Thank you man

Recieved today. Pretty quick shipping from Samsung(ordered on 19th). Nice slim design and charges with my Galaxy tab 10.1 charger that i have at work(don't know if that will speed up charging or not) with the spare battery it comes with i think its a good buy for original Samsung product, will give it some test runs with various chargers through out this week.

Curious, is the "stand" portion of the charger permanently fixed at that angle or can it be folded down/removed? I'm asking about portability of the unit. Seems it would be fragile/hard to transport with the stand sticking up at that angle all the time.

 

[KING SKILLZ]

Definitely portable, its just a groove that's built in that the phone can sit in vertically or horizontally. The back part that supports the phone while in the groove is the flap that covers the charging battery, it opens and closes, but in my opinion ain't needed to support the phone.

 

[chazglenn3]

Does it charge the phone too?

 

[KING SKILLZ]

No, but the included charging adapter fits the phone.

Just ordered mine from amazon and used the $35 in promo codes and free shipping to get a fair price on it.

Gonna be nice to have a spare battery and little holder for my desk!

The site listed (TEN in stock before I bought this a few minutes ago).

Thanks for the review fellas.


The $35 in promotional gifts (On top of a full refund for "one day shipping", AND the items that were shipped) was because I placed an order for overnight or ONE day shipping with amazon at around 7am Eastern time. Called to MAKE SURE IT WAS SET AND WOULD BE HERE NEXT DAY, I told them that if it can't I want to immediately cancel. Had them send an e-mail saying will ship and guaranteed to have it next day. NEVER CAME of course, got lost somewhere in kansas (not kidding). So if you NEED NEED NEED something, even with their one day shipping and following up with a phone call to make sure cannot make any guarantees.

Call and complain properly (including telling them your returning a Kindle you just bought as a gift for someone) to the right person(s) and you will get satisfaction.

I have this for my vibrant, and the battery from the E4GT fits and charges. My vibrant batter also fits in my E4GT, but is only 1500mah. This is how I got my phone to start working again after the zedomax kernel fails to charge from 0%.

I was wondering about this as the batteries are not neccessarily the same, there is a little difference in the the adaptor section of the battery when you place it in the phone, but that is a minor issue. So I had gone online with a samsung tech and he assured me that the vibrant spare battery charger would work and charge the Epic 4G Touch battery.
So, for whatever that is worth, this does seem to work.

Just in case anyone is wondering, with a tpu case & steinheil screen protector on the phone - it sits perfectly in the stand vertically and horizontally as well. Anything thicker I am not sure, of course, it fits perfect with the phone naked as well, it seems to latch onto the tiny little lip and when the case is installed the edge of the case sits on it (it sits flush and does not bend tpu). I am very happy with this product overall.

The charger does fit the 1500 mah G9 battery (I think its the one above they are talking about) which also fits the galaxy s2 epic 4g touch phone I am speaking of, albeit a bit TIGHT, you cannot just take off the cover and flip it out via gravity & a snap of your wrist as you can with the stock 1800 mah battery. I works, and surprisingly the life on the 1500 isnt anything terrible, unless your 4g all day and refreshing everything syching everything lol...

My $.02 here. This has been -- for me -- the best accessory I could have purchased. I've had battery issues since Day 1 (won't cry here), and the great thing about this is that whether my battery lasts 8 hours or 18, I don't worry anymore, because if/when it dies, I swap in another battery at 100% charge.

Think about what else that means: you can let your battery run down further (down to 1% or less if you like), because you stop worrying about that 'unexpected surprise usage need' that might come up. You stop worrying about losing battery halfway through the day and asking someone (wherever you happen to be), "hey, is there somewhere around here that I can plug my phone in?"

Sure, an extra battery by itself may be helpful, but for a few dollars more, you gain a huge benefit : the battery doesn't have to be in the phone when its charging.

The corollary to that, (and in case anyone is wondering) is that the phone itself does NOTHING but rest on the stand, in the groove; this is not a dock, it does NOT charge your phone, it only HOLDS your phone (which frankly is a little silly, because you'd only prop your phone if you were leaving the screen on, and you'd likely only leave the screen on if there were a charge or AC source.

But nevertheless, worth its weight in gold. And the charging unit is small enough that you can take it with you - put your spare battery in your pocket, under the protection of the charger, and the spare change or other metal objects in your pockets are not going to boink the battery.

good stuff...

Does anyone know if Amazon includes the spare battey with the charger? Im guessing it does, but need some assurance before making the purchase.

 

[nerys71]

he countered $33 so I took it

if its the OEM "kit" it will include the battery. thats why it costs so much
