If you just scored yourself a shiny new Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and would like to make sure you have enough juice to power you through your daily adventures, the Power Jacket from Brando should have you and the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 covered. It is available in black or white and features a slide in design that allows access to all ports while providing a 3800mAh battery that can be charged with an included micro USB cable. It also has a kickstand on the back that can be used to prop up the phablet for easy viewing. The Power Jacket is available now for $34.00

Nice, although I still have a NOTE 2 (woe is me) I’ve been very happy with the battery built in. I use the HELL out of my phone, and I get a solid 1.5 days of heavy use out of it.
Wow.That much battery for $35!
Is that on top of the 3200 mah battery it comes with or does this jacket replace the original battery?
@Hank it’s additional juice that does not replace the original battery.
OK , Thank you Julie.
When I read the name of this item the first thing that came to mind was “It’s got electrolytes”
Just bought it after reading this review. Thanks
it does not have access to S-Pen
Just got this one today. The design is really nice. The kickstand is little flimsy though. Shipping is tolerable. I waited about 2 weeks.
Need official answer: Does the Brando Power jacket charge both itself and the Note 3 at the same time the way a Mophie works with an Iphone? IE, can I plug in one thing at night and have both the phone and the extra battery charging? Thanks,
Tom
Yeah tom i wanne know that also before i buy this thing
@Tom – this is what it’s written on the Brando website https://shop.brando.com/Power-Jacket-For-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-3-3800mAh_p09999c1599d003.html
* Please Charge the Battery Case and Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Separately. (Do Not Charge the Battery Case and Samsung Galaxy Note 3 At the Same Time)
So, I guess, you cannot do that… pity…
