I had the same question before buying this case. This was because I didn't have a screen protector already for my note so I thought I'd order a bigger battery, a new case and a new screen protector all together for my note 3. And it turned out to be great. For the most part. I mean the screen protector is really not the best but it's workable. Let just say I would never buy this screen protector alone. But it does its job. My zerolemon fitted phone has dropped many times since I got it and I feel good knowing that this screen protector is on it too rather than taken off. Some people don't like that it's not very clear but I don't share their opinion. Every once in a while the outside of the screen protector gets dirty with smudge (it really is a HUGE smudge magnet) and I end up just cleaning it off with a cloth and it looks like new again.

I did end up taking the screen protector off when I first got it. But a day later I put it back on and it's working great for me. No problems. I doubt I'll take it off now that it's saved me from worry when my phone fell a couple of times.

Edit: also, yeah the screen protector is glued together in such a way that you can EASILY take it off when disassembled.

Its just a plastic protector. if you dont have a protector already, its better than nothing. Some people have said its easy for dust to get in there between the screen and the plastic.

a tempered glass protector is far superior, and should be a must-buy.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sauron82:
The problem with the built-in plastic screen protectors on any case is that they don't actually sit on the screen, which is how dust can get in there. Stuck on protectors, glass or plastic, are always better.

Could you please recommend a good tempered glass protector that would work good with the zerolemon 10,000 mah batteries case. Thanks

I've seen mixed comments on how to first use this battery. My ZL should come in the next few days and I just want to do it right. Should i follow the box instructions or a different plan on how many cycles and how to do the cycles?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BoezeGott:
I was wondering if anyone could provide me with a precise measurement of either just the phone and battery without the case or the battery by itself? Please and thank you.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] apallohadas:
Ignore the instructions they send with the battery. Charge and use it normally for at least a week. After that you should see a better reflection of % remaining.

And for the love of all things shiny, don't drain your battery! That's from the old NiCad days of batteries. Modern Li-Ion batteries don't need to be "conditioned" and the only thing draining and attempting to over-charge batteries does is shorten their lifespan and max charge capacity.

A lot of people start snapping screenshots and downloading apps the day after they get a new battery. Resist the temptation and just enjoy the battery :)

One big or small note on the case... If u want to a attach otg or mhl cables you are gonna have to. Adjust the opening a little... When I did this for mine I scratched the build in protection somber careful... I ordered armor suit to replace the screen protector... And yes the ZL is a must have for a note 3....5 days without charging is amazing and I have had it since release... No. Drop in charge at all... It is has been great..

I just used the one i got from the verizon store for $25. i bought it before i found out that many other companies make them, and sell them online. Any brand is better than nothing, or the plastic ones.

Now comparing different brands to each other? idk about that. thats a topic for a different thread.

And the ZL case fits any protector, once you take the plastic one off (and the "glue", which is just double-stick tape.)

I ordered my ZL yesterday. Should be here sometime next week, can't wait.

Has anyone been using theirs ZL battery for months and can still say it functions well or have you noticed any change in battery life?

Most people review it after only a few days or weeks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bleuwave:
That's something I'd be interested in as well. All the reviews on Amazon and other places are by people who just received it and have barely begun using it.

I've only had the zerolemon for only about a month now and can say that I've lost a little bit of battery capacity. The mv of the battery is not as high as it used to be. I'd say the loss is around 60 mv according to

Some other people may have different experiences with their battery. In any case, there is a six month warranty that can be utilized if it drops too much.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Morlok8k:
Thats an awesome idea! The only downside is that it doesn't extend the NFC coil. But if you never use NFC, than it is a great idea. Also good for phones without QI compatibility - just put it on the inside of a case, and you will never see it, unless you need to use the USB port again.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] amynjimmy:

As a UK resident, I can't seem to be able to buy this. The eBay store doesn't ship to the UK and the product is only available on the amazon.com website. Help !
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] lordmusik:
Well, a lot of people was concerned because of the recently closed review that was on this forum. I asked for a new review an our friend [MENTION=5316872]seand88[/MENTION] made an excellent review of this amazing battery. I hope you guys like it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mouzam:
I ordered it last weekend on amazon.com. Paid £46.54 and was shipped on sunday. Now I am waiting for the delivery. I wish someone could tell me how long it takes for the parcel to arrive to uk.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Don164:
Oh, I assumed that was only for international customers, what was the estimated delivery time ?!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mouzam:
Your estimated delivery date is:

Monday, April 28, 2014 -

Tuesday, May 13, 2014
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Don164:
Thank You. I guess when my Note 3 arrives, I'll look into Amazon.com
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mouzam:
No problem mate. Can't wait for it to come now. I hope I'll get it before the estimated delivery date.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Don164:
Can I ask, what's your battery life like on the stock battery ?!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mouzam:
Pretty good to be honest. I get whole day of battery life and between 4 to 5 hours of screen time without any problems. And if I only use wifi then the screen on time goes even higher.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Don164:
Oh that's good, it kind of means I can afford to wait for the delivery if the stock battery is good then
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mayonesa:
I have been waiting since the 8th and the estimated delivery is on the 21st... I guess carrier pigeon is still an option for delivery

Im not far from tx damn it..
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] carnagecjb:
I just got mine yesterday, loving the battery life so far. 90%+ left after a full day of light use...

One question though, for those that have had their cases for a while...

My port covers don't seem to stay closed. Anyone else experience this? Do I have a defect I need to contact them about? The case is great otherwise, I just wish the usb and headphone ports would stop flapping open...

:-\
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] phat_red:
I had my case for 3 months now and no problems at all. My case comes off at least twice a week! I would send it back for warranty
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jacqueline robert:
Are sure this case works with NFC as well as wifi charging?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] d12unk13astard:
They shouldn't be doing that, there well tucked in on mine and I regularly take my case apart to wipe down any dust that gets inside the case in between the week. If your pushing the flaps in and there not staying put I'd say send it back in for an exchange! I know some people just cut them off outright mainly for the spend to be pulled out quicker and the charger exposed for quicker charging,but I prefer them closed when not in use myself.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DEEBS808:
Mines does the same. My solution is pushing the corners in that is closes to the flap.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] xda23:
For those who have had there battery for awhile after the first full charge how many times did you fully charge and then completely discharge your battery.and what % do you let your battery go down to before recharge it. Thanks In advance!!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sauron82:
You're not supposed to fully discharge your battery anymore; batteries have changed. Doing that shortens your battery life. Just charge it 100% and plug it in when it tells you to at 15%, nice & simple. Please stop the myth.

Click thanks if I helped you
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mayonesa:
What about the 1st charge? I just got this today and i plugged it at 1600 with 59% how it came. Its says fully charged now but it hasn't been 12 hours.

My 1st extended battery so dont know much about them. I know lithium batteries have gotten better but i just want to make sure
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] seand88:
I kept mine charging for the full 12 hours even thought it was at 100%
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sauron82:
The twelve hours is for either USB2.0 or for PC charging. Using the higher-amp charger and USB3.0 cable that came with the phone it charges in a few hours. Remember, these things are designed for monkeys to use, not power users; it needs to be simple for the average consumer. Plug it in when it asks and unplug at 100. That's it.

Click thanks if I helped you
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bleuwave:
Charge it past 100% UNTIL the Battery Full notification comes on. Then you're truly done as the phone will not charge further.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Neroga:
The ZeroLemon batteries are using tricell. While it may look like the battery is draining quickly, it's really not. The 2 other cells are simultaneously charging the main cell over time so you'll notice that the battery life will jump up as if it's been charged for awhile if you leave the screen off.

Been heavily using the 9300mAn ZL battery for a couple of months on my OGP and already ordered one for my Note 3.

Sent from my 4.4 Sphinx REMOD LG-E980
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mayonesa:
I hesitate buying this but i like the feel of the phone now. Yea its big and "heavy" but i like the feel.

Its the 1st day of use so cant speak much for battery life but im at 93% with 6 hours off the charger
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] scooters29:
Thanks

That explains it very well.

Interestingly I've been using as a phone all day and have 93% left now

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Morlok8k:
Really? i haven not opened my battery to check, but as an electrician, that just seems stupid. that would put a lot more wear and tear on the one battery instead of equally draining them.

Its most likely 3 regular batteries (in one package) that are wired in parallel. this would drain each battery fairly equally.

as for the battery life jump after the screen being off for a while, that's just the batteries synchronizing their charge (internally (chemically) and between the cells). if you had one giant battery instead of three that was 10,000mAh, you would still see this. its possible to see it on smaller batteries, but the "swing" is much smaller.

have you ever had an electric razor (or something) that you used all the charge of the battery, then set it down for 5 minutes, and then turn it on again and it will buzz at full speed for a moment, then quickly slow back down? its the same thing.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jasmineee:
I just got my ZL today. The delivery said Friday even after I checked this morning. haha

but it came with 60% and the case, to me isn't as bad as a lot of people made it out to be. I also like how it feels in hand.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mayonesa:
This is what i have so far from my 1st full charge. Hopefully it will improve

Not bad though
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mayonesa:
Im at 53% right now still on my 1st charge. Im kinda worried about not charging tonight and run outbof juice tomorrow during the day. I cant charge during the day
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] apallohadas:
Ignore the instructions that tell you to drain it. Go ahead and charge and use it as you would normally. (charge at night, use during the day)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bleuwave:
It's a good battery but. Beginning to last me just two days now instead of three. Had it for a little more than a month now. Maybe the Battery percent is all messed up and I need to consume it till less than 5 percent.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mayonesa:
Not sure if its the battery but my N3 gets hot while charging. I make sure everything is close so no apps running but it gets hot. I turn it off and charge that way which kinda helps but i dont want to have to turn the phone off to charge

Does this happen to anyone else? Ideas how to solve this?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mapl.ph:
Any tripod mount or holder/clip that's compatible with our ZeroLemon? Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bleuwave:
What are the lowest and highest end voltages of this battery?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MatroxD:
I saw one on Amazon. It was a kit with lenses, tripod and case for 57. I will look for it and post if I can find again.

Edit: had it in my wish list, so there you go!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mapl.ph:
Will it hold the Note 3 with ZeroLemon? (with the added weight and thickness and all)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MatroxD:
Not sure.. Lol, that's why I hadn't ordered it yet. I have been thinking of a way to possibly modify the case. The case/hopper is the key. Once you get that too where you want it, you can use any sticks(tripod) that you want.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BigMosley:
That new s5 extended battery case looks sweet. Still glad ours came with a holster.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MatroxD:
Yeah it does look sweet! I actually would take that over the one we have to be honest.. I would even buy that if they came out with a note 3 version..
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BigMosley:
Yes they definitely tried to go a more artsy design with the new case. I want to see the break down of it and see if its just like ours. I like the clip personally it adds that much more drop protection.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MatroxD:
Yes they did. And I agree with you I will wait to see how they review.over time. The funny thing is I actually broke my clip. Sort of ruined it for me..
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BigMosley:
Wow really? I'm pretty hard on my phone because due to working in the construction industry and mine just has markings on it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MatroxD:
I honestly don't know what happened. I was in the car, got up to get out, and it's the only time I dropped the phone. The clip came apart in two pieces. The actual pivot portion and the holster. It is weird indeed.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Natelugo:
Talk about feeling left out.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BigMosley:
Hah well I guess even with a company name like Zero Lemon, there still will be the occasion lemon.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MatroxD:
Lol this is true. The nature of mfg I suppose.

I am on the 4.4.2 rom (based off the leak) and am trying to see how long it's going to last. I am already in day 5 so far (I had a day that I downloaded another rom), and still at 26%.. So this version should be fantastic four battery life. Lol, I'm hoping to get a week now.. Lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] scooters29:
Breaking the clip is easy when getting in and out of a car. Fortunately it's easy to fix as it's a case of sideways force popping the spring from the clip. You need to find the steel clip spring which will have pinged out somewhere. Then all you need is a pointy tool to slot it cackling together.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] lachapo88:
My clip did the same, I contacted zerolemon and they replaced right away no questions asked!!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jacqueline robert:
Oh god. It really good idea. Can anyone share their own Experience with it. Its good or bad for Note3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] seand88:
I just looked up the s5 case and it's a really sweet design..I would defiantly buy the case if it got released for the note 3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Pandawg:
Same here. I hope they consider it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Don164:
On average the battery life tends to last 2 - 3 days on heavy usage but exactly how long does it last on medium usage or even light usage ?!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nerys71:
I tested this on my note 2 with the 9300mah battery. Using the phone 10 minutes per day I got 38 days on the battery.

The note 3 for me uses more battery than the note 2 ie I can not get 1 day heavy usage stock battery like I can on the note 2. So figure 15 to 20 days with very very light usage and everthing turned off.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] seand88:
I average around 5 to 6 days on light medium use. I have not hit 7 days but I have heard people hitting that.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Don164:
I'm genuinely thinking about purchasing this now, it's just that I'm a UK resident and I don't know of a place that I can get it from
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mayonesa:
Im sure someone online can ship it to the UK. I was worried about the size but i ended up getting it and i love it. The phone feels solid, i dont mind thw weight and size. Im even going to get a 2nd set with an external wall charger so i can swap batteries and charge externally

Suck i cant get just the battery since it is not sold separately
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sauron82:
You don't want just the battery. No other case will fit something this massive, and without a case it'll just fall out.

Click thanks if I helped you
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mayonesa:
I already have everything. Case, battery and holster. I would like a 2nd battery just to swap when one is low. Zerolemon doesn't sell just the battery so im going to have to buy a 2nd kit
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] xda23:
Where do you live I will sell u mine.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sauron82:
It's such a hassle pulling of the case just to switch the battery. I'd rather just carry a charger. Will this battery even fit in a spare battery charger? I know they sell them for the stock battery but...

Click thanks if I helped you
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mayonesa:
Pulling off the hard plastic is a pain but not the outer rubber part, that is simple. So all i would need to do is take the rubber part off and remove the battery. The extended battery fits the charger just fine, so no problems there either.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] art90262:
I got the oem spare battery and charger combo....popped the cover from external charger and voila....i now have 2 regular oem batteries and the zl one...i never ever plug in because i always have a charged one and 2 spare ones fully charged waiting for me..... i use the zl for everyday construction work and i have a clean otterbox whenever im not working and i want a new shiny case w me.....
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mlock420:
Ok one question I'd like to ask is for those whos had the zl batt for a couple months now I was wondering how long do you guys keep the phone charged nowadays after the 5 cycles of charging for the first time ..?are guys still charging 8 to 10 hours or just when the green battery full indication comes on?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nerys71:
I do not monitor or control charging. Its either as long as I am near power or overnight while sleeping.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mlock420:
Oh ok I just thought we had to charge over the full charge as in charge and hour past green...but I see what your saying thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] d12unk13astard:
I still charge til the green light comes on and battery full notification comes on, but it's not necessary imo because your still gonna get plenty of usage out of it before needing to plug it back in even if it's only at 50-75% charged.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] brsingr:
I noticed *when the thread with the really long OP that had pictures in it was still around* that there really isnt any protection for the battery itself...except for the rubber soft shell...seems if something bad happens to the battery part, then your SOL huh?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BigMosley:
Use the clip that came with it. Snap the phone into the clip backwards. If it falls your battery has extra protection.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] scooters29:
I have the Z lemon set up 80% of the time but convert to a flip case and stock battery for occasions when I don't appreciate the brick! For daily use though the Z lemon battery is awesome. I gave yet to run out of power and get 4 days heavy use.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Don164:
4 days, heavy use ? That's fantastic ! Would you happen to know how long it would last on light usage ?!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sauron82:
I think people should say what type of ROK they're running when posting battery life. Running CM, I don't get more than 3 days use with the ZL battery, with my standard amount of use. I usually get about 15 hours screen time. I'm guessing that 4+ days battery life is on TW., which is better on battery than CM.

Click thanks if I helped you
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] asianflavor:
So I have had the ZL battery a couple of months now. Been great just my S3 setup. But I now have a problem. I have an issue when ppl talk to me they hear an echo of their voice. This was only happening with any CM11/AOSP ROM. TW ROMs did not have this problem. I remember reading about the same echo issue with some Otterbox cases for some other phone. So tonight, I decided to put my stock battery back and flash Resurrection to test. The echo is gone. Not understanding why this is happening. The funnier thing is when I ran SlimKat from the old tree, there was no echo feedback. I decided to upgrade to the KK OTA to see if it would help but it didn't. Only taking the case and the ZL battery off corrected the issue. Now I'm not sure if it's a defective battery or something with case like the Otterbox issues that I read. Has anyone experience this?

Edit: Just found out that it is the TPU case that is causing the echo. If I remove it the other caller's echo is gone. Very strange.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] scooters29:
Stock rom. Mostly audio some video. Sat nav and gps . Lots of Internet. No power saving settings 2 hours phone calls every 12.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] warriorpluto:
They don't make a slim tpu case like that note 2?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BigMosley:
No.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Captain_Picard:
My only complaint of the zero lemon case for the Note 3 is regarding the usb port cover. I had to fold it under the phone so that it wouldn't cover those ports, which I found to be nothing but an annoyance, especially when I'm trying to connect my phone to the charger in the dark.

Here's what my case looks like with the cover flap folded back:

Other than that, this is a fantastic case, and I highly recommend it!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BigMosley:
So you tuck it inside and under the phone? Why not just cut it off then? I don't mind the port especially now that I only have to open it every 4 days to charge this monster!
