Love my 2150 but went back to 1750

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.

yah i like extended batteries but i dont want to sacrifice the case

Welp
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.

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

Instead of charging case, I use this:

I think it is more stable than charging case (switching from charge status and in use status would cause damage to my battery) :laugh::laugh:
Ordered one but still waiting for it to arrive. I may report how it looks and use later~~~~~

im sorry ur crazy...that makes this beautiful phone look like a brick...im still watching for the case to be available on ATT...

Anyone ever get the case if so how is it working out 4 u?

I tried it out and it's a piece of ****. Got my money back the next day. Does not close well the actual battery is on the top that flips on the phone screen and part of the battery hits the screen every time you close it I just knew the it would fu÷× up my screen sooner or later. Don't waste your money.

i have the said charging case, and the front flap thing does suck, so i simply cut it off...
the case has a 4000mah battery in it( so they claim)
what iv found. my phone lasts 24-27 hours with the stock battery.
with the case fully charged and pre cycled,
i get 48-52 total hours of phone on time.
it does work
things to note,
the button to turn the device on, is very touchy and can turn it self on while in your pocket (or off)
the case is big bulky and silly looking
the usb at the bottom where the phone plugs into is not the best nor sturdiest
for 15 shipped, ill take it

thats the one i got. i received it a few days ago. as i said, it works brilliantly, but its on the big side. and the front flap thing sucks so much i just had to cut it off. the button i speak of is on the back, its a light press to activate and its quite easy to press

I have it. It works really well for what it is.
I use it when I'm going to be in meetings taking notes all day. It's not my day to day case but it's great for those days when you're away from outlets and will be using the phone heavily. Although it does add some girth, its really not that bad....especially compared with the alternative being a notebook or full sized tablet.
That being said, I wouldn't pay the asking price ($100 is way too much).

example - last night, my cat thought it would be great if she unplugged my note2 from the charger. I woke with 13% left on the battery. i put my case on and walked out the door for work at 630 am. its now 720am and im at 41% and climbing. (whilst connected to my Bluetooth watch and running Pandora). By 9am i should be 90% or higher and can leave the case in the car for the rest of the day or throw it on the charger to use later tonight or when ever i should need it.

The case battery is horrible. No way this gives 80% more and it heats the phone up a lot. was told by mophie that I should use case when phone is not in use. I dislike the fact that it is slippery. they need to step up the game.

I'm not sure about your math. The mophie has a 3450 mAh battery, so that would be a full 3450 MORE than the internal battery. Since it is an external battery and all.
Also, I have had zero issues with my Mophie. No heating issues or signal issues. FWIW.

D'oh, I was thinking it replaced the stock battery. That makes a lot more sense now.

Why would you waste your money on this piece of crap? Maybe for the s6 or iPhone. But we have removeable batteries that's the whole point. You could've easily got 2 maybe even 3 batteries for the price of that case.
1. Not wait for a charge
2. Not causing additional heat
3. Keep it slim.

Why would you post such a crappy post without actually trying the product? First off, extra batteries are nice and all but you actually have to turn the phone off to replace the battery, that's a waste of time. Secondly, how would you know it causes additional heat? Mine doesn't and I use it everyday. And guess what? I can charge the phone and the battery pack with one cable, all at the same time.
To each his own, so maybe you should bite your tounge and not post such blatantly blasphemous posts and let others form their own opinions.

My second case going back for a refund. rather have a good quality case and battery in pocket then a slippery phone that one day would end up breaking.
BAD ASS NOTE 4 & LG G4

To my surprise, I have not had heat issues with the g4 with or without the Mophie case, even when doing more than on my G2, which did have overheating issues. I agree that the Mophie should have more texture for a better grip on this case.

Proper comparison cost wise is an extra battery and a case since Mophie supplies both. I did find the case very easy to remove, although I would always keep it on. I do like the sound being redirected to the front.
I measured signal because many wireless charger backs have been shown to dramatically affect performance. In the FCC documents, most manufacturers are no longer releasing their antenna diagrams. If you have signal issues with the Mophie juice pack case, hold it vertical.
I have found that a 2.4 car charger is not enough for the LG G4 (I swapped charges and USB cable as well), nor can the Mophie case make up that power difference. However this excessive power situation was resolved by reducing the number of active apps by one and rebooting to kill a runaway Google service.
I did consider extended batteries, but then you must go caseless to the best of my knowledge.
With the replacement batteries you must also remember to carry them and you risk breaking the back cover with repeated use.
It really depends on how often you need extra battery power as to whether the Mophie case is worth it, plus the caveats and benefits listed above by all.

Agreed with other guy.
Battery case is not optimal. Basically this battery is charging the OEM internal battery.... constantly.... which will end up killing your OEM battery.
The best solution would be to remove the OEM battery and replace it with a 6000mAh battery/custom backplate that snaps on.
Hence why these are causing the phones to heat up.

Except you're wrong. This case has a switch which the user controls. The switch dictates whether the case is charging the phone or not. So when you don't need it, its not charging, and thus not heating up the phone.
Again, if you actually have used the case before you would know this.

I just picked up this case yesterday and I really like it. Although the material is a tad slippery, the finish is a bit softer than normal plastic covers so it does feel pretty nice in my hand. Super bulky but I did come from a Nexus 6 so I don't mind and the reroute on the speakers to the front is pretty cool too as that was something I missed from my Nexus.

Really? Sliding a switch is more of a hassle than powering off your phone, replacing the battery and waiting for it to boot back up? Your definition of hassle is WAY different than mine.
I only have to do this once a day, when my battery gets down to around 30%, and it charges it up all the way and has about 40% left on the external battery itself.
Again I say, how do you know it is a hassle if you haven't actually tried it?

This juice pack case is for travel use mostly. Hiking or cruising low signal is the one that drain the battery the most.
People who complain this is an impractical item without owning don't really understand who needs it. Sure you can swap batteries since this device has removable back to replace batteries. But what if you are on important phone call? Or got lost somewhere where you can't really stop the vehicle but battery is going low and don't have the time to stop/shutdown/replace battery/ turn on/ open apps? What if you are in time constrain situation (emergencies) that you must keep your phone alive? This juice pack can offer that quick and simple just by switching on.
Sure external battery does it exactly the same with far less price, but the convenience make up for the price. I cant really justify with the $99 but a case that with built in battery? Some might think it's a good price.
Sorry for the long post.

How do you know a broken leg gives you a hard time walking, if you never had it broken? The answer - common sense. In other words, your arguments aren't really that.
This case is useless for everyday use, compared to an extra battery. Instead of using a slick phone with a nice size/screen size ratio, it turns it into an awkward brick. Ok I understand using it occasionally while traveling, like an external battery if you don't wanna take your back off...
Still don't get it though why they make these for phones with removable batteries..

always on. if you don't need that then this isn't the right product.

Just picked up one of these from the AT&T store because they had cleared them out for $10.
Anyway, it seems good so far, and the textured rubber/plastic material seems like a good grip.
Also this battery pack is great for me, because I play this game called Ingress and when you are with groups you quickly walk from one GPS location to the next, and you are constantly needing to take actions on the phone, so you don't have any opportunity to actually shut down your phone for a battery swap. I think external battery augmentation, like this mophie provides, is perfect for playing Ingress on walk-about missions with groups.
And as Spongers so valiantly tried to point out above, yes there is a nice easy to use switch that lets you keep the battery pack off while you use the phone's internal battery, and then easily just flick the switch to turn on the mophie to recharge your phone. Mophie even helpfully points out in the instructions that this technique optimizes overall battery life between the mophie and the phone, because you spend only half the time recharging (total time split between draining only the phone's battery with mophie off, then draining the mophie after turning it on after phone's battery is low), instead of the entire time (where you would keep the mophie turned on all the time, generate more recharging phone heat/waste during the entire drains of both batteries).
Anyway, yeah I like it. Check if your local AT&T stores have any in stock, because it's a steal at $10. My store only had one left, or I would have bought all of them.

Galaxy S7 edge Wireless Charging Battery Pack Case

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EP-TG935BSUGUS
Anyone ordering this? a combined 7000 mAh sounds amazing... The specs say it will charge the s7 edge 1/2 way so it's like having an s7 edge with 5400 mah instead of the 3600mah.
Too bad the battery case doesn't charge wirelessly also. That'd be cool.
I searched the model # and found a few sites selling for under retail, but the sites authenticity seems sketchy.
For example,
$66 here http://www.compsource.com/pn/EPTG93...harging-Pk-Black-Eptg935bbugus-Eptg935bbugus/
or
$72 here http://www.pcconnection.com/product/samsung-pk-wrls-charging-blk-pwr/ep-tg935bbugus/31604712

No. too big for me.
Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I'm going to live with the 3600mAh battery in the phone for a while and see how it goes, but I had been using the Mophie case for my S6 edge and grown used to the extra bulk. It's not bad once you get used to it and the phone seems tiny and fragile when you take it out, but I never had to worry about battery life with it.
But, if I do look for a battery case, I will definitely look at the Mophie over this for a couple of reasons:
- Mophie charges wirelessly so I can just drop it on a pad at night (or wherever)
- Mophie has a chin - I hate how easy it is to hit the back button when picking up the phone
- Mophie delivers more power per weight/volume to the phone because it isn't using an inefficient interface to supply power to the phone
Basically, I find the chin on the Mophie to be a feature. I frequently start the phone doing something and then put it down and may need to pick it up again. With the way the capacitive buttons are arranged on the bare phone I often hit the back button by accident thereby killing the operation I was monitoring. I also frequently have friends hit the back button when I hand them my phone to show them something, and the chin cuts way down on that.
Additionally, Mophie uses the wireless charging where it matters more to me. I could care less how the case delivers power to the phone because it will likely stay there for a while so "drop on, lift off" convenience is irrelevant. I care far more about how the case will connect to my "infinite supply of electrons" when I charge it. Realistically the phone will live in the case so the ease of connection to the case is a once a month kind of thing, but the ease of connection to the wall is an every day and sometimes twice kind of thing. Also, when I charge it I care a lot less about efficiency than I do when I consider how much weight of battery I have to carry around compared to how many electrons that battery will end up delivering to my phone. Efficiency is much more important between case and phone that it is between wall plug and phone.

samsungs own and would be interested if there was a zero leamon version.

if any of you have this, can it charge other phone? i mean if we put other smaller phone who have the ability of wireless charging also, into the battery case, will it charge?

I don't see why it wouldn't work. Not so long ago I made a mistake of getting my S6E+ a Samsung wireless battery case. My S7E charging via the aforementioned wireless charging case.

Nice! Should be postin' something like that too! lol! Yes, it should work fine charging it wirelessly.

Is the case water-resistant?
I go on long runs with my Galaxy S5 and always carry a spare battery. Even if it is pouring rain, I don't have to worry since my Galaxy S5 is water-resistant. Is the Samsung Galaxy S7 Backpack water-resistant also? It would make sense, but I have no idea what corporate Samsung higher-ups decided to green light. Also, if it isn't, does anyone know if other battery cases for Galaxy S7 (Edge especially) are water-resistant. Like the Morphie battery case perhaps?

The Mophie cases for the S5 and S6 Edge both have "keep dry and away from moisture" in their manuals. The S7 case doesn't have full specs listed yet, but they've already announced that it will support wireless charging so they've obviously tweaked the design some from previous generations - as to whether the new design goals included water resistance, only time will tell...

I like the idea but the one issue I see is that it will protect the phone except for the front. If they could have extended the 4 corners out a few mill then it would help protect the edge screen. I'm sure there will be better designs coming out soon

Going nuts waiting for Samsung to finally ship this thing. Running with a naked phone and it's killing my fingers due to the careful way I need to hold it to avoid unintended edge touches.
Come on Samsung. This is torture.

Could you not use an external wireless battery. May wait for zerolemon or mopine

a $1 case off ebay may alleviate the torture

The size is to big for me.

Yeah.... I thought about that and then made the wrong choice of thinking Samsung would be motivated to have this ready for launch. Now I'm stuck in the loop. I can order another one from ebay and it may take several days to arrive during which the other one may show up. hehe
Of course what would it matter at that price?

Bought a Steck to tide me over after calling Samsung and getting word that their battery case is delayed until 4/22 now. Really?

Wow 4/22?? I placed my order last week and they said it was shipping mid-March and then got an email yesterday saying it was on backorder. I considered cancelling but I got the 30% off deal on it so I'll wait. In the mean time I'm using the Spigen Tough Armor case which is working nicely.

Update: My battery case is arriving today so that backorder seems to be cleared. Can't wait!

Nice! Update us please! I've been on the fence for too long only if mophie has silver...

Wonder if it would fit on an S6 Edge...

Mophie battery case with wireless charging

So let me start off by saying the battery life on the s7 Edge is amazing. This case is only something you might need if you plan on being away from a charger for a while or are a very heavy user.... that being said, this case is great. I just got it so stay tuned for updates on how well it works. For how long ive used it though it seems like it charges the phone pretty fast and the wireless charging works well with the chotech fast wireless charging pad. It is pretty heavy, but nothing rediculous. The thickness is what i dislike the most but it is still pocketable.
Does anyone else have an issue with the screen protectors being lifted up be cases? I have a couple spigen cases and they always lift up my screen protector. It drives me crazy but the mophie one is just designed better. It doesnt lift at all..
On a side note, the speaker port isnt totally aligned but I havent noticed any issue with sound or the microphone. I will keep this post updated with findings.

No problem. Also, quick update battery with the case is REDICULOUS. If you werent a power user like me you could squeeze 2 maybe 3 days out of the phone with this thing

in the other thread they are liking the samsung one more, i wonder why? is it that much thinner or maybe they hate the lip?

hmmm $99 for 3300mah (gives about 60% juice?) a little too exy for me, but the case does make it very convenient, way better than carrying around a slim powerbank.

Yea, that makes sense, the reason i picked this one is because the case has wireless charging so i dont have to plug anything in. Whereas the samsung one wirelessly charges the phone, but you do have to plug it in. They both seem legit though.

Its for sure one of those things that you dont need, but it is super nice to have.

I got both. I wanted to try em and keep the one I like best. After a week with each, I have decided to keep the Sammy. I am a heavy user and I need juice everyday. I could fast charge at work or in the car for 30 mins. But having a battery case is so much easier and I kind of like the thicker and heavier grip with it on.
Both of them charge at about same speed, mophie slightly quicker. The mophie gives it about an extra 10% more. The obvious difference is the wireless charging of the mophie case which uses the phones micro USB port to charge. The Sammy case charges up by plugging the charger into its micro USB port and charges the device wireless. That is a personal preference. I think the Sammy fits and feels a ton better. That was the difference for me. I can pop the phone in and out effortlessly from the Sammy case as well.

Yea i might get the samsung one still, idk but i def like the mophie one.

samsung feels better but it charges so slow that its almost laughable, and the problem with the samsung seems if you use it while its charging you only get about 25-30% battery

Does either case Cover the micro usb port on phone? I use OTG alot and don't want to have to take the case off.

Oh dang really? Yea the mophie charges pretty good. Not dissapointed in it.

thnx for sharing

is it a soft-case or does it feel like a brick? i.e. if I drop it, will one or the other stop working?

Its a little of both. The case is smooth to the touch, but there is definitly a battery in there. So its pretty hard. But soft enough that your phone wont get scrathed by the case itself

The mophie connects into the s7 micro sd but has its own. Im sure otg would still work. Its sort of an extension

Samsung one leaves the phone's USB port accessible.

So, I just got mine. I'm used to the case having an on/off switch near the LED lights on the bottom of it. How do I turn the case off when I don't want it charging? The instructions are awful lol. I press the button for 2 seconds and it comes on, what turns it off? Thanks @Gurule92

You gotta hold it for a while, its more like 5 seconds. Youll see the lights on the back flash. If the case is charging though itll auto charge the phone.
