Ok correct me if i am wrong.
This case is capable to charge my HOX with only the current deposited in it.
I am asking because i don't want to get this one in place of a slim shell I just want to have a current reserve when i am not near the cgharger.
And second, does it have some secondary effect on battery?

All the best

edit: someone have any idea of How many cycles of charging HOX support the 6000 mAh?

regards

Interested in this myself. I'm sure someone posted a conversion of 3.7v 5v and then an estimation of mah left over..

Just thought I'd report back with my purchase, I bought the 3200mAh slim rounded white case branded "power bank"

takes around 6 to 8 hours to fully charge using the standard wall charger for my HOX, remains cool while charging which makes me think its not using 1A of charge but 500mA.

When fully charged it will charge my HOX from ~2% up to ~60% in around 3-4 hours. All up would be an addition of around 8-10 hours battery life

While charging both the case and phone get a bit warm, I'd say around 25-28 degrees(C), not hot but noticeable.

Case is surprisingly well built, no squeaks gaps or imperfections that I can see, aside from the "stand" this is really nice

Very happy with my purchase, bought for $31USD and shipped to New Zealand, took less than a week from Hong Kong

Hope this helps, the Mugen power batteries look good but far too much money for me, I wont be using the batteries daily so a reduced number of cycles is not an issue for me

Pics of the case? Is it the same design as the 2200 version I was taking about and linked?

And so this one charges hox back up to 100%?

So you didn't even get a full charge out of the 3200? 2% to 60%. I get 50% from 2000mah.
Weak..
Open it up and take a look what size battery is inside. It's very easy to open.

He did get a full charge....he just said it took like 4 hours to go from 2% -60%. Another 4-6 hours to get full 100%
