[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GFX.myst.:
should have got it when it was a penny. price jumped to $9.99. :(

sent from within the beast
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] :
Got mine but no charging cable came with it :( I like it
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
The first one that I bought was defective, it took forever to charge and if my phone was in it, it wouldn't turn off. The second one that I bought works perfectly, currently using it and it has boosted my battery up by 27% :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Sorry for your lack of cable. :( Mine had it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pisherthefisher:
My battery finally lasts 24 hours with very heavy use. The case makes the phone really easy to grip
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] limeaide:
Please elaborate on the bolded part. I have one and everything works the way I think it does but instead of me being able to charge the phone manually it will automagically charge the phone. I dont think that is the intended function but would like conformation.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
There is 2 ways to use it. One, leave the powerglove turned on. It will charge your battery until the powerglove is dead, so your battery stays at 100% in full charge mode until the powerglove is dead, then your phone battery discharges.

The second way is to turn the powerglove off, let your phone discharge to 5-10%, or whatever, then turn the powerglove on to charge the battery back up till either the battery is full, then turn it off, or the powerglove is out of juice.

It's not a second battery that runs in parallel or series or anything, it's a charging case. Whether you choose to let it charge your battery perpetually or just when your phone is getting low, thats' your choice but all the powerglove does is charge your battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
What I meant by that was if the phone was all the way in the case, if I turned the case off it only stayed off for about 10 seconds and then it would turn back on. The new one that I got actually works perfect and turns off and stays off and only turns on when I want it to.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] limeaide:
Ok thanks I guess I need to contact them about mine. Like I said it will not let me turn it on or off. If it is off and I unlock the phone it starts to charge. Thanks for posting saved me from thinking I was retarded.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pisherthefisher:
You have to hold the button for 5 seconds to turn it on
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Cooptx:
The power cord is a standard micro USB cord. You can use the same cord as your phone. Or any other android charging cord for that matter. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] :
Wait I got 700 mah... I think I jve been robbed? Isn't it 1500.....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
That's the input and output of what the battery puts out to charge, not the capacity of the battery itself inside the unit, which you can't see.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] :
Oh cuzz the battery seems to only charge my sga4g up 20 percent.... Before it shuts off :( n when the phone is plugged in it shows that it's 100 percent charge as in the powerskin ?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Is the powerskin empty at that point or is it still full and the charging has just stopped?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] :
Charging went from 60 to 80 then stopped. But that makes no sense... I the powerskin wouldn't blink from 1 to 4 but when the phone is pulgged in it shows 4 bars

right now it's been on for about 3 hours n it's only been up to two blinks.. Without the phone in.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] limeaide:
So I contacted power skin about my issue they are sending a new one out. Of you don't think it is working right I suggest contacting then very good Customer service in my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] :
Oh found problem never actually charged the powerskin :( it always seem to charge the phone or do something silly leaving the powerskin at one circle it's like charging two batteries one plug I guess :/
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
Taht might be your USB port can't put enough power to keep the phone charged at 100% then start charging the powerglove before your powerglove can charge, the phone starts discharging too fast.

I bought 4 of these, 2 for me, 2 for my roomie, we both have identical PC's and never had any of the problems anyone is having. I think so of it comes down to available USB power and knowing how the thing actually works. :p
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Yeah, if your phone battery and the powerskin are both low, the phone charges first, then the powerskin. So if you don't have enough juice to keep the phone fully charged, you're never going to charge the powerskin... I'd suggest unplugging it from the phone and charging it separately, if you've got an 'efficient' USB port.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] soccerandroid:
In the end, I learned that you should never buy anything from that website. They stole my credit card number and tried to use it to buy a TV. Luckly the card was denied and the people who stole it did not get the number. A lousy employee must have given it away.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] :
SINCE WE ARE LAZY LOL http://www.power-skin.com/faq.php <=== quote from thier website"hen you plug your fully charged PowerSkin into your smartphone, your PowerSkin automatically activates and begins charging your smartphone. At this point, you can decide to let it continue charging or to turn it off. By holding the on/off button down for 3-5 seconds, you will be able to start and/or stop charging your smartphone."

"Your PowerSkin alone should take 3-4 hours to fully charge. If you are charging your PowerSkin and smartphone together it will take up to 6 hours to receive a full charge."

also "The LED lights located on the back of your product indicate 2 things:

1) Charging - When you are charging your PowerSkin, the LED lights will blink to indicate the initiation of charging mode. Starting from left to right, the lights will turn on. If your PowerSkin is fully charged, all 4 LED lights will remain constant or on.

2) Battery Status - If you press the on/off button once quickly, the LED lights will show the power level of your PowerSkin.

1 LED light = ~25%

2 LED lights = ~50%

3 LED lights = ~75%

4 LED lights = ~100% (full charge)" also my case charges only up to 60% :( 1550 mah battery in my phone
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] limeaide:
I bought the case put it on my phone after charging it. Made sure it WAS NOT charging and the next time I unlocked my phone it started to charge.

Also if your cc number as stolen it was your own fault. The entire process was done via secure connections. It is also not likely they ever had anything but the last four numbers. The rest of the numbers have to be hidden per the agreement with visa, MasterCard, american express, and discover. The only time anybody sees you number is when you physically hand the card or verbally read the number to a live person.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] soccerandroid:
I don't think so...

If I helped out, hit the thanks button.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] :
Ur only suppose to get 60. Charge I was told by a spoke person of xpal like 20-80
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] limeaide:
Having bought stuff online now for several years this is a pretty big claim. I'm sure everybody that bought this case would like to know if this is true or not. So we can make sure our credit cards are safe. So unless you can provide proof that the people did this I think my previous statement stands.

I also think the people at power skins would be interested in this claim.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Hey Jacob:
I'm a bit confused, no one here really said "Yea, it fits my phone perfect." and theres a review on the product that says it doesn't fit the SGS4G. I'm definitely interested but I would like to see more feedback.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Yea, it fits my phone perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Did they steal your credit card number as well? LLOL
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] soccerandroid:
Yeah it is true. I got an email from my credit card provider that someone used at it 4 am to buy a burger to test it. I don't use my card fit Anything but expensive items. This was the only time I used my card to buy something online and apparently that is how it was stolen...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Not yet, but hey, it's early. :) Only been 3 weeks, so I should expect it to happen any day now! Right...?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
You can't determine just because you used it recently and it got used as a stolen card recently, the two are related. Your card info could have stolen for a while and sitting on of hundreds of thousands of cards waiting to be sold, your PC could have malware, key tracker that you're unaware of, it may have been on a list of stolen numbers and the thieves are just getting to your number now.

Was the burger bought in the same city as yours? What about the other purchase they attempted? Buying a burger requires a physical card to be swiped or have a chip in it. Embossing and programming a blank card good enough to pass off and physically hand to someone is a lot more than most people go through for a credit card they don't even know a limit on.

Most stolen numbers without a swipe imprint at least to duplicate onto a dummy card, are used to buy things online, shipped to abandoned houses, and then sold.

I would ask the credit company, on was a card used, where was the burger bought it, etc?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] soccerandroid:
In don't know the state but it wasn't in California.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] champ1919:
Wow. I am going to have to buy myself one of these now that we have support. I will grab one Friday just because of this. Worth 10 bucks to go all day without a battery swap.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gizmoscoop:
Guys, can you hit some thanks if you found this thread to be useful?:D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Wow. Just wow. That is customer support at its finest. Somehow you guys took it upon yourself to find this thread. Then you monitored it. Then you gave someone the opportunity to contact you to fix the alleged issue.

That is above and beyond anything I would have done if I was in your shoes.

Indeed. If you found it useful. I found the response from power skin very useful.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] soccerandroid:
I pm'ed them but no one has answered...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
PMed them when? After business hours on the same day and you're wondering why you haven't gotten a response back yet? Seems a bit... twitchy on your part, neh? I mean, the 'no response' post seems premature until it's waited at LEAST a day...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] limeaide:
I contacted customer support. This is a pretty serious claim and seeing as how they are sending me a new one at no charge and pretty much no questions asked I figured they needed to have a chance to defend against such a thing.

soccerandroid give it a day or so they will contact you back.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] soccerandroid:
Mine is doing the same thing, but they won't give me a replacement because it isn't registered. When I go to register it, the site asks me what store I bought it at, but I bought it online. I don't know how I will ever get my replacement now..,,
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Wow...be proud you have made me break my no posting promise.

You put "Powerskin Online retail".

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
How do you know he was testing? I smell something Fishy here.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] soccerandroid:
Because it was at 4 am in the morning and he wanted to check if it would work. I heard that is what all the people to do. They don't go buy the nexus 4 right away, they test it on a small item so just in case the card doesn't work, no one will expect that it was stolen.

If I helped out, hit the thanks button.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
How did he obtain the card to purchase a burger.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] soccerandroid:
From power skin.com after I entered it to order a case

If I helped out, hit the thanks button.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
That's your theory, but you don't have any proof. As I said before, they would need a card to buy a burger. Normally scammers just program blank white cards to use at ATM's and gas stations and stuff. Fully printing and embossing a card is hard and a lot of work to use for a credit card they don't know the limit on. It takes time. It's not like 30 seconds later they have a card printed with your name and that on it.

Additionally, AFAIK, you need a swipe scan in order to program a blank card with a stolen swipe. Just having the number, you can't program a blank card, you need a copy of all the information contained in the magnetic strip on the card.

It still doesn't make sense.

Your card could have swipe scanned 4 months ago and got stolen then and only getting used now, or it took them that long to verify the credit on the card so they would go through the trouble to program a card, print it, emboss your name on it. If they bought a burger, that gave someone a physical card, not just your number they stole from a website, a card. A card that looked like a good copy of a card. That's not easy.

I may wrong on how they can program cards nowadays, but I'm pretty sure they need a copy of a swipe in order to program it, not just a number.

And as powerskin said, they don't see your number at all, it's done through a third party place, which usually don't see the number. If they do see the number, they don't see the 3 digit code that goes with it, or the expiration date.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
Sherlock Controller and Dr. Getochkn, case closed.

Edit: @soccerandroid I didn't say card number, I said credit "card". :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
just got my powerskin.

I will update on my experience.

For international users price is still 15$.

BTW, if and when the powerskin battery will die, is there a replacement battery available ? (it looks detachable).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gizmoscoop:
Lol, if it dies through its normal life span, trash it. Just like your battery.

Hit the thanks button if it helps. It's my motivator to be more helpful.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
it's more expensive than my OEM batt... LOL

so far so good, charged it for 2.5 hours in the morning and turned it on in 5PM when I had 40% batt left, by 6:30PM I had 94% and 75% remaining power skin power.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] limeaide:
Got my replacement today and they sent me one for the Nexus S 4G. Called them up and got a RMA and prepaid label. About am hour after I dropped it off got a email saying my new new one was shipped.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Cooptx:
My power skin toggles between on and off far to easily. Just in my back pocket, I overheats from the screen constantly being turned on and back off. Also the lights on the back don't turn on to tell me if it is charging or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gizmoscoop:
I got it for only $5. :D

I just picked up my power skin from my front porch. I'll post back and let you guys know how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jenovah:
Got this for $5 also, was worth buying, power skin on top of the 2300mah battery works extremely well, i had over 4 1/2-5hrs of screen time yesterday

I just purchased this. I paid around $25 for it. $9.99 for the Power Skin and the rest for shipping to Canada. Can anyone tell me about how long shipping takes to a neighbouring country of USA?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Depends on customs. Figure it'll probably be 1-2 weeks on average until its in your hand.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pisherthefisher:
Mine stopped charging. Now when I plug it in the led blinks for a second then turns off
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Contact them and get it replaced. The customer service is top notch.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
I got 4 of them shipped to Canada in about 10 days and this was during the Xmas holidays and the busy shipping time. Should have gotten on when the deal was going, I only paid $38 for 4 of them to Canada.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Hey Jacob:
My power skin continues to impress me lasting through my work day with a constant Pandora stream.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
I like it too because it stays plugged into your USB port, as USB port damage is common from plugs and people moving them and using them plugged in, your plug is safe and the worst, you break the plug on the powerskin case.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] johnadelic:
It seems like my power skin seems like it drops from 3 dots to 0 fast. How is everyone else's experience?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
4 to 3 definitely takes longer than 3 to 0. But the overall life of the battery seems about right, so I think it's just mis-representing life rather than actually having issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] johnadelic:
Do you usually let the power skin keep the phone battery charged until the power skin dies or run the phone battery down then turn on the power skin?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
I let phone get to 50%, turn powerskin on and let it die till phone gets to ~95%
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Personally I tend to let the phone get even deader before turning on the Powerskin... phone may go down to 20% or so before I turn it on. Generally gets the phone to officially-full before it runs out.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] johnadelic:
Anyone else notice that the headphone jack hole is too small and that the mic hole covers the mic so when you use speaker phone people have a hard time hearing me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] :
i keep it on till the powerskin dies then use the battery which gives ms 18 hrs on wifi
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Nope. Works for me on speakerphone. Nobody's complained yet. Even when it's sitting on the car dash.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Hey Jacob:
I almost do the same except I don't turn mine on until I start up my Pandora at the job site, mine lasts about 26 hours. I've yet to try a call on speaker but no one has complained about me being hard to hear. As a matter of fact I love this power skin so much that I ordered one for my parents and sister. =D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] johnadelic:
I went from 1%- 68% from a full discharge of the power skin. It seems like it goes from two to zero dots quick.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Hey Jacob:
What exactly are you doing on it at the time that it goes from 2 to 0 dots?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
Anyone notice that when the powerskin is active, it prevents the phone from deep sleep. mine runs at 200mhz when the powerskin is active. might be the fast charge options in the team faq kernel, but I don't even fastcharge installed on this rom. Soon as I turn off the powerskin, it goes to deepsleep.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I finally got a powerskin and it didn't come with the charge indicator leds on the back. How about you guys'? Did it come with the leds near the power button?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] soccerandroid:
It only shows when you click the button. Yours could be dead
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I see what you mean, I can see it while it's charging. ;). Ignore that last comment, here's a rom and a new unlocker version *runs away*

anyone has the issue where is flicks between being charged and not? when hold up? i feel something is loose
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
My powerskins (I have one and my wife has one) have become less reliable lately... hers seems to only charge very irregularly (maybe once in 5-10 charging attempts will it go above 1 flashing dot) and mine is somewhat irregular (once in 2-3 attempts). Also, plugging it in to charge when it says it's already full (4 solid lights) appears to short something out as they'll immediately go to no charge (one blinking light). Ah well, great when it works, but... eh, hard to suggest people shell out full price for them. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hutson23:
How long have you had them?

I have one and my daughter has one

but there only 4 months old.

still working good so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Believe since December 2012. They worked great for the first month or so, they just degraded quickly.

Longer than that..I will update here

every few months on mine..

Well I can confirm this is the correct firmware to load. The tab actually works pretty well with it and I'll be handing it down to my 4yo. Deveopment for the 8.9 has slowed down to a crawl and for $217 for a 32gb Nexus 7 and tons of devopment action I couldn't turn down a new toy even though I love the 8.9 screen size.
