The battery case worked for about three months. The phone charged fine during that time and it was great to hit a button on the back and fully recharge my phone without plugging in, but as a case it was horrible. It is hard plastic and slipped out of my fingers periodically. When that happened the case usually came apart and the phone came loose. I think there was too much movement on the connector; it stopped charging, so I went back to my Otterbox.
Since I am often told that I absolutely need to use the original Samsung cable, even though it died two years ago, I went to the Verizon store, and declined to pay $29 for a five foot cable with a logo. Dollar General sold a four-foot Duracell cable for $7, but unfortunately, my phone did not like it. I bought it and started driving to Show Low. My phone chirped more and more as I drove, and the cable slipped out of the phone while I was sleeping. I exchanged it the next day and the replacement stays in just fine, but I have still had difficulty charging.
I would take my phone to a repairman if there were one in Page or Show Low. I bought a refurbished phone like mine to use so I could repair my original, but the order never said they were mailing it. Everything I have ordered from Amazon has been shipped by UPS to my house, but if they use USPS I need to give them my P.O. box number.
When I saw it was coming through the post office I contacted the seller, but they said they could not change orders, so they will refund my money.
Fortunately, I was able to find original Samsung cables for $16.43 on Amazon.
We will see if those do any better.
