Off topic, but only a little since it's about hardware

[Shlomo Solomon]

Ther are cheaper ones on e-bay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2800mAh-External-Backup-Battery-Charger-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-GT-N7000-i9220-/110787029613?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item19cb6bea6d

I have a similar one marked as 1500 mAh that gives my Galaxy S a 50-60%
charge. So since this is marked 2800 mAh, I'd guess it would give a
full charge. And it's only $11, including shipping to Israel.

The only problem is that it connects directly to the phone and makes it
uncomfortable to use the phone while plugged in. I solved that with a
male-female microUSB extension cable for a bit over a dollar.
