ZeroLemon 8500mah Battery Case Review

Attached are a bunch of pictures to attempt to give you an idea of the case size and design...



Initial thoughts...

I bought this case after using the official Samsung Battery Case. I'll do a review of that case later. The bottom line for me was that I needed significantly more power than what that case could provide. I'm heavy user to say the least. I'm not a heavy video watcher or anything lazy like that. I run a couple different businesses and my cell phone is my main form of communication. I talk on average five hours or more a day. I have calls and texts coming in from both my T-Mobile SIM and Google Voice. When I'm not taking calls, I listen Audible or sometimes music.

That daily routine is how I judge my battery life. As for settings, Bluetooth is always and connected to either my car or headset. WiFi is usually off. Screen brightness is set on auto. I am connected to Android Wear at all times. I think that covers everything.

Design...

The TPU design of the case is traditional. The case is rather austere in its design to say the least. It's all black. It's a soft, matte finish. It's a lot more comfortable to hold than one would think since its rather bulky. Heat dissipation is great which is surprising as well.

Size...

The case is big. There is no way around that. However, it is actually not too bad to hold. It's like a brick to be honest, but it really doesn't feel like one. I usually use my phone with one hand and I don't have issues doing that with this case. I will say, however, that while I don't have the biggest hands, anyone with small hands will not be able to one hand the device probably.

Power...

This is where this beauty shines!!! On an average day, I go thru almost two batteries worth of power or about 7200mah. I have yet to get this battery showing less than 50% (although I know I have to have more than 50% of the battery pack).

Final thoughts...

This case is definitely worth every penny. It isn't much larger than the Samsung Official Case but it has triple the battery life after considering the charging inefficiencies of Qi charging. If physical size is an issue for you, then I'd recommend getting the Incipio battery case as it's thinner than the Samsung but has more battery life. The Mophie case is just way overpriced for less battery.
