Are those pictures supposed to be true representations of the actual case? I noticed there aren't holes for the IR blaster and top Mic.

When you guys get it in let ever one know how it is. One of the few things I want to know is how are the rear buttons? That's the main thing really. Other than that only other small worry is the rear speaker volume after the case is on.

I believe it is. Note that the back speaker holes are actually on the bottom. The battery would be on top of the speaker so the closest way out would be to the bottom. I am not terribly enthusiastic with ZL's new design. I wish they stopped trying to out-ugly the Otterbox and made the smallest possible cover as before.

I didn't even think about the battery covering the speaker. Has that been confirmed? That's kind of a deal breaker for me. Glad I haven't already made the purchase.

I have not seen the actual G3 battery, but I've seen their batteries for other phones. They way they achieve their monster capacity is that the battery does not just occupy the battery slot, but pancakes over the whole back surface of the phone. It does not reach as high as the camera, but everything else on the back gets covered up. In addition, I can't think what other purpose would have the four holes on the bottom edge if not for the speaker. You can see both the holes and how the battery covers up the speaker in the third picture of that ebay link. OFC it would still be muffled that way.
TBH, even though I was a loyal customer previously, I think I'll pass on this battery for now too. My reasons are:
1. I need an everyday use device, not a ruggerized brick that I could use as a weapon in a tight spot.
2. Covered ports - in addition to finding a dock compatible with this monstrosity, I now need to fiddle with port covers
3. Muffled speaker. I spend plenty of hours on teleconferences and a loud speaker is important to me.
4. I finally jumped on on the wireless charging bandwagon and there is no going back. I just love the convenience of just putting the phone down and picking it up whenever without messing with connectors. I bought a couple of chinese TYLT ripoffs for home and office and a one touch car phone holder with wireless charging. With G3s excellent stock battery life, I am covered for day to day. I also applied for their spare battery promotions, so I think I'll be OK for flying/traveling as well. I will test that theory soon.

Didn't realise the speaker covered up until after I purchased. If its bad when I get it, I may just cut a whole out haha. Smh. or end up hestitantly using it.. hope its not the deal breaker. imam miss wireless charging too. But that extra battery life will be extremely handy

On their other products with rear speakers, they leave a channel under the battery where the speaker is and have a hole in the bottom of the case to direct it out. It's not ideal, but having a rear mounted speaker isn't really ideal either. If they are doing this on their G3 product, it should be OK.

This is on Amazon's product page:

Q: Looks like over sized case covers the back speaker is this true or is this just the picture. If case does cover the back speaker how does this work.
A: Thank you for your interest. ZeroLemon has manufactured the case and battery to reroute the audio to the bottom of the case. Rest assured this does not render the audio of your device. Please let us know if you have further questions or concerns. Regards, Holly

Mine came today and I love it. Adds much needed thickness and heft to the phone. Speaker doesn't sound attenuated. Buttons on the back can now be used without fear of fingering the camera.

Do the buttons work every time ? Also dose the case interfere with the camera, my g2 zerolemon case was not too good. The camera (especially with flash) would make pictures look bad. On the pictures one corner was blocked pretty bad. The buttons work 7 Times out of 10. Hopefully the fixed All that for the G3, if they did I'd love to have it.
