why no extended battery cases ?

I find the back and sides a bit slippery, may use those anti-slip tapes on the back (that some use on skateboards, or outside steps). I've used those before with alot of success

it is a bit slippery.. the length is exactly the length of the V20.

I'm charging mine right now.. i was able to get 2 full phone charges (or close to it) through this case. I'm charging it for the first time since the initial 12 hour charge.

Wow two full charges is amazing. Almost justifies it's heft

So length wise it's almost exactly the same length as my wife's iPhone 7 plus

Again it's the damn weight that's bothering me. I'll try this anti-slip tape tomorrow and see if it'll help

I got one 0 to 100% charge, and one 15 to 70% charge. Obviously the poster who estimated 1.5 earlier was more correct than me. I didn't account for when using the phone and charging it, it takes more mAh total. Either way, knowing i have nearly two full charges is awesome. I haven't minded the weight as much as I thought i would after a day and a half.

Definitely going to follow the Motorola Moto Mod strategy of charging the phone when hitting 20% then stopping it at 80%. Supposedly that's the most efficient range to charge a phone.

I think I was the poster of 1.5 full charges lol

But glad after some time the weight isn't as big an issue. Only had it for a few hours and then charging it overnight.

For me if I can make it less slippery, I think the weight will be less an issue

That's technically how I envision using mine.

So first day of using the ZEROLEMON. and I was pretty rough on the phone. Charged phone from 20% -80% while still using phone. And still have 3 lights on case. Very impressed

Today was my first phone charge after the "second" charge (first after the initial 12 hour charge).. I've been using my phone fairly normal this go around. I charged it from 20% to 100% (I wanted to see if it would turn off all by itself).. I don't know how long it was on 100% but it didn't shut off.

 

[mchi5]

The sides of the Zerolemon is a bit slippery so I went to Home Depot, got some anti-slip tape and placed it around the sides, and helps a lot toward it's grip. Makes holding this massive case a bit easier.

Wow that's disappointing to find that out. Guess I probably won't be charging the phone with only the case overnight. I thought most battery cases shut off when it reaches 100%

that's why I mentioned I'm not sure how long it was on 100.. I'll try it again and see what happens.

 

[mchi5]

Still on my first full battery drain test. So far have 2 led lights on case and have charged phone about 125% already (and I used the phone alot during it's charging too)

As for the weight, after about two days I've gotten used to the weight. It doesn't bother me anymore which is a good thing. Those anti-slip tape I think helps alot with that

 

[mchi5]

Well my battery case just died. Got about 165% total charge from it which doesn't sound that great but again I used it alot while it was charging the phone. I'm sure if I left it alone, I probably could have gotten 200% charge from it (two full charges )

What's weird is the LED lights aren't very accurate. It stayed on 2 LED lights for a while , then went to one LED light. But between one light and dead, it went very fast.

Yeah that was my experience. I think you'll get 2 full charges, like you said, if you didn't use the phone. 1.5+ if using it.

Still worth it in my opinion. This will get me through a day no matter the usage.

 

[Jeremiah Bonds]

I'm on my second cycle and I have one light.. I've charged my phone from 20-100 twice.

That's crazy. When I was on one light, I went from 25%-50% and then it died.

I agree it's definitely worth it. I may have to charge it every night but at least it'll definitely get me thru an entire day without any worries

And that's all that I want. I want to guarantee myself that no matter how I use the phone, when I take it off the charger at 5:30am, I will be able to make it to 10:00pm. Without the case, I always need some charge. This is just what I need.

I agree. Especially when I'm traveling. At airports I see people sitting on the nasty floor so they can charge their phones. Guess it never occurred to them to get a portable battery bank/charger?

Also I work 12 hour days, and although I can charge at work, it makes it must easier to not worry about it
