Anyone who has used an extended battery for our Verizon GS3, what brands are good or what have you had good experiences with? I never messed with an extended battery before. And yes, I do know if they are big it will come with a new back cover for compatibility of the thickness.
I personally haven't used any extended batteries yet, but within the last couple hours a lot of the android news blogs have been posting about genuine samsung brand batteries at 3000mah. Looks like you get an extended case with it that doesn't seem 'that' big.
Still it's 60 bucks though, more than I paid for the phone, haha.
Edit: ugh.. since I'm a new member apparently I can't post links yet, just google: samsung galaxy s3 extended battery
You should see it in the news.
I picked up the Hyperion 4400 of eBay for like 25 and it's amazing. I get around 9 hours screen time the larger back feels much better in my hands. And there customer service is amazing. The back was as little loose so I emailed them and they sent me a brand new back... And battery!
By the way there is a couple really good comparison threads in the accessories section you may want to check out.
If I helped you in some way.... pass on the favor and help the next person!

I picked up the Qcell batteries and a charger for $36 a few months ago on Amazon, now it's just $25 for two batteries and charger..
I've been very pleased with them!
Wife's using the QCell 4200 mAh battery. She loves it. She uses it all day, and has yet to see it go below 60%. And she spends the entire work day in a lower signal area.
Hyperion works great. I got the 4200 with NFC. My cover cracked too and I emailed them and the same day they sent me a new one with no questions asked.

We've had the phones for going on three months now. So about 2.5 months. It's a great battery. Battery cover isn't so hot though. It's the same thickness around the entire cover. So the camera and flash are in these deep holes. Pictures without flash come out ok, but pictures with flash have sort of a pinhole effect where the picture is much brighter around the center, and too dark at the edges. I'm getting her a Seidio back that I've been told will fit. The Seidio back tapers toward the top, so that the camera and flash are not covered at all. I had the same type of back with my old Evo, and it worked perfectly.

I purchased the Anker 4400mAh Extended battery off of Amazon for $20 (it doesn't support NFC though). I have had the phone on for over two days at one point with medium to heavy usage, and it still hasn't reached below 40%. The only downside I didn't consider when purchasing an extended battery was that the cases I had previously bought to cover the phone would not fit of course, so I purchased two additional extended battery cases (which aren't all that great compared to the standard cases). Check out the reviews on that battery, most of them are excellent.
Right now I rock the Seidio Kickstand case and I know they make another case for extended batteries. I've been happy with this cases so I'm a try it out.
Once I get the Seidio back to use on the Qcell battery and verify that it does indeed fit, I am going to pick up the Seidio kickstand case for it. I have the kickstand case that fits the stock battery right now, and it is a great case!

Right on. Seidio does good work. I like the fact that the kick stand cases are soft on the side but hard on the outside. I read the extended battery version is made for the 3,500 mAh battery but my colleague bought the extended back (not the battery, just the back cover + extended case) and he said it fits his other extended batteries that exceeded 4,000 mAh.

This is only one i found on ebay. I was going asking if anyone has tried this yet.
There are 2 types, that I know of.
One like the link above, and one that is full across the back
I got the second type of back, (link) for $12, as I like how it adds protection for the camera lens
I got the battery from here, (link) and it comes with a the first type of back for $18
I don't mind how it thickens the phone, and it actually makes holding when I type on the hw kb a lot more comfortable.
With the 3500mv battery, I was able to have my Epic OC'ed to 1.4GHz, brightness set to 100%, have BT, WiFi, GPS, & 4G on all day, and use the phone normally, and the battery still was over 48% when I got home from work, 10 hours later.
If the price for that is a little extra thickness, I will take that any day. Espically since I can always put the stock battery and back on if I want to use the slim profile for some reason.
Whoops...the link i posted was for a phone cover with the extended battery, not the battery cover. When you buy an extended battery from the same ebay seller he includes the battery cover. This is the case to protect the phone.

The case is ok but right now moretalktime is making a updated version that makes the access to button layouts better. I currently have it but im sending back in and waiting for the updated version since the case blocks some basics features like the speaker and the mic hole.
Can't one use the clip in holster where the face of the phone is facing the holster nd the back of the phone faces outward? A holster similar to the one used with the Seidio Active X cases?

Yes...the hip belt clip case by Eddie Bauer sold at Best Buy works great with the extended battery.
I must admit I am both excited and scared over this purchase. I am excited because if it is 1750mah it will be amazing. But, I have read some poor reviews regarding this battery. So, if it is just like a stock battery it will be a sad waste of $40. Seidio has never let me down in the past so I am hoping it works out. Anyone have stories?
thanks

You'll probably get more feedback there.
Only story I have....u should have bought the 3500. No comparison. The 1750 is barely noticeable. At least for me. My usage required more capacity.
I understand but I just don't want something so bulky. I like the regular look of the phone. I am just crossing my fingers.

The battery is a 15% upgrade over the stock one. So yeah, imagine 15% longer.
Most people are deceived because they lack the scientific testing. Their only test is "it lasts X hours".
That's today, with a different usage than yesterday, with a different network signal quality and so on. It's not so much the battery than the user...
I highly recommend this seidio battery. I am noticing a very nice increase in battery life abd i am very happy with this purchase.

I've got one of the Hyperion batteries. They sell them as a standalone product without the charger. The battery is about what you would expect for the $10 cost. As I expected, it doesn't last quite as long as the included battery, but it makes a good backup battery for when you need a little extra juice. The amazon reviews say that the charger is low quality, so i bought the RND dock off amazon to go with it. I'm new here so I can't post the link yet, sorry.
Thanks that's really helpful. If I may ask what kind of case or screen protector do you like?

According to reviews they get about 3 hours more...they're rated at 2250 mAh. Should be getting them Wednesday so I'll update when they arrive.
I always recommend getting 2 batteries and an external battery charger. I am never without a battery and just have to remember to pop a dead battery in the charger when I get home from work.
Honestly... The best battery for the skyrocket are the factory ones. Not bulging back and the mah is accurate. They are pricey @$35 a pop, but they are the best we can get.

I've got the otterbox commuter series. It's a nice case for what I need it for. Only thing is I have to take it off to use the dock or change batteries. Also best buy included an invisible shield protector on my phone (some BS policy they have). I never would have bought it on my own but it's a decent screen protector if you can get it installed right.

Two batteries from Samsung? Do they sell a two pack with a charger? The reason l looked at the Hyperion was because of its charger. (Digging through the reveiws about charger problems people appear to be breaking off pins)

I have the commuter series case. It doesn't include a screen protector. But from the reviews I've seen of the defender, the speaker and camera holes are unprotected which allows dirt to get under it.

Well, I received these batteries several days early...was scheduled for this coming Wednesday and instead they arrived this past Saturday. Fully charged a battery, and today is my first day using them, but I can say that the percentage is certainly not dropping as quickly as the stock battery. It's actually noticeable.
The battery fits well without a replacement cover, but of course doesn't include NFC capability...
I'm getting an extra 2-3 hours off of those batteries. Definitely worth $30 for 2 batteries and an external charger...

I assume not, based on prior experience the otterbox must be pretty tight but wanted to double check.

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.

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).

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.
