Here are my thoughts on the LG Cam Plus Module:
I got the only module that my local T-Mobile store got in. I was lucky that one of the reps called me before she even put it in stock and held it for me. Awesome service right there!!!
FEEL
So far, I really like the extra heft. For those of you who remember the Verizon HTC Thunderbolt, it feels a little like the extra battery did but at the bottom and not the middle. It's a great feeling. I have fairly large hands from bodybuilding and it is a bit awkward thus far to turn the phone over to use the module. But, I think I'll get used to that quickly. Really big hands people will likely want to steer away from the module as it won't benefit them much.
The dial isn't as nice as I would like. I was hoping it would have some feedback like a traditional camera dial does, but it doesn't. Not a big deal, but I did notice it nonetheless. It is a major improvement over not having the module, though!
LOOK
It looks okay... I wish the colors were more coordinated. The gold and silver combo don't look very good in my opinion. Black and silver and then silver and silver would be good. So, I really wish they made the module in black only.
It is all plastic from what I can tell, which I don't like whatsoever. But, for plastic, it does have a good feel. I will say that.
BATTERY
This is where I have a major concern. If you look at the battery specs, it only qualifies for Quick Charge 2.0 for input and output. It is only 5v/9v for input and only 5v for output. I'll be able to confirm shortly whether or not my phone says it's quick charging or not with the module attached. I did notice earlier while using the module that while charging the phone, it heated up a bit like QC 2.0 not 3.0, for whatever that's worth.
OVERALL IMPRESSIONS
So far, I'm glad I got it. I'm on many estimates for contracts throughout the day and I can see how it will make things easier to take pictures. A lack of a case does concern me, but I guess that's what insurance is for lol (as I found out with my V10).
The extra battery will come in handy I'm sure as I'm going thru juice quite a bit. I use my phone heavily. I have two numbers going to my phone for calls and texts (gv). I use my phone at least for 4 hours a day for calls to give you an idea. I'll report back on the extended battery life and what I can determine as to the charging current with the module battery. I'm not sure how much of a definitive answer I can find without root since I don't think ampere will work without root. I've attached a bunch of pictures for you guys. Let me know if you have any questions I can try to answer.
Edit: I forgot to mention that the speaker seems to be better than the stock module. I didn't notice any crackling at higher volumes as I did with the stock module.
Edit 2: I can confirm that the module does NOT quick charge your phone. When a quick charger is plugged into the pack, I can confirm that the phone will quick charge but the module itself does not seem to quick charge judging from the fact that it took about an hour and a half to go from 0-Full while plugged into a QC 2.0 charger by itself. I have attached a picture of the phone charging from the module in Ampere.

Edit 3: I've noticed during my workout that the battery stops charging after around 15 minutes. Each time I have to turn the module back on... Very weird. Hopefully LG will change this in the future.

I got some issues with the cam plus too that its stops charging. How you turn it on because even in the module manual i wasnt able to find it. With button combination you need to press?

To turn it on, press the record button. The small circular button next to the shutter button. Just one press and voilà!
The randomness is very annoying of the charger though and the fact that you can't see the amount of charge the module has.
Sent from my LG-H830 using Tapatalk
That the problem i had. I pressed the record buttons many time and nothing happened. I hope that a version upgrade will fix it. Thanks.
There is one thing I don't like about it is the battery dosen't really combine 1200+2800 to form 4000mAh, the 1200mAh actually charges the main battery.
And I wished they put the roller wheel further up the corner.
Apart from those, the unit looks nice and fits well, and I wish they had a pink color one, probably paint it later on and also modify it to support qi wireless charging, just have to check if there is room inside to add the mod.
I actually placed an order for a case made for the cam plus, and also a case for the Hifi plus, but have to wait till end of the month for delivery of the Hifi plus unit.

I'm curious to what the universal bumper looks like, can you post a photo.
Here is some actual photo's of the case for the cam plus.
It's a jelly case made from thick TPU, all the buttons are in the right place, although you may think the shuttle button is towards one side, I think it's made that way so you can press the button at a angle.
Just order the CAM Plus case on eBay:

Hi,
How can I see the status of the battery in the module? (e.g. Capacity or if it's charging?)
Got the module for free. Pretty nice, but not worth the 99€ which you have to pay in Germany. Especially the strange thing that the module battery is charging the internal battery and only if the module is active.

Hey guys, I bought the 3000mAh Cameron Sino battery on ebay for £12.50 and I love it! been using it for almost a week now and got nothing but good words for it. I got twice as much usage compared to the original battery. I am a power user and in 15hours I still got around 60% juice left, when the original battery usually had gone 0. Sure it's thicker and heavier but I prefer to have a thicker and heavier phone than a dead one! I can play with the phone as much as I want now and use those lovely live wallpapers! And I actually have a much better grip of the phone now. One minor gripe though is that the new battery cover causes the photos to have a dark grey colour on the corners like a pin hole effect. This is not the case for videos though.

I charge the phone daily and sometimes once again midday if I run low while at work. Even though battery life is really poor, it has not been much of a problem for me yet. Since usually I'm always near a power source (home, work and Car). I also have a spare which I take if I think I'll be away from a power source for long. But so far I have not even once used the spare, because when I'm out (over the weekends or generally out with friends etc..) I don't use the phone as much. So it works out for me perfectly. . I don't have 20 home screen widgets pulling lot of crap off the net, have the Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth radios off unless I'm navigating. So the battery lasts when I'm not using it.
Here is a video of another extended battery (Mugen Power 3200mAh) for those who are interested in seeing how it looks on the phone (seek to 0:50). Personally I wouldn't buy anything like that, its too bulky and makes the phone look really ugly , YUCK !.
EDIT :
Now something like this on the other hand is more attractive than using an ugly extended battery. It gives you more power when needed, but don't have to have it always installed. Probably a better idea than carrying an extended battery (except for the size), since you don't have to switch off the phone and swap batteries , just plug this thing in when your battery is low .

I've personally been considering buying a bigger battery, but might settle on an external battery pack instead (as i need more battery power only in extreme circumstances, other times I generally have a charger or computer cable accessible)

Its only 5£ and does not reuire any battery removal. Simply clip on when required. Also comes with a car charger and multiple heads...All for 5£. I just carry it with me in case I run out and its more versatile and useable than standalone accesories.

I meant attractive in a functional point of view, sorry for the ambiguous wording.. In terms of esthetics, perhaps it looks worse than the extended battery

Found a Youtube clip of the battery/cover: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mks7ubUi6Ik
Must admit, i am tempted with this. I don't get a full day's use out of my Galaxy S with my usage, so it is mighty tempting!
I've 'bitten the bullet' and purchased one. Maybe i'll get a full day's use out of my phone now before a charge is needed!
Just noticed this thread.
I also have the 3000mah battery.
Here's a copy/paste edited and joined few my own post's from another topic.
"Ha ha,battery sure if fat. The back cover snaps on fine and power,volume,USB connector port are as easy to access as before.
The cover it itself though does look and feel cheap and plasticy,but thats to be expected for the cheap price.
(Actually when I took off the original I notice it feels just as cheap...lol. Just more classy looking cause of the carbon fiber type pattern on it)
Almost looks like it was cut out from some hard packing plastic tray.Doesnt look so bad when its attached to the phone,shiny black.
Over all though Im glad I got it. Its not something Id use every day but it will be handy for when you havent got spare battery on you,or dont wanna change the battery. Or you cant use a charger.
First charge to about 5 hours.(with wall charger).But then I dunno how much power was in when I unpacked it so I guess a more accurate time for charging may be the next time I charge it.
Looks a bit weird,almost like a diff phone.
Here's few pics I took.
am using a portable charger for my phone and so far so good
IT LOOKS LIKE A F***ING BRICK.
If you drop it on your foot you will need to go emergency.

I've been using a 12v Lion battery pack off ebay, about 100mm x 75mm x 20mm.
It has a 12 DC out jack and a standard full size USB port you can plug in your usual SGS USB lead for a 5v charge output. Has a proper on/off switch and even incorporates a small LED flash-light/torch in one end.
You can use it as a back up, a charger or just an extended pack. Yes it's bulky, but it gives a pretty good extra capacity, at 5v it's rated at 4800 mAh.
Just doing an extra test, running media player and co-pilot GPS with the screen on and it's maintaining charge and I think actually charging albeit slowly.
Obviously has the benefit that you can use it for anything that will charge off USB and even run 12V appliances (only 1500mAh at 12V however, but will run an air-bed inflater enough to give you a good nights sleep).
Phil
also those speaker and camera holes are useless. the camera most likely wont work correctly and you will get a picture of part of the hole as well as echo from the speaker..
just use wall chargers with extra batteries and keep an extra battery in your pocket like i always do... one reason this version is better than iphone.. ie replaceable batteries

it doesn't look as bad as the Magnum one
but it does looks very heavy to me
after putting the back battery cover on, i'm quite sure it wont fit into most leather cases, like the one i use on my belt
Damn, I wish there was something in the middle, like a 2000mAh battery pack.
Would be nice to get a full day and then some out of the phone
laying around in house to see if it will work for our G2X?
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-ECR-D1B7BEGSTA-SGH-i997-Multimedia-microUSB/dp/B004WOBN3I
I know its not for the LG, but its a micro USB and has everything working for it including the size ( i think).
If we can not find a decent LG dock, then this one might be a good option... but dont know if it will work for our phones or not. So hoping someone has one laying around at home that they can try out and report back.
Looks like it works with the Infuse 4G. Compare sizes and see if it'll work.
Possibly. The Infuse 4G was huge:
http://www.sizeasy.com/page/size_co...tion-vs-T-Mobile-G2x-vs-iPhone-4-vs-Infuse-4G
If there is a backplate, it should fit in there with room to spare. Might not be a good fit but it'd work. For $50 bucks though I'd think I'd want something tailored specifically to my device.
agreed... i rather get something for the phone.. but doesnt look like LG has any decent docks that does activate the dock features and all.....
from all I keep reading on the desk dock.. it doesnt really do much other then hold it in place.
I don't know, the dimensions given by Amazon are Product Dimensions: 4 x 3.5 x 4.5 inches which, after you consider the excess on the side, might be a snug fit. Although, given the specs I've found on the Infuse, either these dimensions are wrong or it's not for the Infuse, but more of a Samsung brand charger than a specific handset and, again, is labeled wrong by Amazon.
No matter what, the mini USB is in the correct location. And even if it's a little wider, it still looks better than anything offered by either LG or anyone else. If you try it or anyone else, post up. Cause I'm interested!
I will buy it and post a mini review for you guys, it looks like a perfect fit.

Any update on this? I too am looking for something JUST like this.
wow... nice dock.. and checking the sized.. the G2 is significantly smaller than the infuse.. this should actually work.. hazaaaaa. Did anyone buy this yet?
You can always return it to amazon with no issue if it doesn't work eh?
Why not one of these universal ones on ebay? Link to my search: http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=un...+cradle&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313
Particularly this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/UNIVERSAL-DESKT...689784?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5d2ec60c78
They are soooo much cheaper and I would think reception to the cell tower (4G Internet) would be less likely to be interfered with if none of the rear surface area is covered. With my G2 I noticed that my connection speed and number of bars was a lot lower when I laid it flat on a table. When I either propped it up on the table, or held it flat with just my finger tips (basically leaving the back uncovered) the connection was fast and strong again.
I like this idea too because I can place it anywhere in the room for best reception and run an extension cable to it to keep it charged, while using the the 4G with wifi hotspot on my PC.
I wonder which is best as a homemade tripod. At those prices I could buy 1 of each and try them all.

Well, I just purchased it. Used the super saver shipping (5-8 [email protected] charge) so I guess we'll know in 5-8 days.
I'll post pics and final judgement as to whether or not it works...
I have the official LG desk and car docks. The desk is not fancy, but it hold the phone up, you just have to plug the power cable in if you're placing the phone in the horizontal orientation.
The car dock is great, solid, great fit. But I may remove the magnet that tells the phone to go into "car mode", since generally that's not helpful to me.

can the car dock be mounted to my dashboard? i don't like sticking to windshield.
anyone pick this up yet?
I got it today... and it is sexy!!!
Now for the low down:
-Yes, the phone will connect in (w/o a cover on only)
-there is a gap though on either side, maybe a 1/4" at most
Even w/the gaps, I can still place it on it's side and the phone stays connected,
although, since it's being held up by the slim-usb connector, I can't see it being
good for the phone.
Now for the bummer (well, kinda) to get full functionality of the dock, you have to DL 'Samsung Home Dock' app from the store. Now, since it's free, you wouldn't think it was so bad, until you find out itlooks for the specific samsung fingerprint in the build.prop in order to install (to DL from market as well, I just took the apk file from xda.) So, now I need to find a build.prop that will sneak me through this little speed bump. Shouldn't be hard, just not enough time to search it out tonight.
Fortunately, the speakers on the G2x are so bad ass, even w/o the addt'l speaker built into the dock, it still kicks it out.
I'll get pics posted tomorrow after work.
Over all, considering our options, I think it's a winner!

rear view of dock. here you can see the built in speaker, speaker line out and the mini usb [power] connector.
A good [but very smudgy fingerprint-tastic] view of the phone in cradle.
This is a close up of the gap.
To be fair, as I've said in a previous post, I can set it on it's side while the phone is in and it doesn't sway at all due to how far in the usb connector fits. Still, I have to think it wouldn't be healthy to place it on it's side w/o some kind of cushion. I'm in the works of forming a silicone slide to custom fit it. Once I have time to do it right that is. I'll post pics after I'm done.
As far as getting the Samsung Desk Home to install, I still haven't figured out how to properly modify the build.prop to recognize it . I've got a post in the modding are of xda for assistance. The last thing I want to do is somehow brick my phone for a dock app [although I would LOOOOVE to be able to use that line out w/my google music beta as an alarm!] but no response yet.
So I have been watching some videos today and I have a tab I am willing to sacrifice to the cause...I am trying to add gps and wireless charge...Maybe try and switch the charger port for a micro usb but I will see when I get there. I have been watching videos on doing both mods with iphone 4s today and that stupid kinabis area would be great to hide some boards. Only problem is I got all the screws out and the corners pop loose but the centers stay attached...Has anyone seen this before on a differnt tab? Is it glue/tape or clips? Any ideas?
were you able to Record a you tubevideo on how far you got ?
i havent been inside of mine yet.
i would be interest if i could get a bigger sd card in it
Gonna try to get it with a blow dryer tomorrow and see where that leads. Ill record it all incase it works.

Ok...So here we go...Got it fully apart..Took some pics. Maybe you guys can see something else that I didn't but it looks as if adding in wireless charging would be rather simple...Other than that I didn't really see anything of interest...what are your thoughts?

My thoughts: Man, there is a lot of wasted space in there. They could've made the bezel 1/4 the size and had a much, MUCH more portable tablet.
Shows they were designing for kids 100%, with no real interest in adult use. (Well, that was already obvious from the awful grid on the back panel and the lip around it even if you remove the grid and home-build a flat back panel; I am 100% certain that contrived Nabi blocks aside, the real reason they made the back like that is to stop adults buying the tablet and not giving it to a kid.)
Right on! So any thought of rear facing camera, flash, NFC, ambient light sensor? Different case entirely?
Wireless charging sounds cool, so does GPS.
Edit: btw what wireless charging system are you planning to implement? Powermat, touchstone?
Struck by my Anthrax Infected Viper4G Ev_O_nE using Forum Runner
The camera and flash sound awesome but its very doubtful we will ever see a source for the nabi so installing rear would mean having to remove the front(I think) and to be honest I use my tab for skype more than photography. I've had NFC on my phone for quite a while and ive never used it, im not even sure of a useful application for it. The idea of a different case is awesome but im thinking more to just redesign a back plate to get rid of the lip from that kinabi plate crap (I kinda like the curvy kids feel to it.)
I will more than likely go with the touchstone just cause of the price point but I'm looking at the power mat cause I'd like to be able to drop my One X on charge all night too.
Do you think it's possible to solder 2 wires from the micro usb to the charging port and that would activate usb charge?

Do we know what kind of screen is use in this application ? Also dose anyone knows what are the rest of the wires coming off the battery are for?
Not been inside myself, but extra wires will likely be for a temperature sensor and/or balance charging if the battery pack is multi cell.

Would it be able to handle the amperage or does anyone know or think it would even affect it at all? Your essentially doubling the amperage while keeping the voltage the same. Voltage is one thing but Amps is another. Many components can or are sensitive to too much amperage. Maybe I am getting to technical about it as the components that regulate the power in the nabi can handle and will regulate the amperage and voltage it requires anyhow. Do you or someone want to sacrifice a nabi 2 and try it?
I want to see where I would need to try and attach GPS to the nabi 2 to get it working. Would love to look inside the nabi XD as it would answer a lot of questions.

That is why I was trying to find out what kind of screen it takes as you can buy a nabi2 with broken screen for under 40bucks on ebay. if i can get a replacement screen for few buck i will try to experiment. Or do you know if there is other battery out there that we can use that has bigger capacity.

If you could get a replacement screen for a few bucks people wouldn't be selling broken tabs for $40 on eBay.
The screen is probably the second most expensive component behind the motherboard with CPU.

Hello there
I recently wrote a review on ZeroLemon Galaxy S3 battery and now have one for Galaxy S4. Been upgraded to the S4 lately (gf gets my S3) and found the battery being a bit pale in comparison to the S3 (software issue?). With my past positive experience using the ZL S3 7000mAh battery, I want to give this one a try too.
7500mAh Black:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CXZI3DQ
7500mAh White:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CXZI4WQ
DIMENSION
ZeroLemon with included TPU case:
Length: 14cm
Width: 7.1cm
Thickness: 1.6cm
This is nearly identical to the ZL Galaxy S3 battery in terms of dimension. Camera and LED portion of the case is neatly flushed out and images are clear. The case wraps around the phone like a nice glove. Hopefully the rugged version comes out soon as I hear they are developing one
I geet some messages about the speaker. Hope this clarifies
- The speaker gets cover by the battery at the back BUT there is approximately 0.02mm gap between the battery and the speaker which allows the sound to travel to the bottom of the phone case (see case picture below).
In fact, this makes the phone LOUDER when the phone back is faced down compare to the original back cover. ZeroLemon somehow able to engineer the battery + case to make it sound louder which is very impressive. I thought the S4 speaker design is pretty stupid espeically when you try to watch a movie and sound is shooting backwards away from the phone. This design shoots the sound to the side of the phone like how iPhone does it so you won't be muffling the sound by your hands (which happens with original case) when you have your phone in horizontal mode
THICKNESS
This has the exact same thickness as the galaxy s3. If you are familar and use to the ZL S3 battery like myself, you will find this just as well
WEIGHT
Since this is a bigger battery, the weight increases around 40g on the phone. In fact this phone is lighter than the Galaxy S3 suprisingly even with the larger capacity battery inside. Probably because the S4 is lighter than S3 in general
PEFORMANCE
If you are spoiled by ZL Galaxy S3 performance, then you definitely need to pick this battery up too for this is the biggest battery you can get so far. Gets me through 2 and a half day easily. This is an initial review so I will give more update later on continued performance. NFC also works well and reads my old GS3 phone.
No signal loss with this battery installed. Original cover gives me Signal = -89dBm, This extended battery gives me Signal = -88dBm. I'm using AT&T 4G network. For Wifi I used the wifi analyzer and the graph still looks the same with both battery. GPS works too and locate my location accurately. I haven't taken the phone out for trip yet. This weekend to Yosemite so it will be a testing ground for my GPS. IR works well too. The cutout for the IR receiver is correctly position in the case.
UPDATE July 3: Epic is the only word to describe this. After the Galaxy S3, I didn't think ZL can top it off but they did. This thing can run 17 hours screentime on auto brightness.
Done a road trip and with GPS at lowest brightness, 20 hours! Yes, 20 hours run. This battery is unstoppable!
Some people asking me about the case, the case is just as good as the Galaxy S3 version. At least you don't have to go out and buy an extra TPU case unlike the hard plastic cover extended battery
NFC
NFC works well. I tested this with my gf's S3 with original battery and also the ZL S3 extended battery. There's no problem whatsoever.
It's around 39 bucks for this zerolemon battery right now and it's the same price as their Galaxy S3 battery. That's an awesome deal!
This weekend i'm going on a trip so I can test this beast out and see if it's a weekend warrior like the Galaxy S3 version along with the GPS accuracy.
Next week I will take this out for a CBA battery analyzer test.

nicely flushed
Grills for sound coming out of back speaker
Gap between battery and speaker to allow sound travel to back
Battery without case
CONCLUSION:
39 dollars is totally worth it for this battery. This thing just keeps going and going. I also have the 5200mAh extended battery from other manufacturers but I'm less incline to use it because it doesn't have soft plastic protection around the case. I dont' want to fork another 6 bucks for a tpu case on those extended battery too. This really gives the bang for the bucks
Please post iif the NFC and IR work.
Also are you seeing any signal level issues?

Also, quick question, should have asked this earlier.
Does the battery report it's temps?
Summer heat makes charging in the car dodgy with temps. I've already had it give me the warning it stopped charging due to temps in the summer sun.
Thanks again.
How long does it take to fully charge this battery?
Will wireless charging work with this extended battery and wireless receiver insert?

This is rather pointless. Seems to me like you're asking for the sake of asking without thinking about it properly.
Wireless charging already charges at a slower rate. This battery is HUGE. This means that battery charging rate using a wireless charger could be potentially 9 times slower. Might take half a day to charge it tirelessly at the very least.
Even though I have ordered this I have to admit I am not as excited as I was before now that I hear about the speaker. I know the Op says the speaker is louder than it was before when it was faced down, but what about when it is not faced down? I never have my phone with the speaker sitting on the table. I am fearing this will muffle the sound greatly. I hope I am wrong.

The question was whether the wireless receiver insert will still be compatible or not, with the extended battery.
Looking at the picture again I guess it will not, since the battery seems to block the connector. Just my guess.
As for your helpful comment, I guess u know that some wireless chargers deliver 1A output, which is not low by any mean. At least not 9 times lower than wired.
Wireless charging is less power efficient, but doesn't mean it can't deliver high output. It just mean it need higher input, and waste certain % of energy.

I'm very much up for this battery but I have a question or two if you could please answer for me...

2) So many questions about the speaker, just let me know if everything can be heard clearly and well whether the phone is flipped upside down or not....

I first preordered this back when it was introduced at CES this year. I loved how it propped the N4 up and I longed for one like this. I know LG has one but can only be bought in Korea for an outrageous $130 bux on fleabay.
Months later, Tylt said it was cancelling all the pre orders and people like me were a bit disappointed. Keep in mind this was a little before the orb. So then the Orb came up and most of us grabbed it up like Charlie at the Chocolate factory, but some were met with the sliding issue. That officially sucked! I personally did not experience it, but it sucks that this stuff happens.
Come 7 months or so later, Tylt came back and released a Kickstarter. Earlybirds were to get the new Tylt VU in August according to KS. So I joined in on the 49 dollar level because the 39 level was snapped up. I got an email from Tylt a few days later stating that because I was a pre-order, they will grant me the Tylt at the KS earlybird price. AWESOMESAUCE! I immediately cancelled my pledge lol. Paid for the Tylt on July 2nd and got it today, 7/9 (surprisingly fast!) at work.
I excitedly posted a few quick pics on a thread but I wanted to give a quick take on it so far, that I have had time to use it a bit.
Attached you can see that the N4 is still charging in any orientation you want, which is cool. There is a LED to let you know the status of the charger under the front lip. You cant really see it unless you literally look at it straight on, which is also good; it's not BRIGHT like other QI pads I have used and heard about. Additionally, there's NO audible beep or anything from the stand. Just your phone if you have the OGG file on your phone (when less than 95% of course).
Will it continually charge when it reaches 100%? Looks like it keeps it topped off and then stops charging but according to my widgits, the phone does report it "charging" even though the settings say otherwise. This doesn't mean it's totally off and not charging, it trickle charges back up like the orb does in my case.
Like you see in the pics, I got the boring black lol. The build quality is nice. It is quite big for a charger, but it's going to be on my night stand lol. Would I recommend it? For my price of 39bux YES. For 70 bux it'd be a hard sell for me. It's not necessarily travel worthy like the LG pad or even the Energizer one. They are flat, while this is not.
Anyways here are the pics. Any questions please feel free to ask!

Noooo...I initially did, but at the 49 early bird. But because I was initially a pre-order on their site, they extended the 39 early bird price to me, which I accepted! And in turn, cancelled my pledge on KS lol. Then was told that the charger would ship within two weeks, which turned out to be three days. :good:
I mean, getting it way before the Kickstarters (kinda weird) and saving 10 bux in my case. Right place and right time I guess.
OK reporting back on a couple of days of usage and have to say it's great. I may have to eat my hat a little and say that it may be worth the cash after all because, the usage is great, props my phone up so I can quickly glance in the room to see if there's a notification I have missed if I am not wearing my Pebble, and quickly see who's calling. Not to mention the ability to just grab and drop my phone on it willy-lilly lol. No fuss no muss, no aligning it in anyway.
This looks great! Wish I had seen it while it was cheaper. If I hadn't just switched jobs, this would be on the way to my house.
Its expensive, though i think its the best qi charger out there. I want one! I hope they put them on amazon or offer some other ways to buy them

I'm pretty happy with mine. It does seem to charge a bit slower and it is noticeably warmer (charging while in TPU case) but likely nothing to worry about. I wouldn't leave open anything intensive while it's charging for prolonged periods though, as the charge rate would be very slow and the device would heat up.
The stand does like to slide around on my desk though. Any thoughts on better securing it?

Mine charges pretty fast. It charges slower when the device is below 30% and charges and gets the phone pretty warm. Sometimes I need to reboot to let it go again. I never have to do that with my orb charger though.
As for securing it. You can try adding some rubber feet on the contact points. You can probably get them at a craft store or even home depot. Some self adhesive stubs. Or you can put a rubber mousepad and set it on top of that lol.

http://www.tylt.com/faq/#vu
Q: How long does it take to charge my phone with the VU?
A: The VU is designed to provide as much power as your standard USB charger (1 Amp) and will charge as fast as your USB charger as long as your phone is designed to accept that much power.
Can you give us a photo of the power adapter (the end that plugs in to the VU itself)?
I'm curious if it's a generic one you could get your own adapter for.
I've just ordered one to be shipped to Aus, and would ideally like to avoid the need for an international adapter =)

I've just ordered one to be shipped to Aus, and would ideally like to avoid the need for an international adapter =)
