First one I've seen. It's a preorder though. Comes with a kickstand which is nice. Personally I don't think I'd have a need for something like this but figured I'd share. Also comes in white.

Looks tempting. I have an Anker 2nd Gen Astro 6000mAh (2A Output) External Battery Pack and an i-Blason case with a kickstand, yet I think I'd love to have this one. Another link for it:

Too bad the output current is just 800 mAh, when the phone can handle 2A.
Looks ok but I'm gonna wait on mophie to make one, have played with a friend's S4 that had a mophie and it was nice. Just hope that mophie adds at least a 1.5 amp charge in to the case and to the phone.

Is Mophie making one for the M8? I hadn't heard anything about it. I know they made a solid one for the M7, though.

you guys do realize most of these battery/ battery case come from china right? just like MUGEN battery. For all you know they are probably from the same factory, make the battery and then just slap on the sticker and you're paying extra for it.
I like this case/battery combo. However, from the pictures it looks like the case offers absolutely no protection for the screen. It would be nice if there was at least a raised lip to keep the screen safe.
Seems like it would be extremely inconvenient to have to remove the case and charge the phone and case separately.
I've never had one of these 'charge' cases before.. Is that the normal operation?

When I had my G2 with a Zerolemon battery case it would charge the phone before the case. The only thing I didn't like a out it was a 1 amp into the case and phone, then when you click the button to charge the phone it was a 1 amp output to the phone. So you really can't use the phone and charge at the same time. like you can when you use a wall charger, other than that it was ok and the bulk didn't bother me at all. I have 3 friends that have Mophie cases ( HTC One m7, galaxy s4 and a iPhone 5) they like the cases, I just hope they make one for the M8 I'd love to buy one.

Just got the case today so far it seems really nice. It does add some bulk and to some might seem as a brick. Coming from Nexus 5 zero lemon this is "thin" for me.
The case looks nice and despite it's plastic feels more premium than I expected. Maybe it has more to do with the weight than the material.
Protection wise I am a little nervous. The edges appear to be protected but the edges are exposed leading me to believe that it's more prone to damage such as cracks and dings. I expect the aluminum on the edges to be dinged up using this case.
Charging wise this thing is nice. It came with with 3 charging lights indicating it was roughly .75% charged. It died after 2 hours however left me with an almost completely charged phone. Mind you I was charging with GPS and screen on. On the zerolemon battery would drain(not charge if I were use GPS and screen on even if battery was charged. The insctructions state that you can charge both phone and battery. The phone would charge phone first and then battery. On the zerolemon it charges both at a a god awful snails pace.
One huge benefit of this case is how easy it is to install, just slides right in. So if your like me and clumsy you can put on the case as needed and use you other case as needed.
Packaging was also nice, It looked similar to how the m8 came in a box except instead of cardboard came in plastic. Will upload pictures and give a more detailed review after I had it for a few days.
All in all after owning it for a few hours I can say I recommend this case

Looks identical.
I had ordered one as well and had issues with it not holding a charge and only charging about 20% with what it did have. Contacted seller for a replacement, which they never requested the original back(wierd), and the replacement had the exact same problem. Returning them and waiting for an official case to come out.
So far have had nothing but positive experience. I am wondering if these are the same product I bought from mobile fun. If have issues I will report. So far is my only complaint is lack of protection. It charges surprisingly fast when charging it says it's charging AC in the battery stats. Fits like a glove and easy to take out and put back in

I picked up the SafPWR Fusion 2 case today from AT&T. My usage so far hasn't been wearing the battery out, but it is an 1800ma case that goes with the original 1600. So that should be enough power to sync everything like a madman, and screen at 100%. lol
Will update after a couple of days to let you know what it is like.
can you post pics of it on your phone.. curious to see how much extra it adds to it.

Yuck... I didn't know it was that thick.
It isn't twice as thick, but it is pretty damn thick.
It is heavy, I can tell you that (with the phone). Without the phone you think, hey this isn't to heavy. LOL.
Still deciding if I am going to keep it.
I have been using this case since I bought my vivid over a month ago. It definitely adds some bulk to it, but it also does a good job protecting the Phone. It doesn't look/ feel like it would be very useful as drop protection, but I have dropped the phone multiple times on hard surfaces (I am 6'3") and the case has taken all the damage.
As for the 1800mah battery in the case, I have been less than satisfied. I almost feel that it was a typo and should have said 800mah. When my phone hits under 20% I turn the case on, if I am not using the phone at all while the case charges it, I can get it from 20, to about 80-90% before the case runs out of juice. If I am using the phone moderately while the case charges it, I am lucky to see a 30% improvement before the case goes dead 1-2 hours later.
I will say though, that if I let it charge from the case in my pocket, and do not use the phone, it DOES charge pretty fast from 20 to 80-ish percent.
If I want to use MHL, I have to remove the phone from the case, but I believe it works for data sync, etc in the case.
I plan on continuing to use this case as it hasn't let me down yet, and the extra battery life (though not 1800mah worth) is definitely a life saver.
Just my short review. Hope it helps!

I was worried about this. I am trying to figure out if I am going to keep it. I really like the way the Speck case looks, and that is what I was going to get. I ended up getting the battery case, and the one that looks like a tire with a leather back. They had the otter, but I just didn't like it. But I can never make up my mind with cases and phones lol.
Well, I just boxed it back up. I had it on the charger for like three hour and the phone wasn't fully charged and neither was the case. Case was only half charged. DO you have to charge them separately? Or can you charge both the phone and the case at the same time.
I have this case. If you let the phone and battery case die you have to charge them separately. ( the actual inst. Booklet that came with it tells you.) as far as feel the phone itself is to me a little too thin. The case feels great after the first couple days. I will say this they give you an extra top piece wherd the earphone jack goes for a reason. Mine broke the first week so be careful!

I would too. I recently ordered the OtterBox Defender. I think I would rather have the protection over the extra battery life though. I already had to get the phone repaired after it fell out of my pocket while I was jogging...
I got this case also, too heavy and thick for my liking. It barely made it through half a day. I can do without

I just bought the Safepwr today from the Local AT&T store for $50. I love it, my inspire had the PowerSkin and this is so much better. Usualy by this time tonight, I have my phone on the charger, it is still fully charged with only half gone off the Safepwr. This alone is giving me twice the battery life.
Just fyi,
I hated the feel of the Vivid compared to the inspire, Long and very hard for me to use the keyboard, with this case it feels real good.
Initially, you have to charge the case with out the phone inserted. Mine took about 4 hours. Make sure that the phone is fully charged. It works great. The case continuously charges the phone. The phone charge icon comes on, when the phone is below full charge. I understand that it is thicker than the phone alone, but you are pretty much adding another battery.

I bought this case for my Vivid on eBay for 15$. I thought it might be a knockoff, but so far everything looks legit. I've yet to try it because this came in before the Vivid (still waiting for my phone to be delivered )
Btw I know this is an OLD topic but just wanted to add my 2 cents in case anyone else is thinking about the case. From what I've read it seems there's a specific way to use the case to get the most out of it.

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.

Agreed.
I am sending them this little note, in case they are willing to consider adding NFC in their battery as an option:
Greetings,
Xda developer Note II forums have mentioned that you are currently developing a Galaxy Note II super capacity battery.
I understand that due to the extreme size of the lithium ion battery, the NFC contacts are no longer exposed, thus NFC cannot be implemented in the battery back cover, as the Samsung and other third parties are currently doing.
I am currently using the Mugen extended battery, that does use NFC in the back cover, and use NFC for google wallet daily.
Although this is none of my business per se, and your product will be very successful, the lack of NFC will deter some users (including the writer of this brief note) from purchasing.
May I offer the suggestion of implementing the NFC back on the battery itself?
Since your battery will effectively sit on top of the NFC contacts, you could wrap around the battery the NFC contacts and implement the NFC on the battery’s back.
This after all is the way NFC is handled on the Samsung GSIII and Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
I understand that this would increase your production costs, so perhaps you could offer two models of the battery, tacking on the extra cost to the customers that would be willing to pay for this. I for one would be more than happy to, and I am sure that you will see the sentiment reflected in the online communities by others too.
I had one of their batteries for my s3. It was amazing. 3 days easy without charging and 10+ hours screen on. This one not having nfc sucks though.

Theoretically, if they don't do it themselves, we could add the nfc as a DIY.
Ebay sells the nfc adhesive strip, which you could attach to the back of the battery, and use contact copper strips to make the connection with the phone work again. I might actually experiment with that once they ship.

The suspense is killing me!
My buddy has the one for the GS3 and while it is bigger the fit and finish can't be beat. It almost looks like they took three batteries and wired them together.
I'm willing to bet that this is going to be a great buy. If i didn't have the Anker and get great battery life already I'd be snapping this up!

I'm gonna see if you can actually mod this with the fake defenders and maybe carry an actual brick in my pocket of I buy it.

Just FYI for those of us who got lucky and got an opportunity to test this case and provide a review, check your email. I received my code this morning and it's only valid for about 24 hours. I paid for 1 day shipping and will get it tomorrow. I will update this thread with my review once I'm done with my testing.

Sweet looking forward to your review.
If anyone from ZL is reading this thread, might want to correct your case description on the website:
"We at Zerolemon knows how to make battery right for you. With 3500mAh battery installed, you will get 130% additional power for your Galaxy S6 Edge. With the small battery and big LCD screen in Galaxy S6, you will be glad you are carrying this battery case around!"
Samsung phones have AMOLED screens, not LCD.
I got my email and paid for 1 day shipping as well! We'll see how good they are. I got black, you?
I am excited about the case as well. I just accepted the free shipping so it will be to me on Saturday. Very nice of them to offer up free cases for us to review.

i got black as well.. i didn't see options for different colors? I would have chosen black either way cuz my phone is black..
Yea, only black option for me as well. Cant wait to test it out!

Yeah black was the only option. I was confusing myself with the ones they offer through their website. My edge is white but it should look good. I'm interested to test out NFC with it too.
Is the offer still available for testers? Link if possible?

Getting mine in tomorrow.... cant wait to test it out. We'll see how "slim" it is.
Initial pictures. One thing I noticed off the bat was it doesn't sit flush on the edges where the volume buttons are and the sound seems to be extremely muffled.

Dam that just ruins the whole look of the s6/edge. Lol so ugly.
What I noticed about this case also is the bottom edge sits really close to the home button. If you put your thumb flat it dosent even touch the home button. You literally have to go at it at an angle. Feels very plasticy and makes the edge look so ugly

Correct. Initial impression is not very good. Feels cheap, charges very slow, doesn't fit right, muffles sound. And I had to remove my front and side skins to get this thing on thinking I might use it for awhile...

That's the nail in the coffin for me then. I'm going after their 20000mah 3.0A charger with debrand stickers (or a case maybe)
Why would anyone ruin their beautiful phone with this fugly monstrosity. Why!

free and to provide a review........
This kind of case with extended battery might be a hot thing few years ago, but now with all these new technology like power bank, wireless charging, new fast charging from Qualcomm in both wall and car charger. makes these old thing obsolete.
Pair this with S6 Edge, that's even a bigger sin by itself.

I agree but i also think its time for phone makers to start thinking more of new battery technology and less processor and new designs. However. .. my opinion is they will do away with big bulky phones, go with the new flexible screen and cloud service. Same with laptops and desktops.
i forgot to hit one day shipping when i got my code and mine comes Thursday.
i have purchased other items from them in the past and been very happy and not reading reviews here at all yet so i dont go in looking for stuff and its a clean slate in my head
Hello,
I am looking for a recommendation for a protective (mostly from falls) battery case. With my old phone(kyocera brigadier) I didn't have to worry about a case, so I don't know what's good, bad, or recommended. Why a battery case? My cell service is terrible. I would also prefer it to have or to fit in a holster.
Also I haven't really heard/found a clear answer on screen protectors: should I get one and, of so, what one should I get?
Thanks

You check out ZeroLemon yet? Or anyone else? I debating on to buy or not. Trusted brand so might be worth it.
A friend of mine bought the ZeroLemon 10,000mah and he loves it. I believe he said he gets like 4 to 5 days of power with it.

He drop it at all? What was outcome if so?

He said he's dropped it a few times and didn't suffer any screen damage if anything the battery case suffered some scuffs & scratches. The only mistake he made was turning the battery case on and thinking it would continue to charge the phone. He didn't know that once the phone reached 100% the battery case stops charging the phone. His phone drained over night and in the morning he couldn't charge the phone or power it up. So he has the Sprint version of the Note 8's that suffers from that battery drain glitch.

I know it isn't the cheapest case out there but I love my Mophie Juice Pack. It looks like the best out of all the battery cases I have seen and Mophie's Customer Service is rock solid. If you are willing to spend a little more for aesthetics, the Mophie is the way to go.
