Review Review Review:

Looks:

To be honest, I was prepared to be surprised to see the bulk of the 6000mah mugen battery. However, i was stunned when I opened the package. IT LOOOKED HUGE! After removing it from its packaging, it still felt heavy and large, which was when i started to doubt whether or not I would be able to use this daily. However, after placing it upon my phone and just getting the feel of it for a while, it really isnt that bad. It add heft to the hox, which for me is a great thing as the hox was really just too light for my comfort. Also, it adds protection on the sides and back. AND, you can rest assured that when ur phone falls, 99% of the time, it will land on the case, rather than the screen. The matte finish on the case is absolutely gorgeous, and really attracts no fingerprints at all. It also adds some grip to it which decrease the chance of you dropping your phone. I was kind of surprised it Mugen didnt include their kickstand in this case, which is something I was glad of, as their previous kickstands were flimsy and of lesser quality.

Build Quality

The case is really sturdy. I usually just stuff it into my backpack when i dont use it, and everytime I take it out, there really isnt any lint or any dirty stuff on the case. However, this doesnt mean it's scratch resistant. My review unit has obtained some seriously visible scratches on the back due to placing it on the table and sliding it around during usage. No complaint there though, as it did what it was meant to do, and the white colour really hides the scratches pretty well. I have dropped the case several times into concrete, with it surviving each fall with just a minor scratches on the sides. The pogo pins are well protected by the sides of the case so as to not take a hit when the case falls.

Usage:

Don't let the thickness of the case fool you. It still allows all proper usage of the phones buttons with no hinderance whatsoever when the case is attached to my phone. I had no problems reaching for buttons or plugging in headphones. AlSO, IT FITS IN YOUR PANTS. and fits quite well to be honest. I dont wear skinny jeans if that makes a difference, but the phone feels just a tad thicker than without the battery case. Actually, if you had an otterbox, the case pretty much feels like an otterbox in your pocket minus the hard to slide out part as this battery case is smooth as butter when you try to slide it out. The speaker hole is well cut and there is no volume loss in sound produced which is a plus, whilst the camera has a very well-thought and clean cut hole so as to not block the great capabilities of the 8MP camera on the back. The pogo pins line up perfectly with the phone, and is very easy to install. You simply snap the phone in from either direction, and you can feel the case fitting snuggly onto the phone. Then, with a turn of a on-off button, the charging begins.

Performance:

I personally am really satisfied with what this case enable me to do. I charged it full along with my phone before the day of a 2 day camp trip. Over the course of 2 days, I had the case on my phone 24/7, for both protection and to maintain a charge. I turned the case on when my battery reached 70%, and kept it on until it died on me with my phone at full charge. I survived the 48 hours with 60% still remaining on my phone, whilst the battery status showed 48 hours of use along with 8 hours screen - on time, with a lot of them been camera and video shots as well as some surfing here and there. There really isnt anything else I can want from this case. With normal use, I could probably survive at least 4 days with this monster. GREAT JOB THERE mugen.

One little rant. The battery indicator on the back goes berserk on me every once in a while, flashing red or not flashing at all when i was trying to charge the case. Also, not all charging lights on the back are meant to display battery stats as one of it is dedicated to a red signal light to indicate the case is charging. Average charge times of the case ranged between 5-8 hours, so i am usually face to face with a fully charged case if plugging in to charge before sleep.

SO, it you are planning to keep you hox for a while, and is not satisfied with your battery life, Mugen Power's 6000mah battery really is the way to go as they produce one of the best quality batteries on the market with proper customer support. One downside however, is that you have to overcome that steep price.

BTW, NO ONE SAID I LOOKED WEIRD HOLDING THE PHONE WITH THE CASE UP TO MY EAR...it looks quite normal actually. But..my friends who picked it up always did one thing： swing it like a brick :D

6000mAH

So far with my 6000 mugen, I am getting nearly two charges. I think it will get better once i condition it. So basically from around 5-9% charge, I can charge the phone full once and on the second time i got it upto 75%. But i did use the phone while it was charging, so its not like it was kept overnight for charge. So I would say you can charge it twice if u r not using the phone while charging. Once I get some screen shot evidence, I will post it.

Pros:

1. Nearly two times charging.

2. the back is protected

3. The phone feels much better and lighter when you take it out of the battery case

I did find some cons:

1. There seems to be a drop in wi-fi signal strength if you are holding the phone in certain ways.

2. The camera flash gets a bit blocked.

3. attracts my 1 year old nephew to press the button which illuminates blue lights to show charge level
