Hi All,
I have been getting more from this forum than giving away so I decided to give away some insights into how I perceive the new Zerolemon arrival.
I purchased this case and I am not involved in reviewers program of any sort. I still have my galaxy s3 with zerolemon. Therefore, as soon as I got S7 I purchased zerolemon for it to keep me going.
I will keep it short and to the point:
1. General built quality I can't complain about. Thus in case of a drop I dare to say Zerolemon for S3 Rugged Case (the older version) seems to offer more protection. Don't take it for granted.
2. In terms of the size this case is massive although when you look and compare with the one for S3 it's just slightly thicker but considerably longer due to the built-in port at the bottom (well that is a downside of galaxy s7 with built in battery). The size of it in my opinion just just too big to carry in my jeans' pocket (see pics). I even think that I would sacrifice the capacity over functionality so the case is a bit slimmer.
3. Ports and covers. Here is the main difference in terms of quality. On S3 case everything fits perfectly and holds in place. On the contrary the S7 case has design flaw especially when it comes to the cover for charging port. Once charged the cover does not stay shut for a long period of time so it might be easy to tear it of after some time and it is annoying. The culprit in my opinion is too shallow hole in the case and too short rubber which was supposed to click in that hole (please correct me as I do not know the description of this little ending protruding from the flap itself). This could be sorted by using similar solution like with the headphone port flap in S3 case. Alternatively, I was thinking about getting some good glue and apply a thin layer on that little thing so it is made a bit longer and keeps the flap closed right after charging.
4. I did not have much time to test how much juice I will get as I decided to return this battery but with a deep regret as I got used to juice wherever I am. I will just wait for a revised version or get other brands like Trianium which I thing do not offer that much capacity but it is slimmer.
5. There is a LED indicator showing you how much battery charge is left in the case and the charging button must be hold longer to discharge which is good. This prevents accidental charges in you pocket.
If you have some questions till I have this battery until Monday 12 September let me know.
