I scored a 70% off coupon from ZeroLemon for the new LG G6 case in exchange for a review of it. Ordered from Amazon and got it same day. $18 delivered.
I've used ZeroLemon before on a Nexus 4 and it was cheap plastic, broke easily, and ended up in the trash after a week.
However, the material quality on this G6 case is much more durable. The phone slides easily into the case and is ready for charging. The indicator lights on the back light up when you short-press to see how much battery is in the pack. A long-press will turn the case power on and off. This is a great design...on the power on/off side.
The front of the case barely hugs the edge of the phone and takes the bottom on the phone and gives the speaker a big boost of sound. I like that very much.
Ok..the BIG HOWEVER...is this case is so SO big. It literally DOUBLES the bulk of the phone and don't think about putting it in your shorts pocket...it is heavy and will drag them down. Trust me.
At this point, I'm calling this the ALMOST CASE...or my Weekend Warrior case. There is no way I will use this as a daily, always on case. It doesn't come out of the pocket easy, it required TWO HANDS now to keyboard and touch the screen.
NFC? Nope...too bulky. Wireless charging? Nope, but with the battery, you don't need it.
So, at this point, I'm going to see what comes next in the world of G6 Battery Cases. The ZeroLemon 8000mah battery just makes this too big. Maybe if they put a 4000-5000mah on instead, it would shrink it and make it easier to use in one hand.
So...who else has one? wants one? Has a question?
