The only thing which can make me hesitate is the weight. It will be heavy like an ipad mini lol! About 300grams.
I don't know the weight with an 6200mah battery

Well, got my otter box modded for the ZL. Also soldered wires from the gold pins to extend my NFC and Wireless charging. I had to put some double sided 3M automotive tape on the power and volume buttons, and used a heat gun to stretch the cover a smidge, but all 3 buttons work great! I'm all set lol. Definitely not what most folk would do, but I'm completely functional and other than the slight bulge in the back, looks just like a defender case. Super happy!
I am so so glad you told us how to stretch the rubber/silicone...I did the otterbox mod and was sad the buttons don't reach correctly and was wondering how to stretch it. Also, I believe you can have NFC if you just cut a square out of the plastic back cover (I bought a second back cover with antenna for $10). you will see the zerolemon battery has room under itself to fit on top of the back cover with a square cut out for the battery to slip through...mine fits fine, see photos.
See in the photos how it sits atop the backing with a hole cut out but (I believe) the antennae still is operational. (never tried NFC though)
I don't have room there for the NFC because that's where my 128gb sdcard is That was my biggest worry with this mod but it fits easy

lol i see so many people saying the claims 9300 mah is way off a few getting only 2 days.. and you guys all screamed at me for giving it a bad review.. a i told you so is what i should be saying.. this thing is horrible.. the case if you drop it will likely fall off causing phone damage.. now we have to wait for them to make one a hard case.. of course more money for it..
ive had mine idle no screen on 3 days tops.. i got that with the stock battery..
so the claims of 3 times more capacity is just another lie.. one guy said his drops 1% per hour mine did that every 30 minutes.......
no more extended batteries for any of my phones there all made in china china has no standards like the us does.. samsung isnt china and samsung makes the best stuff thats why the stock battery lasts 3 days and barely goes down....... rip me all you want... all yall got pissed at me lol now im the one laughing
For me, I truly am getting 3x the usage out of the ZL battery compared to the stock battery, so it is performing exactly as advertised.
I've been trying to use the last 20 percent for over a day now.
Bought one last week had it in for 2 days ish now and I'm only at 70% its really crazy =D
Not sure if the battery indicator is reliable. I was at 4 percent for almost six hours then another 4 hours before the phone finally shut down.
so the battery is settling into its own now. i went to bed last night after a day and a half off the charger with 41%...woke up with 41%. i just think that the phones are not able to correctly gauge the percentage of battery with these huge batteries
id give it a few more charge cycles, my precentage dropped like that too but then hovered at 74% for like 8 hours then dropped again and hovered at 56% for the night, the phone isnt calibrated yet.
First discharge test complete. 9347mAh.
Test was done with an R/C battery analyzer using a 1Amp discharge rate with 2.9V as the cutoff voltage. I've used this unit and settings before using stock batteries from other phones as a control, it has always been consistent.
Nice work ZL.
16% 3days 5 hours and 11 hours screen time on my first charge...this is clearly the extended battery to get.
I am not sure why Locust34 states the case is loose. Mine is super tight.

Hi.
Do you have any issue with the camera with the case ? The opener of the camera seems to be smaller with the case no?
Anyone tried to take picture or movie with the case ZL and the stock to compare ?
Thanks

not till 2 days after.. see i look at it this way.. you make a promiss you keep it... they should have shipped 1 week before the 15th then it would be on time.. just for failing a promiss they should give a small discount for 24 hours... also these things the way they respond in their emails sound chinese.. that means the battery is made in china we all know extended batteries from china like the 3 i bought 2 months ago all failed within a month... so i hope they wont cut and run or say oh i pay return shipping... no no im not the one that will loose you pay return shipping or reimburse me.. so i hope it holds up to its claims that it is 9300 mah because i will test it
they cant advertise 1 day shipping then you pay for it and it come next week thats false advertising.. i paid 43 total with 1 day shipping..
if mine dosnet show up tomorrow or the next day i will demand my 4 dollars back....
thats 2 red flags on this company so far if i dont get it in 1 day.. 3rd will be it only holds so much charge then fails to live up to its mah
amazon.com sucks.. i talked to a live agent though a chat window.. on why they show the product and why they have 1 day shipping
first it sounded like an indian dude not an american who understood a simple English sentence i wrote..
second they said they get then from a warehouse from zerolemon... and i said so why did i pay 4 bucks to get my product tomorrow when you dont even have it in stock .... got no answer..... then i notice 1.00 check card authroization on my card.. for singing up to the dumb club.. which i intend to cancel.. and they dont tell you they do. that..
dont shop at amazon they are big ripp offs.. just read there own forum lots of complaints.. so when my battery comes monday i will demand my 4 bucks back seeing how they had free ship anyway and 1 day which was the only choices i had...
wow customer service nowadays is the worst ive seen.. way back when you got answeres now they just tell you to screw off.
great for some others they just dont care.... there is no other website to get this from zerolemon said they only go with amazon.....
i just got the 4 bucks waived they even told me 2 days or more because its not in their stock..
and the 1 dollar charge its to see if you have an good credit card that works.. i told them hey i buy off you all year long how does it not work... it would have been nice to know that before you charged it no where does it state it would have been charged 1 dollar...
again they dont inform you of stuff.... another situation i went with a gameservers.com they screwed me over last week paid them money set up the server server went offline for a week they refused to email me back and explain.. i asked for a refund.. withing 30 seconds i got an email hmmmm...
businesses now dont care about us they have so much broad customers that the 1 customer they can tell screww off .. back in the day it was yes sir and no problem and never any problems.. lately companies dont give a crap.. take gas they just finally said it oh we can charge what we want regardless of demand and supply... we the people have no more power over anything... it has to change...
sorry for spouting off.. but im tired of being stepped on by companies.. this is the 4th time in 2 weeks..
Could you post some pictures of the case and comment on the feel please? Thanks
