Has anyone tried both the Mugen and Seidio extended battery covers?

I'm curious which one felt better in your hands while typing with the hardware keyboard. If Mugen does I will order the Seidio battery and Mugen cover independently as I've had good experiences with this combo of parts on my Palm Previously.

Dude man like really. Why wasting my time wit you. Everyone knows seidio rules. Just look at their website they have everything then look at mugenpower and like they don't have all the accessories, they are the low down dirty skanks of the cell world
Also with mugenpower better get a condom for your phone as they are made in dirty conditions with slave labor from china

I just got my Seidio 3300 and must say the case for it is extremely uncomfortable in my hands. There are way too many hard angles which is really taking away from the the experience of using the phone itself. I ordered the Mugen cover from the link posted below and will be updating this post in a few days when I receive it.

Man Hands = Seidio enjoyment feels wonderfull

The Mugen is even bigger

I like it. I think I'll order one. The decision to make it a thick version of the original seems perfect.

Yeah, especially with the keyboard fix TheImpaler posted last night. Although I have become accustomed to the Epic's weight I have always found it to be a little light for my taste. Even after logging some decent time in with this Seidio cover I still don't like it. There is just way too much going on in the back not to be distracted by it. Having extra meat in the back also makes typing 5x easier. I'm thinking a thicker OE design will be just what the doctor ordered. Mugen did a good job on their covers for the Pre and hopefully they'll do justice to the Epic's design as well.

I don't really use the slide keyboard. I just like the idea of the same/similar curvature as stock.

I just got the Mugen cover and its spectacular. I had to shave the living hell out of the insides to get it to fit as it uses a thicker plastic than the Seidio but it was well worth the effort. I highly recommend it. Feels great in my hands.

Nice. Can you post a picture of the insides?

Lots of scraping with a pocket knife lol. I lined the edges of the battery with some chalk to see what areas needed shaving.

Cool. Thanks for that. How does it fit around the edges? Is it precise?
I'm OCD and my generic eBay cover bugs the heck out of me because it doesn't follow the phone perfectly. Hah

It took about three days to come from Colorado to Berkeley. No shipping confirmation was sent so don't get worried if you don't hear anything from Mugen.

It fits great. I'm OC too and spent an extra 20 minutes shaving it down so that everything was nice and tight. I took off maybe 1/16" off when all was said and done. I'll post pics of it once I get home.

Thanks. I placed my order the other day. Do you still like it?

It was a little too much for me to be carrying around as a daily driver. I didn't mind it with my Pre but the Epic was just too big for my preference. I'm keeping it around for roadtrips however incase I need some intensive GPS usage. I ended up going back to the stock battery and lucked out when my phone bricked on Vision's 1.2 kernel. The sales rep at Sprint was nice and slipped me a spare battery. The girth of the extended battery cover definitely made typing a little easier so I ordered a protective case off ebay. Some guy is selling the same (supposedly) cases that Sprint sells for dirt cheap. They're the ones made by Otterbox. I picked it up for $7 shipped.

So for you it's a size issue, not fit or finish?

Yeah, fit and finish are perfectly fine. Expect to be shaving for a loong time. I think a pocketknife will work best.

I just received mine about an hour ago. Interestingly, the fit & finish is fine as you said but I had to put a spacer inside...not dig it out. I cut a business card in quarters, folded one of them in half then taped it inside.
I don't know if that's because of my batteries being eBay cheapies, or variance in the cover.
My only real complaint is how tight it is once it's on. Those little tabs make removal extremely difficult. Folks who never or rarely change batteries might consider that a good thing.

Same here, it seemed a little loose, and when I shut my KB to hard, the phone reset. Took me a while to trace it back to the loose battery, as I didnt notice it for the most part until I went to check my phone and it was off

Yah, I use my license to slip under and edge to get it off the back, but it sure is a PITA otherwise.
Overall, I LOVE it (once I fixed the looseness of the battery)
I really enjoy the way it feels when typing now, and I love the extra protection the camera lens now gets

Motorola Atrix 2 Extended Battery

Received my Motorola Extended Battery just now in the mail, draining it then will recharge fully to test it for full day tomorrow.
First impressions, it adds a little bulk, some protruding from the back. Replacement case has soft touch but doesnt feel as nice as regular back casing.

Hi guys! Can you tell me WHERE you ordered the extended battery? I've been trying to find it everywhere but no luck.
Can you point me in the right direction?

I ordered mine in-store at an at&t store, and got it shipped to my house.
I did order when it said "temporarily out of stock" (as it still does now, sku 40528 on att's site) but it took a couple days to get it sent out.
edit: fixed the sku, though googling for "sku5380297" will still find it faster (can't post a link yet)

Thanks for the info!

Hey Shanghei, have you seen increased battery life? Bimmerd00d isn't, was wondering if that's true for you too.

Moto Atrix 2 extended battery and case/cover
Hello,
I just bought this extended battery for the Atrix 2, and it is awesome!!!
it extends my battery life and I get a full day's charge out of the phone.
I was only getting less than a half day out of regular battery and had to charge it up after lunch... Although I am new to this phone and am trying/figuring things out so I may drain the battery faster than normal, and was considering not keeping the phone since the regular battery drained sooooo fast... But, with this new extended battery I think it is like 2700 mh battery, it makes this phone so nice.
It does not increase the size too much, but is noticeably heavier. I'm talking about the larger Motorola battery from their website or AT&T. I bought it from the AT&T store and am Glad I did... If you need more battery life then I recommend buying this extended battery - you will be glad you did...

I placed an order on the Motorola Store. They are shipping in 4-5 days. Will see how it goes!

Which Motorola store ? I keep popping onto the Motorola site and it still says coming soon. Battery life on the A2's been better then I expected, but I could certainly use more. I really want the battery so that the camera lens is a little more protected without having to get a bulky case.
Does the new back still feel as snug/solid as the original ?
Motorola support told me the phone should still fit with the car and HD docking stations with the extended battery pack. Any idea if this is true ?
& Thanks for the pictures.

The HD docking station has space for the extended battery pack. The car adapter supposedly has a removable "shell" to fit the extended battery.
It does fit pretty snugly, though the bottom part on mine sorta gives in and squeaks a little if you press it in below the settings/home buttons. I could probably put a layer of electrical tape under the battery door to make it feel more solid though it doesn't concern me.
As far as the Motorola store goes, it looks like it shows "coming soon" if you try to get to the battery listing from the atrix 2 page, but if you come at it from the batteries and chargers page, it shows it in stock.
Currently second on the list here and it allows me to add it to my cart.
Another option for those want an extended battery but not quite so extended, mugen power just released an extended battery for the bionic with 2000mAh instead of 1735mAh.
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...attery-for-verzion-motorola-droid-bionic.html
(bionic uses the same batteries as the atrix 2, since it's normal size you wouldn't need a battery cover)

Ran through a full charge on both now. It seems the extended and the standard reach 30% at the same time, but the extended one sits at 30% forever. Its simply a calibration thing at this point I think. It took 39hrs to kill the extended and 28 to kill the standard with my normal use
Sent from my Atrix 2.

I belive that if they could create a full bodied case with the extended battery built into it, I would jump on that. I refuse to walk out of the house without my case being attached to it. How do you people do it!!?? No case just walking around all naked and stuff.

I had my iphone 3gs for 2.5+ years with no case (just a vinyl back decal) and traded it in with it still in near perfect condition. I always keep my phone in my front pants pocket, screen towards my thigh (and I don't put change or keys in the same pocket). I only wipe the screen clean with a microfiber cloth, but otherwise, but a good deal of that time I was working as a mechanic, I'm not exactly dainty with my stuff. I tried a case, but they make it more difficult to pull the phone out of my pocket making for more awkward situations.
My only worry without the extended battery is that the camera lens is going to get scratched up every time I set it down.

What's the point in a case? Never had one, never broke/damaged/scratched a phone in 6 years.

Really? Is that even possible.? I am about the most OCD person I know with phone care and I HAVE to use a case. My favs are the Otterbox Commuter, Speck and some Casemates.
Have to say the extended battery looks like it adds a lot of bulk to the back. Will that really be necessary with the size of the battery in the A2?

Yeah, it doesn't have the softback texture does it? The positive thing I suppose is that it would keep the camera glass off of surfaces so you don't have to clean it off as often.

My Otterbox Defender + Extended Battery Mod

So I got the idea from a couple guys on here to order the extended battery for my S4 and modify the otterbox defender case to hold the larger battery. Well finally got to do my project and I took pics along the way so I figured I would right up a tutorial on how I did it.
So I ended up getting the Hyperion 5200mAh extended battery off amazon.

Then I purchased the Otterbox Defender case from amazon.

Things you will need:
-Dremel
-Dry erase marker
-and about 30 mins of your time
Here is my step by steps:
1. I took the otterbox and cut a small hole with the dremel (basically the inside where there wasn't the soft pad)
2. After you cut the start hole it will allow you to line up the case to the phone with the extended battery in the phone. Then trace out then hole with the dry erase marker to the battery. Once you have traced it then removed the battery and line up your trace marks and flip case over holding the battery and trace the inside.
3. Once you cut it test fit it to make sure you don't need to trim any more.
4. Now you need to trace and cut the same hole on the stock back case so the phone will set properly in the otterbox. So trace and cut that case just like you did the otterbox.
5. Once both cases are cut, put phone back cover on, and otterbox, and insert battery.
Now continue building the case.
That's all there is too it. Some finished pictures and comparison to extended battery case.

Yeah that was the whole point. It did come with the back cover, and they sell the rubber covers to cover them. But they are super cheap and I didn't want that. The otterbox mod worked perfectly and I rocked that battery for almost 3 days. It was worth it to have the protection of a nice case in addition to the large battery.

nice ,looks great,otterbox is a great brand

Such an innovative idea! I'll have to try this with my Anker 7800mah external battery.

Hi, i would want to fit 7500mhA Hyperion battery in Otterbox Defender or other cases modifying properly them.
But I'm wondering why here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BCJZYE0?pc_redir=1400591125&robot_redir=1
you have a battery with same size of 5200mhA Hyperion battery and in description it has written clearly that the battery has the same size (then it is not a wrong pic) and here:
http://phabletdiscounts.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=hyperion+7500mhA
you have the same capacity battery for s4 but the size is different.
Are these two different models?
Because I have been following this thread to fit the 7500mhA battery in Otterbox and i bought the battery in second link and then perhaps I cannot fit my battery.
Can someone confirm this?
A second question about the length of this battery: doesn't it cover the speaker of phone?

This case mod will not work with the anker 7800 mah battery. The neo-glove will not fit over it like it will with the hyperion 5200. I just tried it. Any ideas on a third party case that will fit the 7800 mah?

loool this is awesome... good job!

So I am looking at trying this out, I am looking at this otterbox
It looks a bit different
http://www.amazon.com/Otterbox-Defe...ung+Galaxy+S4+Case+-+OtterBox+Defender+Series
This is battery which i wanna use, it says it is the same size, not sure if its true or not.
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Micr...2&keywords=Hyperion+Samsung+Galaxy+S4+7500mAh

So, with your modification, the battery is actually only being held in by the outer rubber cover of the otterbox and no hard case... correct? If so, seems the battery would be easy to jiggle lose or be damaged by a single drop. Am I missing something?

Looking for that good Extended Battery + Case/Bumper Combo. Anyone?

Really wanting one of the 5000mah+ Batteries...but My fears are my precious S4 falling to it's doom due to the lack of grip most crappy exteneded battery cover cases provide.
I'm looking for either a strong bumper...and or a case that will work with any of the good brand extended batteries.

Seidio is getting ready to launch their Active case in a version that accommodates their excellent 4500 mAh cell. If you haven't checked it out already it's worth considering.
For what it's worth, a Seidio 4500 will usually far outlast most other brands at higher mAh ratings. They're pricey, but you get what you pay for.

It's TPU plastic, so it feels slightly rubberized. It has more grip than the phone itself, but doesn't cause too much friction with putting the phone in your pockets.
I found the extra weight helps keep the phone in your hand. Additionally if you look at the shape of the case, the camera recess is a very convenient finger hold.

military grade protection for oneplus6?

Is spigen the right choice,
or the ringke fusion,
or the otterbox(I have doubts in otterbox since its commuter series not the defender,i have seen them failin for many some phones)
not going for poetic since its expensive here in india don't noe about other countries
then there are some cases in mobilefun site
if there are others kindly suggest guys please,,im a very careless person and I have ordered the phone and nowhere near finalizing the case
As for the screen protectors..
from the previous thread original oneplus 6 screen and orzly sounds right..
so please guys help what should I go for........I dnt see ne1 mentioning spigen here......why that?are they bad?
and why the hell rhinoshield takin so much time..there screen protectors are the best I think

Rhinoshield are bringing out their Solidsuit for Oneplus6.

Spigen is always my case of choice.

We needs a battery case. My LG G3 with a giant ass Zerolemon battery lasted 3 or 4 days easily and you could throw it at a brick wall without doing a single bit of damage.

What about the heat? What concerns me about these full protection cases is heat. If the phone is locked inside a case,and considering the cpu power, wouldn't that be a problem? and if there's heat, there's more battery drain and might bring other problems if excessive. Now the summer is coming, i do want to protect every piece of my device, but i don't wanna cook it in the process lol . What do you guys think about it?

I think it is about a working heat range. The phone works fine for me in Ireland and I can only assume it works just fine for people living somewhere like India. That change in temperature and exposure to sunlight is probably more significant than a case. Now if it is in a case and left in direct sunlight, while being used for a long time, while in India then you might start to see a problem but one of those conditions is likely to change pretty quickly. Take what you say above - If you lock the phone in a car in summer..under what conditions? If you are in the car and using the phone is the AC on? If you leave the car you arent going to be using it, nor likely to leave it in direct sunlight because it would then be visible and stolen :laugh: A phone in a case, in a glove box, not being used isn't likely to over heat.

What about the heat? What concerns me about these full protection cases is heat. If the phone is locked inside a case,and considering the cpu power, wouldn't that be a problem? and if there's heat, there's more battery drain and might bring other problems if excessive. Now the summer is coming, i do want to protect every piece of my device, but i don't wanna cook it in the process lol . What do you guys think about it?

I think oneplus 6 processor can work efficiently below 41 degree Celsius without case I mean playing high end games etc like asphalt 9 or pubg etc.. in no termperature controlled environment...even the summers...which is like crazy good.....with the cover itll go max 5 degree more...still ok.....plus u could look for cases with air flow like spigen...others I don't noe cuz many awesome brands are still in the process of development of their cases for oneplus 6 so its not out yet...man wait for rhinoshield crashgaurd..itll solve ur problem like completely haha..
Plus u can always remove d case if u have exceeded 40 min of continuous heavy usage..or just give it a rest after an hour or you could use the wonders of air conditioned room....plus its always recommended to let your phone rest for a while if u are constantly using really heavy apps....man it has a 8gb ram and an amazing processor..its like van diesels muscle car in d fast n furious movies...precisely and heavily modded beast!!!
or u could root it haha....sice oneplus 6 is rootfriendly which means ur warranty stays intact..

We needs a battery case. My LG G3 with a giant ass Zerolemon battery lasted 3 or 4 days easily and you could throw it at a brick wall without doing a single bit of damage.

I've never dropped a phone, but my gf and friends have dropped my phones a couple times and never an issue.
They are not military grade but I like my phones naked so any case I used I like minimal but with protection. I usually use the Neo Hybrid cases

I just ordered the Poetic Guardian. Will add bulk but I ALWAYS drop my phone...

Please give me a shout out if you find it!!

The Spigen case imo is just perfect. Great protection, looks awesome and feels amazing. An all in one case for me :good:

It seems that there is finally news of Supcase, however it is not what I expected.!!

Well finally

I checked the second one out and it's a great tank case with one problem.. There's no way to access the alert slider.

I am currently using the Oneplus Nylon case and drop my phone once wihout a problem. Spigen is also a nice case the only downside is not compatible with the original Oneplus TG.

UAG now has Plasma series cases for the OP6:
