Galaxy S4 Power Case (Protective & battery case)

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?

Just received this the other day, and I've been very impressed. Low cost, good quality it seems. Performs just fine on my Nokia charger that I got for $25 :3
Bulges somewhat, but my case seems to handle it and hide it well. Charging speeds seems typical of Qi standards.
Have not got a chance to test NFC yet, but I'm sure it will function fine.
So if you want wireless charging for your lovely S4 and you've got 15 bucks. Pick this bad boy up!

Does it still fit in any slim case with that slight bulge you mentioned?

Seems to be alright.

Wireless Charging the Note 4 while Driving

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-CKE4OosCw
I'm using the RavPower charger and the Makebees receiever (which I was able to reduce the size of by peeling the stickers).
The slight bump is still bothering me so I'm going to opt for the OEM Samsung charging battery door receiver.
Being able to just drop in and charge whlie driving has been very convenient.

Yes, definitely a convenience that's hard to go back from. I have been doing this for about a year and a half, starting with the Nexus 5. I find that when phone is on Qi charger and I am using it heavily while driving (google maps, MP3 player, calls), it will discharge. I usually just have an automated rule to turn down screen brightness to compensate and power remains stable.
You should look into hard wiring the Qi charging pad so that you don't have wires dangling in the cabin. As phones come and go, just swap the ProClip holster to match.

Good idea peeling the sticker... If you opt for Samsung charging back you won't be able to use most of the cases

How did you make the ProClip holder a Qi Wireless charger?

You attach a slim Qi charging pad to the holster via double sided tape. Just like it appears in the photos.

Qi receiver ???

Just ordered my Note 4 N910F, and looking for the thinnest Qi receiver... I have used Fonesalesman receivers for S4 and Note 3 which were thin and flexible... Is the Fonesalesman Qi for Note 4 also thin and flexible? Anyone in here using it? Thanks
==================
To answer my own question, the above Qi receiver is thin and flexible, the coil is the "printed" type if that is what is called, not an actual coil which is thick.
The thickest part of the receiver is where the IC's or small chips are which is under the QR code..

I'm about to purchase a QI receiver too, and I've narrowed it down to these three - in order of preference so far:
PLESONTECH:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00PN4GXKO/
N4 SlimPWRcard (think this is the FoneSalesman one?):
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00OFKS66G
Kosee:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00OY34FBE
If anyone has experience of any of the above, I would appreciate feedback/reviews. Really want one that doesn't give a visible bulge when it's in place. I'll be using it through a UAG case (hopefully!). Thanks!

Which ones also support NFC would be nice as well.

I think the FoneSalesman one is the only one that specifically states it supports NFC, although some Amazon reviewers have mentioned that it works with others if placed carefully. I doubt I'll be using NFC too much, so this isn't really a huge factor in my choice.

Pleson
I am using PLeson, it supports NFC. Its a good purchase although it makes the back cover little bulky.

I have these. They work well but the phone tends to get hot when charging for too long. It was the same for my Note 3 though so I am thinking its common for wireless charging.

Waiting this item from aliexpress:
Sent from my 2014817 using Tapatalk

I have ever seen ( AlieExpress ? ) an universal dock, with wich we can set the connector side (turn 180°) and where to have it (left, centre, or right). It exist...
Found it : Andux Zone Dock with Google Images.
---------- Post added at 02:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 AM ----------
But I've seen something today, it can be a better way : on eBay there's tiny micro-USB to 5 pin magnetic adaptator, to avoid daily insertion and have only touch-contact. This thing can be used with a magnetic dock or magnetic cable, but I don't know if there's left side magnetic docks...

I gave a look to the microUSB to magnetic adapter,
and I found 2 in AliExpress.
Look for :
Original USAMS 1M Metal Magnetic 8 Pin/Micro USB Charger Cable for iPhone 6 6S Plus 5C 5S iPad Air Samsung HTC Xiaomi Android
(not microUSB ?)
and
High Speed Micro USB Magnetic Adapter Charger Cable For Android Universal Magnetic Absorption Cable
(MicroUSB ! 3.13€ with shipping to France)
With that, we can build our own magnetic dock... :good:
I've baught the microUSB one,
3 weeks to wait,
I hope the small part fits well in the RN2.
It must not fit very well, I think, because the RN2 does not have 90° sides, wich the adapter seems to have, but I've baught 2 adapters, to try to fold one after heating it a few (and after having tried it in another old thing than my RN2, of course... ^^ ).
I'll tell you.
