Case for extended battery?

I know that it wasn't available two months ago. Has there been anything new regarding this? Any cases for the phone with extended battery?

prob not, i know for my old Droid 2 there were hardly any cases that supported the moto extended battery (i think 1 did)
Since i still can't tell if samsung actually has an official extended battery they say that supports the charge, i can't see many manufactures making one.

I have the official Samsung extended battery. But for some reason it's not really marketed a whole lot. Go figure.

Probably because it turns the phone into a brick.

I actually prefer the heft. Thought the stock slim battery is too light and weak. The extended battery is giving me 18-22 hours of moderate usage.

Yea, I must admit i havent seen a case for it anyplace. not even in china. I hear it fits inside a clip. i tried mine. but it seems to JUST fit. and floppy. prob will fall out

Hyperion now has a silicon skin that fits with their 3500mAh extended battery. The description says it should also fit with most other 3500mAh or 3600 mAh extended batteries.

Thanks. I just installed my new Hyperion extended battery yesterday and it is too slippery I dropped it once already. Out of necessity, I cut out a hole on the standard size case. It's doable, but ugly from the back, which I don't care since I only see the front side anyway. Lol.
I'm more interested in how the front facing buttons would operate and feel with the rubbery cover.
TIA

I have a Seido 3300mAh battery + cover for sale

Let me know if anyones interested. I'd sell it for 20+ shipping to wherever

I'd say anything more than $8 shipped is robbery

What i paid and i doubt its much cheaper then that elsewhere so unless you want a crap battery i think its a really solid price

I have the same battery. The cover doesn't stay on. Like ever.

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

Do you still have this for sale? I already have the mugen battery door but I want the seidio 3300 battery

sent you a pm

I just got finish putting up a thread about getting a extended battery. I'm looking for a protective case but haven't found it & i'm hesitant to buy a extended battery if I can't find a protective case.

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.

CONTEST - FREE Trident Case

Hello Doubleshot Family!
I recently purchased the Mugen Power 3600mah battery with battery door. I am currently still breaking in this battery but I have been very impressed with longevity of the battery (I'm on my 3rd day of use on a charge cycle right now)I personally like the extra size as well and decided to use this as my daily driver in a slip case.
That being said, I have a Trident Case in Ballistic Green that will go mostly unused now on my shelf so I've decided to give it away free.
The first person with a shipping address inside the United States who is interested and replies to this post can have this barely used case. I will cover the cost of shipping but you HAVE to have an address inside the US.
Once it's confirmed that you are the first one to respond, go ahead and PM me with your address and I will get this out to you this week.
Good luck!!
Here's a link to the case:

I may be willing to offer up my powermat charging system, bought the trident case so now the custom battery cover won't fit.

Wow. You were all about the trident case, much like I am.
Is the hi-cap mugen battery really that good?

Yeah, I liked the Trident case a lot but honestly, I'm not even done conditioning the Mugen battery yet and I'm getting two solid days of use and then some. (I can take the phone off the charger in morning of one day and can EASILY make it to the following night before going back on charge. I made it to a third night on this last charge before killing it but I was being a little more careful about my useage on the third day.
Plus, I really like the shape of the phone now. Typing feels more natural and so does holding it for calls. The Trident case kind of hindered typing on the top row a tiny bit and sliding it out wasn't as smooth as stock...not really a big deal though.
The only downside is no cases other than a slipcase but I used my G1 in a slipcase with extended battery for two years with no problems so I'm pretty used to it.

I'd look into the peel and stick armor suits, probably the best thing you can do as far as protection goes.
I'd figure that even if it doesn't cover the whole new back cover provided for the hi-cap battery, you should at least be able to cover the majority of it, where you would set it down and stuff to prevent scratches and some general wear. It'll definitely protect what's left of the original casing, on the screen half and anything else though.
Probably have to break-in your leather case first, though, or risk pulling it off going in and out of the case.

Otterbox & Extended Batteries

Hey folks,
I tried searching but could not find the answer. I am about to the buy the otterbox for my lovely G2. I love otterboxes but before I do, anyone know if an extended battery (like this one) would fit with the otterbox on it?
I assume not, based on prior experience the otterbox must be pretty tight but wanted to double check.
Thanks

Pysch. I just read that batteries' description and it seems it does not add any thickness to the battery. Has anyone proven/disproven this?
Also my original question still stands I think as I am still thinking of getting an extended battery. My G2 does last about 10 hours of normal use, but who knows when you might need the extra juice; better safe than sorry I think.

Anything that fits in our existing battery door will work with an Otterbox.
Seidio tends to work OK, though I prefer OEM batteries. HTC makes one for the EVO Design 4G that is 1520mAh and fits inside the G2 perfect as well.

Thanks.
And so is it safe to assume anything does adds even a little bit of bulk does not fit with an otterbox?

If the original battery door closes it should be fine. Any battery that needs its own battery door won't work with the otterbox.

Just want to add that as much as I love the otterbox, I have gone through 3 of them in a year and they are no longer in production so if it breaks you will not be able to get a replacement under warranty

Thanks for the heads up. I have ordered a cheap case from amazon but still desperately want to find an otterbox. Their cases are so amazing, it sucks there are so few out there for the G2. I am a mission now, seems every store online that lists it says its out of stock once you buy and send the money..

I wonder how good the battery life on seido batteries are, currently I'm using a 1520mah oem battery.

I've heard conflicting reports so good luck. I might try on eventually but I'm getting solid life out of stock for now. Finally found an otterbox on eBay and it's coming next week can't wait. .

Dyconn X4 - Best Case !! ??

Has anybody got this bad boy?
http://www.dyconn.com/product/mobil...page=flypage.tpl&product_id=152&category_id=8
And a review by my main man Flossy!
It also has built in Wireless Charging and I'm sure you can use a ZeroLemon 3000mah standard battery to increase it from 5600mah to 6000mah!
Sweet! Just wish it had a back stand too lol

Nice. I might consider it but I really don't have any battery life problems, guess I don't use it enough. Looks like it would support NFC as well given you use your stock battery in it, that would be a plus for me. Unfortunately that isn't stated anywhere I looked.
Anyway thanks for the info. Will strongly consider this if I should find myself in need of a longer life. Course carrying a second battery isn't that big a deal, I do for backup. Fits nicely in my jacket pocket that fit my old feature phone... Don't even notice it.

I would get it but it doesn't come in black.

Just a warning to anybody that gets this, it does not fit with a glass screen protector on (MIME Feather Glass to be exact). Other than that, it's a very nice case.

Seriously, I hope they make it in black eventually.

I almost got one of these, But they don't have the case in black.

I too want a black case to go with my black s4. I'm thinking about getting it anyway.

Just got it.
Seems to work great, no loss to sound quality and have already gotten use to the slightly heavier feel. All and all, I think it works great and have seen little if any depreciation of reception. :good:

hmm...this product looks really interesting...I really hate bulky extended batteries, but this case might be a great compromise.

how much ?
The big problem is 2.4 oz. (70.5g) and *Wireless charging works only with Qi Mode. Qi receiver is optional and sold separatelya a

looks cool..but I agree, I'd need to see it in black to consider it.

Black color - $10 and I'd buy it.

hmm cheapest I've found for this case is $29.00 at http://www.nomorerack.com/daily_deals/view/678723-dyconn_x4_power_3000mah_case_for_samsung_galaxy_s4
never shopped here before so i'm a little iffy

I just ordered from this link thanks. I used PayPal though just in case.

My order still said processing but I already received the case, nice buddy.

For any of you wanting this case, i have had it for about a month and it makes the worst creeking noises from the plastics. When your on the phone and you move the phone around the other person can hear it an cuts in and out.
just wanted to give a heads up

Just got the case today and loving it. Only a few annoyances so far... it does creak a little bit on the sides and the power button is kind of hard to press.
