[Review] ZeroLemon 3500mah Battery Case

I've been using this ZeroLemon battery case on and off for my Galaxy S6 Edge in the past couple of months since May and I have to say that I like it a lot!! I've been a fan of ZeroLemon since 2013 when I began using their products for my Galaxy S4 (3000mah & 7500mah batteries) and this product has lived up to my expectations.
This product consists of 3 main parts - the 3500mah extra battery, a little bridge connector that connects the 3500mah battery to the micro USB port on the bottom of the phone, and a TPU case. Here is a picture of what they look like:
It is very simple and easy to put together the package. You first connect one side of the little bridge connector to your phone and connect the other side of the bridge connector to the battery. You then insert the phone and the battery together into the TPU case.
Once everything has been put together, it looks like this:
Putting on the battery case makes the package as tall as a Galaxy Note 4 and about double the Note 4's thickness.
I expected the phone to become super heavy but I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't too bad. My old Galaxy S4 with its 7500mah extended battery was heavy. This 3500mah ZL battery case is not bad at all. Despite the tallness and thickness, I am still able to use the phone easily with one hand, which is very important for me. The phone is still comfortable to hold and use.
One thing that struck me was the improvement in the quality of the TPU case ZeroLemon used for this product compared to its older TPU products. The feel is way better as the TPU material is now more solid-feeling with a nice texture to it. The older ZL TPU case material felt spongy and cheap in comparison. Kudos to ZL for improving their TPU case material and quality.
Fitment of the TPU case is very good as well. There are no glaring gaps anywhere and the phone is secured snugly with no nervous looseness or movements.
The main star of this kit, of course, is that extra 3500mah battery and it performs very well. My wife and I went far away from home yesterday to do some outlet shopping and I knew I would probably run out of juice during the trip with all the GPS & data usage. About the middle of the day, my phone battery was down to about 30%. So I activated the ZL 3500mah battery by holding down the Power Button on the back of the case and the phone began charging itself right away. About 1 & 15 mins later, the phone was fully charged back to 100%. Nice~! To turn off the charging function, I pressed down on the Power Button again. Very simple.
There are 4 indicators on the back of the case that lets you know how much charge you have left in the 3500mah battery. After that charging session from 30% to 100%, I had 2 bars left which was what I had expected.
So how do you charge the ZL battery pack? You connect your phone charger cable to the microUSB charging receptacle on the lower-left side of the battery case. I noticed that the ZL 3500mah battery gets charged first, followed by the internal OEM battery. After plugging the charger in at night and looking at the phone in the morning, both the ZL battery & OEM battery were fully charged to 100%.
To sum things up, I'm very happy with this ZeroLemon battery case. It is easy to set up, easy to hold and use, and the important battery extension capability just works as advertised.
++ Pros ++
-3500mah backup battery capacity!!
-Easy setup and comfortable to use.
-Good quality TPU case.
-Battery charges fast for not being a FastCharge type.
-The raised lip of the TPU case allows the phone to be placed face-down.
-The case routes the sound to the front so the phone with the case on becomes front-facing rather than down-facing.
++ Cons ++
-A bit difficult to slide the phone inside the case if you have a screen protector on the phone and don't want it to get wrinkled up. It's possible to not mess up the screen protector but takes some effort.
-At maximum volume level, the audio sounds a bit hollowed out and distorted. If one lowers the volume a couple notches, distortion goes away but still not as clear-sounding as having no case on.
I would definitely recommend this battery case to any S6 Edge user who doesn't mind the extra bulk of the case, doesn't want to carry around a power bank, and want some peace of mind knowing that their Edge will easily last the whole day and more. :good: ​

I've heard about Zerolemon that their batteries are powerful. Maybe I'll give it a shot.

Chinese external battery case

saw this looks interesting buy may be overspeced, not wireless, anyone tried it ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5200-mAh-...hash=item4d40d3b0b2:m:mWjW-1X8YlqbQqg4CpGEK9A

Now on amazon as only alternative to samsung. Galaxy S7 Edge Battery Case,Ruky [New Arrival] S7 Edge Battery Ca... http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01CYHKWA4/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_udp_awd_VfC8wbE2BMQFP MISS MY S5 ZEROLEMON

I would never go with a chinese power case. Maybe if it was just a case. But batteries or electronic components, not so much. My advice is to make a bigger investment with something that holds quality since you are using it with a very expensive smartphone. I've come across several smart cases. So you can check Nexpaq, I-blades or this Otterbox if you are interested in something innovative. You can get extra battery life, expand memory, put laser light, enviro sensor etc. Take a look, at least it is not something ordinary. If you are only into extra battery the Zerolemon is always here

Attached Battery Packs

I've rooted around plus searched but haven't seen any reviews of battery packs.
I bought a Mophie for my S7 Edge because I had one for a previous phone but may be sending this one back.
Once attached to my S7 Edge, it doesn't want to be removed. I fear I'll either damage my camera lens or break the Mophie (I already accidentally split the case).
Additionally the S7's battery finishes charging long before the battery pack and I'm concerned that charging for so long will eventually damage my phones battery especially since the Mophie gives no indication when its fully charged unless one continuously presses the battery status button.
Has anyone posted recommendations specifically for accessory battery packs?
Thanks.

This is one you might like to try. It offers so much more than the Mophie for the same price. The design of the case is miles ahead and besides adding power you get 64GB of storage as well. They call it a modular smart case. You just snap on a blade depending on the functionality you need and you’re done.
They have a cool VR blade as well but you need to pay extra for it. Either way, I think if you are disappointed with the Mophie this is a nice alternative and a step up IMO https://i-blades.com/samsung-phone-cases/galaxy-s7-edge-battery-life-case-memory/
As final alternative you can check the Otterbox solutions.
Peace

I found the Incipio Off Grid battery case on Groupon for only $30 with free shipping. I like it so far, it's bulky and heavy so I'll only use it when I will be away from a charger for most of the day or for camping.
More than 50% off sold me on it and loved their cases back when I had an S4.

Possibility of 4000mah mod on S7 edge

I've read on reddit that people purchaased the S7 edge battery and managed to squeeze it in their S6.
Was wondering if we could emulate this for the S7/S7e. The S7 active has a 4000mah battery and from the looks of it, the dimensions seem similar. Not sure about the thickness though.
To anyone who has access to spare phone parts lying around, could you post the dimensions of the S7 active battery? If they are indeed similar, maybe we could put it in the S7e?

I'm not sure if the innards are designed the same between the s7 & s7A. Until we can find out though, you can always get a Mophie Juice Pack for a extra 3,300 mAh.

OR a Zero Lemon battery case that provides 8500 mAh.

This is a cool idea, and I reckon that if I were to open it up the battery should be easily removed. But I am not game to open up a phone that Samsung recommends us not to open for water resistance and I don't trust myself enough on a phone I have had for less than a year reasons haha.
I am interested on the results of anyone who has tried/ will try.

ZeroLemon Note 8 10,000mah battery case combo

First off, let me say this is a great setup for a power user and is the third ZeroLemon 10000mah battery case I have used on a mobile device. I use my phone for everyday business and multimedia use around 12-13 hours a day. I am constantly in the car or traveling for clients and have very little time to actively charge my phone on the move. This battery case combo was a no brainer for me.
So far I have been through 5 complete charge/drain cycles. Charging this battery case usually takes 8-10+ hours and holds a charge pretty well from what I have tested throughout the week.
The overall size and feel is great, although it does take a beautiful thin phone and make it into a hefty brick. I would say it is relatively the same size as 3 Note 8 phones stacked on top of each other. For me, this feels great and gives me a bit more piece of mind when handling the phone all day. However, your basic consumer may not like trade-off. That though, is a positive trade-off for me to have stellar battery and usability to get me through the day, worry free.
The case fits the phone very well and I do not worry about it coming loose, shifting etc...If I were to drop it I don't know how well it would absorb the impact, or whether the phone would stay in the case itsself. I'm not going to test that though. The s-pen can be a bit difficult to get out/in. This isn't an issue for me as I rarely use this feature. All the buttons line up with the respective case buttons and pluggin in the charger has ample clearances etc. The camera and fingerprint sensor are easily reachable as well.
Overall, this was a great purchase and one I will make again for future devices. It does exactly what I need it to do every day, and it does it very well.

I don't think anyone could have designed an uglier solution

Way too much bulk to add considering how long the battery last and how fast the Note 8 charges. I have an external battery, but have only used it once

I bought the 10000 mah lemon battery as well via pre-order being I was coming off a rooted Note 3. Once I seen they was making a 10000 mah lemon I went and bought the Note 8 immediately. Not only have I've gotten 3-4 days with moderate use but it can also be used as an EXTERNAL battery for anyone worried about the added bulk or having to take a more protective designed case off to use the lemon case and battery.
I haven't even seen this option advertised in the Amazon reviews, Zero Lemon website or anywhere so decided to share. Basically just buy any USB C to USB C cable like this but shorter if you want "AmazonBasics USB Type-C to USB Type-C 2.0 Cable - 6 Feet (1.8 M... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GGKZ1VA/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdo_t1_icXvAb4CR5EGC and plug it in the actual white and black battery that fits in the lemon case. There's a input and output insert. Use the Input slot and plug the other end into the Note 8.
This works just like an external battery where you get the option to have it in the case or out the case. Also to add. When flat on a table, the lip for the case slightly raises the phone off flat surface which helps with the glass not touching. Although it's not designed to protect the phone I dropped mines twice off a dresser and not a scratch. Landed on its back possibly because of the weight. Hope this helps anyone in deciding.
