Droidax Power Pack Case Review - Galaxy S III Accessories

Hey everyone, got the chance to review the Power Pack by Droidax for the last 3 weeks and I must say I've enjoyed feeling "invincible" with a powerful phone coupled with amazing battery life. If you're in the market for an extended battery for your GS3, give this a look before you commit. Below are pics I used for the review and full details can be found at the link including a video walk through.

both the blue and white versions are out of stock. You should also mention that they are in Australia. Might impact shipping times and costs for US users.

He didn't write the review, I did. No point in saying it's sold out since they replenish often and I'd be changing it back and forth every few days. But he is correct that US customers have it shipped from Michigan so it's standard shipping and wait time.

I have an Active Combo and it's pretty decent. However, Seidio is coming out with an Active Extended Combo to go with their Innocell 3500 mAh battery. Battery, new back plate, Active Extended Combo is a lot of money though.
Just received my active combo. Best 9.99 I've spent. It's real!

Hello,
I am so sorry for the delay. I just checked on your order and it looks like there was a discrepancy with our inventory system. We've been experiencing some technical difficulties recently, where items that aren't available were being re-listed. I do apologize and feel terrible about this. I went ahead and cancelled the order for you. I did not want you to wait any longer. The item did not have an estimated date of arrival. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I will be more than happy to help Thanks and have a wonderful day!

that's bull crap, they're still listed as in-stock, except the price has gone up.. sounds to me like they don't want to honor the price. i'd probably leave them negative feedback.

Buy.com is listing it as available at a higher price but that is from a different seller on Buy.com. This seller has not shown it as in stock (at any price) since shortly after the OP.
Edit: that was the case the other day. Now I see that Cellbatt is listing this case as being available... for $43.95.
Anyone else get this. I ordered one and received it already. I guess they had price mistake and it took a while to catch it.

USPS First Class = slow boat.
One item I mailed to Europe this method took six weeks to arrive.
Always pay extra for USPS Express method.

Sounds like USPS lost it. No surprise there. File a dispute with eBay. Don't leave negative feedback as it's not the sellers fault.
eBay will refund your money and not take it from the seller.
I sold something, same thing happened and it got hung up during the holidays. The buyer demanded a replacement and left me negative feedback. I'm still pissed. 10+ years and it's the first negative. People are stupid.
Today I got my case.. I must say that.......I ****ing love it its exactly what normal people want! Full protection from medium hits thin and not that rubber and silicons that you see around stores.

smart dock with 50% off

was anybody able to buy the smart dock with the 50% off deal for registering? Or was it already out of stock when they started giving away that coupon?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
It has been out of stock from Samsung since I bought my Note II Dec. 18.
I paid full price at Verizon.
They've been out of order since November so I think it's fair to think that if people used the coupon that it was a hell of a long time ago and it wouldn't matter anyways.
Sent from galaxy note 2, tablet in my pocket! ^_^
Just wondering if they don't want us using the coupon on the smart dock and once they're all expired they'll be in stock again. I can't complain free cover and tectiles. I'll just have to buy it full price somewhere. I could the 50% on other accessories.

Unfortunately, Frys has been out since shortly after we discussed it in the other thread a while back and they have not been restocked yet.
the new coupons are 50% off $49.99 and below.

after looking at the pictures. something seems kinda shady.... its supposed to be a 3800mAh battery. but i've seen the morphie 2400mAh(not sure of size but its 2000+) and its like twice as thick as that.... so not sure how they can fit 3800 mAh into something that thin..
heres a link to the mophie one just for reference.

not sure if its cause the pictures from that website are just plain terrible or me..
and not to mention the price is a bit sketchy too. BTW the imposed watermark "shenzen" is a chinese city name FYI.....

They could have split the battery, part in the front and part in the rear around the phone. Having said that, it seems more likely that it isn't actually 3800 at that thickness.
This one look very tempting too!

Nah, not really. I ordered from Amazon on Friday for $99, found it in my local Best Buy for the same price, and picked it up locally for around $104. But hey, it's a good case. Unless you need a kickstand, it's probably a better deal than the iBLASON case-- especially after the price drop.
The I-Blason case is a better deal.

Theres a whole other thread here about it. Theres also a few professional reviews I think, www.google.com
I ordered one today, but sadly the discounted one through MobileCityOnline was out of stock so I paid the regular price from Amazon.com, although I didn't get hit with sales tax and will have it tomorrow via Amazon Prime so its a trade off.

Got it. They'll only price match against competitors at time of purchase, but I pointed out that if that were the case then I'd just return it and repurchase, and the rep gave me the discount.
