I recently picked up this 10000mAh Battery Case from ZeroLemon for my S22 Ultra. My jaw dropped as I took it out of the packaging and saw how big this thing is. The Amazon page states that it is as thick as 3 S22 Ultras and yeah, it's pretty close to that.
Aside from its thickness the case feels pretty durable. It comes with a dual layer system, a polycarbonate interior shell covered by a tough exterior skin similar to an Otterbox. It has all the cutouts for the cameras, charger, pen, speaker and microphones. The overlay on the hardware buttons feel a little mushy but have a satisfying "click" when depressed.
As far as protection goes I think it will do a decent job of keeping your S22U from getting jacked up should you drop it while wearing this suit of armor. The corners are well protected as well as the camera. The screen, however, isn't really recessed from the front so a screen protector is definitely recommended. Although the product page on Amazon says that this case is not compatible with a tempered glass screen protector, the one I purchased (AACL) has no issues fitting with this case.
I have been using this for a couple of days now and yet to plug it to recharge. And as far as that goes, you can either use your USB-C cable or a wireless charging pad to charge the battery and your phone simultaneously.
I have been a ZeroLemon fan since the days of the Galaxy SIII and I am so glad they came out with this. It has everything that I am looking for in a battery case but I wish they would have included a belt clip similar to an Otterbox to help lug this thing around. Any one else thinking about or already picked up one of these? If so how are you liking it?
Why not carrying a 10000mAh powerbank and use a normal case?

they keep making them that big they're going to be the size of a car phone from the 80's.

So what is the total weight of this unit + phone together?
As someone who wants to bicycle to camping spots far away from civilization for about 3-4 days, this would be excellent. And yet, this case wouldn't fit most handlebar mounts. I'm sure the case I have is already pushing it since the phone is already so big (Pelican), these just keep getting bigger.
_________
Also: @mzsquared
Product Weight: 9.45 oz (267g)
Phone weight 229g
= 496g (1.093lbs.)
So more dangerous than 1 brick of butter.
Wow, looks bigger than any previous one's i've used from them.. can it work with the Whitestone Dome screen protector?
This case looks desirable. Some of the product reviews on Amazon say it falsely detects water damage, preventing charging. Is this a problem anyone in this thread has seen?
That thing is an absolute monstrosity. I can't imagine having that in my pocket at the gym. Suspenders would be a necessity.
look like you can kill somebody with it lol

Can someone tell me if this damages the battery? Batteries shouldn't be constantly topped up, so just wondering about that. I have heard about smart battery cases though, so I'm wondering what smart features this has.

It shouldn't. I don't start charging mine until I'm @25% or less. Maybe if you constantly turned it on and charged all the time.

I want to get one too! A have a couple of questions, if you don't mind answering them. Does the case super fast charge the phone? Also, does the case get super fast charged too? Because I normally use the 45W one and I wouldn't like a step down from that one.

Hey guys,
Just bought the Incipio Feather case and wanted to share my thoughts in case some people were thinking about buying.
The case is definitely very light weight and pretty thin (Incipio states that it is less than 1 mm thin). It's an "ultra light, ultra strong polymer" hard case that is smooth to the touch while having a slightly rubbery feel to it. The case itself has very clean edges with no trace of any manufacturing defects. There are cutouts for the power and volume buttons, hdmi port (it's covered in the pictures on their site, but there is indeed a cutout for this), usb port, camera, microphone, headphone jack, and speakerphone. With the exception of the battery, everything is easily accessible through these cutouts.
As for protection, this is where I've been disappointed. First off, the side of the case does not rise above the side of the phone, so when you put the phone face down, the screen will be touching the surface (they provide a screen protector, but I don't think that's enough). Secondly, the case does not completely wrap around the phone, so both the top and, more importantly, the bottom of the phone are exposed. The bottom is important because on a straight drop, the pointed part of the phone will take all of the impact because it protrudes beyond the corner parts of the case. The top isn't as bad because it's flatter, so the corner portions of the case will ideally take the impact. Granted, you aren't purchasing a "feather" or "barely there" case for its protective qualities, but I think that had Incipio manufactured the case to fully wrap around the phone, both the protection and aesthetics of the case would have been enhanced.
In regards to the aesthetics, I purchased the case to avoid the bulkiness of other cases so that I could enjoy the look of the phone. However, the cutouts and the fact that the case doesn't fully wrap around the phone cause the Feather case to "break" the smooth lines of the phone. I would definitely prefer the look of a case that fully wraps around the phone.
Overall, I would not purchase this case again. At $25, even with the screen protector and microfiber cloth, I think that a case like the Androidified case that I previously reviewed provides better value with more protection. With the TPU case, my phone experienced no damage after I accidentally dropped the phone while getting out of a car. I can't say that the Feather case would provide the same sort of protection.
Thanks for the review, this was my favorite case when I had my Atrix. I noticed it on the site the day it went up but did not buy it because an employee confirmed over live chat that there was no hdmi cutout. Now that I know it is there I am placing an order now. I just bought the otterbox and I like it but its just too much for me.
This is almost the same exact case as this:
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&accessoryId=47557
But yours is probably a tiny bit thinner. And this one has a pull out stand which is awesome. They tried to sell this hardcore when i bought the phone, and I got it then.

The Incipio also doesn't have those rubber ridges. I had one of these cases on my Thunderbolt and I hated it because I keep my phone in my pocket. Went with a Case-Mate Barely There case which seems to be similar to the Incipio.
It reminds me of an ultra light 1 piece Seidio innocase. It has a similar feel but its lighter and thinner.
After using this case for a few days I have to agree. This case is not worth it at all. The feather used to be my choice but incipio did not do well with this one.
I'm really hoping case-mate jumps on it and makes a barely there case for the Charge.

Yeah same here. I went back to my Otterbox case but I just ordered the Trident Aegis today. I would rather have a thin light case but this feather is just plain terrible.
Why you going with Trident Aegis..instead of just using the Otterbox?
Just curious on your thoughts on the Otterbox..did you get the Trident? How is it?
The Otterbox is a good case but I am not too sold on having the buttons on the bottom covered. The Trident case shipped today and I will post pics and a review of the Aegis when it comes.
Out of the four cases I have tried for the Charge I think I finally found my favorite. The Trident Aegis has some problems as did all the cases I tried but it is the best. It comes in 5 colors and they look great. I got the blue one and it looks as good in person as it does on the site.
The materials used are very nice and the surface has a great anti-skid finish that provides great in hand grip. The hard plastic outer shell covers all 4 sides of the phone for a tight fit. It is thicker then the Otterbox Commuter at the phones curve at the bottom but I actually like that. It gives the phone a great feel when using it in landscape mode. Even though it is a bit bulky it does fit in pockets easily. The corners of the case are heavily padded for drop protection.
All of the ports are covered to prevent dust, moisture or any other unwanted substance getting into them. I found that the usb port was hard to open at times (I have no finger nails) and that the hdmi cover opens a little to easily. The power button and volume rocker are covered as well and easily accessible. One of the things I really like is the dust filter on the speaker opening. The speaker is loud and clear and will not be getting dust in it. The lip that goes around the screen is not as big as the Otterbox but provides just as good of protection.
The protection this case offers is great. Its not as heavy duty as the Otterbox Defender or the Trident Kracken II but it is good enough for every day use. It comes with a screen protector that I did not use. I would recommend this case without a doubt. While its not perfect its does correct the things that I did not like about the Otterbox Commuter and provides just as good of protection. If I can get access to a camera at some point I will post some pictures to go along with the review.
Thanks for all of the info. both here and via PM.
I want to hold out for the Kraken 2, but my Otterbox is driving me nuts so I might just grab an Aegis.

The top and the bottom edges of the Otterbox are not covered by the hard plastic so it is kind of loose. The buttons are also covered which I don't like and the hard plastic is kind of slippery.

I don't like how the top of the silicon portion isn't supported by the hard case, so it easily separates from the phone if you lift the phone by that area.
I also find that, while it's nice to slip in and out of your pocket, the hard case is too slippery for my tastes. It slides off of sloped surfaces and I've almost dropped the phone a few times now.
Personally, I like having the hard buttons covered, but the silicon that covers the buttons doesn't seem to fit tight against the screen, so debris can work its way underneath.
I never use the HDMI port, so not having it protected by silicon makes no sense to me.
Don't let my dislikes make it seem like it's a bad case, it's not, but I think the Aegis will fit me better. The Aegis should arrive tomorrow, so we shall see.
I'm thinking of making a short video to show the differences between the cases. I'll let you know when it's up.
Moondrius and Romemo,
Have either of you had the Incipio case before your trident case? I'm wondering how they compare. I'm surprised to see the trident case so slim since I always incorporate trident cases to be monsters.
I had the Incipio double cover and the Feather and both were sent back. The double cover was alright until I noticed it covered the hdmi port. It did seem thin and less bulky. The Aegis is the most bulky of the 3 but in a good way I would say. Its slightly thicker at the bottom. I would say I liked the Double Cover more then the Otterbox but I used it for like 5 minutes. The Feather was complete garbage. Its a shame because I really liked the Feather when I had my Atrix.
Thanks. I have the Incipio double cover. I really like it since I never use hdmi, not sure I can handle anything that would be bulkier.

Does verizon sell the Incipio case for the Charge? If so, how much do they ask for it? I really like the looks of the Incipio case and I am just trying to figure out if a covered HDMI port is worth it. I get 25% off accessories at Verizon so if the price is reasonable I wouldn't mind picking one up to try it out.
So I get my Charge on Monday. I have the cyclops series trident case for the fassy. It felt good. Overall I liked it. So I purchased the aegis. I bought it from the same ebay seller I got the fassy from: cyclopscase.
A good price too 23.33 with free shipping.

My dust cover for the hdmi port ripped off yesterday. I went to go use it and while pulling the tab off of the phone it just ripped right off. That tab is really flimsy and I used very little force around it.

Yikes... Yeah, that's a definite weak spot. I was thinking that, if I go back to my Aegis, I would just remove that cover.
Is it easy to take in and out of the case? I bought the media dock and the car dock, which leaves no room for a case. So I've been using the zagg shield that covers the entire phone. Problem is with the car dock, the sides have been tearing off due to putting the phone in and out of the dock. It's pretty useless, so I want a real case, but I don't want to buy a new car or media dock for it.
Does the Aegis come off and on pretty easily?

IMHO no. The hard outer shell is designed to be a reeeeally tight fit around the soft inside cover. As a current owner I wouldn't want to constantly take it off and put it back on for a car dock. Plus I think it would eventually wear on the buttons and dust covers.

Damn, thanks for the response. I guess I'll be running the sides of my phone naked with the Zagg shield on the front and back
I've had a few cases so far. Ringke Flex and the Spigen Neo Hybrid.
I had the Spigen the longest, for maybe a month. It looks great, but the square design gets to be very uncomfortable and hard to reach areas of the phone while in use. The buttons are incredibly responsive. Which is a plus for casual use, not a plus when you don't want them to be as responsive, either in pocket or using as a camera. The Ringke Flex I had for a week. The case is a very nice fit, but the buttons are almost rock hard to push, the back is slippery due to an odd design, and the case still adds an extended bulk which is kind of strange.
My prior phone was a Galaxy Nexus, and had a Diztronic case after following up on great Amazon reviews. For whatever reason, I thought I would get something more visually appealing and fancy for this device.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JQMDGG8/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
In the end, I just went back to where I started. Unless you are one of those people who enjoy having a very bulky case (Lifeproof/Otter) for max protection, the Diztronic TPU case is a very nice slim fit, has the best matte finish I've seen for people with sweaty hands or just enjoy a better grip, and the phone physically still looks very appealing. The buttons are also the most tactile and responsive I've seen on the cases to date. Anyone looking for something minimalistic, but has some protection which is not over the top, you can do far worse then spending $10 on this case. Cannot recommend enough.
*Unfortunately tried to take photos, but my best camera is the one on the S5!

Technically, it does not fit the OEM wireless cover. However, I used a heat gun to stretch mine out, and the fit is OK, though not perfect. You can still see a little bit of the silver on the sides of the phone. The volume and power buttons work fine. I've been using the case now for over a week and there are no functionality issues.
Not familiar with the other backing myself. Like the other poster mentioned, it's a nice tight fit, so some finagling may be required to get it to work.

I agree. I had the Diztronic on my Nexus and the S5 case is even nicer. If you want something that will give a measure of protection without putting your phone in a hermetically sealed pickle jar, Diztronic is the answer.
Thanks guys! I don't come on XDA as often as I used to, but I was browsing the accessory thread this morning to do some research as to the demand of a case that will work with the wireless charging door. Nice start to my morning to find this thread!
It sounds like quite a few people want a case that will work with the official samsung charging door and their S5. I didn't make it before as my thinking was can't they just put a Qi receiver pad under their stock door and use any case they want? I guess the problem with that is it won't seal tight enough to keep water out. So a case that fits the wireless door is needed.
I'll think it over today. But I think there is a good chance well make a new case specifically for the wireless charging door. I'll post an update on our website if we do.
I would buy one. Already own diztronic case for s5 and s2. I think many of us would prefer a matte front (same finish as the back). The shiny black plastic all consumer electronic manufacturers are using looks cheap with reflections, scratches, and fingerprints.
Samsung should have included wireless charging in the s5 along with a magnetic charging port like the Nexus 10 pogo, and front speakers. Instead we have a worthless heart rate sensor.
We could try a matte front, I just don't think it looks as nice against the glossy screen. In my opinion the glossy lip blends better next to the display, almost like you don't even have a case on. Unlike our competitors that have recently started offering similar style cases as ours, only our front lip is glossy. Their cases the entire top half is glossy, similar to our old S2 case.
The S5 wireless charging door case could be a good model to test full matte on though.

you could always get this it wirelessly charges through the case just fine using it on my S5 with the neo hybrid case just fine. as for keeping the water protection it seems to work just fine put my phone in the fishtank for 25 mins with no issues to test it.

That's not a TPU case. It contains TPU on the inside, buts it's a dual layer two piece case with a polycarbonate shell. it's basically exactly the same as our Reactor case for the GS5. It's a fine case, but personally I don't like dual layer cases on my phone. Too bulky. According to that page you linked it weighs 5 ounces! That's a tank compared to a 21g TPU case. It's a totally different class of product then a traditional single layer TPU case. It also does appear to "borrow" heavily from UAGs design. I really hate it when companies do that, but it is what it is, happens in every industry.

I prefer to think of it as the screen protectors not being compatible with cases I think it's far more common for someone to only have a case than to only have a screen protector. The vast majority of people using screen protectors will also use a case. However many use a case but no screen protector. Given that, companies that make screen protectors should do a better job making sure their products can be used with a case.
To answer your question (somewhat) , I used a tempered glass SP on my old S4 and one of our cases. It was a bit of a stretch, but after a day or two it fit well enough. I haven't tested it on an S5 however. We are going to start adding a small amount of depth to our cases in the future, likely 0.25mm to better accommodate thick screen protectors. We have to be careful that the case still fits well for those that don't use screen protectors. The new OnePlus One is the first case well be testing this on.
Ive had this case for my S3. Wonderful case and great price.
Unfortunately, they dont ship to the Netherlands. I really want this one

Hi guys,
I finally got around to doing a review on the Moko Heavy Duty Case for my 6P. I ordered this on amazon.ca. I've rocked this case for about a week now since I did that video, and I am pleasantly surprised.
The cutouts are precise, and the case does not look or feel cheap. The fingerprint scanner is easy to use still as well. The plastic is pretty soft, and I don't think it would stay on on its own without the black shell, but it does fit perfectly. Also, didn't notice much pocket lint or anything else sticking to it like some have reported. Overall it's a great option for a more rugged case for the Nexus 6P, especially here in Canada, where the options can be sparse. Here's the link from amazon.

11 bucks plus tax, and since I have PRIME, also got free 2 day shipping. Yes, I have a compulsive online shopping problem...
I will also post reviews for my Spigen Rugged Armour and a Poetic Revolution cases shortly.

I've got one in blue but I don't use it anymore. It's a pretty nice case and the quality is fantastic I just wish they would stop putting those huge bumps on the back for no reason. They serve absolutely no purpose and double the thickness of the phone. They do this on these cases for all phones and just still makes no sense.

You might be interested in this CoverON case, which has no such huge bumps on the back. It has an unusual 3-piece design, with a hard plastic piece that snaps on from the front of the phone (in addition to the usual one from the back), locking the soft TPU in place in the middle. I'm quite happy with the build quality, and because of the design it seems like possibly the toughest case you can get that (a) still looks even remotely normal and (b) doesn't have an integrated plastic screen protector, making it easy to add a tempered-glass one of your own. (Note, though—I have an IntelliArmor "case-friendly" TGSP, and it fits perfectly but with absolutely no room to spare. Full-coverage TGSPs will definitely interfere with the TPU at the edges of the screen, although because of the way the case fits together you might be able to get them to nestle nicely under it without lifting up.)

Nice to see somebody on this site review that case. Which color did you get? Do you have any holsters to see if this will fit?

I have the black version. Based on the pictures on Amazon the colors looked like they'd be pretty in-your-face, especially since the highlight color is visible directly around the edges of the screen. I'm afraid I don't have any holsters—I've never used one.
I realize, I forgot to mention the most important thing! The headphone and USB-C cutouts on this case, as shipped, are not large enough for most cables. The stock USB-C cable fits but scuffs the sides, many high-quality third-party cables won't, and the only headphone plugs that will fit are the super-tiny ones that some headphones have for exactly this reason. But! If you have a decent utility knife, some courage, and a steady hand, it's possible to enlarge the cutouts without messing up the case. (I cut away a tiny bit of the TPU near the jacks as well, since it was being deformed when plugging in a cable.) With this done it works beautifully—the case is even thin enough to use a Square credit-card reader in the headphone jack.

I would 100% second this review. Having this case on my phone for each interation of new Samsung phone has been a must for the last 3 years. The best part about these cases is the fact i've only bought one case for each of my phones. They just last. I used to have 3 or 4 cases by the time i was on to the next model. Since, the Note wasn't updated last summer i kept my note 20 and the case is still good as new 18 months later (kickstand included).
Oh and for anyone wondering about screen protectors, I have had the whitestone dome on my phones as well with these cases and they fit perfectly.
I have the orange color combo seen in the last picture above on my note 20 and its still my favorite.
To start I have been using Armadillotek, now known as Caseborne for a couple years now on every phone I have had since I first tried their cases out. Being a person who is very clumsy and drops their phone quite a bit, this case has been a life saver. It is a heavy duty case without the bulkiness you get from an OtterBox. The case has allowed me to use any standard tempered glass screen protector that are compatible with cases as well. If you are looking for an amazing case that will protect your phone and last this is the case to go with. Some of my other favorite features of the case is definitely the kickstand when I'm sitting there and I want to watch YouTube or movies. And the fact it it also covers the charging port from any dust or moisture is a huge plus. Also you can't beat the price! To buy a case under $25 that has features like the kickstand and charging port cover all while giving you drop protection to protect your phone you spent well over $1000 on speaks for itself. You won't regret buying this case. I'm not big on leaving reviews but for this case I definitely have to speak the truth about how well it works.

I love it more than OTTERBOX
EDIT - Wrong review. LOL
Over all good phone case with few downsides. I’ve used this since the first day to now . And I must say my phone looks brand new under the case. I’ve dropped it on every hard surface you’ll see from day to day work. Day one I threw my phone into the stone tile at work for a co-worker with enough force to bounce the phone, again it looks brand new.
I've been very happy with mine. ArmadilloTek has been very consistent as far as the fit and finish. The buttons have a very tactile response, vs some other cases I've used that sacrificed the clicky feeling for protection. This case has managed to be very protective, while still having perfect access to the buttons. My phone feels indestructible in this. Two thumbs up!

I am glad you like it. Did you try the R series?
I've been using the V series for a few days now, and it's such a nice case. The kickstand is a little tough to get out sometimes, but once it wears in it's easier to work with. It def will protect the phone against drops and damage. I think between the R and the V, I am keeping the V on the phone.
The tank of cases. This beats other similar brands for durability and design. It even has a stand on it and screen protector. Throw this off a cliff, it will survive! Buttons are great, and have good feedback. Has a cover for the lighting port and wireless charging works fine through this case.
Highly recommended cases right here. top notch quality and great customer support. fast shipping. What more can you say. Thumbs up ArmadilloTek.

Where does it say it has a screen protector? Not seeing that..
Loving mine even though I don't do the kickstand, it is a durable and protective case for sure. Well worth the money! I like the black the best.
I have there Orange/grey case and I like it a lot, I tried the clear case with the rainbow frame but I found to slick to keep ahold of it, especially with wet hands and the car wash I work at you get wet hands often.
