I installed this battery case, and now when Skynet becomes self aware, it will launch from this device for unlimited power. Forget about blacking out the sun, the machines will just run the Matrix on this battery case. My phone literally refuses to die now. The instructions say to allow the battery to drain completely for the first 5-6 cycles, but that's actually the hardest part - takes over 4 days to die, even with me doing everything I want to on the phone. The first charge cycle, I didn't know what to expect and honestly wasn't impressed at first because my battery seemed to drain pretty quickly - I was at 30% much faster than I expected. What I didn't expect is that the phone will last for several days at 30%, probably because the battery meter on the phone is still calibrated to stock. It got down to 5% after 3 days, and I figured "cool, time to charge". But then I remembered I'm supposed to let it die, so I installed a battery draining app hoping to kill it off quickly. This is a mistake, because the phone will last for an entire day even at 1%. Understand me: I *tried* to kill my phone. Benchmarking software, 3D gaming, maximum brightness, every radio on and cooking, vibration, flashlight... for HOURS... at "critical battery" levels. I found myself screaming obscenities at my phone to kick off already so I could plug it in. As it stands, I can do everything my heart desires on my phone and the battery will still last for four days and change. It's been almost three weeks and I've charged it three times, total. Draining this battery 6 times is actually going to be a month and a half challenge. Tips: 1) Buy this battery case. You won't regret it. 2) When you get it, there are no instructions. Do not peel the white stickers off of the battery. This is unclear because it looks like packaging, with requests from the company to rate the product 5 stars written all over it. 3) The case feels like one piece, but is really 2 pieces. Undo the flap at the bottom and pull back and you can see the separation in order to pull out the hard plastic cage. You need to peel back the soft outer shell from the hard inner cage to install the phone, but it's not clear from the instructions. 4) Leave it plugged in and charging for a full 12 hours. You can expect this charge to last you 4 days or so. 5) Don't panic and plug in your phone when it looks like low battery. Like I said, even on critical battery alerts the phone will run for a day or more. 6) The size you will have to get used to, but honestly it's not all that big. I personally like it, it feels solid and the buttons are much easier to press. It's so thick you can stand it up on its side - literally its own stand. I consider this case to be the way the note 4 would have shipped out, had it been engineered in the 90's or one of the early Nokia beasts. 7) I haven't dropped the phone, but this case honestly doesn't seem like it would mind. Hold it in your hand and you'll see what I mean
