I have been eyeing for this battery. It's big enough to get through the longest day but thinner compared to most other high capacity extended batteries. Has anyone got this and can you tell us how it is?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Also interested but the price is a bummer.
The price is a bummer but that capacity is perfect. You get a substantial increase from the original battery without turning your phone into a complete brick. My question is do you think the neo hybrid case would fit? By fit I mean cutting away the back of the tpu for the battery to fit through and still have the tpu/bumper on the sides.

Wondering about the thickness of this battery. Kinda hard to tell without comparing to the other extended batteries. I have the Seidio 3500 for s3 and the design on that one is awesome. It feels slimmer and I can use the backplate with the Hyperion battery.

So the seidio battery is 0.6 inches thick while the zerolemon battery is 0.63 inches thick. Not a huge difference.

That's surprising, I thought it would be much thinner. If only the zero lemon battery had a plastic back cover, or if other thick cases could fit the zero lemon battery. Not a huge fan of tpu cases

I think zl is working on a rugged case
Just got this battery today. I did the mod to the Otterbox Defender case and the battery fits great. Sticks out a bit but hardly noticeable. I went from a stock battery and comutter case. So it's noticeably heavier and only slightly thicker. I also immediately removed the awful defender built in protector. I'm using a Mime glass protector and it's tight but it fits. It's charging now overnight hopefully I can get a day or two out of it.

For my first charge I on a stock ROM I got 6 hours screen on time and 17hrs since charge with 9% battery life remaining. I'm happy with that and apparently it can get slightly better after a few charges.

Which bulge? Hahaha... OK, never mind.
The extended back isn't really a bulge, it's actually just a thicker back. It makes the phone 1.2 cm. It's not bad, but certainly makes it more bulky. I believe the zerolemon makes the phone almost 2 cm, so it's significantly less than that.

do you know the name of this case...looking for it online..
I have the Seidio Extended Value Pack case that I picked up when I bought my extended battery.
Sorry, can't post URL. Paste this after their domain name:
product-p/bd5-hkr5htmecx.htm
When we bought Thunderbolts for our office we bought the Verizon case pictured elsewhere in this thread.
For daily use, I like the Verizon case better. For one, it allows you to use the built-in metal kick stand. The Seidio case covers it up and gives you a cheap plastic kickstand. This adds extra bulk that really isn't necessary.
The Seidio combo give you all kinds of options and can provide great protection. I took my Thunderbolt off-line in the Rockies for GPS and movies and never worried about it being damaged. But, the combo I have means three layers of casing when rubberized. They now have some better options, though.
Overall, I feel the Verizon case does a great job.

dang, that looks bad a$$, wish i would have known about that before i bought my seidio case. I love my seidio, but being able to use the tbolt kickstand, instead of the plastic one is nice.
I have the extended battery too and the only decent case selection that suited me has the cut out for the batt door to stick through....kinda sux.
My verizon provided screen protector got a key scratch day one. do you find that those shields work well enough as a case?

If you're referring to the full body shields I love them.. I've used a lot of different cases for a lot of phones but as long as your careful not to drop the phone from a good distance then these are perfect. Adds no bulk, prevents scratches, and I personally like the added grip it provides.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Also if anyone is wondering, I ended up cutting the protector for the back of the phone (standard battery) into two pieces. Covered up the top half before the lip for the battery starts then used the bottom half to cover the top of the little hump.

In have the Case Mate barely there. It fits the phone really tight and keeps the slim design and it fits on the dock. The downside is that the camera is not entirely protected, as it sticks out very very slightly. Like .2mm

I didn't know that it fit... I have the case, just never tried to stick it in the dock. I do agree that it is a great case, it's my second favorite after the Silicrylic.
@naouris- any slim case should work. Thin TPU cases, any shell that just snaps on the back... it's just the thicker cases that won't fit.

That's a common complaint about cases for this phone. The power button is angled so most cases have trouble pressing down on it. The only way I can for sure press the power button with this case every time is to press on the very left of the button. Works every time.
The volume buttons are perfect though.

K I just found my PT Surface case and it does NOT fit in the dock. At least not comfortably. The problem with it is that the back of the case is too thick and if you wedge the connector into the phone you'll risk damaging both the dock and the phone. I'm sure you can actually get it in there but no way in hell would I risk my phone like that.
I tried to show it in this picture but it is a good 1.5-2mm off. When putting the phone in naturally, the dock connector hits the phone body just underneath the USB port on the phone. The front of the dock connector literally lines up flush with the back of the USB port. No bueno.

No prob bud, sorry it took so long.
Hey guys, i've finally found a case i'm satisfied with. I've been looking for cases around on ebay, always buying those random 2 dollar-10 dollar tpu crap.. and was never happy because it made my phone feel bulky. After a lot of research, I found the Incipio feather ultra thin case for about 22 dollars. Its a lot more than what i would spend on a case but I guess i can say its worth it. It feels ONE WITH THE PHONE. Its light, feels strong and sturdy... just simply clean and elegant. The feel to the case is like a strong sturdy plastic for the structure, and the surface touch is like a premium rubber type material with a matte feel
here are some pictures just because I love this combination so much, hopefully it'l work out for you guys too..
remember to click thanks!

Looks just like the Casemate barely there case that I have. Only difference is that there's no upper lip on the Casemate.
Hmm I like it, very nice. I like how it doesn't cover the top or bottom, or come over the edge too much(around the rim of the phone). Thanks for the info.
Does it cover the camera enough so you can lay it flat on its back?

about the case not covering the whole phone it does protect it pretty well. the corners rise slightly up higher than the screen. if it falls, most likely it would fall on a corner, or slanted right? what are the odds of the phone landing flat on the screen, perfect 180degrees? but if it does happen to land on an EDGE of a stairs, or a rock(flat face down again) then yeah that might be a problem
but yeah i recommend this case if you want to keep the sleek thin feel of the one x, cant stand thick tpu cases on big screened phones, its like carrying a brick
I just ordered the grey one from amazon. I figured everyone has a black case so grey might look good with my phone. Especially if it's the same color as the grey HOX. Can't wait for it to arrive.

Not sure of anyone else brought it up yet but the seidio website now has a picture of the surface case up instead of just a graphic that says "under development". The active case still says " under development" with no picture.
You still can't order the surface case but at least the photo is up. Looks petty good.

It's indeed not pretty. But I'm waiting for the Active case without a ks or maybe just the holster.
I don't really need a kickstand though. But I remember my Sensation Active case had the plastic ks. Not sure why they went with metal. Kinda detracts from the phone IMO. I may just need to look at it closer or when the final renders come out lol.

In my experience (and I've owned a LOT of cases) the seidio cases, and in particular the Active case, is the most protective, high quality case available for a cell phone. Cannot wait to order my Active case/holster combo.
Do the cases get in the way of using the phone?

Nope. I have used Active cases for my Sensation, Kindle Fire and now my Nexus 7. Just waiting to jump to get an Active case/holster combo when they have it available. I wish they made one without a kickstand to trim it down a notch.
These are normally my travel cases for my phones. However the Active case for my Nexus 7 is a daily case for me because I have a 4 yr old .
Super Excited
I have been waiting for the active since day 1 of having my nexus 4... can't wait to order it!!!
Surface in black only for now shipping! I'm not sure if I want to wait for the active or not, I am diggin the white surface lol.

Hey all.
I am really happy with this case I just wanted to share my experience with you all. This case is bulky it added an extra battery in the case and a good amount of protection similar to otter box. There is a mirco usb port that is always in your phone. It fits and seals well so no dust will ever get in the port. There is another 2600 mAh battery that sits in the case and once you push a button it will charge up your phone battery so really you would have 5200 mAh. There is a micro usb port built into the case. Once you plug the charger into it both batteries charge, so there is no need to take the case off to charge. The only thing I feel is lacking is a rubber cover for the cases usb port. I dont mind the extra bulk because of the protection it gives. If you are looking for a thin power case exolife or powerskin have good ones. I took a few pics that will give you some views that are not on thier website. If you are interested in this case I found 2 good coupon codes. "Summer13" gives you 35% and if that doesnt work "GOV13" gives you 30% off. I am not affiliated with trident and I paid for my case but I love thier products. http://www.tridentcase.com/shop-products/electra-case-samsung-galaxy-s-i-v.aspx

It sure does. The phone sits in a silicone case then put on the front cover that has a built in screen protector. Then install into the base as shown in my pics.

Is the micro usb cable flushed inside when the case is all built up? I'm concerned that may be when the phone drops with the micro usb port/case cable facing down, it damages the port itself.
Also can you compare it's thickness to a credit card so we can see how thick it is?
I'm really interested in this case and I'm happy that finally someone has it already

Not the greatest pics but...
The usb isnt flush but it has a rubber base and when I insert it it seems to stop before bottoming out in the usb port. To be honest its a pretty thick case. Its a business card in the
pic.

Wow! It looks amazing!
It'll make a great travel case!

Interesting. A Kraken with a built in battery. Nice that the battery is removable.
have you tried anything which uses NFC/Google Wallet? Curious if that still works.

I haven't tried the nfc or wallet. I have all that turned off, I never used it. I did notice where the extra battery sits there are 3 prongs for connection to the battery.

Wondering about using a 3000mah zero lemon battery in both the phone and the extra one in the case. 6000mah would be nice and still have a nice tough case. I like the big 7500mah battery they make, except no one seem to make a good case that will fit it.
can you take a picture of it from the side view for thickness and perhaps a quarter (which a lot of people have been using as a reference)?
Thanks.

Trying to find a drop rating on it, but so far no luck.
The kracken is rated at 810f - which is 2 meter drop I think.
A normal extended battery case with the cheap hyperion TPU case is about half a cm smaller, so I imagine it must be able to withstand at least 810g (4 foot fall).

Yes, I am using it as my primary case. I need the extra protection and battery life. The battery life of my s4 is actually pretty good but I do a lot of internet radio when I work. Its nice to have the extra battery power when I'm at work. I'm not sure the quality of the extra battery but if I start to have issues I can just remove the battery out of the case and put in a known quality battery.
