Has anyone tried this keyboard case?
I've just ordered one !
Koolertron(TM) Aluminum Alloy Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard Case for Samsung Galaxy Tab10.1 P7510 P7500
Looks nice,, will wait for your feedback before ordering one
I found this case on ebay : http colon slash slash three w ebay dot com/itm/New-Aluminum-Case-Bluetooth-Keyboard-Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-10-1-P7510-P7500-/220882228072?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item336d9b5368
It's about $10 cheaper. Sorry but I need more posts in order to post links.

Looks really good. Waiting for your review
I tried this case. Returned it. Poor key quality construction - bad feel and layout. The space bar actually sits lower than the metal case edge, making the space bar practically unusable as your thumb constantly hits the case instead of the bar. Although the design is interesting, the case does not hold the Tab in place when closed. I was excited about this when I first saw it, but it's really not a good case.

I have the keyboard now (It arrived much sooner than anticipated).
I'd like to use it for a while so my opinion about it is well formed.
I had low expectations (due to previous comments posted), but I can say it's much better (construction/quality wise) than previously thought.
I used an Apple wireless keyboard ( till I damaged some keys - too much detergent/water in cleaning it) so that will form the baseline for comparison.
I'll post an update soon.
update:
The typing experience is not good. As previously stated....

That about sums it up... and I agree 100%.
It looks really good and exciting when first seen.
The experience of using it however, is really poor......
The spacebar is simply not accessible due to the way the thumb gets obstructed by the raised edge.
It's as thought no one tested the keyboard after the first prototype was produced.
or they expected it to be used with a few fingers only.... without resting one's palms.
You'll get tired easily with this, even if you manage to adapt to using it.
Anybody seen a Qi wireless charging car mount or a standard active car mount for this phone?

True but I really need a car dock so I ordered it anyway. I'll let you know how it is. It seems that both from Amazon and eBay they all ship from Korea so it will probably be a while.

More expensive alternative: http://www.wpcentral.com/review-nokia-cr-200-wireless-car-charger-part1
I had one like this for my Rezound but it sucked pretty badly. The phone holder part was always detaching from the arm part, especially in hot or cold weather due to the plastic parts that didn't fit snuggly enough in the first place.

I saw that one too but I remember reading about the N4 having issues with the Nokia Qi charger due to them not following the standard or something, so I figured this may have that issue as well.

Owl Charger?
My N5 just shipped, so I pulled the trigger and ordered this one from Owl. They should come around the same time. I've not seen much in English about this company, but enough reviews on Korean sites for me to take a chance. Anyone else ever tried or heard of this company?

Thanks, I found that really large thread on the N4 forums. It seems hit or miss and kinda depending on what you're looking for. I'm hoping that being here in Korea, I'll maybe get some support from the manufacturer :laugh: I'll update or maybe do a review once I get it. Maybe.
My experience with using a wireless charger in the car (one mounted on the windshield) doesn't work to well in the summer time. Would charge fine on the drive to work in the morning before sun rise. Not so on the drive home in the heat of the afternoon.
I'm wondering if ZeroLemon will be making a battery case for the LG G6. I had the 10,000mAh for my Note 3, and love how long the battery lasts me.
They did manufacture battery cases for the G4 and the V20, but not the G5, so I'm worried they might not have a G6 one.
Or if other companies start making them, we can post updates in here as well.
I'm sure they will. They have been pretty active with extended batteries.
I got in touch with ZeroLemon over Facebook. Sadly, they said they don't plan to make a battery case for the G6, citing "technical difficulties".
I just wrote to Powerbear, and am awaiting a response.
Update: Response I got from Powerbear:
"We'll check into adding your requested unit as we continuously work on growing our product line."

Fingers crossed!
It means NO, they won't do it. I'm currently just using Quick Charge 3.0 Powerbank, it charges full in one hour. But i will be looking for extended battery case with a kickstand. I don't like hanging powerbanks.

I'm remaining optimistic that PowerBear can produce one; they did one for the LG G5, whereas ZeroLemon was unable to. If PowerBear makes a battery case for the Galaxy S8 before the G6, that's when I'll lose hope lol. Only time will tell though.
So far, an Anker powerbank is serving me well.
What's the technical difficulties? I wish LG would copy Apple and release their own, they're so superior to power banks I bet they'd sell a ton.
Can they make a "wireless" charging battery case? Seems that would be a big seller.

I'm really enjoying my G6 after years of Samsung- Couldn't bear the curved screen gimmick. The battery life is ok, but I'd really love to have some way to extend the battery- I'm so used to a zerolemon 10000 battery on a note 4, I'm totally spoiled. Even a power case would be fine by me, t'would be nice if the usb c on something like that would have a passthrough, but this is my first "sealed" phone without a removable battery, so I'm clueless what kind of options even could potentially exist for phones like this...
Cheers!

Probably none mate. How many other waterproof phones you know of with a similar external battery as you describe?

I don't think a phone being water-resistant excludes manufacturers from producing extended battery cases. Sure, with removable batteries in previous generation phones, all you had to do to put your battery case was take off the back cover, remove stock battery, and slip extended battery in. But even with today's water-resistant phones where you're unable to disassemble the housing, there are still external battery cases that simply have the battery fitted inside the case itself.
Samsung Galaxy S8 (IP68, same water-resistance as LG G6) has extended battery cases produced by ZeroLemon and Power

https://www.zerolemon.com/product/s...ery-case-soft-tpu-full-edge-protection-black/
iPhone 7 has IP67 water resistance. Multiple manufacturers produce extended battery cases for it.

Just got in touch with Zero Lemon and they said:
HI,
Thank you for the inquiry .
Yes we are working on the case but there is no release date foe the time being .
Once available we will update that details on our website and Facebook account .
Best Regards,
Joey
Yes we have a plan on it. They said this a week ago on facebook

I'm curious, why does ZeroLemon not make those glorious hard plastic skeletons anymore? The G3 model is spectacular! I'm using it as we speak! I'm sorely disappointed with the lazy G4 and V10 slip-on cases. My G3 is a tank! I never flinch when I drop the phone.
I sure an impressed with their G6 solution. I'll be considering this phone now, rather than only arriving to the V20. But still, they withdraw the superb skeletal design. Can someone please explain to me why?
I think there's another thread about this but yes it's available. Just ordered my last week. Hopefully will get it early this week.

WARNING this battery was produced a while ago, even if you get an new one, it's old because it was lying around a long time now (decreased capacity, phone turns off while still at about 20-40%) ---- And, the battery I described im this post was a fake one. Later I purchased a original one, but it had the same life in it like my old nexus 5 battery
I'm gonna open a new thread soon with an updated guide, and a new battery by another phone
There it is! https://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/accessories/nexus-5x-battery-bl-t19-2700mah-battery-t3739848

below is the old guide, you have been warned, I really don't recommend it anymore
I bought a new Lg g2 battery from Amazon because my sot was really short. You guys know the problem with those too fat batterys, so I ordered one that seemed to be flat.
I got a thick one seen here http://tanstartrade.ca/images/LG%20BL-T7.jpg
Okay, I thought, well then i don't have wireless charging ans NFC
But when i removed the layer on the battery, this is what i found: http://imgur.com/a/XJyJm
Cool I thought, that's just a piece of plastic that can be removed. My battery is now flat as it should be and you can do the same, if you still rock a Nexus 5, love this phone so much!
awsm man...can u tell me the procedure for this mod..nd the link for battery...

There are a lot of tutorials And i think you can buy every battery you want, search on Amazon. I just found out that every battery is flat.
Sorry, but I am confused... It seems two different mods exists: 1. LG G2 FLAT battery, no hacks needed. 2. LG G2 standard battery, hacks needed.
Could anyone please cast light on the 1. mod? I mean, where to purchase this kind of battery and so on.

That was my problem, i think the flat ones are fake. The thick ones have this plastic shield in in, by whatever reason. I managed to buy a flat one and it didn't work, the battery had very bad voltage, my phone turned off at 60%
The thick one is genuine i think. You just have to remove the sticker and plastic.
Thanks for the info @234herobrine432 . So you think that if I buy this battery I will only have to peel the "bump" and the sticker and it *should* fit in my Nexus 5?

Yes! I think, technically it's not even possible to build a battery with that weird increase. And the "not fake" batteries fit better in the nexus 5 than the flat one I bought. You don't even have to dremel something.
did you test dat? those are awesome news brother, does taht actually work? do you managed to remove that plastic?
do it for science please
I bought it

I bought the battery today. So, in a month more or less I could provide some news about it. I feel confident cutting and soldering battery connectors but I don't plan to use a dremel on my loved nexus 5 Hopefully this battery plus some kernel optimizations would improve substantially battery life. Going from 2.300 to 3.000mAh should suppose +30% increase!!!

What is showed about battery capacity when used apps like accubattery or similar @234herobrine432 ?
I've just bought one, hopefully it will be a good replacement for my old nexus original one!

How did you fit the larger G2 battery without using a dremel on the N5 frame ?
The battery I've got is actually unusable on a Nexus 5, it's large the same, it's thicker but you can actually make it flat, but it's anyway longer so it won't fit the phone without hardware workarounds!!
You can folt the battery, so it will fit, but make sure you don't tear the thin foil (like me)
Yes i ****ed my battery up, it still works bc i used tape but it's not the best solution
I bought another battery on amazon for 13€
it will arrive maybe tomorrow (or later)
I will take pictures how i fold it and fit it into my device
If somebody wants to know: i had 4 hours of sot with heavy usage with the new battery, now it dropped to 2 because of the damage yeah liion doesn't like O²
Screenshots of the battery please !!
I just checked my "thick" one (bought by mistake before getting flat one), definitely not a plastic piece for my bump.
First off, it was super hard to get under the wrap, found out it was because mine didnt have an "extra" piece on top of the foil wrap for the battery, I had to open the foil itself to see the bump.
An exacto knife and, ofc, one spark later, I found the bump is actually layers of copper connected to the control board...
I feel yours was basically a flat battery with the plastic in to make it look like the non-flat ones.
Battery has a plastic easy to remove, as the post claimed. See the pictures at
http://imgur.com/a/DnTB8
Detaching external plastic the battery seems to be enough thin for the Nexus 5 case.
It had just arrived yesterday. I will try to do my best and talk about the length of the battery, my only concern right now.
I will keep posting.
Long life XDA!
People, please post pictures of your modding procedures !
Thanks !
Any updates on this mod, photos and measurements? id like to see how well the battery you had posted about works.
Sorry guys for my late answer!
I have to apologize, the battery I ordered was fake, at least I now think that. My new battery is a real Oem one, so, it's thick and theres no way to remove this thickness
So I lost wireless charging and Nfc, and my phone is close to flat at the back (still a bit round) but I didn't have to grind anything, the battery board sits on the side, not on the top or botton, gonna upload some photos later here.
My Sot increased a lot, i now get 5h easy with a lot of usage (pdf file editing) bc i'm using it in University.
and the sot gets better and better because of callibration
(resettimg the battery stats file isn't all, obviously that's only a log file)
so yeah, when you don't need wireless charging, buy a battery for our lovely nexus 5, this phone is awesome!
Has anyone tried this TGSP? Is it any good?
I have one on the way... I'll post after I put it on.

I did really like the original Pure Arc but like most it was edge adhesive and started popping off after a couple weeks. They sent a link for about $30 off of the Pure Arc ES since I had purchased the original Pure Arc previously and I figured at that price I might as well just try it.
Just applied it this morning... it's actually really good. The directions need to be followed pretty much exactly as written and there can't really be any dust specks at all on the screen but I think it's a keeper. The gel adhesive is pretty forgiving if you need to lift an edge to help get air out or lift off completely to remove dust. I would recommend it for sure but be careful with the install. My S8+ is not my daily use phone so I won't have much to report as far as how it holds up with use but it looks like it should. I am definitely buying it for my Note 8 when it is available later this month.
