Galaxy S7 edge Wireless Charging Battery Pack Case

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EP-TG935BSUGUS
Anyone ordering this? a combined 7000 mAh sounds amazing... The specs say it will charge the s7 edge 1/2 way so it's like having an s7 edge with 5400 mah instead of the 3600mah.
Too bad the battery case doesn't charge wirelessly also. That'd be cool.
I searched the model # and found a few sites selling for under retail, but the sites authenticity seems sketchy.
For example,
$66 here http://www.compsource.com/pn/EPTG93...harging-Pk-Black-Eptg935bbugus-Eptg935bbugus/
or
$72 here http://www.pcconnection.com/product/samsung-pk-wrls-charging-blk-pwr/ep-tg935bbugus/31604712

No. too big for me.

I'm going to live with the 3600mAh battery in the phone for a while and see how it goes, but I had been using the Mophie case for my S6 edge and grown used to the extra bulk. It's not bad once you get used to it and the phone seems tiny and fragile when you take it out, but I never had to worry about battery life with it.
But, if I do look for a battery case, I will definitely look at the Mophie over this for a couple of reasons:
- Mophie charges wirelessly so I can just drop it on a pad at night (or wherever)
- Mophie has a chin - I hate how easy it is to hit the back button when picking up the phone
- Mophie delivers more power per weight/volume to the phone because it isn't using an inefficient interface to supply power to the phone
Basically, I find the chin on the Mophie to be a feature. I frequently start the phone doing something and then put it down and may need to pick it up again. With the way the capacitive buttons are arranged on the bare phone I often hit the back button by accident thereby killing the operation I was monitoring. I also frequently have friends hit the back button when I hand them my phone to show them something, and the chin cuts way down on that.
Additionally, Mophie uses the wireless charging where it matters more to me. I could care less how the case delivers power to the phone because it will likely stay there for a while so "drop on, lift off" convenience is irrelevant. I care far more about how the case will connect to my "infinite supply of electrons" when I charge it. Realistically the phone will live in the case so the ease of connection to the case is a once a month kind of thing, but the ease of connection to the wall is an every day and sometimes twice kind of thing. Also, when I charge it I care a lot less about efficiency than I do when I consider how much weight of battery I have to carry around compared to how many electrons that battery will end up delivering to my phone. Efficiency is much more important between case and phone that it is between wall plug and phone.

samsungs own and would be interested if there was a zero leamon version.

if any of you have this, can it charge other phone? i mean if we put other smaller phone who have the ability of wireless charging also, into the battery case, will it charge?

I don't see why it wouldn't work. Not so long ago I made a mistake of getting my S6E+ a Samsung wireless battery case. My S7E charging via the aforementioned wireless charging case.

Nice! Should be postin' something like that too! lol! Yes, it should work fine charging it wirelessly.

Is the case water-resistant?
I go on long runs with my Galaxy S5 and always carry a spare battery. Even if it is pouring rain, I don't have to worry since my Galaxy S5 is water-resistant. Is the Samsung Galaxy S7 Backpack water-resistant also? It would make sense, but I have no idea what corporate Samsung higher-ups decided to green light. Also, if it isn't, does anyone know if other battery cases for Galaxy S7 (Edge especially) are water-resistant. Like the Morphie battery case perhaps?

The Mophie cases for the S5 and S6 Edge both have "keep dry and away from moisture" in their manuals. The S7 case doesn't have full specs listed yet, but they've already announced that it will support wireless charging so they've obviously tweaked the design some from previous generations - as to whether the new design goals included water resistance, only time will tell...

I like the idea but the one issue I see is that it will protect the phone except for the front. If they could have extended the 4 corners out a few mill then it would help protect the edge screen. I'm sure there will be better designs coming out soon

Going nuts waiting for Samsung to finally ship this thing. Running with a naked phone and it's killing my fingers due to the careful way I need to hold it to avoid unintended edge touches.
Come on Samsung. This is torture.

Could you not use an external wireless battery. May wait for zerolemon or mopine

Yeah.... I thought about that and then made the wrong choice of thinking Samsung would be motivated to have this ready for launch. Now I'm stuck in the loop. I can order another one from ebay and it may take several days to arrive during which the other one may show up. hehe
Of course what would it matter at that price?

Bought a Steck to tide me over after calling Samsung and getting word that their battery case is delayed until 4/22 now. Really?

Wow 4/22?? I placed my order last week and they said it was shipping mid-March and then got an email yesterday saying it was on backorder. I considered cancelling but I got the 30% off deal on it so I'll wait. In the mean time I'm using the Spigen Tough Armor case which is working nicely.

Update: My battery case is arriving today so that backorder seems to be cleared. Can't wait!

Nice! Update us please! I've been on the fence for too long only if mophie has silver...

Wonder if it would fit on an S6 Edge...

5200 case battery

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Battery Case, 5200 mAh Charger Rechargeable Backup Portable External Power Pack for Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Black) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01DJC492K/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awd_AOvexb28AXDGR this isn't bad for the price. Seems to have pass though charging too.
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app

This looks quite fishy for me. The whole deal is hard to believe. I don't believe that it holds 5200 mAh power. Since it's been a while since you wrote this post, I want to ask if you still have this pack? Are you satisfied? I would always go with a Zerolemon or an Incipio. I was considering I-blades also since I can get extra memory and a whole bunch of other functionalities. What are your thoughts on this?

These are fairly generic looking battery backs. I have wrote a review about the SAVFY one which looks identical. I doubt they're 5200Mah as well..... it's simply too small. It might be a 4200Mah though.

Maybe there's a way I can test?

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.

[Accessory] Zerolemon Massive 10K battery case

https://zerolemon.com/products/galaxy-note-20-ultra-battery-case-10000mah
Many old school XDA members already know this case well, but for new people to the Note series (i.e. Apple converts, etc..) , I thought to write a li'l bit about the Zerolemon 10K case.
I have used Zerolemon's battery cases for years. I am a Galaxy Note series user.
The Note is a powerful device and oftentimes I am out in the wild with no access to shore power.
That's where this case comes in.
I only get the 10K cases and, despite the bulk, I can continue to use my Note 20 in max performance mode out on locations with no worries about losing power. I was able to squeeze about 2 full charges and had some residual charge left to get me back to about 43%. This is with discharging the battery down to less than 10% (usually I would charge at 9%).
The older cases did not allow DEX mode, but with the Note 20 Ultra 5G, you can use DEX wirelessly.
I was able to use wired headphones (AKG N90Q) and still able to wireless charge.
Build quality on the case is what you expect from Zerolemon: Top rate. The rubber is grippy and protects the rear cameras. The case also provides some safety for the front screen.
I received the case with one led lit. All leds were lit in about ~2.5-3 hours. the power button on the Note 10+ last year was really sensitive in that you could turn it on inadvertently. With this years model for the 20 Ultra, the buttons has been more like it was on the Note 9.. it was not as easy to press.
Mounting the phone in the case is straightforward, and I have it down to a science.
Bonus - the Note 10+ belt clip case works with this years case! I have attached a photo showing the belt case from the Note 10+ with the 20 Ultra in it. The only way to get this to work is to have the phones screen faced into the case, so if you still have the belt clip, you can use it that way or have it as a stop gap until Zerolemon comes out with the proper one.
Caveats is the case does not allow super fast charging. This is known from the description so it is not a shock. The other caveat is bulk - if this is an issue for some, the 5K case is a good alternative.
Didn't test out Samsung Pay. This is not something I use anyway even without the case as I prefer to use my Samsung Watch3 LTE to make MST purchases. I will say, on my last Note 10+ 10K battery case, I DID use Samsung Pay and it DID work, so I is possible it will work on the 20 Ultra.
In closing, I've used these cases for years on a few Note series devices. This is my first must have accessory when I get the Note.
Now, only if they can make one for the Z Fold2 5G....

A number of things I don't like about this type of case.
Lithium fires are no trivial thing, and now you have doubled the amount. If one battery has cataclysmic failure it will take the other one out as well.
It makes it harder for the phone to dissipate heat.
It adds a lot of weight and especially with a face plant landing increases the odds of severe damage.
Signal issues.
Adds a lot of bulk to already large phone.
For these reasons I think it's better to take advantage of the large native battery and make use of its fast charging capability than to hang another battery on it.

It looks very industrial. Kinda purpose built. I mean why not get a fast charge battery pack? This looks ghastly. Just going against everything note 20 ultra tried to achieve with its design language. I agree Samsung could have gone for 5000mah battery but I don't think this case is the solution to that problem.

the battery case is NOT for everyone. Ive been using these cases for years and never had any issues with them.
im not concerned about lithium fires. this product has been reliable in my several years use of them on different note phones over that time.

Looks cool!

Back in 2010, I used to rock an iPhone 3g. I had used incase power slider and a mophie juice pack with it. At that time, the iphone screen was 3.5" and with the battery case it was not uncomfortable to hold the phone and those cases followed the same design philosophy of the phone itself. Well I wouldn't dare to say they looked as good but they didn't take away much. BUT now our phones have become massive it's really cumbersome to use a battery case let alone a 10,000mah. I still wouldn't have minded the 5000mah but man I am a sucker for design. There is absolutely no sense of design here with zerolomon cases. It takes away from the aesthetics of the phone.

yall are preaching to the choir. the case will not win any awards in design.
the case is for functional reasons. i dont expect anyone to use this case on a daily basis, but for those who will be away from shore power for whatever reason, this case delivers.
the case is not going to allow fast charging for heat related reasons. this is totally understandable given the massive amount of battery in the case and phone. cant have it all.

That's a great case for traveling. Not that I remember what that was like. Using maps, taking pictures, all those are things that use up my battery life in a half a day. This would have been great traveling through in Asia. I used the Samsung brick though which was ok, but quirky.

I got a battery charging case for my Note 9, I think it was one of those deals where you buy it, review it, and they pay you back. I used it maybe twice. Since the case is so huge I always regretted putting it on to recharge my phone and leaving my regular case at home or in the car.

That's a big boy right there.

Reminds me of one of these:

i love it, already ordered it. i have the 5k now and cant wait to have the 10k. i have had zero lemon since my note 4 i believe. every phone

I've been using Zerolemon battery cases for many years, starting with Samsungs original Note, always hacking them to increase functionality.
Currently on Note 20 Ultra I made two physical hacks to the Zerolemon case.
In the photos enclosed you can see what I'm describing. It's not pretty, but works and adds to the cases utility as far as I'm concerned.
First — the USB—C charging port is only passthrough for USB—C cables, doesn't work for Dex with HDMI, so I needed physical access to the phone's USB port, so it wouldn't have to be removed from the case. So I cut the case around the charging port — as it's logically connected by film cable. This way I can plug it in and have the battery charge the phone. But it can also quickly be unplugged and an HDMI hub plugged in.
Second, there is significant empty space next to the phone's camera on the back, which just sits in the battery casing empty. It's actually nice the battery case stays thick there too. I cut the plastic case there and made an incision in the foam plastic battery case on the outside.
This way I have the full area next to the camera as a container — I put USB flashdrives there, whatever I want to have with me all the time and don't have to carry it outside. This container in the battery becomes a nice carrying pouch for small items.
I recommended to make these amends - in a nicer industrially designed way - to Zerolemon for their future note battery case versions, alas they didn't respond... :O)

Why not just buy a portable power bank? This case looks like it turns your phone into a brick! Def a hard pass for me.
