Guys, I'm going to be launching a wireless charging phone sleeve on Kickstarter (Novelsys ampere) in January for the Nexus 6. The unique selling point will be the Smart app that communicates with the sleeve.
I'm doing research for the launch now to determine what features to incorporate in this app:
Display estimated battery life in hrs of phone and ampere
Control when charging starts
find your phone or ampere when one is missing
notifications to recharge at time or location
What other features would you like to see? I've recently posted in the S5 and Nexus 5 forums too, and I've been told not to dilute the product, which I agree with heartily. These are the features I've narrowed it down to. What other things do you think we need to bake in? It will probably be open to developers post-Kickstarter.
I myself use a Nexus 4 with Qi built in but I haven't found a satisfactory wireless charging solution yet... that's kinda why I worked on my own.
See more about the product: http://kickstarter.novelsys.co
Just subscribed on your website
Okay so this is meant to protect the phone and charge it at the same time? Im assuming there is a battery inside the case as well as a qi transmitter?
That's right. Paired with an app. And higher build quality than from your typical Qi charger. What do you think about the idea?
Subscribed as well...if you need a beta tester let me know.

Looks excellent, but you need to figure out a solution to why sleeves suck, they either have no top and don't hold the phone well or are too tight.
As long as it comes in black so I can keep it on with my uniform!
I'll beta if I need to as well!
Would you like my wallet now, or later?
Seriously, I hope this will be as good as it sounds.
Yes its black, and the internal colour has been changed from orange to grey so its more suitable for corporate environments!
That's an interesting perspective on sleeves. Yes will take that into account when testing.
aiight, im jumping on the bandwagon too. :fingers-crossed:
just subb'ed and am following you cats on instagram...
I think I'm getting a QI enabled power bank for Christmas..... But a sleeve makes much more sense! I think its a great idea. Definitely more secure and will keep the QI aligned to ensure it stays charging.
Any info about the mah of the sleeve for the Nexus 6. Would need to be enough to charge the device at least twice in my opinion.
What about a using magnets to help secure the phone inside the sleeve instead of just tension?

honestly seems like a pretty good idea, the potential problems I see for this are targeting the correct consumer base. The phone is already big, this will make it huge, therefore its not going in anyones pocket. So, who carries phones around not in a pocket? People that have other places to put them, who has other places to put them?
1. Women (in their purse)
2. Older executives in a briefcase maybe?
3. College kids who might carry a backpack?
I may be wrong, but as much as I would like something like this, its just too inconvenient not to have my phone in my pocket. There's still some clip phone people out there, maybe adding a clip would help? Just my 2 cents, love the idea, just concerned its not being designed for the right demographic aesthetically.
The problem for me as others have mentioned is the bulkiness of the sleeve. When you add in the 3,000mah battery (assuming it would at least be this size) and coils for qi charging it's going to pretty thick. I'm Ok with that because this would be on my visor in my work truck, but wouldn't go great in pocket.
if you are taking the no idea is a bad idea approach, what if you incorporated this into a car mount with the display revealed, so every day I got into my car I could slide it in, and it would charge, then I could slide it out and take it with me, or if I KNEW i was going to need extra battery, I could detach the whole thing and clip it to a belt or throw it in a pack?

Agree with this idea!
I don't mean to intercept, but in the meantime and between time...
I've received this pouch/sleeve (handmade) and posted a bit about it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57285596&postcount=42
This pouch/sleeve has a front pocket and I slid in one of the Fone Qi Stone+ wireless portable chargers I use in that pouch and boom! Portable charging on the go.
Very cool idea man. I'll back that.
It looks promising, is there rough price range for the sleeve?

That's a pretty sweet idea! Maybe that could come as a stretch goal or in the next iteration of ampere. I originally included a pocket at the back of the sleeve for cards and cash but didn't like the aesthetics/ bulk of it. That could actually have been space for a belt clip. Hmm. I could find some way to hack around it maybe.... thanks for the brilliant idea.

Please, feel free to share. I've been searching tirelessly for potential competitors too so I can learn how to improve ampere's user experience.
You know what, that's where I got the idea for ampere too, but I think I've made ampere sufficiently sexy, slim, and seamless with alignment + smart charging app that you'll at least consider it over that? If you must know, that was what I put together for the MVP (prototype) to prove product validation. So I guess you can say you just recreated ampere v1.

I thought about magnets too, but the sleeve itself helps with securing the phone and alignment. Magnets would make it harder to get the phone out of the sleeve, and would necessitate some kind of strap to lift the phone out, which in turn adds some to bulk.

I completely understand, either way it looks like a nice idea, and a convenient way to charge your phone.
So let me start off by saying the battery life on the s7 Edge is amazing. This case is only something you might need if you plan on being away from a charger for a while or are a very heavy user.... that being said, this case is great. I just got it so stay tuned for updates on how well it works. For how long ive used it though it seems like it charges the phone pretty fast and the wireless charging works well with the chotech fast wireless charging pad. It is pretty heavy, but nothing rediculous. The thickness is what i dislike the most but it is still pocketable.
Does anyone else have an issue with the screen protectors being lifted up be cases? I have a couple spigen cases and they always lift up my screen protector. It drives me crazy but the mophie one is just designed better. It doesnt lift at all..
On a side note, the speaker port isnt totally aligned but I havent noticed any issue with sound or the microphone. I will keep this post updated with findings.

No problem. Also, quick update battery with the case is REDICULOUS. If you werent a power user like me you could squeeze 2 maybe 3 days out of the phone with this thing
in the other thread they are liking the samsung one more, i wonder why? is it that much thinner or maybe they hate the lip?
hmmm $99 for 3300mah (gives about 60% juice?) a little too exy for me, but the case does make it very convenient, way better than carrying around a slim powerbank.

Yea, that makes sense, the reason i picked this one is because the case has wireless charging so i dont have to plug anything in. Whereas the samsung one wirelessly charges the phone, but you do have to plug it in. They both seem legit though.

Its for sure one of those things that you dont need, but it is super nice to have.
I got both. I wanted to try em and keep the one I like best. After a week with each, I have decided to keep the Sammy. I am a heavy user and I need juice everyday. I could fast charge at work or in the car for 30 mins. But having a battery case is so much easier and I kind of like the thicker and heavier grip with it on.
Both of them charge at about same speed, mophie slightly quicker. The mophie gives it about an extra 10% more. The obvious difference is the wireless charging of the mophie case which uses the phones micro USB port to charge. The Sammy case charges up by plugging the charger into its micro USB port and charges the device wireless. That is a personal preference. I think the Sammy fits and feels a ton better. That was the difference for me. I can pop the phone in and out effortlessly from the Sammy case as well.

Yea i might get the samsung one still, idk but i def like the mophie one.
samsung feels better but it charges so slow that its almost laughable, and the problem with the samsung seems if you use it while its charging you only get about 25-30% battery
Does either case Cover the micro usb port on phone? I use OTG alot and don't want to have to take the case off.

Its a little of both. The case is smooth to the touch, but there is definitly a battery in there. So its pretty hard. But soft enough that your phone wont get scrathed by the case itself

You gotta hold it for a while, its more like 5 seconds. Youll see the lights on the back flash. If the case is charging though itll auto charge the phone.

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.

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.

Hey everyone,
I thought I'd share the news with you all.
I spoke to the customer support and they've told me that the new ZeroLemon 10,000mAh Battery Case release was delayed and should be available for order around October 20th.
Since October 20th is actually Friday, I am assuming we would be able to order it the following week, anywhere between October 22nd-27th.
Those of you with the 5,500mAh, are you satisfied? Will you be upgrading to the 10,000mAh version?
Happy noting,
Omga4000
I sure will order the case if it's available. Cant wait to see it
5500 is more than enough for me. That 10k will be a beast!!!

Video reviews when y'all find em, please. Not too keen on that giant bottom lip. Would rather the battery case be evenly measured around the frame of the phone, if you get what I'm saying.
I bought a ZeroLemon for my S8, I hated two things about it:
1. It needs an adapter to use the headphone jack.
2. The tiny "speaker box" (the cavity doesn't direct audio to the two vents, one is just cosmetic) muffles the sound A LOT!
1.) Not a fast charger
2.) Not enough drop protection
No thanks.

1) Why would a fast charge matter to you in this case? (see what I did there?)
If I activate the case when the phone is at 50% and it remains on 50% for the entire day, that's good enough for me.
Though I seriously doubt that will happen - even if it does, I personally am looking to extend my usage time - not increase my battery percentage throughout the day.
2) That is true. You would need a full edge-to-edge screen protector with this one, and in case of a flat drop on the screen - it might not be saved.
Then again, from what I've read no case will really help in that situation, so might as well get a charging case.

Look at the "chin" of the case. It's a flawed design and this extension extends the distant from the edge of the case to the headphone jack. So, you need a headphone jack extension adaptor to use headphones.
THat's why I returned my ZeroLemon and refuse to buy another until they fix this design.
Mophie juice packs and several other brands on Amazon don't require headphone jack adaptor and don't muffle the speaker audio.

5500 mah model will probably be the same dimensions as the 10000 model.
That's how it was with my S8 case. I thought the lower capacity one was a slimmer size, nope. It uses the same outer case to save them tooling money. The battery inside is just less dense and lighter but the whole thing is the same size.

Definitely not, watch the video they posted in the OP its a brick. I have the 5500 and its only slightly larger around the middle to bottom of the phone, the 10k will be an all around brick.

I'm just speaking of my experience when I bought the ZL for my S8. The small capacity model was the same size as the high capacity model.
Does yours have the fake speaker cutouts?
Does it require a headphone jack extension adaptor to use headphones?
I was wanting the 10000 but its the worst design ever from zerolemon it makes the phone even longer I might buy the 5500 that looked nicer and will fit my needs .. it's way to bulky
I want to know what your first hand experiences are with the 10,000 mah battery case. I had the 10,000 mah battery for my Note 3 and loved it. If people think this thing makes the Note 8 too big, then lets take a break and scroll down memory lane to touch tone wireless home phones. While it makes the Note 8 big, it is still technically "Small".

yes, have ~5hrs screenon time with my poco. i need more.
Xiaomi poco F1
yes i also consider this issue in Xiaomi poco. But on the other side, the company promised every user that they are aware of the issues and are working on a fix for all of them. They also update the software to fix the bugs.
I would love to have just a little more battery for my F1 adding Qi as if it was possible, but I can't find any satisfying solution. So I will try to built my own case with aprox 1k battery, Qi and retaining full access to all connectors...

I wouldn't bother with an extra 1000 may - go big or you won't notice the benefit
Qi coils with USB-C plugs are available cheaply on AliExpress. No problem to insert one inside a flexible case. The problem I can't get round is the need for a USB-C passthrough connector, so you can retain access to the socket. If you know what you're doing and are very confident in your soldering you might be able to fashion a solution, but I wouldn't risk it myself

I already have a QiCoil and I am building around the passthrough connector as for now I couldn't find any. The QiCoil is about 4 Slips including a load balancer. The Foil-battery is only 1.8mm thick so my construction will add 2.4mm to the Pocophone

I'll be really interested to hear how making the passthrough connector goes. Post back if you can!
Good luck!

Until today some things happened. Sadly I still couldn't even find a proper working USB-C solution. Actually I use a highly modified CFR-case and a flat Y-shaped adapter I built myself, but this doesn't work good with the Qi-coils. With fastcharge connected, the F1 is beaming energy everywhere else but into the battery. On Qi the charge mainly goes into the added 1000mAh battery, it takes a full charge of that before the internal battery is being loaded and then, guess what, the added battery charges the internal and the Qi is almost ignored. The joy of that is sadly gone and so will the Poco and the idea. I went back to my old ones I can repair myself...
