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.

I'm excited. This means enough battery for long flights/ trips!
should change title to 'Official, Seidio extended battery UNDER DEVELOPMENT' almost go my wallet out to purchase it! haha
I wonder how thick it will be, Was gonna order the wrapsol skin, but might as well wait.
I wish it would fit the Seidio holster/clip combo I bought :'(
Yeah, i wish they made a 1750 mah one that fits into the normal casing.
Link to the case.

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.
I noticed this on Amazon and I'm so tempted to buy two of them but is this too good to be true?
So I can't post the link just yet, but it's a Opteka battery for Galaxy S4. 3000 mAh with 3.7v (it's a typo on their site, pretty sure they meant 3.7) for less than 15 bucks. Shipping weight is only 41grams which of course is the part that scares me.
Mugen Power Batteries managed to squeeze in 2750 mAh and ZeroLemon did 3000 mAh with a slightly thicker and heavier pack.
Anyone have any experiences with Opteka? They seem to be more reputable with camera batteries, not so much smartphones. I'm really hoping that this isn't a case of re-labeling the battery.
I recently read about the Hyperion battery which basically allows you to swap your existing battery for an 8000 mAh battery, and comes with a different case. I think the stock battery is something like 3250mAh.
What other batteries are out for the Galaxy Note 4 and in what capacities? I'm not asking for charging boxes. Secondly, are there any cases available to fit these larger battery packs?

There's Zerolemon extended battery 10k mah (I think) which is like a brick but it is a rugged case (many users have problems with the battery calibration. Mugen Extended battery with qi charging and a stand but has no TPU cases available, no protection whatsoever.
I like the Hyperion 8k because it offers a TPU case and it also doesn't add much bulk
Waiting for my Hyperion to arrive. Zerolemon is too bulky and with all that battery reading issues i've decided to go with less capacity but more comfort.
I'm no stranger to bulk. I currently use a UAG case and I love the size. I'm wondering how they compare in size.
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.
