Anker 5200mah otter box defender mod

Has anyone considered doing the case mod for the anker 5200mah extended battery yet? I am on Verizon unfortunately so I still have another week to wait to receive my s4 but I currently have the note 2 and I use an otter box defender that I used a dremel tool to cut a hole in the back of the stock battery cover and the back of the hard shell of the otterbox so that the larger anker 6200mah will fit and you barely notice the silicone outer case having a slight bulge. I think it will work with this one too but was just curious as to whether anyone has tried it or is planning to do so like I am.

It may rather huge, am I right?

No more so than just using the defender case by itself. It's not really thicker just a little heavier which makes it feel sturdier to me lol

Any pics?
Whats your opinion on the Anker battery packs? I am considering getting the Anker® Astro3 as it is extremely versatile and 10,000 mah great for ER's

I'll post pics ASAP. I have gotten really good performance from anker batteries. From what I have read about people comparing the extended batteries, the mugen batteries barely outperform the ones from anker and for the price they are incredible. The mugen battery at the same mah was like 140 or so where as the anker was 20 bucks with shipping from amazon. I easily get 2± full days of moderate usage from my note 2 with This 6200mah battery. I know the one for the s4 is smaller but should still perform well.

[Q] Galaxy S4 extended battery

Hello, I have a Galaxy S4 and was thinking of buying an extended battery. I use my phone a lot and it normally doesn't last all the way through the day for me. I also go on trips a lot where an extended battery would really help. I'm thinking of buying either a Hyperion or a Zerolemon 7500mah battery, although a 5200mah one isn't out of the question. I heard that the very big batteries cover the antennae and speaker, and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this. What kind of battery should I get? Any help is appreciated.

I went with the Hyperion extended battery on Amazon and I bought the black TPU case. The phone still fits in my belt cases too. Some of my belt cases allow me to fit the phone with the Hyperion TPU case on as well. My speaker and antenna are good as well. I didn't GI with the ZeroLemon because I thought it was just a little bit too big and I wouldn't have been able to fit it in my leather belt cases (black and brown) that I use 80% of the time.

I use the trident electra Case that has a built in 2600mah battery to add to your standard battery when you need it. Gives you effectively 5200mah with a nice case as well.

Hi,
I have the Hyperion 5200 with the Seido extended case.
I think it's the perfect setup. Great battery life(normal 2 1/2 days use).
The Seido case is also nice, with kickstand. Not too heavy.

Good case to use with extended batteries?

I was looking at buying a Urban Armor Gear case for my newly purchased Galaxy S4 but started looking at extended batteries such as the ZeroLemon 3000 or Hyperion 5200.
Are there any good cases for the S4, such as the UAG case, but one that is made to accommodate extended batteries?

The 3000mah zerolemon is a stock size battery so any case would work with it.
Zerolemon makes a rugged case that can fit extended batteries, that's the only case I've ever seen specifically for extended batteries that is sold separately.
Alternatively, you can mod the Otterbox Defender with a dremel to accommodate an extended battery. I've done it twice and can post pics if you would like.

Hi,
I've been using the Seido Extended case for both my old S3 and now my S4
and totally love it. I have the 5200 Hyperion battery.

Is that the Seido case with the metal kick stand?

I've just been using the cheap black honeycomb design tpu from eBay. Works well enough for me and it's thin.

Seidio makes real nice cases. I've had about a dozen of them over the yrs for different phones. They're customer service is good too if you ever have a problem.

Is the 3000mAh really good? Anybody here who owns it? I might pick up one if it can really extend my batt life by a couple of hours.

I noticed very little difference between the stock battery and the Zerolemon 3000.

I have noticed about a half hours screen on worth of difference between the zl 3k and the stock battery. It was enough to go from dying about 11 at night and being able to make it a while day with putting it on the charger at about midnight with about 5 or so percent left. I would gladly pay the ten dollars for it again. It is slightly larger than the oem batteries though.

Thanks for the response guys. I'll stick with my original battery for now..

Galaxy S4 Extended Battery
There are limited extended battery cases for sale currently. I've been researching the Laza Galaxy S4 case. They are quite expensive but cheaper on ebay. I have the Hyperion 7500mAh extended battery that I got on eBay for $30. There are dealers that sell the Laza extended battery with the Laza case that looks really fricken cool. I've been debating on getting the phone case alone since I already have the battery. The price is what gets me and there are little choices for colors. Some people have the rainbow list of colors but I want black on black. Just an FYI, my Hyperion Battery gives me a literal 24 hours charge on max settings ie screen brightness maxed, multiple applications running, playing with games or listening to music. I absolutely love the Hyperion 7500mAh battery. Just found this thread from years ago but noone answers the question of an extended battery would fit into a Urban Armor Gear case.

Caseology battery

Are caseology batteries any good? I saw a 2 pack plus a charger for sell at Amazon. I was gonna get the Samsung spare battery with charger.

Keep in mind these are non-nfc batteries, so if that's important to you, stay away from this.

any extended battery with nice-looking case?

Can someone recommend me an extended battery for S5 with nice-looking case? Thank you

Samsung sold extended battery's in Europe but not US. Got one from a german ebay seller for my verizon phone and gives about 20% longer battery. Battery is bigger so some TPU cases might work...but a nice aluminum bumper certainly will.

Bought samsung extended battery EB-EG900 from seller rb-sale-s on EBay from Germany. 38$ shipped about. good deal looks legit to me. Get a slim bumper from ebay seller cyfentech and your good to go. By the way red looks awesome, silver classy too.

Thought phone was so light before battery now seems a lot heavier. But bigger battery is nice.

Would you prefer looking like the original?

Thanks for helping me. I decided the mpj 5600 mah battery and will review it later.

I bought the anker 7500 its a wicked case and battery so far .but I really wish I went with the unu.the unu you can swap batterys and its half the weight of the anker and only 15mm thick it will be my next one .I think they are on sale now

I like the ZeroLemon cases, they look pretty close to Spigen Tougharmor. No idea if they protect as well though.
