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

Anyone have this case to know if it will fit with another battery? $70 for 4500 mah is a bit much to me. Don't get me wrong, Seidio is a great company IMO, but I don't make enough to merit 70$ haha.
So I was thinking the Hyperion 5200 mah battery would be great...but I hate TPU cases. So...if it could fit with the Active Extended...that would be the perfect setup for my S4.
Anyone have experience with it?
Thanks
That case just went to "Now shipping" status today (I've been watching it; last night it was "coming soon"), so I doubt anyone has it yet. It too occurred to me that the Hyperion/Onite/Anker batteries may fit, but since I've found Seidio to be such great quality and likely true to it's rating, I sprung for their battery. Having said that the others probably would fit, especially if you removed the back cover.

Well, I agree the brand is good. But 4500 just seems a bit low for 70 bucks
The thing with Seidio Extended is that they only make the case for the their extended battery cover. . So although some cases may look similar it may not fit the Seidio Extended Case. Just something to think about.

You can call Seidio and order the battery door for their extended batteries for around $14.95. I have an S3 with a Hyperion battery and the Seidio Active Extended Case. I'm trying to check the dimensions of the Hyperion S4 battery, but have read that the Anker one is the same size as the Innocell that Seidio sells for that ridiculous price.
Saw it on amazon. They said it would only work with their extended battery setup. It also appears the button areas are covered so that would make me think the case is stronger on the lip area near those buttons. I'm so curious to find out if it would fit on a Hyperion extended battery setup. Anyone try this already? I'm aware of the Hyperion tpu case and I don't like it one bit. It's too thin and the case is cut out for the buttons and weak in that area. A month or so ago, that honeycomb case was the only one out there for extended batteries.
UPDATE
It does fit the Hyperion extended life battery and door. It was a tight fit. I had to put the bottom in first then work the lip of the case over the edge of the screen all the way around. I've seen better quality tpu cases but this one does the job. It looks like you could take an exacto knife on the edges where they combined the top and bottom half. There's a little extra material there but no big deal. The volume and power buttons are not cut out so that will make the case lip area stronger in those spots. I didn't test the feel of the buttons with the case on. I just put the door on and case to see if it fits. For eight bucks, I guess there's not a whole lots to complain about. The case is gloss around the edges but matte on the flat back part. This is the most snug tpu case I've owned. It's not hard to put on, it's just snug and suggested you insert the bottom first. If you have a screen protector that is film, and not glass, and not perfectly centered, it might peel up the edges of it. I will post pictures from my other phone in a few minutes in case you're curious.
UPDATE 2:
Just tried getting the case on the phone with the battery installed too. It kinda fit but the lips of the case wouldn't completely catch over the edge of the screen. It would probably stay on but not perfectly. The Yesoo back cover, for their extended battery, must be a hair smaller than the Hyperion.

i read the review on the gs3 yesoo extended case. and according to that...its another flimsy tpu. I would assume the s4 case is the same.
seidio released their new extended case on their site. But you have to buy their set up. Case and back door..which would set you back $55 total.
I wouldnt mind paying that..But i had a seidio extended case for the s3...and the rubber was so flimsy around the edges. And loooking at the s4 case on their site...it seems to be another flimsy set up.
That being said. The seidio is the best protection u can get at this moment for the extended battery at this moment and time. and thats not saying much.
Seidio extended batteries with my past phones, the back battery for was very thin and flimsy and never fit perfectly. There were always gaps and would never snap completely shut.
Today I said to hell with it and ordered one to see if it fits. It should be here in the beginning of next week. The shipping damned near cost as much as the case. I hope it's good and fits. I'll report back when I finally get it.
I just received my Seidio extended battery today and I got the extended Active case and holster and it's great. It's probably the slickest setup you're going to get as far as extendeds go; a little pricey but worth it.

Hi, I'm using Anker 5200 battery for my S4, which is great. However i dont like that my phone is unprotected on the screen. Is there any extended cases for a 5200 mah battery that you can suggest?

Seido just released their Active extended case that is built for their 4500 mah battery. There is a good possibility that it might fit. Would be interesting to see. I'm currently using my 2 zerolemon 3000 mah batteries with my qi wireless charging receiver and random cases and it works great together. I can usually go 10-18 hrs depending on use during the day at work. My wifi, bluetooth and gps run all day, everyday.
It looks a little bit bulky, and yes i know the extended battery is big too, but i bought a slim case for S3 for my extended battery and that was really slim
I have also seen some on ebay, but the quality of them are always very low ( have tried them)

I have seen a 4200mAh external battery case, not tested though.

Have you taken a look at Incipio's offGRID case?
I'm not sure how well it will protect the front of your screen but it definitely looks pretty slim and has a front attachment that may act like a bumper (I'll post more once I get my review unit in).

Yes, I am also looking for a protective case to fit the various 5200 mah batteries that are available.
The Incipio's offGRID case is a case that contains an auxiliary battery but not meant to fit over an extended in phone battery.
The Seido Active extended case is very bulky and may interfere with auto dashboard mounts and the Wilson Sleek amplifier.
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?
Bob
Another option for a case to fit an extended battery is a TPU case for the Hyperion 6500 mAh battery. No water resistance however.
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.
