to get a magsafe case and a magsafe powerbank (I have ESR 10000mah) they go hand in hand and is much less uglier!

iOttie Waterproof Skin

http://www.amazon.com/iOttie-Waterp...SIXU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1336756630&sr=8-1
Has anyone ever used these before for their phones?
I'm going on vacation in a couple months, and I'd really like to use my g-note to take pictures underwater. This looks like its pretty cool, just wondering if anyone has used one on their notes
This look like an awesome idea, however, I wouldn't want to bring my phone down into the water with it though. You have to make sure there aren't any small holes which are probably really easy to get and you also have to make sure that there aren't any gaps between the sealing tape.
It's basically a ziplock.
I wouldn't even trust it.. its too cheap.
Wouldn't recommend it, I just broke my screen and found out that the insurance replacement is $200! That seems a bit ridiculous as my car deductible is only $500.
Any waterproof bag has one flaw. The water pressure will cause the touchscreen to work funny. You cant select anything. Its like a giant thumb pressing the whole screen at once.
Imo buy a cheap disposable waterproof camera. Really how many photos would you take underwater?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
yeah, I'd say go for the real disposable, or non-dispoable, underwater camera. But if you actually need to waterproof your phone, use an Aquapac. I can't suggest a specific model based on the Note's size, but I have several of these from previous phones and they're great. A little more protection from drops/bumps, and completely waterproof.
The Kodak sport camcorder is waterproof already and and I have seen it at best buy as cheap as $120 which is a lot less that what is going to cost you to get your phone working if that cheap waterproofing fails. I would not mind using that product to protect my phone when I'm anywhere close to water but I would not intentionally jump in it.
I just bought one of the iOttie Waterproof Skins....but not for my Note, but for my HP Touchpad. I bought the one for the ipad2, which is almost the exact same size as the Touchpad.
I like the idea of this, especially on a wireless chargeable device like my Touchpad is. I have one of the waterproof bags, and while it does work, it is kind of awkward, and the plastic is loose fitting, and just didn't' make it easy to use the Touchpad.
I actually have two Touchpads, and we like to use them when hanging out at the pool. We have a water misting system at the pool, and couldn't use the Touchpad before without the danger of it getting wet, so...I thought that a nice tight fitting watertight skin would be perfect. And since I don't have to break the seal to recharge the Touchpad, the skin should work for me much longer.
If the skin does everything I expect from it, then I *may* buy one for my Note, just for extreme cases of when I feel I want to protect it more than usual, but for now, I just use a ziploc bag for it, and it gets the job done just fine.
I will let you guys know what I think of it after it gets used by the pool.
Just wanted to update you on my purchase of the iOttie Waterproof Skin. As I said in my above post, I got this for my Touchpads, not for my Note, because I felt it would be more useful with the Touchpad being a wireless charging device.
So...Yes, it is waterproof. I didn't "dunk" it, and don't ever plan to. I did use it by the pool with the misters turned on, and it worked great. It was easier to use with the skin on it than with the waterproof bag I also have for it.
The skin is just not really noticeable. My finger doesn't slide on the screen as easy as it does without any protection, but it felt the same as when using the much more expensive waterproof bag. The skin is out of the way more, so it made the Touchpad easier to use than the bag system.
Haven't needed to take the skin off the Touchpads for charging, which is great. If someone could come out with a wireless charging system for our Note, I would seriously consider getting one of the iOttie skins for the note to use in harsh environments and leave it on there for extended periods, but without a wireless charging system, I could only see using the skin on the Note for EXTREME cases. If it wasn't for the problem of having to open it up each time for charging, then this would be a great option. iOttie needs to make wireless charging replacement battery doors for phones, along with selling the skin as an extra protective option.
If you are going to the beach, I do recommend the skin. It will at least keep sand/water out, and keep the sand from scratching the phone also.

In reality, inductive charging is pretty easy. Coil, connections. I've seen this sort of thing done on multiple devices, it just comes down to finding the right sized coil that'll fit and having the balls to solder it on.
That said, inductive pads are a tiny bit bulky and add some pennies in cost, but I don't get why EVERY device doesn't have it. It's awesome to have, and less strain on the USB connection.
Thanks for all the input. I think I may just go with a cheap waterproof camera from CVS or something. Ill leave the phone in the room ....

I have been looking at my options for building an inductive charging setup for my Note. I actually have already bought just the Mugen Extended Battery cover (no Mugen battery), so that I could have the room to install a coil. This cover gives me a LOT of extra room. I just have to figure out how I want to connect it up to actually charge the Note. Just haven't had time to look into it closer yet.

Room for the coil is certainly one aspect, but the connection to the charging pads is certainly the more difficult task. Good luck, use a GOOD soldering iron, and take your time.
If you're not great at the iron, you might find some representative circuit board and experiment on soldering it.
Looks cheap
It looks pretty cheap. It looks like a ziplock bag. If I were you I wouldnt trust that. I would not get it.

Let's Talk Power Cases with Screen Covers!

Alright, so today the last of the power cases with screen covers I've been able to find came in, I figure I'd do a quick write up on each. Since the only camera I have is my phone, I'll just be using stock pictures.
First, Sony's Official Power Cover, the CP12: (www.amazon.com/Sony-CP12-3000mAh-Battery-Charging/dp/B00FX2MG3Y/)
Cost: ~$150.
Battery Size: 3000mAh
Pros:
High quality feeling case.
Uses with/supplies the magnetic charging port
Has a slot for/supplies a stylus.
Cons:
By far the most expensive. The other two options aren't even in the same price range.
Makes the Z Ultra bulkier than before; By others accounts it's about as big as a Nexus 7 now.
The stylus isn't tightly held and will slip out with little fuss.
Conclusion: While it's high price is very off putting (I picked it up during the winter sale when it's price was a bit more managable), as a case it's very high quality. Dispite slipping in and out with relative ease, I find it usually doesn't come out unless I want it to. I find for casual to medium use the battery supplies an adequate backup charge. In terms of in the hand feeling it outclasses the other two options without even putting up much of a fight. That being said, at it's high price point, it may not be entirely worth it.
Overall, if you want to use something officially made by Sony with a high build quality that can provide an adequate charge if need be, this is what to go for. Still, price for price, it may not be worth it.
"Brando Power Case" (http://www.amazon.com/Aftermarket-Product-4500mAH-Battery-Portable/dp/B00G9RCSHG/)
Cost: ~$30-$40
Battery Size: 4500mAh
Pros:
Thinnest case with the most minimum bulk added.
Feels decent in hand
Charges with the proprietary magnetic port, but takes a Standard Micro USB for input.
Cons:
Cover feels flimsy
Questionable build quality
Conclusion: OK, so first, I put the name in quotations because for the life of me it's hard to find what on earth this case is actually called; The one I bought came straight from a shop called Brando; Google it if you desire. However, the one I received flat out didn't work. My phone neither recognizes being plugged in nor does the case act like it's charging something. Which is unfortunate, because I actually like the overall feel of this case. If it were to work (And if I weren't just one of several cases where this case is reported as faulty, I'd write off my experience as a one off), I'd say it outclasses the Sony case without question. The lack of stylus support isn't, in my opinion, worth mentioning; If you need a stylus, just carry a pencil with you.
Overall, if you're willing to risk getting a dud product, go ahead and go for this one. If it works, you'll get a nice feeling case with a much better charge than the CP12
"KingsMansion Battery Case" (http://www.amazon.com/5000mAh-Portable-External-Rechargeable-Battery/dp/B00FWP8FKU/)
Cost: ~$30
Battery Size: 5000mAh
Pros:
Biggest battery of the lot
It's textured back grants protection against slipping.
Has the best grip on the device of any case here.
Cons:
Textured Back feels weirder in the hand.
Even when plugged in, it will only charge the phone when the switch is on.
Conclusion: I haven't had much time to deal with this thing yet, since it just came in today, however, I like what I have for the most part. While it's the hardest of the lot to put the Z Ultra into, it also has the best grip on it. It will NOT come out without you meaning to take it out, but it's also fairly easy to remove when you do. It provides the best charge to the Z Ultra, clocking in at 5/3 as strong as the CP12, and being as thin width wise as the Brando one. However, the textured back feels different in the hand compared to the smoothness provided by both of the other ones. I don't get the same feeling of questionable build quality from it as I do from the Brando case, however. Oh, and like the Brando case, I have no clue what to actually name this case; I got the name "King's Mansion" from the seller on the Amazon page, but the actual box doesn't have any company name on it as far as I can see. As a side note, it's a thick case... I'd say just eyeballing it that the back of the case is as thick as the Z ultra itself. I personally think this is fine since I think the Z ultra's a tad too thin anyway, but it's up to you.
Overall: Cheapest, best grip, thinner than the CP12, and has the biggest battery. While it feels a little worse than the other two, it'd definitely worth the price. I'd pick it up on Ebay over Amazon (I did), just because the amazon one has aweful delivery times to the US, but choose as you wish.
I have the 4500mAh too and it is a hit or miss to get it to charge indeed. :/
... Oh wow, it's only been 3 days.
The "King's Mansion" case that I recieved earlier broke today- The USB charging port now only can connect a charge straight to the phone, and it's internal battery readers simply don't respond. That's when the USB charging port does work- it got insanely loose yesterday and just won't do anything anymore.
So, final conclusion: You're going to have to spend some decent money (Either Mugen's case or the CP12) if you want something guaranteed to work.

Zero Lemon Nexus 6 Slim Power case review.

**ZeroLemon contacted me about a week ago asking if I would like to receive a free review unit of the Nexus 6 Slim Power case, and I accepted. This is a non-bias review on the case. I received it 9/16/2015 and promptly installed it. This review will be updated for 7 days.**
I have previously used ZeroLemon products for my Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S4, and my girlfriends Nexus 5. I have found that the internal replacement batteries are much better than the externals, but the external ones come with cases that may actually give your phone a chance to live during a drop. I have so far enjoyed all of my ZeroLemon products.
9/16: Received ZeroLemon slim power case in the mail and installed it immediately, replacing my SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Pro.
The first thing I notice was that this case literally doubles the thickness of the phone. Not only that, but it adds nearly half an inch to the bottom of the phone below the speaker. The battery included in the package fits very will in the case, but I'm still a bit shocked that ZeroLemon thought 3500mAh was enough.
The case comes with a Z-shaped connector to keep the phone and the battery connected, and allows pass-through charging via a micro-USB port on the left side of the phone. There is also a decent sized cutout on top for the 3.5mm jack, though they decided to include a 3" 3.5mm extension with the case.
To turn the battery on, you hold the power button on the back for a few seconds and you will have confirmation by your phone beginning to charge, as well as 4 blue LED lights on the back of the case. This works exactly the same as all of their other cases for phones with non-user-replaceable batteries.
First impressions:
-This thing is big. It's got a nice weight to it and makes it feel solid. Fits well in my hand (I have fairly large hands for a 25 year old male).
-The power and volume buttons are EXTREMELY SENSITIVE. I can't tell you how many times I have accidentally pressed something when just picking the phone up.
- No Qi-charging. Unfortunately, ZeroLemon does not give us a Qi capable battery, and the case is so thick that even a 3-coil charger will not penetrate it. (Now I have 2 nice Qi chargers that I can't use)
-No Quick Charge 2.0. This (as well as not having Qi) was a real bummer. ZeroLemon had previously sent me one of their Quick Charge 2.0 chargers, but it seems that it is now useless as you are actually charging the external battery, which in turn charges the phone.
-Single piece construction. The case itself feels solid, but I was hoping that it would be more like the one for the Nexus 5 that was 2-piece and had a plastic screen protector.
They really needed to include a belt clip with this case. It's that big. Because of the size and the buttons being so sensitive, I can't really carry the phone in my pants pocket. When I put it in the breast pocket of my shirt, half of the phone sticks out, and the thickness almost prevents it from sliding in at all. Not including some sort of belt clip was a very poor idea.
9/22:
So I've been using my ZeroLemon SlimPower case for about a week now.
More things of note:
-NFC does not function with this case on
-Full charge of the battery in the case gave me about 40% charge (went from 30% to 71%)
-Buttons are WAY too sensitive. Just from being in my pocket and walking around, My battery life has been terrible (screen keeps turning on and off)
-The case does not do a very good job of protecting the phone. The two times that my phone fell (once from the arm of the couch, the other from the coffee table), the case literally just popped right off. A case this large really needs to be 2-stage or have some way to hold the phone in better.
-My cullular signal also seems to be hindered with this case installed. Where I would normally have a little bit of service at my office, I have no connection with this case on. Immediately when the case comes off, I have service again.
-Have had the phone randomly restart on me 3 times since having this installed. Never had an issue with this before.
All of my initial impressions stayed with me the entire time using this case.
I can see times where having the extra battery could be useful, but honestly, you are better off getting an External battery for the same price as this case or likely even less. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this case.
keep a eye out for reboots, mine would reboot several times a day when i was using my case. i absolutely agree on the case needing a holster. its like having a vhs tape in your pocket, the over sensitive buttons was a big problem as well. i took mine off as im in meetings the rest of the week so its def overkill. got a 14 hour mountain motorcycle ride sunday though

Yeah I am going to give mine a week of testing and updating the review. Before deciding if I will continue using it or not.
I just ordered this. Excited for it to come in and see how it goes.
How's it so far ?

My brother just got it and seems the buttons on the vase are too sensitive. Expect your phone to turn on easily and if u hit power button it also hits the volume buttons at the same time

I've had mine a couple weeks. Haven't needed to use the battery too often but also haven't really been able to because it takes so long to charge both the phone and the battery I seldom manage to fully charge it. I hated how much it screwed with my ability to screenshot so I cut a strip out to expose my buttons lol. When I used AOSIP screenshot was built into the power menu but I'm on Chroma Marshmallow now. Good news is battery life is so solid now that I may not need the case after all. I'm looking at over 6 hours on screen with the ROM, Hells Kernel and Greenify and it hasn't even had the chance to optimize apps yet
zerolemon sent me a review unit that ive been using when needed for a week or so. its not something id use all of the time due to the size, but overall im very happy with it. it is a brick, but surprisingly comfortable to use in the hand and doesnt feel too bad in my pocket all things considered. it charges my phone while im still using it even though it doesnt support qc, so thats a big plus in my opinion. on days where i know i wont be near a power supply ive brought this with me and its much better than bringing an external battery pack imo. phone seems to slide down just a hair in the case as sometimes when i hit power it actually activates volume up, but thats not too often and easily fixed. i would definitely recommend if you need the extra juice.
I took a knife and cut out the buttons and now they are perfect. Unfortunately when I put this case on, it makes my tempered glass nillkin screen protector get some lift on the edges (which it never has when the case is not on). So I don't use it now. I have it for a backup case for trips to keep extra juice, but honestly with Android 6.0 the battery life is so much better now with doze, this case isn't really needed as much.
I tried this case and returned it to amazon. It is very poorly designed.
It's literally one giant piece of rubber. No way to secure it to your N6, so it falls out when tossed on the couch! What a horrid design flaw!
The battery also constantlyrubs against the back of my N6 and made a few scratch marks after only a few weeks of use! There is also a ton of space left in the back, ZL should have gone with a much higher capacity battery for a case that thick.
Hate this case, absolutely hate it. Coming form three past ZL cases, which were all great, this one feels incredibly rushed.
Broke down and bought this case..straight garbage will be returning mine .zerolemon should be ashamed to sell this product

So update after owning this case for a while. Seldom had the chance to fully charge my phone as well as the case. Wasn't really worth it, with Chroma Marshmallow I'm averaging 6 to 7 hours of SoT now so it was more of a waste not to be able to fast charge honestly. When i had the ZL case on my Nexus 5 it was way more worth it. At least I could pull out the plug and charge both batteries at the same time. Took the case off today, ripped the screen protector off my Supcase and put that back on.
So to sum it up, battery is too small, buttons are so bad I had to cut them out, and for someone who doesn't sleep 10 to 11 hours a day or sit at a desk all day with their phone plugged in, its pretty useless
I'm actually considering buying a Note 4 and slipping on a Zerolemon 10,000 case. Just need to figure out what the best ROMs are and if it would be worth it. I'm tired of seeing manufacturers phase out removable batteries
From the moment I saw that case, I knew it was gonna be rushed garbage. Pathetic move from ZeroLemon. But can't blame them as much as phone makers that make non removable batteries
Better get used to unibody phones and honestly when I can charge my phone as fast as this one charges, extended battery isn't necessary for daily use.... PS...greenify.

No thanks. I'll be switching to LG for removable batteries. Besides, quick charging or not, not everyone can easily access a charger. Especially in my case being overseas
I'm a little surprised by all the negative reviews. I've been using this case since it came out and it's been totally fine for me. Granted it's absolutely massive but serves it's purpose. My phone has never popped out of it and haven't had much by way of random reboots. It has definitely gotten me through some tight Jams but yes, as stated above the buttons are extremely sensitive.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
I think people just expected better from ZL based on past experience. I own the Note 2 and 3 batteries. They were excellent, well designed, made good use of space. This one looks rushed, and doesn't make good use of space, for a small increase in capacity. Well, small by ZL standards anyway. To be fair, they are somewhat limited by the design of the Nexus 6. The non-removable battery makes their standard methods impossible. That is unfortunate, I would absolutely buy a Note style battery from them. Having 20+ hours SOT available was exceptional. If they had supported quickcharge on this one, I probably would have still bought it.
At this point, I'm just hoping Sony makes a good device next year that is available from T-Mobile (Jump). With their open source support, if they keep removable batteries and SD, that would be a killer combo.
If you think this case is tolerable then you must not screenshot often
thanks
thanks
Ugliest thing I have ever seen. It is more of a punishment to use this case than a benefit.

Maxdara 4500 mAH Battery Case

Picked this up because at $27 it is significantly cheaper than the name brand versions that will or are already available for release. You can check it out HERE.
First, this case is 4500 mAH so that is a lot of juice. You can go a pretty long time without having to charge your phone. The case is matte and easy to pop the phone in and out. The led indicators on the back let you know how much power you have and the case is charged with a micro usb cable. The kickstand is also nice because when you're watching movies or youtube, it's pretty convenient to just lean it on a table. The case is also relatively slim...meaning it doesnt have size to the sides, or the top and bottom. It does however make it much thicker due to the large battery.
The negatives, the kickstand seems wobbly and could pop out easily. The case also does not fast charge, nor is it a charger that works in conjunction with your phone. What I mean is, you can't charge your phone by charging the battery pack. They charge separately from each other. In essence this is an external battery pack in a case form factor.
Again, at $27 I thought it was a fair cost considering the price of name brand alternatives, but the small quirks maybe enough to persuade others to use more well known brands.

I bought this too. I was streaming the Laker game from the Time Warner app and the charging couldn't keep up with the phone. Perhaps it would perform better if you aren't actually using the phone.

ZeroLemon Samsung Galaxy S7 7500mAh Battery Case (not for EDGE) quick review

Hi All,
I have been getting more from this forum than giving away so I decided to give away some insights into how I perceive the new Zerolemon arrival.
I purchased this case and I am not involved in reviewers program of any sort. I still have my galaxy s3 with zerolemon. Therefore, as soon as I got S7 I purchased zerolemon for it to keep me going.
I will keep it short and to the point:
1. General built quality I can't complain about. Thus in case of a drop I dare to say Zerolemon for S3 Rugged Case (the older version) seems to offer more protection. Don't take it for granted.
2. In terms of the size this case is massive although when you look and compare with the one for S3 it's just slightly thicker but considerably longer due to the built-in port at the bottom (well that is a downside of galaxy s7 with built in battery). The size of it in my opinion just just too big to carry in my jeans' pocket (see pics). I even think that I would sacrifice the capacity over functionality so the case is a bit slimmer.
3. Ports and covers. Here is the main difference in terms of quality. On S3 case everything fits perfectly and holds in place. On the contrary the S7 case has design flaw especially when it comes to the cover for charging port. Once charged the cover does not stay shut for a long period of time so it might be easy to tear it of after some time and it is annoying. The culprit in my opinion is too shallow hole in the case and too short rubber which was supposed to click in that hole (please correct me as I do not know the description of this little ending protruding from the flap itself). This could be sorted by using similar solution like with the headphone port flap in S3 case. Alternatively, I was thinking about getting some good glue and apply a thin layer on that little thing so it is made a bit longer and keeps the flap closed right after charging.
4. I did not have much time to test how much juice I will get as I decided to return this battery but with a deep regret as I got used to juice wherever I am. I will just wait for a revised version or get other brands like Trianium which I thing do not offer that much capacity but it is slimmer.
5. There is a LED indicator showing you how much battery charge is left in the case and the charging button must be hold longer to discharge which is good. This prevents accidental charges in you pocket.
If you have some questions till I have this battery until Monday 12 September let me know.
Here is also the video with the flap issue: https://youtu.be/nNJqAB_I7fQ
Might as well carry my charger rather than this tank case which would be painful even while making calls or browsing.

How dose the thickness compare to a Otterbox defender? I've had a zerolemon before on my note 2, now I'm thinking about getting one for my S7. I know they give dimensions online but I don't know how close they are to the actual size. Otterbox is .6 of a inch I believe I read somewhere and the zerolemon is .82. Thanks
