I had the ZL 9,300 mAh battery for my Note 2. And i loved it! I am a VERY heavy user and even with the Note 2 loaded with a custom rom + undervolted i had to charge my Note 2 2-3 times a day! When i came across the ZL it was a no brainer. A lot of people are worried about the size ... For me i dont put the phone in my pant pockets to size is never an issue. (Always goes in my jacket pocket!) For people that are travelers its perfect. With the Note 2 ZL battery i would get about 2 days of my heavy usage. (Power save on, screen on auto, and wifi, bluetooth, data only on when needed). But after I got the ZL, i got the habit of keeping everything on, the screen at 100% brightness and power saving off and my phone over clocked LOL! But even with that I got more than 1.5 days out of it. It was VERY VERY hard to kill the battery in 1 day!!!! .... Unless I'm traveling where I would use the functionality more conservatively to extend it .... i like to have my phone 100% power in the morning!

I ordered the ZL battery for my Note 3 literally the second it became available for sale. I live in Canada and the regular shipping was like $25 (5-10 days), and the expedited shipping (3-4 days) was about $60 ... so i stuck with the regular shipping. (Which I'm regretting now). They initially claimed the unit would ship December 4 .... but December 1 i got the email and tracking number and they say it was shipped. CANT WAIT!

Has anyone received his/her zerolemon yet?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] muhtesem insan:
you could at least read the first sentence of OP.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] :
excuse me?

My question was to people who bought them from the pre-order as first batch.

We all know Serverbob received it already. No need to react offensive without reading and understanding properly =)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
Well it was DHL/USPS. USPS picked it up from DHL n shipped it to the wrong town. I got a tracking number from Rami who seems to be answering all questions on ZeroLemon's Facebook page.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Cellc:
Order Dec 19, wife says battery is here today.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] breadtrk:
Ordered on the 20th, arrived today. No observable defects.

Now to find a good battery tracking app......
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Cellc:
Well it looks like I am going to like this case, the rubber is more sturdy like you said cragordon. I liked the Ballistic SG Max Case and it looks like I am going to love this one better because it ate the battery and protects my note 3;):good::good::highfive:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] greenlantern5:
Better battery stats is really good.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] FSake:
I bought mine on the 6th and it was shipped on the 8th, I received it on the 23rd. I live in Northern Ireland so it would probably take a few more days to get to Turkey. It's worth the wait, the battery is awesome. Down 20% battery with 5hours screen on time. Just general browsing at the moment. Would usually get 6hours with the stock battery just browsing.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MatroxD:
Better battery stats is really good. It's just the learning curve to it.

I love the battery so far. I could only get it down to 88 in 24 hours. That included an hour on youtube, a hour on netflix and a hour playing granny smith. It also charges much faster than I have ever had a battery charge for a cell

As far as the case, I've had otterbox and don't see any lacking quality or durability. I have large hands so the grip is much better with the add bulk of everthing.I we'll say that it appears a couple mm thinner than the note 2 version.

But so far for me, its ben great…
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Natelugo:
mine is doing the same. just curious what you ended up doing.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jcannon318:
I ordered mine on the 20th and got it yesterday. I am absolutely loving it. I love the design of the case. Makes the phone feel much more solid than normal. And I also agree with the fact that it does indeed charge very fast but it's actually difficult to kill this battery. I love it. Most likely will be my everyday case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] NinCaptain:
owned the S3 ZeroLemon

getting ready to buy this for note 3

Tomorrow when i can put $$$ in bank

may even buy the colored case
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nerys71:
something to consider. they might not be paying for TRACKING but just DELIVERY CONFIRMATION.

in some systems if you enter a delivery confirmation number it will show you the first step (what your seeing) and then NOT show you anything else until the package is "delivered" because they did not pay extra for tracking but just delivery confirmation ????

does anyone see "intermediate" steps? from first sorting to delivery?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MatroxD:
I did, but then, I paid the extra for 1 to 3 day shipping. And then, when USPS gave prime their tracking number, I signed up for text alerts. That way, at every stop and entry, I received a text. I order a lot, so this feature comes in handy..
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] JVogler:
I always setup text alerts for Amazon purchases. This is the first time the option wasn't available to me. I paid for all 3 delivery options, and tracking wasn't offered for any of them. They are obviously using different carriers, but I figured I would at least get tracking on the $19.99 shipping option to the U.S. If you don't mind me asking where are you getting your delivery (country), and is it a physical location or PO Box?

-- Note II, TapaTalk II--
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MatroxD:
USA and physical location. It probably was Bastrix who didn't enable it. Had to have been. I would guess theyre having a hard time keeping up with the demand for them. I know when I ordered mine, it was by luck, because it was the last one showing left in stock. I hope you guys get your shipments soon...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jaycb420:
Received my shipment yesterday. Case was easy to disassemble. The rubber is a lot more stiff then the other box. Which I prefer as it stays attached to the plastic casing much better. The hard rubber is also smooth so removing the phone from your pocket is done with ease.

The battery came with 60% charge. I installed it yesterday at 2 PM. I'm currently sitting at 19%. Here's some screen shots. I will post again when I get her down to 1%.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] greenlantern5:
This is on my first charge. I think my play services stays awake too long.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Chickencrisp:
Just got mine

I received the ZeroLemon battery on xmas eve and got it xmas day. Battery came with sixty percent battery and was very easy to disassemble and reassemble with the phone. At sixty percent my battery widget says I have a little over two days of usage. Wifi on and the random phone call or text. I'll post a youtube video once the battery settles.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jaycb420:
This battery doesn't die. I've been sitting at 1% for nearly an hour now. Had Google maps taking me home for 35 minutes. Been home for 15. She's still alive and kicking. Gsam says 12 minutes still to go. Just a beast. Zero lemon you've made a biblical battery
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] PowerMan572:
LoL OMG, that battery is huge! It's just not for me, from the pictures it looks ridiculous. I get about 2 days now of battery use with the standard Samsung battery, so I'm good there.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jaycb420:
But imagine. A full week. Without thinking about a charger.. it's essentially the size of an otter defender. Just slightly thicker. It does weigh a lot more though. After two days now I'm used to the weight and I think I actually prefer it. It's more solid in my hand. I feel less likely to drop it. If your considering buying any case I would definitely pencil this onto your list.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jaycb420:
They sell like hotcakes. I love mine. Can't see how I lived for months without it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BigMosley:
I dropped mine the other day from about 4 foot and didn't have any problem. It also had the clip on it also so I'm sure that helped alot with the fall.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] seigex:
I dropped mine from head level (i'm 6'1") onto concrete stairs because of a few too many drinks and trying to open the door with the same hand I was holding my phone in. Didn't even scratch or ding the case. Phone is perfectly fine, and case shows NO sign of dropping.

For the record I have the case with the plastic protector removed and the iLoome 9h hardness screen protector underneath.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] tsanchez31:
After a long wait of this battery I can say that I'm really happy with the results so far. It's bulky alright, but I love how it feels on my hand

Btw this is my first discharge.....
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] anonymous0123:
Did you follow the recommendation to charge the phone for 12hrs.

What does it mean by full cycles, drain to 0% and charge to 100%?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] muhtesem insan:
Mine arrived a few minutes ago. It's slightly larger than Mugen with my original note but not as I feared.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jaycb420:
I opened it put it in my phone. Was at 60% drained till it turned off. Then plugged in for 12 hours. I'm going to try and do 6 cycles. But it's not easy to kill this beast. Specifically early enough to leave it on charge for 12 hours. (Wake up at 5 am for work) but we shall see how it goes.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] anonymous0123:
Oh men. I might have misunderstood the direction. What i did was to plug it in my note 3 then plug it for 12 hrs.

Now i am draining it. Will that affect so much the battery life?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] :
I don't think so, I would do the same you did.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jaycb420:
Zero lemon has the steps directly on the battery. They state to charge it for 12 hours BEFORE use.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Natelugo:
Yes it does say that but my zerolemon past experience is it comes with 1 or 2 %.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jaycb420:
This one (for me atleast) came with 60%
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Natelugo:
Me too. I drained it to 1%. I dont think its going to hurt it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] robroy90:
Got mine also...

After "forever and a day" shipping, mine finally arrived.

I am impressed with the battery itself, but that is about it. The case feels like a cheap otterbox knock-off. I suppose it will serve its purpose as a portable hotspot for extended tethering when on the road, etc. I don't plan to use it as my daily driver by any means.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] marcus316:
First test I'm impressed got a 24 hrs with heavy use. I don't see how ppl getting 3 day's unless they're cutting stuff off and lowing the screen brightness, me everything on and my brightness is all the way up. But hey 2 day's no charge I'm happy 3 day I can't see it yet
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] NinCaptain:
I would think most of us don't go without using our phones for 12 hours
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] anonymous0123:
I had mine at 60%. Charged it while playing for 12hrs. (So excited) then it took 1 day and 5 hrs to bring the battery to 3%. Brigthness full, blutooth, wifi, gps everything on while playing clash of clans. I think that's heavy usage right? Amazing.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] lachapo88:
Just got my zl in the mail today, never got one update that it was in route what a joke! DHL sucks big time!!! Charging for 12 hours then gonna see how this bad boy really kicks ass!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MatroxD:
Total usage of lemon after initial charge out of the box. I was deciding between two different roms so you have to add the two together.. Total comes to 21 hours 16 minutes screen time and 3 days 9 hours and 4 minutes total..
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] byrds8:
Will the zerolemon battery and case fit the ibolt xpro dock for the car?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] breadtrk:
It sure does but forget about doing it one handed anymore. It will take both hands unless you have really strong hands. I'm going to see if there is any way to adjust the spring today, maybe take one of them out or something.

I also cut off the flap that covers the charging port simply because I didn't like fooling with it.

Now if anyone could chime in about a desktop dock that works........
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] cpufrost:
I need a hack for drop box! It stops camera upload at below 20% which I hit last night while at a train garden. I don't want to connect the charger just yet. I've been on battery for 4 days and 10 hours, currently at 17%. Screen time is over 11 hours and over 2 hours of Netflix with full brightness! This is on the first charge, battery arrived with 59% and was topped off to 100% and left connected about 5 hours after 100% was reached. It will probably get better with a few cycles and these cycles take days haha!

If anyone knows of a way to override the low battery upload stop on dropbox that would be great!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] NinCaptain:
Odd put battery in booted up while trying to put case on and it booted into safe mode

Anyone seen this ?

Edited For Ted A
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Ted A:
Enough of this "just got mine in the mail" and initial review comments already!

Who cares about your 4 days of battery life if you don't use your phone like it's meant to be used. The only thing that matters is your total screen time. Post that.

We need long-term review comments not only on the battery life after a month of use and abuse but also comments on the case, screen protector, speaker quality, etc.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] d12unk13astard:
It's actually quite easy, i use everything as well just not 100% of the time as its not necessary to run gps or 4G data when I'm at home. On the road sure but otherwise those can be shutoff to conserve battery, this phones display is bright enough even on 50% i usually have it running 50-75% and only turn it to 100 if in direct sunlight and can't see. I average about 2 days also but I've easily hit 3 even 4 days on this behemoth battery.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Dr.Pioneer:
Great color......
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] seigex:
Mine will hit 4 days in about 4 hours. I have moderate to heavy use, on wifi a good portion of the time and doing android development with Wireless ADB while rooted with heavy web browsing, texting and Google Hangouts including video chat. I'm currently at 11% at 3 days and 20 hours. I might be able to make it 4 and a half days before it goes back on the charger.

Just to add, this includes several reboots during my android development, the rooting procedure (rooting twice and unrooting once).

I use it one-handed with no issue, but i have fairly big hands (6'1" 250lbs).
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] :
Matrox what rom or font are you using. That font really looks clean wow I like it
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Hardcore73:
I still use the device one handed. 5'11 with no problems. Battery is amazing. I get around 2 days with heavy use and a ton of on screen time. I could easily get 4 days with moderate use and probably 24 hours on screen time. Screen auto, mostly Wifi, gps always on, blue tooth around 4 hours per day. Mostly Netflix, or Web browsing, Twitter, etc.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] PowerMan572:
I guess it's all in the user's preference :) I don't care about going a week without a charge. I wouldn't be caught dead carrying around that brick LoL

Going a solid 1 day (2 days if I am using my phone lightly) is more then sufficient enough for me :)

And for those that say it's a brick: ok and? So it's not for you, lol, no reason to try and bring down our joy(aka trolling). We love the lemon, it's life and the case.. Lol, vamoosh!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] seigex:
Guess you'll have to take my word for it. If you don't believe me, then feel free to assume I'm blowing hot air. Took it off the charger at 3pm on 12/24 after first charging it from that morning. Currently 4 days 3 hours on battery w/ 4% left.

I always leave gps on. It is only active when an app calls for it. If no app is running, it is not active and not affecting battery life.

Ok had to hitch to charger early this AM. Broke 5 days on first charge. This week is light phone wise but I'm not using the phone any differently than I would on the stock battery. Of course not talking is made up with about three hours of Netflix at full brightness.

To those of you using the screen at full brightness all the time you must be in very bright rooms!

I was down to 2%. TBH it would probably go another day (!) before it got down to shut off...

However, at this low % the phone feels sluggish due to aggressive power savings, the display is dimmer and cannot be cranked up, dropbox camera uploads are paused, etc. Hacks are needed to get around these limits so the pack can be "sucked dry". :cowboy: This battery would rock if you needed to do extended tethering, for example.

I do have to agree with others about the material kind of feeling cheap compared to the Otterbox. Especially the little doors covering the openings. Do remember, however the price of this case is the same as the Defender and it has a ten ampere-hour battery! Have to cut corners somewhere. I believe the balance of quality at this price point is good. Think back with people hacking the plastic shell of their Note II Defenders and stuffing in a big battery. Cost much more plus you had to be fairly good with a Dremel or you had a real hack job. Plus there was a bit of a bulge in the back not much different than say a pregnant guppy at ten days...

Finally I did notice immediately after connecting the charger (OEM Samsung, included with phone, 2.1A 5.2VDC) the % jumped right up to six. In just over an hour (71 min) the battery was up to 53%! I suspect you need to leave this puppy connected for hours after it reaches 100% or you may not be really topped off. Remember the charging circuitry in the phone was designed around 3.2Ah or just a bit less than a THIRD of this pack! And that 10Ah appears to be on conservative side, it may be closer to 11.5 or even 12Ah! :D

GOOD battery companies use a lower average for their advertised capacities since you "lose" capacity over time with lithium batteries.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] JVogler:
Well all my ZeroLemons have arrived. As I suspected the shipping is such a scam. My free shipping came first, 2 days later came the one I paid $19.99 for expedited shipping.

I've been testing shipping methods for years now and have almost always gotten the most expensive shipping method on the same day as free option. This is the first time the most expensive option came 2 FULL DAYS AFTER the free option though.

Overall the quality is exactly what you would expect for $60 made in China...but it's a necessity. The biggest letdown of all technology is how NO company in the world puts a reasonable OEM battery in their top of the line devices. There's just too many people who care about looks vs usability so why bother and make your device actually last all day. This battery will make your phone last all day, and that's all I care about, so well done ZeroLemon. It's asinine to make such a powerful device, but you can't use that power how you want because the battery will die halfway through your day. I wish Samsung would step it up. I would rather have battery technology be the only thing companys worked on for the next few years...and cool down on the pixel density race, processor power race, and make tham work for a whole day. I don't need yet another device with a few extra rows of pixels that I have to buy an aftermarket battery for.

A couple frustrating things you might want to modify, that I've done with no ill effect.

Cut corners of "clip case" because it oddly covers volume up more or less depending on orientation you choose to clip.

Cut off Spen/Speaker cover. Helps very slightly with volume, but if you use Spen as much as I do it's still a major pain. I will probably cut some of the plastic inner case later.

Re-drill top hole, above proximity sensor [IR]. None of my holes were centered correctly over Infra Red.

I finally just cut off all "tabs" as they were a major pain to open.

The bottom right side of device has a very small hole over a sensor, or microphone or something...again not centered correctly...re-drill.

I have a ZeroLemon for my S4. The first one lasted 4 months before it wouldn't hold a charge anymore. They recently replaced it with a new one, which I'm currently using and its working like a charm. I may or may not buy one, but I do recommend buying one if you're taking your phone out for a length of time.

How is everyone's NFC working? With stock battery/back NFC worked awesome (the best of any phone I've owned). I could easily scan tags instantly from any distance up to about 15 cm. Now I have to actually be touching the tag, and even then it's hit or miss with quite a few read errors. I've gotten a couple tags to read with a 1 cm gap max. So the OEM has a 1500%+ greater distance range? I wasn't expecting that much of a drop off.
