Mercury Fancy Leather Intuition Optimus
I purchased this totally blind and so far am very satisfied with it's performance. This is a new phone, so I don't have much to compare it to. I have not used the NFC to confirm that it works. I will update the review if something needs to be changed. That said,
I purchased this expressly for using my phone as a gps tracking device for day hiking, knowing I'd be out 8-10 hours at a time and may not be in cell tower range. I'm assuming that the phone is constantly polling and even though I had all notifications off, I also assume this is not a very battery efficient setup. During my week away, at the end of the day, I would get back with 35-50% battery left. I used the phone heavily in the evening on wifi and still had plenty of juice left before I recharged for the evening.
For my purposes and at this cost, this is a winner. I have no way of knowing if it has as much "oomph" as the higher priced offerings, but it certainly is a nice alternative.
It is not as bulky as I thought it would be. I certainly didn't get the urge to rip it off as as soon as I returned to "civilization". The new back is serviceable. I'm not a fan of these zipper backs, but that is Samsung's issue.
If the battery came bundled with a charger it would be outstanding.
UPDATE: I have been using this battery for several weeks. I have tried to run it down, I get at about 1 day and 14 hours with 12% left. That includes two hours of streaming podcasts or radio, an hour of workout, email and phone. Some game playing, Temple Run for about 20 minutes as part of the test. I am very pleased with this battery. The one con is the battery back is hard to get off.
Phone:
Google Galaxy Nexus (i9250). I purchased battery and the Trexcell TPU flexible case for extended battery (fits great) and I use this case, as well as a body glove and Cruzer Lite with a Seidio Surface holster. Basically got the holster and two of the three cases for the cost of the Seidio Surface combo together, but I guess that is another review.
I usually end up complaining in reviews. It nice to be able to recommend a good value. Don't let the lack of reviews and the low cost put you off.
I am very happy with this case. It has two slots for credit cards or license and a place to hold a few dollars. It also holds my stylus. The phone is well protected if It were to drop. I added a ring with a clip so when I carry it in my pocket I can clip it to my belt loop. I bought the black on black. Quick delivery. Highly recommend!
BalasHapusI had purchased my LG Intuition phone and was finding the large size a little awkward to handle. After searching for a case on Amazon, I discovered the Mercury Fancy Diary Leather case and decided to try it. It arrived in perfect shape and I really love it. It has made handling the phone so much more comfortable. I love the magnetic snap closure. When I read my Kindle book from my phone, it feels like I'm holding a real book. Although I haven't used the stylus yet, it is a bonus that this case has a holder for it. I am a very satisfied customer!
BalasHapusHard to find a good case for the intuition and this one is perfect and even has a place for ur pen which the phone doesnt have. Must have for a Intuition/Optimus Vu owner.
BalasHapusI love this cover! It looks very sharp, doesn't add too much thickness, and provides exceptional protection for this "phablet". It seemed odd that LG hadn't come out with a pprotective cover for this GREAT phone. I am very pleased with this cover. The company was immediately responsive and the cover arrived 5 days faster than I had expected. Thank you for excellent service.

BalasHapusI thought that it would just be a boring case but turned out to have a lot of compartments to put stuff in . 5 STARS (:
BalasHapusI have been having such a hard time finding a cell phone case for my new LG Intuition phone. This case is WONDERFUL - the phone fits just perfectly and there is a place for the rubberdium pen. I highly recommend this product.
BalasHapusThe case is exactly what I expected. It fits the phone perfectly, including all the various buttons and plugs, and like other reviews said, has ample room for license, credit card, and a small pocket that holds money or notes. The case is sturdy and a fantastic value.
