In the photo of the cover is folded up; folded down, there is a small, flat and featherweight device, carried by its dimensions roughly like an iPhone 4. Delivery in cardboard envelope in the mail.
The Galaxy Note is both upright and well kept cross. It can load in the transverse position with its own charging cable (another is not among them!); edgewise not about that, but not simultaneously with the spare battery, unless you have two charging cable at hand.
The spare battery is reliably charged. A red and green LED indicates the charging status. If it is green, the battery is full. Prima, which had not the other device.
As I said, an original by Samsung, what one notices on processing and function. I am very pleased and would each Galaxy-Note-owner who used a spare battery is recommended. Even as a simple smartphone holder for the desk that part is great.
