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.

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

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.

Hello again, Nerdz.
This review will be for the all mighty docking station with built in battery charger and spare battery. I found it for $49.97 and received a 20% discount with the purchase of two other accessories. One of which was the Power and Protection Package that was aleady marked down by 25 dollars and I still received the 20% off of the damn box as well. I hope your experience will be as excellent as mine. (Father's Day weekend) I scored an awesome wife..
After a long hard day of work the last thing you wanna do is stare at your phone. So I give you the DOCKtor. It is your basic docking station with one micro USB port for the power pusher. It has a recessed area for the USB port protector and can also fit the phone with the expanded battery attached. The battery port is also equipped to fit the fat beast of a battery you may or have purchased. it has a light indicator for the charging battery. (Red, Yellow, Green) and a nice white LG logo that illuminates once the phone is docked. DESKHOME launches and automatically displays the digital time.
Let go of your phone and enjoy your much bigger monitor sitting on your desk. This works great with the HDMI cord plugged into my HDTV and the AUX from the sound system leading into the phone. It is a nice way to ignore the ROKU and tell it, "anything you can do my phone can do better!"

Very true. Just a heads up, Verizon sells it for $29.99 plus tax. Amazon? $17.00, no shipping. I love mine. I had on my phone for 20 minutes, then my twin 18 month old boys and I were playing, one little guy reached in my pocket and ran off in 2.5 seconds. Then it went across the room, and off the dining room table, bounced off the floor and out the door as my wife was coming in the house. It finally rested on my concrete patio. It was ridiculous! Phone? Perfect. Case? Barely a scratch.

I've had two different desktop docks and has anyone else noticed that when they painted them, they left some spots thin so you can see light shine thru. It was better on my second one, but there are still spots.
+1on the belt clip case with the fold out stand....works great. I got it from the verizon website when i ordered my revo.
The desktop dock is on the vzw website, amazon, etc.
Thanks for sharing.
I have that same case but I was having problems with the phone getting very hot. I was wondering if anyone else experienced this problem?
I haven't had the heating issue. My only complaint is they don't make that case for an extended battery. otherwise, I love it. fits the holster nice...Its good.
Just received this dock and have been using it for a couple of days.
Only $10 -- a cheap alternative so some of the 40-50$ options.

It's small, feels like a decent quality piece. It's glossy black with rubber feet on the bottom so it doesn't slide around. It keeps the Note 2 supported nicely when it's dropped in. It's got a floppy rubbery insert that you can take out if you have a case.
One con is that a few times when I've yanked my phone out, the rubber piece has either partially or completely come out. My advice would be to decide on a case of not and, if you leave the rubber insert in, put a drop of hot glue or something to keep the insert in place.
See pics below. Let me know if you have questions.

Yes, it works with a slim case for me without even taking the rubber insert out. When you take the rubber insert out, there's a good 0.5-0.75cm around it, particularly the edges. A case with a big beefy back probably would not fit.

It doesn't come with a cable -- you use your phone's provided cable or anything else, so whatever those deliver. I just have a usb-to-microusb running from my computer to it and it works fine.

Sheesh guys. Think a little more outside your own world.
I have this dock connected to my computer at work. I walk in from a meeting, drop the phone in the charger (instead of setting it down, picking up the cable, jamming it in, etc) and it's immediately mounted as a drive on my computer and is charging anytime I'm at my desk. Need to run to a meeting? You just pick it up...no fussing with cables.
Nope, no spare battery. Surprise, most people don't need one. I spend half my day working at my desk, meaning my phone is charging half the day. In fact, I don't even feel like I ever "charge". It's just sitting in its stand. I never need to plug it in at home.
Nope, no USB or HDMI. Surprise, 99% of the people that use this phone care about that, so why pay for a $100 for a dock with it (that's the wrong color, BTW).
20 bucks? Wow, they saw you coming a mile off.
It's the same dock as this, which is in black or white.

You can just plug the phone into the dock without having to pick up the charge cable and plug it into the phone. Same for removing it from the dock. Since we have to charge the phone everyday, I would say the dock has a value.
I'm switching from a Note 4 and swap out these super thin batteries almost daily.
All the batteries that are on Amazon that support quick charge seem to be mostly 10,000mAh and up. But I'm not looking for super big batteries.
I could work with a 4,000-6,000mAh battery pack that can recharge the phone at least one. If I go on a long trip, I'd rather carry only one in my pocket and then another in my backpack.
Is there a thin and short one that can fit comfortably in my jeans pocket?
I found this Auckey 6,000mAh battery with Quick Charge 2.0, and while it is thin, it is longer than a phone. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0193B5VVY/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_JqRZwbG38AFCF
I would love something just as thin or shorter. Even a lipstick size one like this AUKEY Mini 5000mAh https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B1DJX02/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_hwRZwbVMC9J42 (but it's not Quick Charge compatible)
Anyone know of anything?
I was looking for the same a while ago and couldn't find any that size. Seems like the aukey 6Ah is the closest you'll get that's available now. For this phone I'm considering getting the Samsung battery backpack.

Hmm.. That's interesting. I wonder what is the speed of wireless charging.
I just hate having to carry a battery pack and making the phone thicker just to accommodate having extra battery during the day.
What would also be cool though, is a battery pack like the auckey, that could charge the phone wirelessly if they were both in your pocket together.

A rubber band can keep them together.. but then I worry about the heat while charging. Plus it takes 3-6 hours to charge which is crazy.
I guess I have to wait for something better to come along. In the meantime, I ordered the silver S7 Edge.
I will also order the Auckey 6,000mAh battery with Quick Charge 2.0 I linked below and the Anker Astro E1 5200mAh Candy bar, which doesn't have Quick Charge, but supposedly does high speed charging and try them out.
It sucks that I will go from carrying an extra 3220mAh battery that weighs less than 45 grams and smaller than 3 credit cards to carrying something bigger than a candy bar and weighing 136 grams (and this doesnt even include the size of the cable when plugged in). But I guess that's progress??

#2: Does the phone get hot or very warm when it's charging wirelessly?
#3: Does the phone charge slower when it has a one piece case on it?

I have both, the flat and the tilted charger from Samsung. I got an extra at Radio Shack going out of business, gutted it, and put it under the cubby hole in my car to charge while driving. The flat one I have next to my computer and use it rarely. The tilted charger, be warned. The lip of it where the phone sits is extremely narrow; 3 weeks after I got my Edge 7, it became an Olympic ski jumper, slid off the charger, off the desk, and right into the metal rail on my bed and cracked the housing at the charging port. I really only use the home chargers when I go to bed, and the one in my car while driving 40 miles to and from work. I like them because I've been getting Ringke cases that have port covers, and using the wireless, I don't risk marring the finish trying to connect a cable. It's funny how many people see it, either at work, or when I installed it in the car, and really like the idea. I never take my case off to charge, and never really notice it being any hotter than if I were using it for an extended time period.

I know, but you are thinking of buying one. I'm simply giving you a link, if you decide to buy one, to a REAL Samsung fast wireless charger for a good price. The market is flooded with fake ones at low prices. Usually, if the price is fairly low, then it's a fake Samsung product.

It´s just with me or it is difficult to put the phone on the right place to charge
I used a few times because of this, depend of the place where you put to charge, of course I am putting on the middle, the phone centred haha

Every time i use it (with s6 edge+ or s7 edge) it charges, no problem at all, even with the cases (s6e+ has verus high pro shield and s7e has spigen case rugged armor)
I don't have Samsung QI Charger, I got my QI Wireless Charger from Anker, Very great quality for the half of price and do the same job
Since i am not using fast charging via cable and always charge the regular - slow - way so i got the regular one from Anker, Charge time is as same as the cable time.
No major heat or something just the regular warmth, and working fine with cases.
I like it, very easy to just place the phone and wake away , no cables or USB Port damage, Won't back to regular charge

I have two of them. Stand.
#1: 20-30%
#2: It gets warm even with the fan at the back of the charger running all the time.Not hot and not very warm.
#3: Not in my case and I have cases with different thickness.
The one thing that kept me from buying the Samsung rugged case was the disclaimer that it doesn't work with wireless charging. I saw buried within another thread that it does work so I ran over to Best Buy to test it out. Took the case out of the package and used their display wireless charger to test. It works fine. I left it there longer than the youtube video guy, because sometimes it'll say it's charging initially, and then stop charging after a few seconds (longer than he let the phone sit for). I waited to see the actual increase in battery life. Then I made my way to the register with the phone still in the case and paid for it using Samsung Pay. Both worked perfectly. Thought I'd bring this into a separate thread for anyone who's on the fence.

Awesome, I just picked up with black one at Best Buy this morning. I am used to having the Otterbox Defender case on all my devices but figured I'd try a thinner case and I really like the look of this official Samsung case but I am worried about drops, even though it has this military drop protection. I stumbled across this short video of someone throwing the phone across the room so it should hold up fairly well.

So what's your trick
First off i think samsung know more about the design of the case then a typical (i use that in air quotes) consumer.
I have TWO samsung convertible fast chargers and the military case from samsung.
I will admit i did not try the phone LAYING DOWN (and I cant test at the moment), but in portrait mode, the charging starts but pauses. Then starts, then pauses. This is standard behavior.
I'm not making this up, Ive literally sat watching it do this just to prove if it can work in my experience.. and it doesn't.
Now.. the Choetech charger I reviewed seems to charge the phone through the case. Perhaps the leather type materials on the samsung charger absorb more energy than just the plastic back on the Choetech.
So I THINK its possible to charge the phone in that style case but its not reliable with the samsung one.
Unless you can give me some pointers on Howe to place it, but then it becomes a chore/hassle.
My daily driver will be the alcantara case so this will be moot for me but its good discussion I nonetheless. :highfive:

This is a good point. The chargers on display at Best Buy were the original fast wireless charges (which I have at home) and not the new convertible style. Like I said I put the phone in the case and waited for the actual power to visually increase in both portrait and landscape modes before I went to the register. I'm currently at work and I have a cheap Qi charger that I got from Amazon (also no fabric material on it) and it works fine as well. No special positioning. (I know all about having to place the phone on the charger in just the right spot...and then wait....since I've used magnetic holders and had to figure a way around the metal plate within the case.)

My phone in the case would disconnect and reconnect over and over all night long, I noticed this and pulled the Samsung Rugged case off and the phone began charging like usual. I am using last years Fast charger, not this years so I am going to say it DOES NOT work properly with the Samsung Rugged case.
I've been using it for 2 days now with no issues. Maybe it's hit or miss and maybe that's why Samsung made the disclaimer.

I believe so and it's unfortunate. I went with this case in the hopes it works, so since it doesn't I'm going to return it to Best buy and get the OtterBox Defender since wireless charging won't work on these thick cases might as well have the most protection.
It does not work reliably. Period. Sammy made no problems letting this be known. If you want this style of case and protection, you cant have it all. That's why there are other cases that do work.
Again i have two of these convertible chargers and with the military case on the charging does not work. Pauses, starts, pauses, starts... this is going to be the case for the overwhelming majority. Is it possible that it may work for someone or a small number of people? Its possible but with ther disclaimers that it doesn't work already known, it makes no sense for someone to try to use the case on the charger...
NOW the CHOETECH wireless charger DOES work with the case. I have the charger and confirmed this. It takes not special placement.. just sit it there normally. Its 20 bucks so its a good alternative.
It does not work reliably and stops charging anytime it feels like it. I have tried it with the d slow chargers, fast chargers in both positions and with the new Convertible charger in both positions...all stock OEM Samsung chargers. It starts to work and then fails.
Interestingly, the update released today addressed both camera issues as well as "optimizing wireless charging" so maybe once we get that update things will improve.

I'm sure you found it by now but it works for me without issue with the Rugged case on the note 8. Sorry it wont let me post the link but you can search it up on Amazon.

Hi
With this Charger
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wireless-P...8931&sr=1-1&keywords=pulesen+wireless+charger
It also works for me with the Otterbox Defender in portrait mode, but you have to place it correct and you have to use the right power adapter, with the fast charge adapter from Sasmung (EP-TA20EBE) it doens't work but with the ETA-U90EWE from Samsung it works perfect (no fast charging, but this i don't need and want).
It doesn't take much to just take the phone out to charge
I know how convenient it is to charge your phone while it's in the case. However, it's not too much of a hassle to take it out just for a while to charge it. Since Samsung made the disclaimer, I would rather trust that they know what they are talking about and just take the phone out to charge. That way, you get a reliable charge and then put the case back on when it's done. Not a big deal.
