I recently bought the "Power Case" for Galaxy S4
The product is made in China but "seems" to comply with FCC or CE requirements
This version of "Power Case" has a simple cover on it but doesn't turn On/Off the Galaxy S4 screen like the official Samsung Cover Flip does.
The protective case looks robust and you have to stretch it ton insert your mobile inside.
It also has a stand in the back.
The male micro USB position is not perfectly adjusted to the GS4 female micro USB which position is little lower.
Once retracted the case fits pretty well the GS4
The battery is 3200 mAh which is 123% the capacity of the GS4 stock battery.
Few leds indicate the remaining charge.
On/Off Power button is set on the front
No USB cable included
the price is around 30 USD or cheaper
Would rate this 7 out 10

3200 mAh of external battery means about 2000 mAh of actual capacity since these batteries loose at least 30% due to efficiency conversion through usb port. Plus 500mA of output charge will mean a very slow charging equivalent to you charging a phone from laptop usb port. For the reference, it will charge 4-5 slower than your oem 2A wall charger.
Just keep that in mind
Iam looking at a similar product
hey i think i saw this product without the flip though
looking to buy this myself
could we get more pics with the fone please ?
My local mall sells this exact case comes in same package and everything for $65 and near by fleamarket sells them for $45 feels very cheaply made but it does do its job which is charge the phone, bro picked one up for his s3 and it charges the phone from dead to about 60% before case dies
I bought the case and now I am looking for a protective case that will fit it. Any suggestions?

I'm looking for a cradle with an extra battery charging slot that can hold the Anker or Chichitech extended batteries. The cradle I got off the Mugen site has a slot that is only thick enough for the standard battery. The Chichitech and Anker batteries are the slightest bit thicker, and won't slide into the battery charging slot. My HD2 cradle allowed the spare batter to lay flat behind the phone, so I'd imagine that style would fit the extended batteries.
With my current cradle, I can't charge the Chichitech/Anker batteries outside of the phone unless I use the travel charger.
Bumperoo...anybody know of a cradle that can support an Anker or Chichitech battery?
Gracias.

I know that the Kidigi docks do NOT charge the Anker/Chichi batteries . The slot
for the extra battery is barely big enough for the stock battery . Since the Anker
and Chichi batteries are thicker its a no go .

Yeah, I have a cradle currently that taught me that lesson the hard way. It isn't labled "Kidigi," but it looks the same, and I'm betting it came from the same factory.
My problem with kpjimmy's referral is that I tend to avoid buying products from web sites that I've not heard of before. I'll probably try to find kpjimmy's pictured dock on Amazon or eBay (as if that were more reputable) and buy it from there.

I hear ya. I been buying stuff from daydeal.com for a number of years. Ever since my Sony Ericsson T28 days lol.
Anyways here's another shop. Same price and I have bought shopped there in the past as well.

Edit: Just got a discount code HTCP11 10% off
Sorry to bomb your thread, but I just purchased a cradle. However, with my case on the phone the plug isn't long enough to go past my case into my phone. is there some sort of mod or something I can purchase to make it longer?
Edit: nevermind I think i'll start my own thread, found a major problem with my new cradle =\
These just arrived:

Black one for me (dark S4), white one for wife (white S4).
Her's has a switch on the back to choose between for charge mode (via micro-usb) vs. audio out mode (via 3.5mm audio cable), mine has a slot to charge a spare battery in the back. It doesn't charge when set to audio-out. The white one came w/two USB cables - one for a power adapter, one for computer.
Our S4s fit easily into the dock w/their cases on (we're using the slim TPU-like cases that Costco includes w/the phones), with some wiggle room on each side and front-to back. The micro-USB connection is tight enough that you have to use two hands to put it in or take it out, which I prefer for safety/stability. (There are comments in the reviews regarding cases the docks work/do not fit.) The docks come w/their own 1.5A charger and cable, but we just connected the micro-USB charging cord that Samsung provides w/the phones to the back of the docks.
The docks come w/an insert that you can leave in for a phone w/out a case, or remove if you are using a case.
The two docks look pretty much exactly the same except for their configuration for battery charging vs. audio out/charge switch, but they come from two different suppliers and have different names. But the source manufacturer certainly looks like it's the same.
For $25 we're pretty happy, takes up very little space on the nightstand, appears to be well enough made, and the fit is good w/the case on, which has always been an issue w/other phones we've owned, not fitting, or not fitting well w/a case on. Would buy these again...
Dock w/charge and audio-out modes (via switch on back)

Yeah, the main point of this thread was that these docks work w/out having to remove the case, which for many of us is a must. Taking the case off and putting it back on every day gets very annoying, very quickly.
Had anybody tried one of these?

The back says 4200mAh: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4800-mAh-...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item3cec204d9d
So probably will be far from even 4000mAh:

Not bad when you need it in pinch. I've used these cases before.
Never understood why the people who make these batteries do not like protecting the front face of the phone. Only one that does it is molphie
I got it today, it says 4800mAh on the back...
Mine came without any retail box...
I will test it now.
That pretty much alters the protective mechanism of the device against drops. Not only does it not protect the device, I would say its a pro-damage case too. It seems to increase the likelihood that you will damage it.

I am really interested to see how it tests out for you. I saw some on Amazon and was thinking of purchasing one. I use my Note 4 from 7am to 11pm, almost none stop. The battery does last me all day sometimes but having that extra juice would be nice. Can't wait to hear how it goes.
Any update on the power case?
Sorry for the delay.
The battery charger charges from 0 to full charge in about 3-4Hours...
It charges slowly, but it works.

Nice. I was looking at this case for while. I wanted a extended battery case that wasn't so big and this fits the bill.
Why turn your N4 into a heavy brick when you can just carry a spare battery?

Same question can be asked, why carry around two items in my pocket? Rather carry one. Mostly for laziness, just hit the switch and phone is charging. Besides, this isn't that bad compared to the ZeroLemon case., now that is huge.
I don't understand this attraction of humongous batteries. We live in the modern age, where industrial design and manufacturing elegance has come a long way. To take these very elegant and slim phones and duct tape gynormous batteries to the back seems counter intuitive to me.
How hard is it to charge your phone every day? I am sure keeping a car charger for the charge on the way back home isn't a huge inconvenience. Or keeping a qi pad at your desk at work and just tossing your phone on it when you get to work.
All you big battery guys are going to look like this
I'm curious..
Simply, what accessories do you currently own, and which specific accessories do you desire?
I personally only own an aluminum placement battery cover.
I would like an extended battery case for that extra juice on my weekly snowboarding trips!
Zerolemon 10000mah
I just got zerolemon 10000mah for my Note 4. That i believe you should get for yourself. I also own a spigen case also.

How bulky is the zerlomeon case, and how long does it take to charge to 100% from dead?
Honestly it's not as bulky as I anticipated. The video tutorials call it a brick but u feel their is a slight chunk added to the original weight of the phone. Now if you compare that with the benefit you are getting I believe it's a small price to pay for. I have done a single charge till now of around 10+ hours which I was supposed to do it till 12. But the current status of my phone battery right now is that I have used it for 24 hours and it has just dropped till 64%. It's going pretty smooth I believe. Give it a shot.
It's pretty damn big and heavy, but I can use it fine on a daily basis. I recently took it off and put back the regular battery and back. Wow, it's so light and thin.
The battery thickness is actually about as thick as the phone if not a little thicker. So you'd be walking around with 2 Notes in your pocket size-wise.
The battery is hard to gauge though. I'd suggest getting GSAM or something that can monitor your battery voltage. It screws with the phone. I think my fast charger once said it was done but i checked the voltage and it wasn't done yet, so I plugged it back in another charger just to be safe.
I once compared my Z3C and Note 4 with the zerolemon in GSAM and they had the same voltage but I think the Z3C said 73% and the Note said 50 something. I don't remember, but I do remember I felt something was wrong with what I saw
I almost forgot about the buttons. They are so sensitive. I've accidentally locked the phone when viewing landscape so many times.
Edit to add picture if I can figure out how.
Note 4 inside the case, you can see the tabs to push the volume buttons actually sit higher than the phone.

What am I supposed to do from here?
Take a look at the Zero lemon thread here before you decide to purchase. Some issues reported with it not accurately showing the correct battery level, etc. Be sure to check out the Hyperion battery thread too and compare.
Hello.
Just got offered a MPJ battery case and felt like doing a small review.

It's a one piece battery/protective case, it's quite nice looking and has a really smooth rubberized touch.
The case fits the phone perfectly and don't actually add too much volume to it, letting it feel good in a daily use.
It charges the phone in a little more than 2 hours, but it's battery lasts around one and a half phone charge.
At the bottom of the case is visible a 4 led set that indicates the battery level.
It has a really nice feature that I loved: When it's being charged while attached to the phone, it charges the phone first and then the case itself... I thought it was really nice that the phone in charged first.
For it's price, at least the sales price, I can recommend it as pretty decent battery case!
Rate: 8/10
Here's a couple more photos of it if you'd like.
I have a question about that.. I actually e-mailed them my question but they never responded back.
With that battery case on, can you still use wireless charging and it work or does it have to be plugged in wired?

It has to be plugged by wire, tried the wireless charge and it won't work.
Nice case!
ORDERED haha thanks!
@ex0dusk3 - if you find a battery case that DOES allow wireless charging, please let us know!!!
it looks cool thanks sharing
Ive ordered the battery case after reading this review. Any lucky guy out there also receives one with flip cover? It actually looks pretty cool.
Does anyone know if the flip version of this has a magnet or something to keep the cover closed?
