Wireless Battery Pack Case from Samsung? - Galaxy Note5 Accessories

Anyone else see this case from Samsung? Looks like it wirelessly charges your phone, but at the same time, looks WAY too small to have any useful capacity. There's no info on it other than what's in the picture. Here's the link to the page I found it on: http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/galaxy-note5/charging/

I saw that too and have been trying to find some additional information on it, but haven't been able to find anything so far.

i did a little scouring and barely found anything. only some canadian shops are listing it now as a preorder. samsung's hong kong site has a news clip on it.
http://www.samsung.com/hk_en/news/product/s6-edge-plus-note-5-accessory
Here's some samsung part numbers for future reference if it ever becomes widely available.
Gold: EP-TN920BFUG
Silver: EP-TN920BSUG

too small to own
Yes, I noticed the case too, and think the same with you, too small to own. But I think my Note 5 don't need a case. The manufacturing processes and body designs of Note 5 are very good. I see someone upload a video in YouTube about testing the breakness of Note 5 and IPhone 6+. I believe in the results.

Did some more digging myself and was able to get a hold of someone who knew something about the case from Samsung. Here's what I found:
-It does charge the phone wirelessly and can charge from 0-100% in 2 hours.
-3400mAh battery (found from iahk's link).
-It's much more thick than the picture makes it appear. It actually ends up being a little over twice the thickness of a bare Note 5.
-The back is solid and covers the camera so if you want to take a picture you'll need to take the phone out of the case.
-There are two sets of LEDs. One on the left side to tell you if the case is on or off, and a few on top to tell you how much charge you have left in the case.
-The case charges via micro USB at the top center of the case.
-There's a dedicated power button on the case to turn it off when you don't want it charging your phone.
That's all the info I could get on it yesterday. Hopefully we'll get more images of it soon and maybe a release date.

here are few pictures. will be available only in two colors as gold and silver.

Great find! Thanks!

the port side... so it is a spare battery with a wireless chargeplate built in

You can see it on this page also. http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/galaxy-note5/accessories/

You're confusing the battery pack with the battery case. There's a back cover/case that charges the phone!

Here's video coverage of it that came out the other week. https://youtu.be/Tzv0XTYPAvU?t=2m5s

Nice :laugh:

Anybody found where to buy?!

Yeah I can't find it anywhere... I there is a preorder of it online at: http://www.techshopone.ca/?item=13-30118
But god only knows when its going to actually ship. I'd rather wait until they're ready to ship before they bill me / I get locked into them. eBay has nothing.

Just checked the Samsung online accessory store - still not shown for sale there -
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/
- although it is shown as a valid accessory in their sales-related site -
http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/galaxy-note5/
I GUESS the best way to find it anywhere and to know for sure when it is available is to keep checking the Samsung accessory store in the first link... AAARRRRRRGGGGHHHHH *^@*&^#@&^%

Still haven't seen it online anywhere
Samsung Part # EP-TN920 or maybe EP-TN920BSUG
UPC Code 887276114675
Looks like a 3x of the Gold are up on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-EP-...420905?hash=item3d075b2d29:g:okMAAOSwT5tWKAH0
But after checking the review, looks like it won't charge it to 100% due to the losses from the wireless charging:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/accessories/samsung-wireless-charging-pack-review-t3232869
Could be a skip for cheaper ones on eBay that have a physical connection...

Here's a link to the battery case from samsung's site.

Thank you, I've been waiting so long for this!

what a stupid battery pack. Wheres the hole for the camera?? It makes it a bit pointless . I wanted a battery pack for days out when I need extra juice ie taking pics during the day.
I went with Zerolemon. Its perfect and provides 2 days normal use and easily more then a day heavy use..

the HTC HD2 Extended Battery (HTC-EBATHD2), which they expect to arrive in February 2010 and which promises to double battery life.
Minimum capacity of 2200mAH.
http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=12365
http://www.clove.co.uk/viewProduct.aspx?product=6C9DA87E-F55C-4BE1-ACD7-3AC07A7E6635
Actually, this is a good idea if you don't mind the thickness of the battery but with the Kick Stand is very cool.
Wonder when it will be available in Singapore HTC Service Centre?
So we can get double the battery life at the expense of it no longer fitting in holsters et cetera?
No thanks.
I think it looks quite cool, but I have doubts it will be out in Feb. Our HTC guy says
"Not released yet due to approval status. Hope to be able to send out more details next month."
and that is just more details not the product itself.
That kickstand looks very handy, not so keen on the thickness but I guess that's what you get with so much power.

Given that my HD2 has been known to go from 100% battery to zero in less than 9 hours without even coming out of stand-by, this can't come soon enough for me.
render looks nice, but how will it be looking in real?
If you compare the thickness of this HD2 with the extended battery to the combination of iPhone and Mophie Juice Pack then this is essentially thinner and definitely more attractive.
I would get one as soon as it arrives at Germany.
good idea with kickstand, but in my point its need a bluetooth keyboard to support, because we should touch the screen more carefully when it stand.

check this out its a bluetooth keyboard you can connect and is definitely pocketable:
http://cache.gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2007/02/btkeyboard.jpg
i was thinking of using it in conjunction with the new extended kickstand. i think it looks awesome. i have an extended battery with my g1 which is hella chunky so this wont bother me one bit since more longevity, sleek looking and functionality (kickstand) i can see myself doing work on it more.
Cost of both: £80 (might be able to get it less for both)
I think the extended battery and kick stand will be great for watching movies, slideshows and the media player. What would make it even nicer would be for Sense to have a landscape mode as well.... Is this in the 2.xx ROM?
I want this !
I'm dreaming of that since weeks. After seeing that image weeks ago I felt immediately in love with it. ;-)
I really hope that this is gonna look as shown on that image. Once thats out there will be hopefully new cases considering the size with extended battery
Nice that they have made that battery...but there is no information about its cappacity?
Original stock battery's cappacity is 1230mah if I'm correct...what's the new one's?
Something around 2200 if I'm not mistaken.
http://www.devicewire.co.uk/official-htc-hd2-extended-battery
Yikes! Price: £51.08! That's $82 for ya'll Stateside. Seems pretty pricey to me...
And for us TMO HD2 owners...
Does anyone know if this extended battery will fit the US TMO HD2 version? I'm seriously thinking about getting one, but have my concerns about it not fitting, as some HD2 cases do not fit the TMO version...
And can someone post a link to that cool bluetooth keyboard that was posted above?
what would be even better is if it incorporated a charger just like the palm pre touchstone or the power mat

How is this relevant to the HD2?
Behold!
amazing! very very nice
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET very retro ma man cool
Cool
this has got to be one of the most innovative accessories ever =) i have to ask: where can i get one? again, well done mate!
cheers
This one must be the one and only accessory we would need for our HD2. We should name it "How to turn your HD2 into HD7".
amazing :-D can you send me one?
found some in ebay, did a search and they're around 20 or so bucks from the uk or hong kong =)
a little curious though. the iphone's back surface is more "glossy" which imo works well with the plunger. given that the hd2's back is not the same, wonder if this will affect the plunger clinging on the surface...
I wonder what I will tell security or customs at the airport when they find this?
That's probably one of the longest crap for someone to sit through and thought that a plunger is the perfect novelty idea for a phone's kickstand
Very creative
OMG, this is iGreat!!!!
You can find it on Amazon for $6-7 a pop. It's sold by Perpetual Kid. It was originally designed for the iPhone but I bit the bullet and bought it to use for the HD2 and it works perfectly.
£4.99 incl P&P form Amazon UK, just ordered one thanks
That looks great!
How long does it stand?
Because I read on Amazon.co.uk the following review:
"But I haven't been able to make this thing work for periods longer than 5 minutes. Might be because I'm using it on an iPhone 4? Slightly disappointing and not that cheap. "
Does it fall off after 5 minutes? Or does it work for hours?
shouldnt it be white?
finally got one, found it being sold in a apple store quite near (5 bucks).
the good news: it does work on the hd2 despite my previous concern on the back surface not being as glossy as that of an iphone's
the bad news: if you were to stick the plunger towards the middle, expect it to pop out in like 5 or less minutes. must be the weight that's pulling down given the "angle". thus, i wouldn't recommend plugging it to give a 30' view. i plugged it towards the side giving it a 10'-15' view and it stayed on for like 2 hours (i think).

Thanks for the update Robson!
That makes things clear for me; I don't buy it. It's to dangerous if it falls down when I put it in a train or something. I don't want to take the risk. And I also don't want to make a profession of applying a iPlunger It should just work 100%, easy.
Sad to hear because it looked like a cool thing to buy for my HD2.

Cheap Case Review (Lots of pics!)

Hey everyone, I'm back with another review with lots of pictures again. Some of the pictures were taken with my Galaxy Note 2, and even though they are some fantastic pictures, I took out another camera to take pictures with the case on the phone.
To be honest, this is a case that I thought I wouldn't recommend to anyone because it was a cheapo case and it feels CHEAP! I mean, REALLY cheap! But once it's on the phone, it actually feels really good in hand and then it gives it a textured back that will for sure not let you drop it as easily!
Enough of my blabbing.
This is how it came:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You can find this case in a ton of different colors.
The buttons don't feel like they're going to click, but they're actually really clicky once it's on the case. It isn't as good as the original case that I reviewed last week, but for the price, it's good and you can feel the raised buttons.
Port holes are HUGE! I mean, every place there is an opening, this case makes it a lot bigger than it really needs to be! Check these pictures out.
Compare the hole for the speaker, or the pen silo!
And the camera hole
There is a higher lip on the case, so you can put it face down on the table and the screen won't touch the table.
I actually bought this case a week before I got my Note 2, and it just got here a few days ago. Ironic that I ordered it to have a case right away and it is the 4th case I got in the mail. Lol. I like the case, but it honestly doesn't compare to the Original case that I reviewed. It does have some good points and some bad ones. I like the texture, but it has massive port holes. I don't like how it makes my phone look though, but you can judge that for yourself. I'm going to stick to the original case. But it's not bad at all for the price that it is on eBay!
Would I recommend it? Yeah.
Are there better cases? For sure.
Better cases for the price? Probably not.
Hit thanks if this review has helped you or you just like the pics Or if you'd like me to continue reviewing cases I buy .
Thanks for reading
These can be bought for $3.99 each (there might be other listings for lower price than this) from ebay.com

I've ordered from here before. Shipping takes forever unless you pay for faster shipping but it's legit and I got about 10 cases for my original note from there. They were only 86 cents! One of the best sites I've come across. The only problem I've run into is the pictures don't exactly represent the exact item. Like I ordered a case and the picture showed it transparent but it was really solid blue.

Homemade Car Magnet Stand

I do a lot of homework comparing specs when shopping for devices, but always forget to consider accessories.
I guess I am also cheap, but spending 75$ + on smartphone holder seems silly.So, like with my GNex it's time to build docks and stands again.
More will come, this time with turbo charging and Qi instead of pogo pins.
This stand was a quickie until I get a chance to do more serious tinkering.
The section base is from an old broken and undersized universal stand
The main bracket is from some IKEA cabinet I cant find link to.
The magnets are neodymium similar to BAC6 BAC6
The rest is random screws & bolts from the junk box.
I still need to cut/drill the bracket to allow for connection of car charger, pics to follow when I get access to tools next week. It holds good on kevlar back especially with the slight support from bracket lip underneath. Finding a good suction surface in the car is another story...
I open the floor to questions.

Thus the home-made in the title.
There are a little bit less than ZERO accesories for sale here in Norway,, and I enjoy tinkering.
If you check out the Galaxy Nexus forum there were many people creating their own cool docks and chargers.
I don't use the phone as a status symbol, so it doesn't bother me.
I won't switch to an iPhone just for the accessories so I gotta make my own.

You are right, that would be cool. I wish they would make a screen protector that wraps around the back of the phone and connects into the battery-- the screen protector could be a mini solar panel, and any light the screen sees would be converted in to energy. How about that for an idea?

that's an interesting thought. But the issue with be the solar panel but the circuitry to regulate and control the power. A phone case would be thick enough though. Intergrate seven Qi wireless solar power charging. Boom!
Edit: I used speak to text to write that. You have failed me Google. But I'm not fixing it, figure it out
Nice bit of handy work. How comes you didn't just go for one of those universal type holders? There's plenty available on the market with most shipping to Norway?
Either way, good work on the one you made :good:

I don't think you can apply for it. A few months ago ZeroLemon's account had a thread up asking for people to review items. I responded to it. I don't think they take new reviewers once the product is released.

uhh,ok, thanks for your notification, I found their reviewer plan on official website, maybe that's the one worth to try...
I like that it moves the speaker holes, guess it bounces in the case just like it would bounce off the palm of whoever is holding it. Waiting for reviews to get posted here before buying.
Ill have a review up tomorrow.
But ill give you the tl;dr now.
Buy it, it is worth it if you have need for an extended battery and can live with a little extra bulk (its not actually that bulky this time).

I charged it in the battery cradle until the light went green, took it out, put it in the phone, used it until it went down to 99%, and put it back on the charger overnight.
