Actually the black would be kind of interesting on a silver phone

I started out sporting the black one, but switched to the silver. The contrasts liven up the appearance. Got for it! My battery use is pretty heavy, much of it on the LTE network, is over two days before recharging at about 2%. But it's still learning my usage (only have charged twice in 6 days; breakin period).

Decided to give the Zerolemon another cycle.

81 hours up time
18h 47m SOT

Auto brightness
About 70% WiFi, 30% cell
Location set to GPS only because that's how I always have it
3 E-mail accounts all set to push
Rooted but with stock kernel so no kernel tweaks

So what's the verdict.... That Zerolemon is a beast but at least it's a protective case. I like the Perfine size but the shape is odd. Wish ZeroLemon would make the smaller one.
When I get some extra cash might order both and send one back.

My review of the ZeroLemon is live on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/review/R3A63...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU5664785

Summary: battery life is exceptional, but the case is not for everyone. It is as uncomfortable as it looks. The bulk doesn't bother me as much as the shape of the case does.

The question you need to ask yourself is whether or not two day battery life is worth the discomfort. It's not terrible, but it is noticeable. For me, it's worth it just not being anxious anytime my battery drops before 50%.

It's less bulky than carrying a power bank and it's less of a hassle than quick charge or swapping batteries. If you're okay with having to always plug in or swap batteries, then don't worry about this and carry on. If you don't like having to plug in or swap out, then consider an extended battery (notice I didn't specifically say the ZeroLemon battery).

Unless you absolutely need 10000 mAh or you unless you absolutely hate having to ever charge or swap your battery, then I'd actually recommend a 6000 mAh extended battery instead. The ZeroLemon is great for what it is, but 10000 mAh is excessive and probably unnecessary.

If you want the most power possible, though, and don't mind that it's a bit uncomfortable to hold, then, by all means, get the ZeroLemon.

So far, I've had the Perfine battery for 6 days, and I find the 6400 mAh battery to be quite sufficient. I followed charging directions and it's giving me about two full days of power. I've texted, phone calls, bluetooth (for my Gear S3), Facebook (a power hog), searched...just about everything imaginable. I started with a full charge this morning and I'm at 63% at 12:15 a.m. I usually turn my phone off when I go to bed, so I'm good for at least another full day. The battery is relatively slim and hardly adds any weight. So I would recommend it if you don't need a humongous device in your pocket or hand. And I don't mind charging to full power every two days.

Hi guys!
Been reading lots on here and am enjoying my V20 here in Australia!!!

BUT...cant seem to find anyone here that sells extended battery with a backing! like this: Hyperion LG V20 Extended Battery + Back Cover - Hyperion Electronics Accessories

asked all USA sellers and they wont ship to Australia :(

can anyone help?

That kit is sold on Amazon. Will they not ship to Australia? They also sell the Perfine kit, which has two backs, black and silver. It's the same specs and looks exactly the same. I have been rocking it for a couple of weeks and love it.

I'm in the middle of my second charge on my Hyperion 6400 mAh battery. Usage today, I did what I usually do, except plug my phone in during navigation and I got 24 hours of life, 5 hours of screen and was at 45 percent. The instructions says to charge nightly despite readings to train the battery. But this thing is a beast without adding much extra bulk.

Just an odd shape and no case to fit.
Someone on XDA actually cut out a square in Ringke case so it would fit.
