Got mine yesterday I ordered it on Amazon the 25th.

Love it so far still draining it so I can do a full charge, but the case the battery the weight it all feels really nice.. I'm also certain I could use it as a club now if circumstances arose. It's been on with normal use for about 15 hours and only gone down 15% I'm happy :) been on Wifi the whole time so I expect a bit more drain while I'm out.

Anyone know if they will be selling a tpu case like gn2 and gs4?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] vikramdhani:
I am so tempted to get this but then it will make my phone super bulky and heavy
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] byrds8:
Only about 5oz heavier than the Thunderbolt was with the extended battery. All things considered that's not too bad since the phone is way bigger than the TB was. Overall with the extended battery and case it weighs about the same as a can of soda.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] :
Anyone ever wondered what they do with returned products?

Defective or working, I'm curious what they do with it..
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Grimlock1973:
I assume they examine if the returned battery and case have any defects or damage and if they don't they just repackave it and sell again. 99% of retailers do this to keep costs down and to eliminate excessive storage space. For the seriously damaged items they probably send it back to the manufacturer.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Ambkor:
If I am honest with you all guys, I am still at school and I will go to college, my plan with this huge battery case was just keeping my phone on my bag and get me an smartwatch and just check it when I really need it, but the galaxy gear is way to expensive and I hear about the Gear2, and I am not sure about getting the pebbles. What y'all recommend? :confused:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] avramig08701:
I'm in school, and I use the pebble. It's great for looking at notifications in class.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] JVogler:
First off, thanks for being honest. There are many options for getting notifications remotely. I assume since you got the ZeroLemon battery for your phone you would prefer the Pebble as the Gear's battery is HORRIBLE and you will be constantly charging it. Pebble SDK 2.0 is almost out of Beta which adds a lot of functionality also. Another option, is using the smallest BT headset you can find. It's very difficult for me to be taking my phone out at work for every incoming notification...so I just have them read to me over a BT headset using eCID...a great app for having all your notifications read to you. You can have your emails, text messages, read to you on-demand...and even reply without ever taking your phone out of your pocket.

If you go the Pebble route be sure to use a 3rd party Notification handler such as Peblify or similar to customize which Notifications you get on your Pebble.

I ordered one and going to give it a try when it arrives. I'll let you guys know. I hope this one holds

I know the iBolt works, but I really hate windshield docks.

EDIT: actually thinking about it now. Has iBolt a dock for the note 3 + zerolemon that you can attach on your dashboard as well as on the windshield? That would maybe an option for me

That is where I have mine mounted. I didnt need any additional hardware either. Mine just worked with the standard suction cup on my dash.

for those who might be interested, I send zerolemon a mail (again =D) if there were plans for a less bulky/TPU case.

Hi

Thanks for your interest. We are currently in design stage of the case and will let you know once we have a new design ready.

Agreed, and even tho I've never dropped my phone naked (the phone too..) it's nice knowing if I do its plenty safe from a drop and makes it that much easier to sell for an upgrade to the next note in Oct/Nov :P
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BigMosley:
I believe it is. I read on the ZeroLemon's Facebook page they have completely switched over to the rugged cases.

I'd rather the rugged case personally. If I wanted a thinner version I'd go with the 6400mah mugen or whatever it is.

Im just curious.. Im trying to find a quicker way to drain the battery so I can get through its initial 6 cycles. I am currently running youtube or another video via wifi , full brightness, everything on and still, it is taking a full day to bring down. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jaycb420:
Run a full screen game. Or download StabilityTest and have it run your cpu continuously at 100%. Should drain it in a quicker fashion

However your phone will get quite hot. 60°C (cpu temp)

Sent from the beast we call the Note 3
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] repsol_23:
I would never suggest running programs that will put your phone cpu in a constant on state for any extended periods of time. While it be able to all function afterwards the high heat is detrimental for your components.

I run a water chilled gaming computer simply because of the high heat from overclocking. On a low humidity and low Dew point night I can easily run my cpu and video cards at temps near freezing!

Just my .02 from an avid overclocker!

Oh ya this battery is killer Got mine and charged the 12hrs but after that it took 3 days and some hours and was still at 5%

It's going to take some time just to get through the 6 charging cycles

my opinion ZL could of charged more $$$ and I still would of bought it
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BigMosley:
I'd say tether to your smart TV (if you have one) and run Netflix on your phone and on the TV at the same time.

I get quite a bit of drain running high Def movies on my phone. I watched the hobbit 1080p with 5.1 audio with headphones on high Brightness and it chewed up a hell of a lot of battery.

Tap'n & Talk'n on my Note 3
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] JVogler:
What I did was:

Always have a GPS tracking program running in the background so it's constantly maintaining a lock.

Full brightness obviously.

Use a pop-out video player to play a 2nd video while you play a game.

I also used an app to keep my proximity sensor on 100% of the time which oddly is a big battery drain.

I ran the battery down in under 8 hours.

Fantastic Product & A Very Thorough Review

Great review! You really got into all the details of the battery case, I am getting my Galaxy Note 3 in a few days. I did have a Galaxy S3 with LiquidSmooth ROM, it was nice but I had it for two years now and I was starting to feel outdated, it was a great phone. I heard the Galaxy Note 3 already had a great battery life, however, I was glued to my S3, using it all day, so this Note 3 should be no different for my usage. With the 10,000mAH I should be able to use the phone as much as I want without having to worry about the battery life. Great pictures by the way, it gave me an idea of how thich the case would be. Thanks and good work on the review!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] JVogler:
I forgot to add I would NOT run six full charge/discharge cycles. The only real benefit of this with modern lithium batteries is to let the phone know what voltage levels are 0% and 100% so it can calibrate your percent reading. One time is enough for that.

Here are some links with suggestions that I followed with the Mugen I have in my original Note, and it's still running great after well over 1100 charging cycles.

If your battery stops holding a charge after only a few months, it's likely from running it down super low all the time...and charging it to 100% for long periods.

What a joke. DHL has to be the absolute worst service. I called them to find out about my package to get some sort of ETA since their website has 0 info on it. They received/processed it between 12am and 2 am on the 31st. There it sat until the 2nd to even leave and they tell me I should get it by the 13th. I asked why so long and their response was the sender paid for 8 business days. I explained that means I should have it no later than the 10th since they got it on the 31st and she wanted to argue about how my math was incorrect lol. This is why most people use FedEx. They are just lousy to take 2 weeks to get out like this.

I have this battery coming tomorrow and I had a question for those of you who already have it.

I'm thinking on getting the SD to microsd adapter. Is there enough room in the case for it?

If need be I will take the SD card apart and remove the SD card holder on the adapter and solder it together so it will take up less space.

Any thoughts?

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sfsilicon:
I've had an Otterbox before and could tell from the pictures that this new ZL version would be big as well. As several people have mentioned I would prefer if they sold a version with a TPU case similar to their previous designs (had the S3 and Note 2 versions). The new case design is such that you can't easily take it on or off and from the reviews is not a high quality as other cases. This case might be great for people going hunting or planning to use it 24x7, but in the case of my Note 2 ZL it was so heavy that I would get wrist stress when reading in bed. I also like having the option to quickly swap out the batteries so I can have a light weight device for day to day usage and a ZL for long flights or days where I'm away from a power source. Finally the $60 price tag is a shocker. It seems ZL added $5-10 for the case to improve their margins. I'm guessing they are not using class A cells, since a ZL lasts less than 3x the stock battery. So I'm estimating the average battery cost is less than $10 to produce.

Given all these factors (and a lot of researching) I decided not to get a ZL for my Note 3 and went for the 2x + charger Anker deal. Anker uses class A cells and is one of 3 reputable battery resellers. I've seen reports of the batteries being close or equal to stock Samsung batteries. I'll revert back to my battery DJ'ing days. With a nice soft GEL case, I can quickly swap batteries as well. ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MatroxD:
I actually decided after the third cycle to just let the rest go normally. It's time for the 4th charge(I'm at 12%) right now. I generally, as with my previous zl and my Samsung batteries, only went down to 5% the first charges and then generally after that,I would let it go down to 8 to 10. Lol, but this battery lasts so long that who knows what I will settle on. I know it is nice to not have to worry for extremely long periods of time..

But no,I agree that I don't bring mine down extremely low.

But on the flip side, lol, I ended up needing to run gps, two pop up Windows running both Netflix and YouTube and then playing Granny Smith to drain it in a single day.. Even at that, it was so close to the end of the day when it got down to 8 that I just decided to let it go and do it naturally. I actually had my co-workers laughing about it.

Nonetheless, thanks for the cycle tips.. I appreciate it..
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] JVogler:
Nowadays most people will upgrade their phone so often the best way to use your battery is whatever is easiest. I wasted too much time with my last bettery trying not to stress it often. If I charge this every other day...2 years will only be 365 cycles...I'll have moved on to another phone before then. Your time has to be worth something...

Charging the battery

I saw alot of people see their battery hanging at 5%, 3%, 1%, etc- I'm going to try using a battery calibration app and see how that goes. I just got my 0L today and I'm going to use Battery Calibration by NeMa. Free on the Market, requires root. I'm also hoping that it will keep me from having to cycle it 6 times to realize the full potential of the battery.

One thing I also noticed is that while the phone will say 100%, it is still charging... unplugging it at this point could cause it to not see full charge which may lead to those errors above.

As for shipping, I received mine in one week. Ordered Dec 28, got it in the mailbox today. standard shipping.

Build quality, I was neither impressed nor unsatisfied. I popped the screen protector out, was pretty easy to do, as I'm using a Spigen Glas.t.

The power button is kinda stiff, but I normally tap the home button to wake anyway. All in all, the small sacrifices should be worth the monster runtime.

I'm coming from a Droid Razr MAXX HD, which I frequently saw 2 days out of, so I'm pretty stoked about this deal.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] GloriousGlory:
The button response is kinda bad, especially during winter. The rubber gets harder during the cold weather.

I hope they make another case for the ZL battery, hopefully one of the TPU variety

Help :(

I just got this case.. I was trying to fit the battery inside the hard part of the case and it didnt fit... So i kept forcing it and the little thing of the bottom of the battery cover brake, I can still use it if i put the soft cover part on, but should I send it back saying they brought me a bad one? And the volume bottoms are the worst part of this case. OR is just only me? Also, everytime I boot it up is say : Safe mode. I know that i just need to turn it off and on again and it will go away, but its kind of annoying.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] NinCaptain:
some pictures would help with what broke

and there is no battery cover

what covers the battery is when you put on the soft part of case

it's going into safe mode because when you turn phone on you must be hitting the menu button

Should have read the tread, and probably manual?? that battery door you've tried to install is for the use with a stock battery.

As for safe mode, I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the battery...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Ambkor:
No no, i read the manual and everything, but the battery was kind of thick, at least that's was i though because i when i tried to put the cover of the battery it didnt fit... so i just tried to force it and it broke. I can use it with the soft case but... I am just wondering that maybe was not my fault... Here are some pictures. And I also know how to put those battery back covers.. I know i didnt put it on the wrong side or starting on the wrong side.. It just didnt fit.. :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] NinCaptain:
no crap that battery cover don't go on with the ZL battery

like OMG-FFS said if you use the stock battery then you use the hard plastic back

with the ZL battery you now put on the soft rubber to complete the case
