[Q] Where can i go to get an extended battery and case in person? - T-Mobile LG G2x

I'm still concerned with how the phone will look so I'm not about to order through mail. Where can I go in person to buy an extended battery and cover. I live in NY and called a lot of T-Mobile stores and they said they do not sell extended batteries. And I'm assuming my nice shiny black rubber case will not fit anymore. Do they sell cases as well to fit the extended battery cover. I meant to say battery cover instead of case in the title but could not edit.

Every listing on both Amazon and Ebay contains photographs, so I'm really not sure what else you want. And it would astound me to find a brick and mortar that sells extended batteries for this phone.

I saw them only on Amazon and eBay. I have not seen them locally in my area. Go look at some of the post about extended batteries to see the size.
Later I post pictures of both.

I used to drive right by Sedio twice a week. They said they did not have a storefront, so I could not just come in and look at stuff.

You need to fly to China or Hong Kong to see them in person before you buy.

the phone is not that bad with the extended battery and as far as I can tell there is not a hard shell case I haven't seen one I am hoping someone makes one soon but I doubt it.

Amazon is safe. I have a stock size 1987mah battery and a 3500mah battery with the large rear cover. The quality of fit and finish is surprisingly good on the big back. I generally run my big 'stock ' battery but, it is nothing compared to the 3500mah

I too was concerned about buying a case that may not look good. Personally I went on YouTube and searched G2x trident case, which was the case I was looking at, and they had great hands on reviews for it.
Regarding an extended battery, I most likely would check amazon and read some reviews on some.

Jeez! On eBay the battery and new back cover start at around $7.49 with free shipping. For that price just buy it and if you don't like the way it looks, toss it.

Right?

I just bought a 3500 with back cover from Ebay for $8.00 USD

Not trying to start anything but that is just as "crappy" as batteries you mention.
Seidio is known for their overpricing, you do NOT get $74 of battery when you buy that, not even $60. For ~$20 I'd just go for the OEM 1800mAh slim battery from the Epic Touch....just kidding I'd get two extendeds for $19 shipped *NEW*
I actually just took out my seido for the first time in a long time. I'm so tired of the back coming off. Plus everyone looks at my phone like it's a mutant with that back piece. Feels so much thinner

i would do it you dont really need a protective case just get a screen cover and a battery with a new back plate i like the 3500mah the back plate i got with it is perfect a little bigger but so worth it you can get the cheap on ebay just look for good feed back. Mine works like a champ and if any thing happens i just use my old battery and back plate.
sucks that the cover wont stay on. I need something to extend my battery.

Gavin, FYI, since you posted in the other thread, people with <10 posts cannot access the development area and cannot see your other thread.
I can only guess that you are offering batteries, case etc and have no idea if it's a better deal than just buying similar stuff on eBay with free postage.
Happy to look once I get 10+ posts, but cannot until then.

I'm not handy with tools, and I purchased it on amazon. They are sending me a replacement so let's see what happens. As far as holsters go... ehh negative lol. I wish otterbox would release a commuter to fit it because I'm keeping this phone for a while.

I got the Motorola extended battery from at&t and just cut my otterbox defender with a dremel and it fits perfectly.

S-view cover is actually worth getting

All the reviews I see of the S-view say it is bad, when actually they are reviewing it before it has had a chance to be broken in. When broken in it closes completely, and it doesn't leave marks on the screen when you use a screen protector. I would recommend getting a cheap knock of and see if you like the feel before getting the real one.

I have many app ideas, but don't have the skill or the time to learn how to make an app. if you would like to know an idea and attempt to make one, just message me.
I just grabbed an official one for $36 on ebay that ships from the United States.
I'm pretty excited for it and will not post a review until I let it settle in. I also plan on using it only for when I work or travel. When I'm at home, I'll replace it back to the stock cover.

It says it's an aftermarket product, meaning knock off, and it's $36. Too pricey. Amazon currently has it for under $50, I'd pay the extra for the real one

The $35 one is fake. The number 4 is wrong they used roman numerals, the real uses just 4.

I checked it out and fitted the white one today at bestbuy, but just couldn't justify spending $40+tax (after pricematch and $10 credit) on a plastic case, maybe if it was leather. I take pics of my toddler a lot, so this case is just not right for me.

I picked up an S-View case when I bought my S4. I do like how it helps to steady the phone when taking pictures or watching my Slingplayer. I use it as a sort of mono pod in my hands. It does remove finger prints on the glass with tge felt lined inside.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
I really like the s view option, but I'm not thrilled with any of the cases out there yet. I would like one that properly protects the corners of the phone, and that stay closed if the phone is dropped. So far none of them have those features. I have an s view case (the tridea brand, from amazon) that I'll use until something better comes along.

Does it block camera function when flipped all the way over?

No, it doesn't. The s view window is over the camera when flipped all of the way over. However, the window can pick up fingerprints, so that's something to be aware of when taking pictures. This hasn't been a problem for me so far, but I've seen posts by others who are concerned about it.
the s cover .. i have one.. its really uhh.. useless? i mean having that screen does nothing.. if you want to see something you still need to pick up your phone and unlock it..

shoot em an email bro; last i heard when i mailed them was mid may.
keep us updated.
They said within a couple of weeks. They said that 4 days ago, also they said they are going to release a rugged case version in June. He said to check their amazon store.
Yes, I've received reply from Zerolemon as well. Was told it should by out by the end of may.
But wasn't told about another version of case.
Would be nice to see a sample of rugged case before buying the silicone one.

Before I made the purchase to the S4, I had the S3 with the extended battery. Therefore, I took the opportunity to test it out at the T-Mo Store with their Demo Version. Althouth the S3 extended battery is smaller than the the S4 battery area, it fit nonetheless.
Best part, it booted without any problems.
Charging no problem.
(haven't tested the NFC)
Plus, the extended battery case fit snugly as well (except that it covers the flash and speaker area but not the camera).

Okay gents thread cleaned. Please lower the noise level.

Noice! I've always strayed away from extended batteries because it makes the phone look pregnant, but the way they do their casing is really slick. And something about 12 hours on screen time just sounds fabulous!
The case covers the light source and the speakers, also covers the headphone adapter.
Basically, my intention is not meant to customize the case to fit the S4. I was making a point for those that already have the S3 extended battery, that it won't be a complete loss when switching to the S4.
I am still going to wait for the S4 extended battery to come out but for the mean time, this beast of an S4 needs the juice.

I agree with you , somewhat...
Before GS4, I had GS2, whith extended battery as well
But from what I read so far, Zerolemon makes a better one, plus the case it makes it trully priceless, since no one makes TPU cases for extended batteries
This phone has pretty good power management system, but as soon as you start using it and the screen is on, especially outdoors, when you need more light to see it in sunlight, you litterally see 1% of power going down almost every couple of minutes
So to make whole story short and really use the full phone with all of it features, you need lots of power for busy full day of use.
I really don't understand people who post pics, how long they phone can work on stock battery. come one wake up people, major battery is used by screen, not by you having it in your pocket.
