[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] scooters29:
Been using the Z Lemon for several weeks now and here are my impressions so far:

- rubber case and skeleton case are excellent bits of kit and highly useful. I typically don't use the 'clip' holster as it makes it just too bulky for my purposes.

- build quality is superb for the money

- I wasn't bowled over with the screen protector so I carefully removed it. I then bought a Zagg nano plastic self repairing screen protector which I am very impressed with. You can get them cut for fitting with a case. I removed the Zlemon screen protector from the case, carefully removed the glue and then applied the Zagg to the phone screen. I'm guessing you could do this with any quality screen protector and there would be enough 'give' in the case for your preferred protector/tempered glass screen

- the belt clip on the holster, bear in mind the whole shebang weighs rather a lot, a bit like having a handgun hanging on your belt so you will need a good quality belt with sufficient breadth to clip to. You'll also be wearing this to the side unless you lack a beer gut! getting in and our of cars can cause the holster to catch and the clip to disintegrate, it doesn;t break up but the spring can get pinged out and you then have to locate the parts and reassemble. Because of this I tend not to use the holster.

- The rubber case doesn't attract lint/scratches etc and despite heavy use looks good after 5 weeks, it's not particularly soft like silicon

- the flaps protecting the sockets are OK and seem to be well made to resist frequent use. The stylus one is best with it's built in solid plastic support. the recharge and headphone covers could be better as they need to be pushed below the level of the case surface to stay in position after a few weeks. So fat they so no sin of falling to bits, again build quality is superb despite heavy use.

- the car mounting device for this kit is fantastic, by far in the way the best quality cradle for the price I have so far identified .

it's made by slipgrip and is specifically designed for SGN3 with Zerolemon - ebay here:

despite the weight of the kit the car holder secures it to the windscreen well and it's only fallen off when not mounted with attention or when the windscreen has a slight curve which I haven't noticed (I drive a 1985 Citroen CX and due to the curved windscreen, unless I mount the phobe dead in the middle the sucker can work loose.

Daily use of the Zerolemon -

well, so far so good. The battery life is amazing and so far I have not had the phone run out of juice. I have noticed that a partial charge - ie 45% to 100% results in lower charge life than a full charge 2% to 100%. Also, the 30% low battery warning can be frustrating - at 33% you have the charge of the factory battery left with the Z Lemon.

Screen use and wifi searching seem to hammer the battery more than anything else. Set up to a modest brightness with normal day to day use (as opposed to watching netflix in hospital all day) I get a good 3-4 days if required between charges and that includes a good hour + per day messing around on Minecraft PE

It's a bulky and heavy assembly and I tend to carry it rather than pocket it. If I do pocket it I find the Galaxy Gear invaluable as I can answer most calls without having to dig the phone out and also send texts - the S voice text system is simply superb on the Gear.

There are occasions when I need a slimmer and less bulky phone and I fit the stock battery and back for this. However, I have found that my stock battery rarely lasts me a day mostly because I have such poor battery discipline as the 10000mAh allows you to disregard such power pinching and use whatever you want whenever you want. I'm going to have to set up a 'stock' battery power profile I think.

would I buy it again - definately. It's not outrageously expensive, is superb value for money, is very well made and its a must if you ever have the occasion to require supersonic battery life even if only a few times a year - eg a transatlantic flight - you can watch movies, listen to music/audible and use Kindle or hand it to the kids to play Candy Crush knowing that even if they are at it for 10 hours there will still be enough juice to call your taxi driver when you land...no more the panic of a foreign land and no power when all your booking details are saved on your phone! (we've all been there!)
