Anyone had any luck in finding a case to fit this beast? Preferably one that you don't need to remove to access the phone. Cheers.
This one maybe help:

Hey, thanks, but I meant a case for the phone with the extended battery attached.
Search for mugen batteries. They make outstanding batteries fire the i9000 and I own the 3200mha bat that comes with a case for it . Phone looks stupidly fat but at 2.3-2.5 times the battery life who cares. I also bought a 1600mha battery strom them typo replace the garbage samsung ships with and man battery life is way way better.

At the moment, i have the pdair aluminium case, which is awesome, although will be useless with the new battery in place. Will probably have to saw a hole in the back of that case or another.
I got a cheap sheep skin case from ebay 3 months ago which had a glued on back hard plastic back cover to snap the SGS into it (its a right to left fold out case with magnet to keep front on) What I did was ripped the slim plastic holder out and hot glued the big new battery cover in its place. Sure its a little tight but it does the job as I simply cannot find a case to fit my 3500mah battery into

Just picked this up. I have the Hyperion battery, but this case still works fine since both have the same battery and back door.
The case is great. $7 and it's the nice smooth tpu, not that cheap honeycomb crap fake of a tpu case that Hyperion makes.
This is nice to hear. I have a Hyperion 4200 mah battery on the way and this exact Qcell TPU case, so hopefully I have the same experience with it.
I got the white back cover with the hyperion (didn't realize they had black ones at the time) and the black TPU case, so I may just paint the hyperion back cover black if the color difference bothers me that much lol.

If you have the case on the phone you won't see it. Lol. No need to paint. I have a blue back on my Hyperion.
Chiming in. It's a bit expensive but the Seidio surface extended battery cover and case will work with the normal extended holster if you opted for one of those at the time of purchase(go by the name of pt or platinum as well).
Best combo, but expensive and fits the 4500mah battery

I have a QCell extended battery, but I don't use it. The battery cover interferes with the camera flash. I think it's because the flash and camera lens are surrounded by the back, and peek out of holes in the cover. It's something I've noticed on both mine and my wife's phones.
That seidio case looks like it wouldn't have that problem, because the camera and flash are not surrounded by case. Do you happen to know if it would work with the QCell 4200mAh battery? Also, I can see where to order the case on Amazon, but I don't seem to see the battery cover. Where can I get that (assuming it would work with the QCell battery, of course)?

The Seidio battery door + case will work with the 4200 mah batteries from QCell, Hyperion (and Anker i think?). The reason why its superior is because the battery door and the case taper out/bulge out slightly where the battery is. The top and bottom are absolutely flat similiar to stock. So with the flat upper area its essentially the same stock Camera and Flash visibility with the ability to hold the extended battery.
I actually did a review on this under the AT&T section with pictures and information on how to order the battery door separately without a bulk battery purchase.

Thanks. I'm going to get the battery cover and the case with the kickstand (miss my Evo kickstand). I contacted Seidio and asked about the battery door, and they said that I could order one from them for 14.95 plus S&H. The case is on Amazon. Early Christmas present!
I had a Seidio extended battery and case for my Evo, and I loved it. Great products! Expensive, but great!

To order just the battery back cover/panel you need to call Seidio Customer service (phone number is on their website).
When you speak to a representative, advise them that you are interested in purchasing battery door for the Galaxy S3: (Product Code below).
Product Code: BVY35SSGS3-BK
Does such a battery exist? I have been looking through several reviews of batteries and I don't see any that keep the water resistance. Not sure if this is a deal breaker for me or not.
Also in the past I have liked the Seidio set up since it seemed to be the only/best option for a protective case that fit an extended battery. It doesn't look like they have one for the S5 yet. anyone know if they are planning on introducing one?

Another option for a case to fit an extended battery is a TPU case for the Hyperion 6500 mAh battery. No water resistance however.
I was disappointed with the battery life from the standard battery - much worse than my Note 2.
So I bought the Anker double size battery. It seems to do the job OK and the replacement back fits well. But I would like to have a folding case.
Has anyone bought or seen a case that will fit?

i'm looking at that battery right now and the zero lemon 10k and the mugen. the one thing tipping me towards the ZL is the case they provide with theirs
Yes I looked at the ZL and its case. I had two concerns about that.
One that it was just a bit too thick and heavy for my use, and the other is that being wider than the original battery it covers up the phone and GPS antennas. I'd need to be convinced that it didn't affect their performance.
The 6440 batteries are no wider than the original, just thicker so they can't affect the antennas.
I have the Manna case for my Note 2. I bought one the same style for the Note 4 but of course it won't fit with the thicker battery. I would like something similar that will fit with the Anker.
Dear all,
I bought a 7500mAh Extended Battery+Back Cover and of course my old case doesn't fit anymore. Does anyone have any advice on which case would work? the phone is already much bigger now, so if possible, I would like something strong but not too bulky.
Edit: I forgot to mention, that I live in the UK.
Thank you!
There's not much on the market market. I didn't find any at all that were water resistant.
Currently using an Anker 7500 with included case. Kinda plain but works. $30 on amazon.
I've used the Uno case... It has built in battery + you put the stock battery in, they acts as one. When I bought it I thought it was 2 removable batteries, but it is not. Also, the coating on the case rubbed off where I hold it... it's a dull black there instead of a fuzzy black, not real noticeable, but not the quality product I was looking for.
The best selection is here http://zerolemon.com/product-category/samsung/galaxy-s5/
The one I always wanted is the Mugen 5600, it has color cases, qi, but only 2x battery.
