I swear by these guys for all my accessories and batteries, going on 4 phones now. Very satisified customer.
edit2: 09/23/09- email from seidio stating it is NOT compatible with the holster listed below
edit: and says it's compatible with holster, agian, very satisfied buy.

This is by far my favorite of the 3 holsters I've previously owned for various phones by the same company. Phone sits very secure with no fear of falling out at all.

Interesting, the price is a bit steep but not too high.
I would like to see some higher res pics from a few angles to get a better idea of what the case cover looks like.

I have the holster but how do you know the extended battery fits the holster? From the single photo of the battery cover, it looks like the top sticks out as much as the area below the camera...

Yes I did see that though from the photo it does not look like that's the case. Do you really think it's compatible from that photo? I've had the extended battery for the Storm and the holster worked fine because the battery cover did not extend on the upper portion where the camera is. Guess we'll have to wait for someone to actually dive in but in the meantime I'm sticking to what I can tell from that photo on their site.

Reasonable price? depends on what you think is reasonable. You do realize that without either the battery or the phone, the other is pretty worthless. I think it's a great price considering crap motorola batteries are $30

got this from seidio, just an fyi, they must be talking about different holsters or the listing might just be plain incorrect.

I ordered this, and its been shipped already and I am awaiting arrival. I also have the innocase and holster combo, and while I know the innocase wont fit, I will try the holster and report back if that one works.

any idea which case will work?
:/

I got mine today. Huge battery
The replacement cover is ok, although I am afraid it will accidentally slide off in my pocket.
Overall, the added bulk really doesn't make a huge difference, in fact it makes it a little easier to hold.
Can't wait to see what the battery life on this sucker is like.

I got mine today too. I also like the added bulk. It fits my Seidio holster, even though the innocase that I got with the holster wont fit. Made of the same material as the innocase so its hard to scuff etc. I'll report back after a few cycles to let people know what I'm getting usage wise out of it.
UPDATE:
Well, it came off the charger at 3:30pm today saying 100%. I have been hammering it mercilessly for 6 hours now. Streaming Pandora for six hours straight, Turned on GPS, set all of my social network notifications to the quickest pull intervals, and my mail also. I have had the web browser open for nearly three hours, had three calls of around 20 minutes each, and my awake time since I pulled the battery off the charger is 100%. I am sitting at 75% right now. I am trying to get the battery low so I can get a full charge for the next cycle, but this damn thing won't go down. I guess I'll try to download a game or something and play it while listening to Pandora. This thing is a beast....

This is a beast. Used it all evening last night, and the power meter did not budge.
Also the new back makes the Hero much easier to hold.
Waiting for a day in the office where I have a weak signal to see how it does there. I'm guessing this thing will make it through a day or two no matter what I throw at it.
By far the best accessory...

Awesome, guys, glad to hear this thing is the real deal. I'm thinking about getting one but I'm waiting for the price to go down. Anyone know if they usually do? Last extended battery I bought was only $7, this one is pretty steep.
I found a better deal but not in stock ATM:

sounds great. can't wait to buy one, but i'm waiting to find out which case is compatible. i'm not picky, can be a leather pouch, any suggestions?

watch out for these kinda deals, i'm fairly certain seidio's waranty doesn't transfer to 3rd party sellers completely.
I had purchased a battery from seidio previously that was DoA, and after a conversation with their RMA department getting my invoice number and all that, they said they will replace bad batteries from anywhere but since I purchased through seidio directly they would send me a replacement without having to send the old one back first (or at all, they just said to pitch it). The battery that was sent to me was tested with a full power cycle before being over-nighted to my door.
I don't know, it's something to think about. If I'm getting a quality piece of gear, and the service to back it. I don't mind throwing out an extra little bit.

I'm on my second charge. The phone has been off the charger since 12pm on Sunday. I am sitting at 70% on Monday at 2pm. I'm really liking the usage I am getting out of this. I did not beat on it too much yesterday, just a lot of normal use. I figure at this rate, I will have to charge it every three or so days. I'm hoping it improves after a few cycles, even though I've only charged it twice so far. I'm going to run it down to 30% or so before the next charge....who knows when that will be lol.

Inexpensive charging dock from Smartphonepedia

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.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Data-Sy...531363?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f1de5aea3
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.

What voltage and amperes does it deliver?

I think it's cool man, it's just a simple charging dock. Great to keep at the office or your bedside.

So the only difference then my stock cable is my phone will be standing upward?...Lol...

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.

Different dock and doesn't ship to the US. But yes, I see your point, there are cheaper alternatives on ebay. Thanks for trying to make me feel like an idiot, Baron. You are very thoughtful.
Here is the same dock for a better price for those of us in "the colonies"

Just picked one up, and thanks for sharing man :good:

While their prices aren't always the best, I do like Smartphonepedia's video reviews on youtube (the full shows, not the 30 second blips) and the guys there are very pro-android and know their devices. I would throw business at them vs a random guy on ebay any day.

May be ordering one of these. Thanks for the tip!

I got the dock in the OP this past Friday, and so far so good. Very nice looking, no cheap feel to it, and the Bodyglove case fits perfect on the dock. No complaints over here folks :good:

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.

SAVFY Battery Case

Got a 'SAVFY' charging case for just £11.38 shipped off eBay. The battery of the S7 Edge seems excellent so far, but if, like me, you go on many football away days etc, you'll easily get through it in a day. Anyway, it looks as though SAVFY is just a knock-off Chinese brand, but I've used knock-off Chinese batteries before with good results (with one exception) and for less than £12 it seems a bargain. Here's an Amazon listing for the case: https://www.amazon.com/Charger-SAVFY-Portable-External-Rechargeable/dp/B01EN0JVAW
Mixed reception online it seems. One fella said the battery died after charging to just 30% (to me that sounds like a duff one), while others complained about the colours and tactility of the case. It claims to be 5200mAH but not sure how I'd really test that.
Quite a few of the negative comments are to do with the manufacturing materials, as such I would really advise anyone who does buy this case.....
BUY THE BLACK ONE. If you have a white phone, buy the black one, if you have a black phone, buy the black one, if you have a green with yellow spots phone, buy the black one. The reason why? The non-black colours are 'glossy', a bit like enamel or a hard plastic texture. One of the photos in the link above shows the Rose Gold one and you can see the hard plastic reflecting in the light. The plastic is also hard and feels brittle and will probably break if dropped.
The black one is different. It's still quite hard, but the outside material is like a rubbery texture. A bit like you get in some cars on the dash board. I doubt it'll be much better for absorbing impact, but I believe it will reduce the likelihood of bits of dust scratching the back and outer edges of your phone.
A few observations of my own:
- I personally am not all that impressed by the 'protective' level of this case. Large parts of the edge of the phone are completely exposed, so anything in your pocket could . I've done a few little (completely unscientific) tests using a table and the phone and I reckon if the phone hits the ground face down, you've got maybe 2-3mm of flex from the corners of the device, which is pretty much nothing. If it hits on the top you've got a reasonable 3-4mm and the bottom I'd say you're safe as it's protected by the thickest part of the case. If it hits the floor on an edge however, the amount of space between the phone and the floor becomes precariously low in my opinion. If you're lucky, it'll hit the phone on the back, bottom, or corners. Anything else could be curtains for this beautiful device.
- Not a negative, but it does add a fair bit of weight onto your phone (which tied into the point above...). It takes your phone from being a lightweight comfortable device to being, hmmmm, nearly the weight of a tablet I'd say. The case on its own weighs more than the entire phone. Fine in your pocket, but it does get a bit tedious holding it.
- No Micro-USB Cable was included. I know this sounds picky, but even the cheapest of cheap Chinese batteries i've bought in the past have come with a 5cm cheap cable to charge with. Come on?
Not had chance to actually try the case. It came charged up to the 4th light, so I will probably charge it up full and see if I can try it for a day. Don't really know how to test a 5200mAh battery, but my thinking is that it should be able to charge a S7 Edge from 0-100% then run it for a while too? Is that a terribly unscientific experiment? You betya.....

Tried it yesterday. Charged the phone from 27% up to 100% (while the phone was running too). It then charged it for about another 10-15% after (while running).
I call that a win.

So, I've used it a lot since then. I've been able to experiment with it a lot.
I think it's fair to say that it's better used keeping a fully charged phone, fully charged. Now, that might sound daft, but what I mean is, if you have your phone, run it down to 60%, then put it in the battery case, this seems to use more energy than simply leaving the phone in the battery case all day. I don't have any scientific explanation for this, rather I have empirical evidence.
The first few times I took it out, I did just as I describe above, allowing the phone to discharge to a moderate level, then re-charging it up. Suffice to say, in this scenario, the battery case will quickly run down to the 50% marker or even down to the 25% marker. This was fine, but obviously once the case is dead.... well, it's dead. Now you're onto your phone battery.
Instead, I tried it one day from 100%, so simply using the phone in a constant state of charge. Now, the case itself does occasionally switch off (perhaps it's wired to detect when the phone gets to 100%). I simply flick it back on. In this scenario, I was able to keep the phone at 100% all day (despite using it A LOT), and only use about 25% - 50% of the charge case. By 8pm, there was still plenty of charge left in the case and my phone was still at 100%.
As I said, I don't know the science behind this. I know that energy is often lost as heat, and it gets much warmer when charging from 50% than maintaining the phone at 100%. I know that charging via Micro-USB is also not 100% efficient. In fact, studies show that Micro USB is often inefficient.
With that in mind, I think I've given a pretty good example of how I use it. I think these are excellent cheapo battery cases, but don't use them to re-charge your phone to get maximum performance. Rather keep your phone in them all day, right from the minute you leave the house.

I am strictly against cheap battery cases. Heard a thousand stories about poor quality, no money back guarantee etc. I am a strict opponent of the "official" power cases also. The brand manufacturers spend zero time and effort on something worthy and innovative.
I would like to be proven wrong on my first opinion. Maybe I will buy some cheapo just to test it. I need more reviews and opinions on the SAVFY.
Meanwhile, the case market is hungry for innovations.
I admire brands like[URL="https://i-blades.com/samsung-phone-cases/galaxy-s7-edge-battery-life-case-memory/"] Nexpaq[/URL], I-blades and the uniVERSE Otterbox. If some of the brand manufacturers get the idea to make something similar there will be no time until cheap knock-offs appear on the market. I would definitely like to try some product of that kind

Thanks for replying. So my problem with the branded ones is they tend to be expensive..... and I mean really expensive!! Look at the Zero Lemon one. In the UK, that is currently £59 on Amazon. £59!!!??!!?! It's also $59 which in dollars, that might not sound too bad, but in UK money, that's seriously expensive for what is essentially nothing more than a big battery. I mean hell, you can buy a decent branded Universal battery pack with similar amounts of juice (or more), with several ports and some extra features for about £20. They're cashing in on the fact it's an S7 Edge specific accessory and the fact the people who own these phones either have big expensive contracts or earn decent money and therefore can afford to buy such a luxury product. Alternatively, you buy an original battery case from Samsung.... £54.99 and only 3100Mah. That's a joke. That's enough to recharge it once.....
I tried to look at the Otterbox but there was no price for the S7 Edge. I also looked at the nexpaq but there doesn't seem to be any details regarding the S7 Edge. While I think you're right to admire those two brands, and what they're doing is clearly innovative, something theoretical is useless to me. I came from an S4. I had two spares batteries in my wallet, which was ideal really because it meant I could switch any time I like and pretty much guarantee a whole weekend without my phone charger. You'd be surprised how often I used those spares. I reckon at least once or twice a week. I cannot do this with the S7 Edge. The Edge battery is good without a spare battery. Much better than the S4..... but like all phones, throw a few apps on, get some data connections running and boom, that battery soon disappears. I am a proper power user.
So, we look for answers and solutions that can give us something now. You can pay Zero Lemon £60 to sell you a posh, branded, ugly, massive case, which makes your phone into a brick.... or you look at the alternatives and you usually end up looking through eBay.
SAVFY are nothing special as far as I'm concerned. From what I gather they seem to be a company which buys cheap products and sticks their logo on. Many companies do that. In fact, some of the bigger brands do that as well. As with all labelled products, it's a gamble, you might get a good one, you might get a bad one. SAVFY were surprisingly good to me I found. So, I haven't mentioned that I decided to call them up over the fact my case appeared to discharge excessively if the phone was down to 50%, and they sent me another as a goodwill gesture for free. In fairness to them, they really didn't have to do that..... especially considering I've since found ways of making my original case last all day. It's quite possible this case is a 4000Mah battery or something similar, it's just losing charge through an inefficient charging procedure (micro-usb).
As for a guarantee, well, the thing was like £11. What kind of guarantee do you get for £11 man? You can't even buy a decent pair of shoes for £11 in England. Guarantees are something you get with £700 phones, or a £100 car stereo. To get a guarantee/warranty with something as cheap as that, very few places in England will give you one.... maybe ALDI but don't expect them to have a S7 Edge specific one, they only really deal with universal electronics.
To sum up, I made no really attempts to find a branded battery case. I looked through eBay, spotted SAVFY (a brand I confess to buying before) and decided that for £11 it was worth the gamble.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_o...+case.TRS0&_nkw=s7+edge+battery+case&_sacat=0
As you can see, eBay is awash with unbranded/generic branded battery cases. Some are labelled (wrongly) as 8000Mah... I would keep well away from those. Some are labelled 5200Mah. I believe they're the ones where the seller has been as honest as possible. It's completely impossible for any of these cases to be an 8000Mah, otherwise they'd be huge like the Zero Lemon. Science y'all.
Finally, I decided to have one crack at finding a branded case on eBay that wasn't a generic one, and wasn't super expensive. Nope. Literally not possible. The closest I found was this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Roger-for...213594?hash=item3f73a63b1a:g:mFcAAOSwjDZYe-lS
An AUNSY (never heard of them) 5200Mah battery case for £36 delivered.
Hmm, where have I seen that case before
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Galaxy-Edg...&qid=1485533629&sr=8-1&keywords=SAVFY+s7+edge
Nah..... When someone gets their act together, they'll create a solid 5200Mah with a genuine dependable battery at an affordable cost with a small warranty and we'll all be very very happy

Decent unboxing here, although he's gone for a shiny Gold one which I wouldn't recommended as it'll scratch your phone imo.

I just saw the misplaced link for I-blades. They are my most Samsung-friendly favorite brand. They have products for more and more Samsung models. Nexpaq and Otterbox stayed behind.
Previously I was referring to the innovations, not the price, though it is not so bad after all. I wish someday official Samsung product with the ideas from I-blades.

I'm actually pretty tempted to buy it. I've looked through many options for battery cases but I always see there's some kind of faults with them. Either they're not protective enough or just doesn't hold its charge.
This case on the other hand, has a benefit of analyzing the air around me. I'd like to know how is the air in my work environment working in a warehouse so I may know that I should wear some extra protective stuff. Despite the Smartblade adding an ugly bump, I hope the magnet attachment is actually strong enough to just slide off if I put it into some pants I have with slim pockets. And the other thing I hope is the battery being pretty large enough to actually extend battery life better than what I have now.

What makes you so much of a skeptic with attitude? If the case doesn't work as intended, I can always return it for a refund.

It's a 100 dollar case.... In England, with tax, it'll probably be the same. £100 for a fancy phone case?
It sounds like snake oil to me
I would happily spend midrange money but £100?
No thanks.... And I have a feeling people will be more keen to take a gamble on a cheap Chinese case than one which costs a days pay for most.

This video is the newest and the closest thing to review I've come across so far. They do go slow but it promises a quality product. I changed my Galaxy with a Note 5 but still I am looking forward the product. I am waiting for the Enviro Sensor Pack and then if I am satisfied will order the Battery/Memory Blade

I've been meaning to call the company to see when they're shipping the case for my Galaxy S7 Edge since it's already March. I already ordered the whole thing since it's a cheaper option to go with instead of spending an extra $50 on the memory blade separately.

So I tried to disassemble my SAVFY battery case today. Didn't really want to come apart. There's a hefty lithium ion battery in there. Whether it's the described 5200Mah, who knows?
I've given mine an absolute battering this week. Using it every day without fail including in seriously hot temperatures and had no issues, so I think these SAVFY ones are pretty solid for the most part. Cheap energy when you need them. Mine is starting to show signs of wear and tear now, as I'm using it so much (the rubberized finish is coming off) but yeah, it's a fairly solid piece of kit i'd say.

any update on this, which one will you recommend? cause there are numerous battery covers, which one is fake, which one is good?
Powerbear (no kickstand)

Review: Zerolemon 5500mah Note 8 Battery Case

First, I did receive a review sample from ZeroLemon.
If you're looking for a slim solution, this is NOT your choice, if you're looking for massive amounts of additional power on the go without having to carry a cable and external battery, then this IS your solution.
As I'm sure everyone will mention, it's LARGE. Until battery tech gets smaller, you gotta cram that battery somewhere. It's pretty hefty as well. If you wanted with this battery pack, you could outlast everyone around you in a marathon Pokemon Go session, long flights of movies won't be a problem. It's not going to provide any screen protection if dropped, but it might give you some arm workouts as you use the phone.
It's brainless to use. Plug your Note 8 into the battery case. All the button passthru's worked fine and aligned up. You are still "capable" of using the fingerprint reader, expect a bit more "reach" to get there. The case itself doesn't block the camera at all. No ghosting of the case in your photos.
If I were designing this, I would have added a flipout kickstand so you could just sit and watch movies without having to hold the bulk.
Product Packaging:
Packaging is quite simple, it’s a white ziplock bag and a brown cardboard box. There isn’t much in terms of instructions, just a small flip out pamphlet that instructs you on how to plug in the battery and case.
The battery attaches to the Note 8 via the USB-C port on the phone. The battery attachment also charges through a USB-C female port, so there is no need to change chargers or cables that you are already using with the phone.
Battery Usage:
I charged the case for approximately 12 hours before initial use – as instructed on the white ziplock bag that it all comes in.
The battery/case:
It’s a simple TPU case. It has a matte texture that feels good in the hands and prevents slippage.
After testing the battery case with the camera flash, I found no issues.
There is no need to remove the phone from the attachment in order to transfer files to your computer – something that is not possible with another extended battery case I tried using prior to this one.
Charging:
The battery itself does not support fast charging from the battery to the Note 8, but it does allow for pass through quick charging of your phone if you connect the battery case to your Samsung fast charger.
Pros:
Good extended capacity
Power on/off button
Solid construction of battery and case
Pass-through quick charging
Data transfer pass-through
Worked first time. Living up to name ZeroLemon.
Case itself is grippy and comfortable
Cons:
No NFC
No QI charging
Recessed fingerprint reader
Noticeable increase in weight and thickness of the phone
Needs a flip out kickstand.

Interestingly, if you try to go to the product page its a page saying "Oops - We couldn't find that one"

Interesting that they make two of them now. I wonder how much thinner the 5500 will be compared to the 10000 one.

I saw that 5500 version a few weeks ago before the 10,000 mah one was listed and didn't like the way it looked. The 10,000mah one looks decent, I need to know if it will work with the Whitestone Dome though.

When you are charging this, does the phone and the case get charged in parallel? Or the phone first, then the case etc.
Also how long does it take to charge the case itself, with the phone in it?

I like mine. It's a little smaller and the case is refreshed from older models I've used from ZL

Well I went thru 2 10000 cases in 1 week and both failed. Then I bought this slim one. Worked great for 2 charges and then would not take charge from factory charger. Will only charge from pc. Contacted zerolemon and was told must be defective cable. Lol. Yet charges my phone properly. Zerolemon is garbage and I recommend everyone to stay away from it. Last 2 phones product has gone to worthless in less then 2 weeks.

All their 5500 seems to be is a rebranded knockoff of the ebay versions for about $20 more. The 10 000 version looks like there's. Bottom line, like the OP said. It's heavy, no wireless charging, no magnet, no nfc. Those three are a killer, I regret not waiting for mophie's more expensive alternative.

The Mophie one is only 2950mAh and can only charge the phone 50% of juice.

Sorry I don't have it. I want to purchase it but it is currently out of stock.
It should be smaller in size than zerolemon as it has smaller capacity, I think.
Here are some video fyi:

Accessories ZEROLEMON Galaxy S21 Ultra Battery Case 8000mAh review.

ZeroLemon is know to be the top dog when it comes to battery cases and this time it's no different. The S21 Ultra already packs a whopping 5,000 mAh battery and this case brings another amazing 8,000 mAh. I cannot wait to go on vacation with this beast, It will make my traveling and exploring experience that much better.
The case is about 1" thick on the bottom end so yes it does add a quite a bit of girth but the peace of mind of not having to worry about being next to a charging outlet makes the size well worth it.The case let's you also still use Android Auto which is a major plus to me. My car does have Android Auto so this is a much welcomed addition.
All you have to do is hold down the button on the back of the case for 3 seconds to turn on and off the case to charge your S21 Ultra. The case also has raised corners to help with drop protection. I think if you were to add a glass screen protector to your S21 Ultra then this would be a completely drop proof case. The camera cutout is precise and really shows off the beautiful design of the phone.
Overall I would definitely recommend the ZeroLemon 8,000 mAh battery case if you are in the market for some extra juice on those long days or vacations!

What's the weight and can you show a pic of the phone wearing it?

The case weighs 8.4 ounces.

What they should've done is make a normal case with a magnetically attaching battery which has pins at the bottom to transfer the power (no wireless charging bull****) that way it'll be a normal case and when needed and will charge the phone when required!

Yeah definitely wont be an everyday item, but it will come in handy when the power goes out/vacation/camping/etc.

Looks like something Ripley would use in an alien film . Put a power bank in your pocket I have the wireless samsung one

Can you share the link to buy?

Laughable. If you cant manage with a friggin 5000mh battery, you have some serious OCD regarding phone usage

If you guys feel an earthquake in the next while,

You must never lose power where you live. I'm sure some people in Texas last week would have loved an extended battery pack like this for their device.

Thanks! Very bulky but definitely more useful than just a power bank in specific situations.

One would hope they'd be pissed off with the laughable governance and yahoo screw you way of doing business by big corps across the board down yonder rather than with having the foresight to buy a super niche product for a weather anomaly.
But TexAmerica: Buy More ****, Eat More Stuff, Stare at Phone

I had the same model for the samsung note 10+ and it was very useful for me
