[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Semantics:
Full disclosure, I was given this unit to review and give my unbiased opinion of the product. **Lots of pictures incoming**

Okay, lets start. I've used several ZeroLemon battery packs on different phones and this arrived packaged like all of them. The usual instruction cards in a plain white box. I wasn't sure what to expect when I opened the box, but I was glad to see this wasn't some crazy three part case that needed to be put together like the old one I had for an LG phone. If you've ever used a Mophie, you will be familiar with the way this case looks and feels.

I plugged the case in and charged it up, it took about an hour to fully charge and I grabbed my phone and slapped it in the case. This is a one piece case, the top is quite flexible so you start at the bottom with the USB connector and then pull the top up a little and slip the phone in. The phone went in easily enough and you reverse the process to remove it. Pull the top up and push the phone out from the bottom. The case obviously adds some bulk, I mean, it's a 5000mah battery. It has a very nice matte finish so no finger prints is a plus. You'll notice that my edge to edge screen protector which I've not gotten around to getting rid of yet isn't playing very nice with this (or any case).

There is a deep well in the back but it wasn't difficult to reach the finger print scanner and it works fine. I did notice using gestures to pull the notification tab down was normal, raising it was a bit tricky due to the bulk of the case, but after figuring it out, it works fine. There is a small learning curve. The case does have a slight lip at the top and bottom to protect the screen when face down and the sides of the case are higher than the Samsung Rugged Case but do not interfere with the edge at all. I'm not a huge fan of the buttons to be honest. They are pretty flat, they work well enough, but they aren't exactly easy to find. The cutouts are all perfect and it's not terribly difficult getting the S-Pen out. I did not need an adapter to use my 3.5mm headphones.

Battery performance. So I charged the case fully and went to work with my phone at about 40% battery. I turned the case on at 5:40pm and let it do it's thing. Its not a fast charging battery, obviously, but after about 75 minutes I was at 80% charge (Where I pull my phone off the charger). I still had two bars lit up on the back of the case and the third was flashing when I powered it off. (Hold the button down for 3 seconds to turn the case on and off). I need to do more testing, but I'm sure I could charge my phone to full and have a little left over to top off without issue.

Final thoughts. Battery cases are the sort of thing that I usually have for situations when I am traveling or I am going to be out in the field for 12 hours or more. This won't replace my Samsung Rugged Case as my daily driver, but it's certainly going to be useful when I am flying or working long hours so it will always be charged and in my backpack. I'd recommend this case if you like the Mophie, especially, because its about 65 dollars cheaper and does exactly the same thing. Great job on this one ZeroLemon, maybe make the buttons stick out a bit more if you ever do a revision!
