To all that complain about long time to charge....

Use Samsung charger that provide proper voltage values to the pins....

So to don't go to high tech on technology here do some research

rated at 2 amps. ...and you will have charging time from 5-7 hours from 2-100 %

Note

Slower charges will keep you battery definitely for longer life

To found right charger you need to adopt to your lifestyle versus overall battery life

I always charge my battery with phone in off position to speed up charge time > 5 hours

:cool:

Is there a way to take off that plastic screen protector?

That things looks kind if stupid, especially when many already have good screen protector
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] clapper66:
You may be able to take a razor blade and cut it out it can't be that thick. :rolleyes:

Did you post this in the wrong spot? This is about the ZeroLemon case :p
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] vlad2277:
Very funny

Cut it out
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] rmriggin:
I tried to post all my pics but on the mobile app only one actually posted. Overall it isn't much thicker than it was just with the extended battery and battery cover it came with. It uses tpu material and feels very sturdy and is easy to slide in and out of a pocket. Had some textured areas in all the right places. I'm contemplating removing the built in screen protector as I prefer the one I already had installed but it works well.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] vlad2277:
Can you try to post pics

Can you tell more about built-in screen protection

Can you really just remove it?

Also, is there holes on top for microphone and IR blaster?

I want the case, but really prefer my already installed one, it's thin and high quality
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] adeejay:
Omg, why you need such a case? Are you some mountain biker or something? I would never have this extra bulky case on my S4. You can have great protection with less bulkier cases too.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] clapper66:
I bought one for my self because it was only $20 and it works with my 7500 mAh battery. Also told my friend to buy one because he has very bad luck with phones and cracking screens and he just got an s4 about a mouth ago and was looking to get an otter box witch looks similar but cost 3 times as much so if I don't like it I'm sure I could easily sell it to some one with a s4.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] joshm.1219:
If its anything like the otterbox it will pop out very easily.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] vlad2277:
This is not the best case FOR GS4

But it's the best rugged case for extended battery.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] clapper66:
Also for $20 it is a great price
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] samprocat:
I would hold on removing screen protection. ...just because I wanna put some use on before it gets bad....then cut it out and go with some premium screen protection;)

Success is never final

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] echsos:
I really like their battery, it's definitely needed for the way I use my phones. This rugged case, however, disappointed me a tad. The rubber used for this is the same as the tpu that came with the batter, a little bit too solid without the give of the other cases which gives it a little more secure feel for when you drop it but I'll use it for a week or two and see if it changes my mind. The screen protector looks like it was kind of haphazardly glued on for my particular case (you can see the glue seeping out in the top left to middle edges of the case). All in all, I was hoping for a little more 'tanky' case akin to an otterbox defender but I guess it's not too bad of a case for 20 dollars. In the end I suppose it might not be too bad of a case but all the hype built up around it along with the delayed release and bs excuses led to a bit of a letdown on this item for me.

I agree with the other poster about this being a nice case for those who have the extended battery but it is by no means the best case for an S4 at all.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] vlad2277:
Thanks for info

I'm still undecided, but it's unfortunate that it's not made from silicon type material, but rather from same type that came with battery. It's not too bad, but really not as premium as silicon one.

Not sure why they decided to out that peace of plastic as screen protector. All it gives is glare, no real life advantage.

But I guess, you can always send it back. Return shipping only costs a couple of bucks.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] clapper66:
Well I ordered it and if I like the case but the screen protector is the only thing I don't like I gonna take a razor blade age cut it out :p
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] echsos:
I forgot to mention that the screen protector does not hug tight to the phone so you'll have to really press to make contact with the phone. I personally don't have an issue with this but I can see other people having problems with it.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Jacob2kD:
Few photos with phone in case from top view and side view
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lachapo88:
How do you like the fit of the case on the phone and the feel in your hand??
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] gillebob:
Couldn't resist this at $20, ordered a few hours ago on amazonUS and got a shipped email shortly after. Wish it had a kickstand on the case though, it's the only thing i'll miss about the cheap case i'm currently using. Also disappointing to hear the built in screen protector isn't tight against the screen, as the otterbox defender case I had on my s3 made it feel like an old resistive touch screen, still if it's an issue a sharp knife should fix it.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Firepac:
Is there any signal degradation with this case?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] mjs2011:
I believe it does have a kickstand. Mine was delivered today so I'll let you know when I get home.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] gillebob:
Looking at the pictures it seems the spring clip on the holster can be used as a stand, but I haven't seen any other stand on it, would be happy to be wrong though.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] mjs2011:
Yep you're right. It's the optional clip.

Overall it's a good case. It feels a lot better than the tpu case that came with the original battery. My only complaint is the screen protector. You have a little space between the protector and the screen making you have to press a little harder. I did turn on high touch sensitivity and that helps a little.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] echsos:
No signal degradation from what I've noticed. The kick stand is on the holster, not the case.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] mjs2011:
Either I'm on drugs or this rugged case actually feels thinner and lighter than the phone does with the original TPU case.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Jacob2kD:
Feels good built in screen protector is good no watermarks
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] clapper66:
ZeroLemon items are like Drugs :p they are very nice but also priced very very Well :P.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] joshm.1219:
Got mine in yesterday, not impressed. Well I should really say it's what you would expect a $20 otter box to be like. The screen protector isn't flush with the phone, the port covers can depress into the port, it's even thicker width wise than an otterbox, has a smaller front lip than an otterbox.

That said, the volume/power buttons are some of the best I've used on a rugged case. The back is smooth so it's easy to get out of a pocket but there's still braille style dots on the side for grip.

If you're going to use the zerolemon i'd recommend this case if you don't own a dremel to do the otter box mod.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] clapper66:
from what you said is the only really bad thing is the screen protector if anything im just going to cut it out if i do not like it. i look at it this way it has to be safer than just using the TPU case for my 7500 mAh battery. :D
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] joshm.1219:
No need to cut it feels like you can pop it right out. Like I said, if you don't have access to a dremel I would get this case.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] zerolemon:
Hello from ZeroLemon

For the screen protector, we do see some clients are having issues about it not sitting tight on the screen. We are happy to get those sorted for you. Please email us about this

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] gillebob:
Thanks for that zerolemon, i'm more than impressed with 7500 mah battery and if there's an issue with case i'll certainly let you know. Also, great to see a manufacturer taking the time to post on here.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] milkit18:
Just got mine. Digging it.

I pulled the stock screen protector off. It was already half way off. Using the screen protector I already had on my phone. Also rocking the 7500mah battery from hyperion.

Which Btw had a better tpu molded case. Compared to the 7500 zerolemon standard tpu.

But I really needed the clip holster this offers lol.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] vlad2277:
Can you explain,

Which screen protector you saying was already half way off, that you removed.

Was it the one that was suppose to be built-in this new case? It was just falling out?

Please explain more clearly

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] clapper66:
Well I heard the Hyperion tpu case messed up the flash so both cases have there pros and cons :p
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] milkit18:
The one that came with the rugged case. It was partially unattached. Which is common for these. Believe it's from heat. If you choose to use it....... You have to press along the edges were the adhesive is sandwiched then install the case.

It's like the Otterbox defender cases. But this one didn't cause bubbles like the Otterbox did on my iPhone 5.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] echsos:
I emailed zerolemon and baxtex wireless both regarding an issue with my screen protector not snug with my screen and still no response so far.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] clapper66:
Well if anything I'm going to take it off anyways. I will report back on mine when I get it :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] milkit18:
Heard the same thing.

But mine was fine. No flash problems
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] clapper66:
Well just got my case and put it on and its great. Only bad thing was the screen protector but I come out real easily anyways Its a great for the 7500 may battery and only cost $20 ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] vlad2277:
Can you take a couple of pics of case, especially front view

How it looks without that screen protector

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lachapo88:
Yeah I've had my case for 3 days and is great!except for the screen protector , doesnt sit on the screen like it should. I find myself having to push harder on the screen when I'm texting
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] vlad2277:
Is it possible to just take screen protection off?

Or it will leave something behind? ie: sharp edges or maybe some glue residue
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] echsos:
The screen protector looks like it's haphazardly glued on, you can just push it out if you don't want it.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lachapo88:
Yes , I'm probably gonna just take the screen protector off and buy an invisashield screen protector because this isn't working and very annoying!!!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] clapper66:
Well took my screen protector out. It popes out easily then you i scraped the glue off the plastic and then I took some cleaner and a q tip to get the rest of the glue off :D
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
No video reviews yet???
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] mjs2011:
I'm enjoying this case a lot more now that I took the screen protector off.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] vlad2277:
Can someone post some front pics without screen protector
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] vlad2277:
Question,

Is there a hole on top for IR Blaster?

You can't see it on any pics
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] joshm.1219:
yes

Well mine arrived today and i'm pretty impressed with it, it appears well made and fits perfectly. Seems to add almost no extra bulk over the 7500mah tpu case, and actually looks better too. The screen protector is as bad as I thought it was going to be, doesn't sit tight against the screen and makes it feel like an old resistive screen, i've already removed it and will fit an ordinary screen protector. Cutouts are all perfectly placed and the volume and power buttons have a decent feel to them and require no extra or lesser pressure to operate. Overall, very happy with this.

Thanks for info and pics

Can't tell, are there still screen protector on those pics?

Any side effects to case after you removed screen protector? ie. Sharp edge or Ave visible left overs?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] gillebob:
Yeah screen protector removed in those pics and no sharp edges left, glue residue easily cleaned with a damp cloth.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] blwnv8:
Now here is something I haven't seen yet. Making a qi wireless receiver work somehow with the 7500 battery or maybe a smaller battery. I have a zl 3000 now but some days I need more. Currently using a ballistic sg maxx. Like that this case has a belt clip too. I refuse to lose my wireless charging as my micro usb port died months ago.

I've took off the screen protector from the case but there's glue left on the plastic, what's the best way to remove it so it doesn't stick?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] thrgk:
I'd use alcohol and q tips
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Lither:
I don't have alcohol but will try using hot water and scraping it off
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] milkit18:
Toothpick

Bastexwireless ( zerolemon vendor on ebay) has been great and shipped me a replacement holster. I wish I was more clear and showed the pic so they would have understood I meant the case itself and not the holster.

But it's okay they have been more than helpful. Everything works fine when you face the lcd outward. I like to face it inward so my screen is not vulnerable.

But it's still a great case. Worth the 20 bucks.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
The question would you buy the case again???
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] milkit18:
Yes.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Lither:
Cleared the glue off the screen protector
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] droggen:
Yes IR blaster hole is there

Yes IR blaster hole is there.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
I can't tell from the pictures, But when you take the rubber off is battery is there or does something else have to come off

In the enclosed pictures the white arrow

When is that piece/backplate of some sort used for the stock battery only or all the time??????
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Firepac:
So does this case protect as well as an otterbox defender?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] joshm.1219:
It's a backplate that goes with the stock battery if you choose to use one with this case, so that the back of the case stays rigid.

Guys, how's everyone side buttons?

I've read on ZeroLemon Facebook that a lot of first batch cases had bad button design.

They were a little too deep, and would press too easily on there own.

Anyone have this problem?

I just popped it out. there was a little glue left around the edges that I had to clean up, but came out pretty easy.

I have the 7500mah batter and the Rugged case. I love them both. Seems to be a hair thicker the the 7500 with the tpu case but not to much more.

The case seems nice and sturdy. Haven't dropped it yet but seems like it would protect really good except for a direct screen hit.

Just received this case today..only 1 week from USA to Indonesia.. I love this case..

I also removed the screen protector that came with it.

I'm bit nervous when I bought it, I'm afraid that the case did not fit my S4 because I use the Spigen glas TR slim screen protector.. but it did fit perfectly :)

S4+Rugged Case+7500mah battery+GlasTR = Perfect!!!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
Finally got the case today I was so excited to open the envelope!!!

I was this case is awsome!!!

I found only one problem with the case and it was it only snaps in with the screen facing outwards.:eek::eek::eek::eek:

Am I doing something wrong???

I like to have the back of the case facing outwards. :thumbup:

Does anybody elses case do this??? :confused::confused::confused::confused:

THanks in advanced!!!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] milkit18:
Yeah that was my issue. But it's fine. I just use it the other way. It requires a little more effort to unhook it, but that's fine..

It's whatever. I stopped using the holster any who. Though doing it this way will snap a small piece of the edge of the case. ( view my pics in previous post).

N9t clipping in all the way that's all!!!

That's what had me worried.

I am glad that I bought the battery after they released the rugged case for it.:)

I am not a fan of the TPU cases. I prefer a dual type case like the Otter box and the Zero Lemon Rugged Case.:what:

I am happy with my purchase, I though I would not like it, But in the end I did having the extra battery power with a rugged case is super awesome!!!:D:D:D:D

The one thing I am going to do is buy a Extra Large Smart Phone, & Cell Phone size Vertical Cell Phone Pouch has a soft inside with a rotating belt clip to use at work. Sometimes I get caught on things and I do not want to rip the clip off The Zero Lemo Rugged Case:cool:!!!
