So I got the 3500mAh extended battery which came with the backplate to house the battery and noticed that the included backplate does not have the two contact points that the stock plate has. anyone know what those two contact points are for the nexus s?
They are the NFC chip contacts.
If you change cover, NFC will stop working.
ahhh ic ic - thanks, there's no use for NFC at the moment anyhow ^_^
Those are for NFC chip.
How long have you had the battery? And how is the quality of the back plate?

I can't review the battery itself yet, but I can say this for the cover: it fits as well as one might expect, and seems to be made out of fair (though certainly not great) quality plastic. It's a bit thinner than I'd like, but very lightweight.
I had to exchange my first one because the cover didn't snap onto one of the corners of the phone right. The second one was fine. It should fit well and snap securely in place; if it doesn't, exchange it; it's defective.

i've had the battery for about 3 days now. it lasts more than twice as long as the stock battery (which was unexpected).
daily use for me: gps, wifi and 3G are always on, i have popup SMS that wakes screen for 10sec - average of ~150x a day, overclocked at 1.3 (ondemand with a minimum of 10000), foto tile slideshow as live wallpaper (6xtiles) and automatic updating/refresh for various applications/widgets/mail every 30min to an hour (unless pushed). as for phone calls i barely receive or make one to two phone calls a day, those of which are usually under 3min. volume is always set on high and i have vibrate and audio notifications for twitter, facebook, sms, mail, calendar, alarms and a couple of other apps.
so my battery used to go from 8am (96% full charge) to 2pm (2%) - from 1:30-2:00 the screen stays on running a timer (ultrachron) for my lunch.
now with the extended battery it runs from 8am (96%) to 11pm (30%) without any charging, the last few days was the first times i've ever had the phone and had no worries about carrying a spare battery or finding a charger - granted i've only had the battery for a few days and performance is expected drop a little as time progresses but already the single extended battery already outperforms the two stock batteries combined with the added benefit of not having to swap batteries in the afternoon (although i guess that doesn't matter as much since sometimes i get a random reboot that requires me to take the battery out because it reboots with a negative display and loops).
as for the plate, i didnt know the plate was anything to even consider, it is a bit thinner than the stock plate, fits fine, all corners snapped into place fine for me. the plate has that rubbery finish, which i love, and adds some perceived value, the phone doesn't feel so "plastic-ee" or "cheap".
because i have rather large hands the thickness also adds some much wanted dimension to the phone that i've been really looking for since i came from a background of being accustom to an iPhone4 with a mophie juice pack.
considering that i live in colorado there is absolutely no use for the NFC here and i dont miss the functionality at all; the lost of that feature is a minor setback compared to the added battery life and dimension.

Thanks for sharing. Is there any way you could post some pics of the phone with the 3500 battery and cover so we can get an idea of how much thicker it is?

Dear lord. With slight tweaks to your setup you would see this type of battery life on the stock battery. Seems like you are wasting gobs of power.
I came from a Droid 2 with liberty rom, where I routinely get two days of battery life under heavy use (I sell phones so I'm on it all day) and I'm easily doing 12 hours of use with no tweaks on my nexus.

I also just got the extended battery and back cover. As the OP stated, you need to make sure you have a good fit with the new cover--it has a very nice feel, but mine does not fit quite as securely as the stock back.
As for use, on my second charge I went from 100 to 15 percent with the following use:
*wifi or 3g always on.
*syncing 3 email accounts every 30 min.
*9 hours of screen on (surfing, YouTube, playing around)
*1 hour of phone calls.
*4 hours of GPS tracking while walking around and using endomondo pro.
Battery meter showed usage at about 30% for screen, 25% endomondo, 12% voice calls, 12% gpsd and the rest with various apps, standby etc. (sorry, forgot to take a screenshot).
This was all over a 40 hour period and is more than my normal usage. I streamed a couple hours of YouTube just to try and deplete the battery. With my normal use, I suspect I will get 4 to 5 days or at least twice what I was getting on the stock battery.

yeah, i've used nscollab with no modifications, widgets, well basically with no bells or whistles and yeah my battery life was lasting over 24hrs but (for me) there wasn't enough functionality - i need full featured performance as i use the phone as everything else but making calls lol
everything i run is a necessity except my wallpaper and i definitely keep an eye on running apps through the native app manager but i cant seem to find much else to get rid of for better battery life, with the extended battery though i'm just kinda happy at where i am now =P
Thanks for the pics. I don't understand why seidio insists on making such ugly back covers. I hate to bother you with too many questions, but in your opinion does it make the phone feel too bulky in your hand or pocket? Also, where did you get your Android at? I want one!

i actually prefer the bulk added to the phone, makes it feel a little better in the hands. as for throwing it on my pocket, its not too bad but i thought the nexus s was too thin to begin with so i guess its just preference =P
as for my figure, i have a few of them from different places, amazon, google (direct) but the specific one u see in the pix are from http://www.androidstickers.com/
Thanks for your help. I appreciate you taking the time to answer.

Ive just seen this on Clove, and wondering if anyone has bought it yet?
Really i would like to know how big the bulge will really be, as there aren't any good photos on their site... LINK
Seems like a good price for the capacity!

That particular extended battery (from that manufacturer) is now available from many sites. I did some searching earlier today and there are some great pictures available (sorry...I don't remember where).
It looks nice, but like you I'll look forward to what people think after they get it and use it.
there arent any good photos of the bulge is due to the fact that the extended battery is really ugly. There's no decent view of it from any angle.
bought this a few days back. the back cover looks really awkward. the battery lasts full day with wifi and gprs on. after about 8-9 hrs the battery is exhausted and strangely when taken out of the mobile and reinserted, the battery meter shows me another 49 to 50 % left. so basically double life. but i havent checked it practically for two days without recharge

you have a point! I have just been looking at the HTC extended battery and i really like it but the price and not be able to use a case really puts me off...so i think you are right, maybe a spare or two standard batts are the answer
Just got mine in the mail.
I kind of had to push it on real hard. I think it clicked. It's got a rubber finish. Not bad but not perfect. Haven't used yet will report.
21$ USD received in about 2-3 days from purchase in the U.S. Pretty quick. I like that. Doesn't ship from Hong Kong. Or it didn't for me anyway.

Thanks for the post and the pictures. Will look forward to your thoughts after you've used it.
I bought the one from Clove a few weeks ago. The cover didn't fit too well. The space cut out for the volume bar prevented the cover from sitting onto the device properly. I cut out a bit of the corner then it fit.
Then I found the cover didn't "lock" well to the device. One side was OK while the other was just too loose (it didn't "click"). Just a slight touch/pressure would make the cover fall off. This was totally unacceptable.
I nevertheless still held on to it just to see how the battery perform. I fully charged it for 8 hours (overnight) but then I just felt (feeling only; no proper testing) that it was more than the original juice by half only, no where near the supposed-to-be-almost-double.
Being totally disappointed, I returned the cover + battery to Clove, who admitted that it was a manufacturing defect (I didn't really complain about the battery). New stock will however be only available end of the month.
While waiting for the new stock, Clove was kind enough to inform me that the original HTC extended battery (with stand) was available. So, I informed them that I would want to get the original HTC one instead.
Sales at Clove really sucked. They didn't even bother to read emails nor customer records or whatever and asking me to return my battery - what the heck. Like this, after a few rounds of email exchange (one email reply per day), the Sales finally seemed to understand the situation and advised me of an additional charge of 30 British Pounds ??????
The HTC extended battery is priced at 35 pounds while the one I returned is 15 pounds. So, apart from the VAT, etc., they obviously charge me at least 10 pounds for the shipment, again. Excuse me, that was supposed to be a replacement!!!
Like this, another few rounds of email exchange (that means a few days), i finally gave up and stick to waiting for the replacement.
Just some experience to share with those who are interested in this battery and buying from Clove.
as if the HD 2 isnt big enough allready. I just bought a spare normal battery which i will keep in the car or something.
Battery isn't really a problem anymore at least with my phone. Can have Wifi and bluetooth on all day listen to music ect. Make calls and browse and still on about 30-50% at 11pm when taken off charge at about 7am. If I turn things off and use it just a bit I can get 2-3 days out of it. Using Elegance Rom with 2.07 Radio
Here's my review:
http://htchd2.net/?p=70
I purchased the battery on Ebay here http://myworld.ebay.com/av-battery/. It arrived in about 2-3 business days. Pretty quick. Obviously not shipped from outside the U.S.
Where I live my HD2 is constantly struggling to hold a signal. It goes between 1-3 bars 3G most of the day. Mostly hanging around 1 bar and sometimes dropping signal altogether depending where I’m standing in my house. So with that said I’ve charged it fully and used it 2 full days. I mess with the HD2 most of the day surfing via wifi and 3G. Watch some videos and do a handful of calls a day. The battery does definitely offer more juice than the standard. I wouldn’t say double but maybe 70-75% more. So for me I get pretty much a full days use out of it. But I think it’s because my signal isn’t great where I live. If I lived where I had 4 bars constantly I’m thinking I’d get at least 2 days out of it.
It does have a good rubberized coating and the extra girth isn’t really a big deal. Actually the hump kind of fills a gap in my hand when I hold the device. In the pocket it does stick out more but not too bad. My cover didn’t fit on perfectly on my device also. It did click on both sides though. Some people are saying that one side isn’t clicking on. But mine did after I applied some pressure. Definitely not as quality as the original cover and it’s plastic not metal. Also the volume keys are almost flush with the cover making it hard to click the volume keys.
One benefit of this battery is when I lay the phone on it’s back the camera edge doesn’t scratch surfaces anymore. I think I can live with the hump on this device. I think I’ll keep this battery on. I’m curious about the official extended battery how/if it will perform better and I think I would like the kickstand. But for half or even less the price I’m OK with this solution for now.
SCORE: 8.0
I bought one of these off ebay also. Seems the same one as is available everywhere. Battery was ok but backplate was crap and would not clip in on one side. I complained and asked for a replacement, which they granted and then i changed my mind that I wanted a refund. They gave me my refund and didnt ask me to post it back Next thing they have sent me a replacement as well (although again backplate wont clip in properly)!!!! And in between i ordered the official one so ive got three now lol.
Anyways the official one is far far better. Backplate is metal and of perfect construction (as you might expect) and kick stand is nice and solid.
got this battery today. The back cover doesn't feet well, one side doesn't lock.

Hello,
I bought this 2400mAh battery a month ago, but it has the same problem. The capacity of the battery is as described, but the battery indicator shows wrong percentage. It means that, when the indicator shows 0% and automatically turn the phone off, the battery still have about 50% of the power inside. I have to remove the battery out of the phone and install again, then it shows the 50% left.
Anybody know how to install it in a correct way (without this problem).
Thank you very much!
Ok, I bought the same battery off thEbay and the cover didn't fit well either. So I got out my pocket knife and shaved away very thinly on the cover where it has the cutout for the volume buttons, and also at the bottom of that edge till it fit and clicked in place. The most I had to cut away was at the top and bottom of the buttons, and in the radius. I think I trimmed a very tiny bit off the top of the cover too. It's very soft plastic so go slow like you are shaving it. Fits like a champ now with very noticeable increase in power.
I have my stock 1300mah and bought the 1750mah which I am far less thrilled with than others (it is longer, but not much). I note some people like the idea of having multiple batteries, but my view of the Incredible cover, and the tiny hooks that keep it in place, is that one is better off not opening and closing it too much. Am I incorrect here?

I would tend to agree with you, I used to change batteries quite often on my Touch Pro 2 but after the tabs broke off the second cover I stopped unless absolutely neccessary.

I also got the Seido 1750 battery but it was a big improvement for me... i used to have to charge my phone every night and it would be dead by the end of the day from like a 9am to 10pm spread.. now with the seido one it goes a day and a half before dying

You and I are running VERY different apps, I guess. Mine is in my pocket the whole day, albeit in a very old steel and concrete building. I suspect battery drain has a lot to do with signal, anyway.
I am running BatteryTime Lite, which I know is a bad idea; and I do pull email and weather every hour or so; but I could never do a day and a half.

My experience with the Seidio is about the same as yours.
I used my Touch Pro 2 battery for a few days and definately an improvement. I just didn't like the way it fit in the incredible so I ordered the one that's made for the phone (haven't got it yet).

I can get about a day and a half out of mine with the stock battery in it. That's with light to moderate useage, 4 or 5 calls a day, 3 or 4 texts and about a dozen emails (plus I probably just play with it for at least an hour or so). I have it set to download weather and email every hour. I don't know if it makes a difference but I turn of Bluetooth unless I am using it and I only use the wifi when in my office with a good connection.
Update - Seidio 175 mAh Battery
OK, I received my Seidio battery and have only ran 2 charges through it but here is my experience so far...
With my normal usage I get approximately 1 1/2 days from the stock battery and it is DEAD.
I have the Seidio battery in now and I took it off the charger yesterday morning, it is now 11:00am here and my battery is at 66%.
I don't know about you but in my eyes that is a major improvement!
A note on the Seidio battery:
It is not the same battery as their Touch Pro 2 battery, it fits better. I used the touch Pro 2 battery in it for a day or 2 but regardless of what everybody is saying, the Touch Pro 2 battery doesn't fit right in my books.
Sure, it fits in the phone and you can put the battery door on it just fine but it is tight.
When you really notice it is taking the cover off with the Touch Pro 2 battery in the Incredible. It is hard to get the cover off. Maybe it's just me but I would rather spend the extra money on the right battery than have to replace the cover because the very fragile little tabs that hold it on have broken off from being over stressed.
Just my 2 cents worth, I'm sure the results will vary with other users.
I currently work out of my home and have a good strong wifi connection, the above test is with wifi on for the entire time, and Bluetooth off when not in use (not really sure if that matters yet). I only use bluetooth when I go some where in my truck so I had it on for about an hour yesterday.
The 2150mah is a wonderful wonderful battery. I am glad to own it, and for really heavy users, or those will be out and about all day, it is definitely a great investment ... so long as you are ok not having a case.
But I started to think about it and realized, having 68% left at the end of the day is wonderful, but do I *need* 68% at the end of the day just so that I can risk damage to the phone? I don't think so.
With the low-effort battery charging trick (charge with power-on, when green, select power off, and wait for green again; NO NEED TO UNPLUG), the 1750mah provides a full day of usage, but will fit in a case.
Anyway, while YMMV, I think the bragging rights on battery power do not outweigh the risks of damage.
My 2 cents.
FWIW, you could do this and still have a case protecting most of the phone.

Well ... I did a proper charge this morning, and played with Nav, maps, a few games of freecell, emailing, 1 phone call, and am still at 74% with my 1750. I think the 1750 with proper charging is the sweet spot.
Will the Innocase fit over the phone with a 2150 if you have the battery cover off?
For what it's worth, I bought the 2150 and, following the advice I received from another xda thread, just cut the back panel out of a soft case. Though much of the new expanded battery back is exposed, the camera lense is actually much more protected than before. And, of course, the screen is now protected from dropping. As a bonus, the phone looks nicer and the obnoxious bulge is considerably less noticeable.

I did the exact same thing. If you take your time and pay attention to detail the end result is very nice.
I did the hard case and cut it. 17 hours of use and still has half of the charge.

Any of u guys have pics of ur modded case? I was about to return the battery and order the 1750 but I may keep it now

The 2150mah is a wonderful wonderful battery. I am glad to own it, and for really heavy users, or those will be out and about all day, it is definitely a great investment ... so long as you are ok not having a case.
But I started to think about it and realized, having 68% left at the end of the day is wonderful, but do I *need* 68% at the end of the day just so that I can risk damage to the phone? I don't think so.
With the low-effort battery charging trick (charge with power-on, when green, select power off, and wait for green again; NO NEED TO UNPLUG), the 1750mah provides a full day of usage, but will fit in a case.
Anyway, while YMMV, I think the bragging rights on battery power do not outweigh the risks of damage.
My 2 cents.

Thank you for your 2 cents, it has earned interest.
I was considering which battery to get since the stock 1300 seems to last ALLLLLMOST the whole day for me with heavy usage and having it plugged into USB at intervals when I am at my desk. I need something to last all day or nearly so without plugging in at all. I prefer to stick with something that fits in the stock case so I'll go for the 1750.
Thanks for sharing!

I guess that I am a moron. I don't get what the low-effort battery charging trick does. What do you mean by no need to unplug? I understand the steps, but don't you need to unplug it when you go somewhere?
I just bought the 2150 the other day and I did everything I could think of yesterday to completely kill it. I had it off the charger all day at work (I usually keep it plugged it at work), I played slacker for about 4 hours a few of which were in my car and didnt use my car charger (I always have my phone plugged in when driving), played about an hour of "traffic jam", sent numerous texts, talked over bluetooth, had GPS on all day, and lastly used SportyPal for an hour when I put in my bike miles. After all that and 15 hours later I was finally in the yellow. With that said I do love the extra juice I get from the battery but I dont think I need it over the 1750. I am going to order the 1750 and see how that holds up. If I like it I will return my 2150.
Anybody have a good and semi cheap case idea for extended batteries? Or pouch
I received my ZeroLemon battery case for my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge today, and this is my review.
I will be breaking up this review into 3 parts, initial hands on, first 24 hours, and after 1 week.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Initial hands on:
The case itself is split into 3 parts. The main piece is the battery. The battery itself could be used as a standalone battery backup, similar to those found on many websites. It is then connected to the phone via a micro USB U shaped connector. Both the battery and the phone are then placed in the outer casing which has the cutouts for the LED indicators that are built into the battery itself. You are able to press the power button to see (with 4 LED lights) what the current charge on the external battery pack is at. Holding down this power button turns on and off the charger itself. The cutouts for the IR blaster and noise canceling mic are pretty spot on for position. They both seemed pretty centered. The power button and volume keys have a nice tactile press to them, making them easy to use. I like the fact that the bottom of the case has the speaker grills coming out the front of the device. I found it very hard to try and muffle the sound this way. No longer will my hand placement mute my media. The case also comes with a headphone jack adapter, due to the fact that the port is pretty far buried in the case. So far my only gripe is that on the edges of the case, it doesn't seem as snug as the top and bottom is. There is distinctive bowing of the center. That could, however, be due to the fact that I have a skin on the back of the device, making it just slightly thicker than the original version would be. I won't be able to verify this, as I am not going to try to remove the skin. The case has a good heft to it. It's not too heavy, but it does give a more distinguishable weight to the phone. The way the case curves around the backside really just makes the whole thing fit comfortably in my hand. Also, even with the added bulk, the case still fits comfortably in my pocket. I have tested, and NFC no longer works, which is to be expected at this thickness. My biggest downside with the case is that I cannot connect it to my computer to transfer files without first taking it back out of the case.
After using the case for 24 hours I've come across things I both like and dislike. My phone is currently at a full charge after being off the charger since 9am. My zerolemon case is at half capacity, meaning I should be able to get another full day's use before the case is completely empty and I'm relying on the phone's battery alone. I would say that I have used the device a moderate amount, which is leading me to believe I could get an impressive full 3 day's use before charging again. I have found that while the speaker is protected from being covered by having the media come out of the front, it is now slightly tinny in sound. It isn't horrible, but it's definitely noticeable. I have also found that there are slight defects sound where the case meets the camera, looking like slight nics out of the material.
So I've had the case for 7 days now. I find it especially useful on slow days at work when I'm constantly on my phone. I still haven't dropped the phone, so I don't know how well the case actually stands up to damage. I did have one night where I didn't keep the phone on the charger all night, so the case itself wasn't actually charged. It would be nice if the input charger was higher than the output charge, so the case would charge at the same time as the phone instead of after. This case definitely came in handy when my family went to my grandmother's 90th birthday party an hour away. I was able to watch shows on the way there, as well as take lots of pictures and videos during the party, and still have plenty of battery life for the ride home. Between the bulk and the lack of NFC and wireless charging though, I don't see myself using the case every day. I see myself using this case only during trips and long slow days at work.
It's not the skin. The case doesn't fit snugly around the sides. And at least in my case, it eventually started messing with the screen protector, which is a bit annoying. Between changing ROMs and Kernels I'm able to get a whole day's worth of battery and if I have heavier usage than usual I just find it better to be able to use QiCharging. I used to love my ZeroLemon battery for the Note 3, if they make one similar for the S6 Edge I'll gladly buy it, but as it stands, I don't find it worth losing features over.
I just bought this along with another brand battery case from Amazon today, and they should be here tonight. I'll be curious to see how mine is. I've always been a Mophie guy with my iPhones.
I've received my two cases. This ZeroLemon one, and a Wekin one with a stand. They both fit very well, though I feel the ZeroLemon design to be over complicated, and I have a general distaste for TPU cases. The Wekin one is considerably slimmer. I'll add some more info once I've tested the actual batteries.
One issue I have, that may actually spur me to return this case, is the fact that it doesn't stay charging once the battery in the phone is full. I prefer to follow Mophie's way and use the battery in the pack first when I do use a battery case, which is not every day.
Here goes my review on the case:
Build/Quality - 8/10
Practicality - 9/10
Price - 10/10
Battery Life - 9/10
Build/Quality
At first glance, this case is very generic looking and has no character to it at all. That being said, you slowly start unraveling the fact that there was intricate time put into the attempt of this concept. The case is made of a TPU like material that is rigid, yet flexible. It fits snugly around the phone and hugs the curves to a fault. I'll explain why I say that later. The overall feel in hand is very solid. For someone with big hands and for the type of phone this is, edge variant, there is something to be said about how ergonomic this case makes the S6 edge. Now when I say it hugs to a fault, as you can see in the picture it is a tight fit and lifted my screen protector. I consider myself somewhat of a self proclaimed expert in this realm and could not get it on without disturbing the Liquid IQ Shield screen protector. This is why I dinged it a bit. It isn't as screen protector friendly as I'd hoped. That is probably the biggest downfall. The biggest positive is that the LED indicator lights for the battery pack are extremely useful. I love them and think they make this case/battery pack awesome.
Final Score - 8/10
Practicality
How practical is it to add this kind of bulk to the case and does it make a difference? I found that the case was a great concept, yet it's more brilliant upon closer inspection. What I mean by that is that you may or may not think its worth it, but I'll tell you why I believe it is.
Use cases: Long road trips, traveling (flights), long days at work, forget your charger, appointments (doctors/dentist visits usually consume more battery, crushing those CANDIES!), and other scenarios.
This case offers the protection of a case like an Otterbox or a Life Proof case, but adds the functionality of a Morphie case. However, that's not all it can do. upon closer inspection, you can see that this is a 2 in 1 bundle. Sure you can utilize this as part of the case and carry it on the phone. But this is also a battery pack. Because of this you could essentially charge this battery pack and carry it with you. It's so small it becomes a secondary function of the case. So you are really purchasing 2 items for the price of one. That makes this highly practical because for people that do not want the extra bulk, they have purchased a 2 for 1 and can use it without the case on a day to day basis and drop it in the case when they are on the go.
Final Score - 10/10
Price
That leads me into the price discussion. Is the price worth it? YES! Simply put, yes. An Otterbox case is about $30 - $60, a battery pack is around $20, an extra charger is about $15. If you think about these general figures. The cost of this case for a hybrid battery pack and case is a steal. You are getting a good value for the money (Currently $29.99). I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this at the price point they set.
Final Score - 10/10
Battery Life
Now comes, arguably, the most important part of the review. Does it give you enough juice? I say yes and no. I say yes because any juice is adequate extra juice. I say no because as a power user I always want more. But I think I landed on the fact that this is a stellar case to have for the power it does grant. I was able to extend the phone by half to 1 full day on heavy use. This means that I would be able to give myself an extra charge to give me more power use and finish off the day. On light usage days I could feel comfortable not charging the phone and still getting to the end of the next day. Power use to me entails: emails, app use, web surfing, etc.
I would say that this about doubled my screen on time of 3 - 4 hours to about 6 - 8 hours and increased my general use time from 10 - 14 hours to 20 - 28 hours (excluding stand by time that happens while sleeping, not using at all).
Final Score - 8/10
Conclusion:
I would not hessitate to pick this case up. If you are going on camping trips, if you are going to be away from an outlet, if you are just going to be at the office for a long day or even if you are going to be on business trips or road trips, this case provides ample use cases. That combined with the fact that it can double as a battery pack, makes the cost entirely worth it. I think Zero Lemon could make small improvements to this case by including the option to obtain 2 battery packs instead of one. They could also stand to improve the textures and feel of the case that they include with the battery. Even color variety and customization could liven up the product line. But the fact still remains that it is a solid product and I think it's worth buying.
OVERALL SCORE - 9/10
only think i dont like is it messes my screen protecter up cus it fits so tight

Yeah, that's definitely a problem. Another thing that has to be considered is that the bottom of the case sits fairly close to the home button so it would make sense to add a fingerprint profile with the case on to ensure it works with both case off and on.
Zerolemon Case Review
Dislcosure: I received my Zerolemon Case for free in return for posting this review.
So I have had this case for about a month now and a few things really stuck out to me and were the determining factors on whether or not I will be using this as my everyday case.
Packaging/Design - Overall I think the packaging and design are great. The product was well packaged/protected and the case itself is a very nice fit with maybe two minimal flaws. For the way the battery has to be connected and positioned I think the case does a great job of being snug enough to keep the battery in place and protect the phone. I didn't notice any "shifting" of the phone while it was in the case as was a problem with previous/similar Zerolemon cases on my previous phones. That being the case, I did notice after the first time I installed the case that it was so snug it pulled up the screen protector (skin) at the bottom corners of the phone. Luckily with the skin I installed I was able to just press it back down and no harm was done. On future installs I was able to develop a method to putting the case on where it didn't pull up the bottom portion of the screen protector anymore basically eliminating this issue. The other issue though with the case, that has been mentioned in other reviews is that the sides of the case aren't quite as snug as the rest of it and actually bow down and slightly away from the side thus not being quite as snug on the sides as well as causing a bit of a weird "gap push" when trying to press the power or volume buttons. For me it required a little bit more pressure to actually press the buttons which I guess to some can be a positive as it helps avoid accidentally pressing them while in hand or in your pocket.
Functionality - So when I first got the case I was actually headed down to the 24 Hour Disney Day at Walt Disney World. It was perfect timing because this would be a great way to test the performance of the battery and its practicality. By the time we got to the event at 9pm on Friday my phone was at 100% and the case was had 3 of 4 lights lit indicating it was somewhere around 75% capacity (Note: it had not had a full charge/cycle yet, it was right out of the box). By the time we left the park at 7am Saturday morning my phone was at 23% and the case had 1 of 4 lights lit. I was definitely using my phone heavily throughout the event taking tons of photos and video and checking social media mentions of the event. There was however one issue that I haven't been able to replicate but only experienced while the phone was in the case. There was a good bit of time where I couldn't access the phone's video camera because I was getting an "overheating" warning which would grey out the video camera until the phone cooled down to whatever the acceptable temperature is. That was a bit annoying because of course it happened right when I was wanting to take some video of the event. Other times I have used the case I haven't had this issue and overall it has performed as advertised. However, it has it's drawbacks even when performing as advertised. First of which is the loss of NFC. I have actually been able to use Google Wallet fairly regularly around town as many of the merchants that I shop at accept it and it is quite convenient. To all of the sudden not be able to use it seems like a step backwards. The other drawback is the charging rates, both input and output. I mean, HOLY COW, did it seem to take forever just to charge a 3500mAh battery and the phone versus just charging the phone and my external "myCharge" 6000mAh battery. Not to mention it's charging rate back to the phone was around 1-1.5A whereas the myCharge is around 1.8-2.4A. I tend to lean more towards the myCharge because it charges my phone faster and I don't have to be tethered to it or carry the extra bulk with my phone when I don' t necessarily need it.
Conclusion - Overall the case/battery performed as advertised and for the price ($29.99) it is actually a really good deal considering you get a battery and a case. Unfortunately, with the advancements of fast charging and fancier/larger external batteries that can allow you to charge multiple devices at once I see this kind of battery eventually falling by the wayside especially given the loss of certain functions as I and others have mentioned. Would I recommend this case to someone, honestly.....probably not. I would probably recommend an external battery charger with a higher capacity and multiple ports for charging multiple devices that would probably cost $20-$30 more but with a lot more to offer. Suffice it to say, I will most likely not be using the case again.
I received my case yesterday and I have to say I kinda like it like this , yes yes I know takes away the premium build etc but a premium build is useless if the phone is out of charge . It's not as bulky as I thought it would be .
The weight makes the phone feel like its secure in your hand versus the really light slippery feel an S6 has .
Doesn't take long to charge and I can also use this pack to charge other devices . I havent tried wireless charging yet .
All in all for the price , its a boss deal
I'll give it a 10/10
GALAXY S6
First, I’d like to thank MPJ for sending this 6000mAh battery for testing and this is an unbiased review. I usually don’t like to test batteries because I always carry my extra original battery and QC 2.0 Power bank with me. I have my G4 on May 28th 2015. One week before the G4 was selling in USA. The G4 was given to by LG USA Mobile for the G4 Trial Program. After a couple of weeks I have brought a battery on Ebay for about $7 shipped from China. This is the first battery I can find but its a fake battery that wouldn’t hold charge and drain like crazy.
This MJP battery will give a MASSIVE boost to your phone's life. Makes the phone a lot more beefy and a bit more heavy, but if you are a heavy user it is way more than worth it to try. The case/battery is flatter than the standard back of the G4 which makes it sit steady on table tops which I liked.
The charging speed is about the same as the original battery but 2 X more because its 6000mAh. The charging temperature is around 23 degree C which is quite cool. I had even tested to see the battery will hold charges.I fully charged the battery and left it unused for 3 days. Then put it on G4 and its still at 100%.
Pros:
- Ridiculous battery life boost, like an insane jump over standard G4.
- New case is steady on tables and will not scratches the camera lens.
Cons:
- Bulkier/beefier phone, heavy users like myself will find this way outweighed by the battery life gains.
- No NFC and wireless charging.

Somehow we always end up testing the same products.
I have one of these also and am currently on day 2 of the first charge.
I will have a review to post up here in about 2 more days with my opinions of this product.
So far it is looking good for me.
oh boy how ugly ...
is there any 4000mAh or 4500mAh battery ???
because 6000 or 8500 are good in term of battery life but are making the phone look really UGLY

+1 this!
This is why I just bought some Quick Charge chargers... with all my other phones I ALWAYS ended up getting an extended battery, but with the quick charge on this phone, I'm fine! Got 2 quick charging chargers at home, and one in the car. Just throw it on when I'm not using it. This phone charges SO FAST on these chargers that I don't even plug it in at night because it will be on the charger for 7+ hours longer than it should be.

Completely agreed. Anyone with even a modicum of a fashion sense will absolutely stay right the hell away from this.
But hey, it's called a "Business battery" for a reason!
Just keep that sh*t hidden in meetings and you're good to go
MPJ was kind enough to allow me to test out their new 6000mAh Li-ion High Capacity Extended Battery For LG G4.
I have had this battery for about a week now and have been using it every day.
I consistently am able to get two days of use out of it with everything syncing normally and brightness set at 75%.
I went three days one time and had to charge it when I got home from work, so I would say the max I was able to get from this battery was two and a half days.
Charging time for me was about double the time it takes to charge the standard battery, which makes sense as it is double the capacity.
I did however find that my Quickcharge 2.0 charger did seem to charge it slightly faster, but this battery does not claim to be Quickcharge compatible so it may just be that my Quickcharge charger is just a better charger.
I had no issues with heat while charging this battery. It actually seemed to be cooler while charging than the stock battery.
I did find that in my daily use of this battery and case I found it much more enjoyable to use the phone while on a flat surface due to the flatter back of the case.
It removed the normal rocking this phone comes with when set on it's back.
The extended portion also prevents the camera lens from touching any surface when setting the phone down, preventing scratches.
There is some added bulk to this case and that was to be expected as it is double capacity from the standard 3000mAh stock battery.
I however did not notice it in hand much at all due to the well rounded edges of the back cover.
It actually fits rather nicely in hand and was comfortable to use.
The ports on the back cover all line up perfectly. The opening for the volume and power buttons fit so perfect that you would think LG them-self designed this back.
The opening for the speaker is sectioned off so you get better sound coming directly from the speaker through the opening with no distortion from going through the rest of the case.
This is one little thing that sets this case above the others like it.
The only problems I can find with this case is the lack of NFC and the smooth texture of the back they sent me.
They do however sell a textured back cover for this battery for $9.99.
Finally the price of this is perfect at $29.99 with free Prime shipping on amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/Extended-Batt...821189&sr=8-7&keywords=lg+g4+extended+battery
Pros:
Double capacity battery = double usage!
Comfortable back in hand
No rocking of the device when on it's back
Good charging time
Well made case
Price
Cons:
No NFC (seriously, this could be a deal breaker if you need it, there is no way to add it without some serious modifications)
If you can live without NFC (I can) and you need either more charge in your phone for day-to-day use or just want to make your phone last for more than one day on a charge, I would recommend you purchase this extended battery and back plate.
I would give this 5/5 stars
I will include some pictures so you can see for yourself what this battery is like.
Sorry about the lower quality pictures, I had to use a backup phone to take pictures as my G4 was in them
I will try to answer any questions you may have about this item.
I received this at a discount in exchange for an honest review, this does not change my opinion of the battery in any way.
If this review has helped you at all, please click thanks below to let me know.

Where can I order a more textured back door for the extended battery? The back door in the pictures looks do glossy and flimsy. Someone mentioned one may be available for $9.99?

Just click the back you want from the options.
Im getting 5+ hours screen on time from the stock battery, so 5 hours with 40% left means this is closer to a 4500mah battery labeled at 6000mah. Dirty. Can you confirm your screen on time barely reached 7.5 hours screen on time, and not 10hours?
A 50% boost is not worth making my phone 700% uglier

Each person's screen on time will vary.
You can not compare mine vs yours. (or anyone else)
One person may have an extreme battery saving setup that gives 12 hours screen on time from stock.
While another person could be running always 100% brightness with tons of background apps running always and using tons of battery and only get 2 hours screen on time.
As for your claim about capacity, you should not assume things with no proof.
I have the battery and did a review on it.
It is definitely 6000mAh.
I have a USB voltage detector and it shows you current charge rate and total charge.
It showed me between 5800mAh and 6100mAh every time I charged mine.
Here is a picture of the one that I have so you know what I am talking about.
Nice Review
you review is really nice. But are you sure that this extended battery will to disturb the terminal of board? I am sorry I am little bit confused.

Yes, I am also a bit curious about that.
Looks great ! But to much big .. Will be really great to see a 4000mah or 4500mah with cover a little bit bigger but not like this one
Just bought my G4 there is 3 days and for the moment really good ! :fingers-crossed:

Each person's screen on time will vary.
You can not compare mine vs yours. (or anyone else)
One person may have an extreme battery saving setup that gives 12 hours screen on time from stock.
While another person could be running always 100% brightness with tons of background apps running always and using tons of battery and only get 2 hours screen on time.
As for your claim about capacity, you should not assume things with no proof.
I have the battery and did a review on it.
It is definitely 6000mAh.

Easy killer. I clearly asked "if" that's what they do - and yes i used my own screen on time of 5 hours as estimate, but only because the last 3 in a row non-MPJ ebay batteries purchased ended up being totally bogus. Literally half capacity.
As it turns out - YOU WERE RIGHT, i bought a pair of 3000mah MPJ replacments for the stock battery, and while the battery discharge graph is very strange and shows charging-sloped-inclines during sleep (5%-10% spikes of battery remaining) you absolutely do get every advertised mah. They last as long as the stock battery.
Thanks for the recommendation
I will just stick to quick charge and 2 batteries. I spend a lot of time on the slopes so I would rather swap batteries then have bulk in my pocket
But by this way you are adding a lot of pressure on your phone charging Circuit and maybe your are shorting its age!

What pressure are you talking about?
As long as no current and voltage limits are exceeded, no problem .

I'm talking about the longer charging time.. 2 times more
