Will report back with the results...

Awesome. I saw that but was too skeptical to give it a shot. I'm glad someone did. I've tried other batteries that are the same size as stock, that claim to be larger capacity and they never seem to be the real deal.

Even if I get just the same amount of juice that the stock battery gives me , it's only $10... Plus it's not coming from China.

this guy was just asking about that battery 4 threads down

meh... why not? at that price i'll give it a try. i'll post my findings once i've received it and gone through a whole charging cycle with it.
oh... and to the guy who made the comment about it not coming from china:
Anker is a US registered trademark of LaptopMate, belonging to Fantasia Trading LLC., founded in San Jose in 2009. After years' wholehearted efforts, Fantasia has experienced dramatic growth and remains committed to sharing reliable, high-quality and user-friendly consumer electronics made in China with the whole world, for goodwill between people.

After seeing it was only 10 bucks I myself purchased one as well. I should receive it by Wednesday so like others on the thread, I'll check back after then.

But one as well...

No no no, I think you misunderstood me - It's not being SHIPPED from China to me - it's coming from a seller in the US

The more I think about it, I think i would rather carry around a charger than remove this battery cover...

Ditto. However, having a spare battery does come in handy in certain situations.
For those who travel a lot like me, it's very handy to have a spare oppose to an external charger. It's much easier to just pop a fresh battery in and not have to find a charger to stand next to a wall outlet to make calls...
I do admit though, the HTC cover is pretty funky...it's a first...very odd...

And it's got active connections, so i think it's not the best idea to remove it often.

I travel a lot too so ill need a spare battery. It just worries me. I have three for my hd2 that I was using, but popping the battery cover off on the hd2 is simple. I feel like doing so on the sensation will eventually wear it out. Or ill break something. Total pain in the ass.

Wonder if those connections are just for the antenna? What a funky design.

Let us know how it goes, my battery is going real fast need to see if this is my solution, i do have a Dice Media Bridge in my car and it doubles up as a charger as well

I just picked one of these up myself. I should expect it by Tuesday since the seller is local. I'll keep everyone updated as well but so far the stock battery hasn't done well compare to my N1 since i've switched to this phone.

haha its 60$ now

I'm interested in being apart in reviewing this product. but its not letting me sign up and share the link.

Interested and shared the link

Also interested and shared link, as well! I love portable charging devices. Makes things a lot easier

I am very interested in becoming a reviewer for the CulCharge PowerBank, I have signed up and shared the link. I read through the campaign and think this is a very innovative and life changing idea, having a powerbank right on my keys would be a life saver for me and a lot of others as well.

I'm interested. Pretty excited to help out!

Definitely interested in this. Looking forward to it.

I would LOVE to try this out. I was just telling my wife about it the other day. I have a larger power block that I take on trips, but having something that could just clip onto my keys would be great. I also love that it functions as a USB cable when I need to hook my phone to my computer.
My only concern is this: Will the micro USB attachment work if I have a case on my phone? It almost looks too short to deal with any significant case on the phone.

Hey, I'm interested.
Shared the link, let me know.

It's been about 10 minutes since I went through the steps and I'm still not seeing the confirmation email in my inbox or in my junk mail. What can I do if I don't receive it?
ETA: Never mind. It finally arrived. The internet is a strange and mysterious thing at times.

Count me in. Thanks

Between my wife's S6, my S6, son's S5 and daughters S5 we can use all the backup we can get. Looking forward to this little device.

Just watched the video about this yesterday and loved it, bookmarked right away. perfect especially for the S6.

Done and done. Look forward to the possibility of being a reviewer for you. I have done some int he past so I am familiar with the usual process.

im available...but i dont use social media to share the link...product looks promising

Nice a device that goes on the keychain....very nice i would like to be added to this.

Im interested and I shared.
I was planning on backing the project to make sure I got one of these because it looks fairly useful

This thing looks nice and useful im interested in it.

I am definitely interested! I have always been wanting to try something like this. Will introduce myself via PM. Don't discount me because of my thank/post count!

This would be cool to test.

Very interested in reviewing the CulCharge emergency charger. I shared a link on Twitter and filled out the reviewer application form. Thank you for another great product for both Android and Apple. Of course, my primary interest is Android

Really interested, actually had a case where this would have been incredibly useful.
Had an important phone call and no charger. Gotta love it.

I am very interested in reviewing the CulCharge emergency charger. I have shared a link on Twitter and filled out the reviewer application.
Awaiting your reply. I also am interested in the android side.

I would like to review your new product.It could save your bacon in an emergency...

I would also like to review this product. I am always on the go and would put it to the test.

I meet all of your requirements and would like to test, however, I do not use any of the social media sites require for sharing links. If you would still be interested in me having a tester, I would appreciate assisting. Thanks!

I've been a member for quite a while and use juice packs daily. I would love to give this pack a trial run

I'd be happy to test, but I'm not messing about with social media for the pleasure

I don't fully meet your criteria, but if you were to make an exception I would gladly review it

Im interested to test

I am definitely interested. I love seeing new products that help further our phones usability.

Count me in, I like to test and fix phones

I would love to have the opportunity to be a reviewer. I shared the link via Twitter as well. Thank you!

I think I do qualify for a tester... let us see...

I would love to FULLY test out this charging device i shared the link on facebook with 3500 people.
and I would be willing to give it a thorough test, give feedback and a accurate review

I don't meet the criteria, but I'm looking for a possible exception, can't hurt to try.

I am interested in testing this product. It looks like it may be very beneficial.

I have a feeling this is spam to just get the word out about this product.

I am definitely interested in review the 3 in 1. Brief background about myself I have been in leadership roles for over the last 25 years from US Navy to high demand environments in sales leadership supervising over 600 people at one point. I have tested and pushed many products in my past and would love to be a part of this as a volunteer instead of work. It's actually exciting.

I love backup batteries and have a big collection of them. I would love to review this one. Signed up at the link above.

I am also an avid user of extended batteries so this would be a great product to test out and review.

I would be very happy to test this, as ive greatly enjoyed my Mugen extended battery for my new 3ds xl signing up now

I would love to try this and leave a review and feedback.

Just picked up my m9 a couple weeks back, and an extended battery was next on my list to get. Subscribed to the given link.

Would dearly love to test this case. More than double the battery capacity, yes please. :good:

I am a frequent business traveler who often makes use of backup batteries. Sign me up!

I need to try this ! I always forget my charger so this battery case can save my life lol

I'd be very interested. I meet all requirements

Sign me up.

I would like to try this also

I meet all of your requirements, am a retired senior moderator here at XDA and have done similar reviews years ago. I'm extremely interested in participating in your review program.
I have subscribed and shared your page.

I am extremely interested in a review of the Mugen HTC One m9 battery case! I've used Mugen products in the past and would love to test and review this one for the company!

I'd like to review this case for my m9. I meet all the criteria and I work for Sprint so I deal with a ton of cases everyday so I'll have alot to compare it to.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using XDA Free mobile app

I would love to review this! There are definately days that something like this would be useful and I have never tried Mugen products. I've used Zerolemon in the past and would be thrilled to try a different battery pack product.
Also, I have a week long trip at the beginning of August in Las Vegas, Nevada and will be a first time tourist there (can supply resort and airline reservation documents to prove it). You can garentee I will be a power user that week between using Maps, Google searches for all sorts or things, getting transportation, taking pics, etc. Would definately include the vacation in my review.

looks interesting, ill be happy to try

I would like to test out your product, I have used mugen before and it is very reliable in my opinion.

Had mugen for years and never searched for else when it comes to backup battery
Am in and would like to review

Google Sheet: USB Type C Recommendations and Other N5X/N6P Accessories

Fellow XDAers,
Some of you may already be aware of my Google Sheet with recommended USB Type C accessories (cables, adapters, power banks, chargers) and other N5X/N6P accessories (screen protectors, skins, cases). I created this as a source of information on USB Type C cables based upon Benson Leung's reviews (Google Pixel Engineer). This spreadsheet has morphed over time based on user feedback and input. I am actively maintaining this sheet with the latest information on USB Type C products and enhancements have been made to also include other types of accessories. Community input is extremely valuable and I would love to hear your comments on the sheet. Please let me know if you come across any products I have not included on the sheet or if information is inaccurate.
I will continue to maintain this sheet and post updates on XDA, my blog, and reddit.com/r/nexus6p and reddit.com/r/nexus5x.
EDIT LOG

Thanks for the heads-up! This is exactly why I created this thread. I received some reports of bad cutouts so I updated a while back but I was not aware of the newer revision.
Appreciate it.

This needs a sticky. The spreadsheet is extremely valuable for a new or existing Nexus 5X/6P owner.

First of all there are already 2 dedicated OP's with this spreadsheet inside of them. There is no need to create an additional one with just the sheet. We should all know this by now, but if a MOD wants to sticky just the sheet that's fine, but again we don't need 1000000 OP's for the same exact thing.

I reported this OP and recommended that either the spreadsheet gets a "sticky" or one of the OP's containing it. I just don't think it's helpful seeing a ton of these OP's when it could be streamlined so people can get the information they need faster without added confusion. I hope one of these OP's or the spreadsheet gets pinned up top so we can avoid seeing so many OP's discussing the same thing.

Thanks for your input. I appreciate you raising this idea to the mods. I would love to have this stickied as I feel it is a great resource to the community. More importantly, I created this thread on XDA so I could get community input and feedback on the Google Sheet.
Over time, new products are added/removed/updated and it is difficult to keep up with all of the products. I keep up with forums, product reviews, my own reviews, etc. Having other eyes checking for mistakes is great but it is also good to hear new ideas from the community. The feedback I have received on reddit has been very beneficial so I was hoping to extend that to XDA!

I agree, that's why I flagged it so in some way or another the spreadsheet/ Type-C OP's in general can make their way to becoming 'stickied' I will try to recommend that this gets 'stickied' again if for some reason it falls through.

thanks OP, i found this very useful
The whole type c to type c is a pain because you cant even use the supplier in box cable to charge your phone via a laptop or usb car charger so these cables are essential
great work

Just received my Aukey charger from amazon using with Google USB A to C cable ...
Does not display charging rapidly
Any ideas ?

You should not be seeing rapid charging using an A to C Cable.

Then why are we recomending this charger ?
So we need a C to C Cable to Achieve Rapid charging ?
Thanks

Because it understands how much current it can allow instead of allowing 3A when it's rated for 2.0 and breaking or causing a house fire.
As of right now, correct. You will need C to C for rapid charging. USB A was never meant to allow 5V at 3A. I think A maxes at 2.4A.
