UPDATE DEC 2 2013: GPS results - Damn Amazing see below

Simply put this is this greatest thing since sliced bread! The whole package is solid and feels super sturdy. I saw on their Facebook Page that other zerolemon rugged cases are too slippery but they added a rougher texture in this time.

Let’s talk about….. Packaging

It comes with:

1)	The 10000mAh Battery (of course)

2)	The Rugged Case

3)	A Holster that serves as a kickstand for your video needs

4)	A backplate

5)	An Introductory Card

6)	An Instruction Manual

All in a neat aluminum foil bag that came along with it.

Let’s talk about…… Size

This as expected is pretty big no doubt at 155x88x19.2mm. The total weight of phone + case + battery is at 340g which can be hefty for some people but ok for me. I prefer to hold something more sturdy.

Let’s talk about…… Battery Performance

The performance on this battery is absolutely mindblowing. This is my first zerolemon and definitely won’t be the last one.

I put the battery into a loop test with mx player cycling a 1080p clip at 30% brightness just for kicks and the phone literally went on for 2 DAYS without stopping. Here are some results to show the prowess of this battery pack.

Anyways, I’m bringing this up for a drive from Florida to Missouri so let’s see how this goes. I’ll post more practical real use stats once I get more out of this battery

I tried using the NFC on my friend’s Galaxy S4 phone and works perfectly. Just a slight tap on the back of the phone

Let’s talk about…… Case

The case is a hard plastic + soft shell design case. The type that you see typically Otterbox’s making. Not only zerolemon is good at making battery but they are damn good in making cases too. The rugged case on first sight feels very sturdy without the armor styling that you see with other brands like ballistics. It looks very subtle but definitely can tell it will take some major impact if necessary. The case side has dotted pattern for easier grip and makes it very hard to slide off your hands.

The case jack covers are securely in place and buttons are easy to press (get that nice feedback). All the microphone and speaker holes are well aligned.

The case also comes with a screen protector which you can easily take off if need to. I kept mine on and it does a pretty decent job.

Since this is a rugged case, it is built to drop (especially necessary when you have a 340g phone). The case’s corner are raised which helps impact absorption. I haven’t drop my phone yet (pray that won’t happen) but if ever did, this case will definitely save its behind if it ever happens.

Installation was a breeze with the instruction manual. Just need to take off the soft shell first then the hard plastic, then slip the phone inside and shut the PC. Slip the battery at the back and the soft shell then you are ready to go.

It also comes with a backplate for those regular batteries. Quite a nice touch for times I don’t need to carry at 10000mAh battery but still want the rugged protection. It’s also easier to access the microSD and sim card slot now with the backplate easily remove after you take out the soft shell

Camera and flash still works like a charm. The case hasn’t affect these functions at all.

Let’s talk about…… Holster

OK. I know some people may think why they add a holster (so 1990s) but in fact it is more useful than I originally thought it will be

It acts both a holster and as a kickstand. There are different standing angle that makes the phone easy to have various angles.

I don’t use a belt so the belt clip function serves differently for me. I hook this holster up to my messenger bag strap and it fits perfectly! The phone can be inserted to the holster with screen facing inside. That protects it from external damage to screen.

Let’s talk about…… Price

I got this for $59.99 on Amazon. I compared around other solution and there’s no brand that has this extended battery + rugged case combo. It also cost as much as an Otterbox (which is also 59.99 on Amazon) which makes me think this is an absolutely great deal when you get a battery with a rugged case just as, if not, better than Otterbox’s. Mugen has a Note 3 battery for 98.50 dollars with 60% of the capacity which is a total ripoff compare to this set.

Conclusion: 9 /10

The whole package feels so solid it’s quite incredible how low of a price it is asking for that is almost unbelievable. Adding up a Mugen with otterbox will end up to be around 160 dollars plus needing to dremel the otterbox case to make the mugen battery fit (which is also smaller capacity).

The Battery is definitely unbelievable as results shows and the case is just top notch. The only thing I don’t like so much is the weight but if you have so much good stuff in one package, guess it has to go somewhere

Really good stuff Zerolemon!

Astonishing Battery Life

GPS results:

I'm using Google Map for a roadtrip from East Coast to West. Barely any stops in between and phone act as our GPS unit.

The results are truly increditble. At 30% brightness we lass through 1 day and 18 hours of GPS. That's just insanely long. I took this at 12% battery left. It can surely go on for much longer!

This could very well be the world's longest lasting battery for any smartphone!
