Extended battery door?

Hey all,
I recently bought an extended battery. Problem is, the description said it was for the Galaxy S, but it doesnt fit my epic
Does anyone know where I can find a battery door for cheap? (On ebay they cost as much as the battery itself) Anyone have an extra laying around to send me?
Thanks

I'll send you my Seidio cover if this Mugen cover I just ordered works out for me. Or just order the Mugen one yourself as I personally am not satisfied with the ergonomics of the Seidio design.

There are all kinds of Galaxy S designs. You have to buy Epic specific battery doors and skins and such.

I realize this now . I bought the extended battery + door for $8.00. Im sure the battery is compatible, but the door is not. Most ext battery doors I found were at least $8, the same price I already paid. Any of you find any good deals on just the ext batter door for the Epic???

Otterbox & Extended Batteries

Hey folks,
I tried searching but could not find the answer. I am about to the buy the otterbox for my lovely G2. I love otterboxes but before I do, anyone know if an extended battery (like this one) would fit with the otterbox on it?
I assume not, based on prior experience the otterbox must be pretty tight but wanted to double check.
Thanks

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.

Just want to add that as much as I love the otterbox, I have gone through 3 of them in a year and they are no longer in production so if it breaks you will not be able to get a replacement under warranty

Thanks for the heads up. I have ordered a cheap case from amazon but still desperately want to find an otterbox. Their cases are so amazing, it sucks there are so few out there for the G2. I am a mission now, seems every store online that lists it says its out of stock once you buy and send the money..

I wonder how good the battery life on seido batteries are, currently I'm using a 1520mah oem battery.

I've heard conflicting reports so good luck. I might try on eventually but I'm getting solid life out of stock for now. Finally found an otterbox on eBay and it's coming next week can't wait. .

Does this type of case exist?

What I need is a charging/extended battery type case with a flip cover (that bit is easy) BUT I need to be able to insert my phone intact with the original battery cover still on. All the ones I have seen so far one has to remove the battery cover before inserting the phone.
Any suggestions please?
Thanks

I believe anker also makes this type of extended battery "case" you're looking for.

Anker requires battery door removal to install. There is a slim batt in the case and a normal sized one included that has extra contacts for the case battery.
Still pretty slick looking. Its Anker, you can't go wrong.

I don't know if I would trust a $20 battery case from China though.
Anyway eBay has a bunch. Whether you can trust them or not is a completely different story.

Definitely not. :good:

Anyone know where I can buy a case for batteries? (a case for a battery NOT phone)

Ok so I been searching amazon and ebay for a CASE for an extra battery but I can't find one. The only one I found was from the official Samsung Extra Battery Kit which cost about $50 and I think it's already too late to get my 50% off accessory code (bought it at launch)....but I wouldn't really want to spend $25 on ONE battery and a case when I already have 2 Anker spare batteries.
Does anyone know where I can find something hard/plastic that can hold my spare Note 4 batteries?
(Picture below)

I was originally using these cases when carrying the batteries in my back pocket but the extra bulk was uncomfortable, so now I am carrying them without the case, no problem. I wouldn't recommend going out of your way for these.

Go to Amazon, pick out an eyeglass case, many different colors, materials, belt clips, rugged etc...

Try this
Hard Case Storage For 1000-20000MA Power Bank USB CABLEs Backup Battery Charger
It may not be the same with the original battery case in the OEM Replacement Battery Kit, but it may be useful. & may store more than 1 batteries.

You can search on eBay for cheap. Even a Mesh Pouch works too. Anything you store things in. Works for me.
This one is awesome, extremely useful, and the seller is genuine and professional in terms of communication and customer service.

Try unregistering your phone and registering it again. If that doesn't work, try calling Samsung at 1-888-987-4357. They'll probably give you another code if you ask nicely.

I've been looking for something like this since I had my GS4, can't believe no one makes anything.

It's easier to find one for an S4 because it's square, I found a q-tip traveling case that was perfect for my S4 batteries haha. Sucks our note 4 has skinny and long batteries

What about a pouch or pencil case?

Lifeproof FRE case with an extended battery or a Wireless charging back cover?

I'm not too sure if this is the right place to ask all of this, but here it goes:
I'm heavily considering an S5, especially since it is has some waterproofing, has an OLED screen, and many features that budget phones today do not have. Lifeproof also offers a case(albeit expensive) that makes it much more waterproof and 'drop-proof'. Would there be any similar cases that you would recommend, that increase waterproofing and make it drop proof?
However, I'm also pretty worried about the battery life. How much time can the stock 2800 mAh battery get you? I'm pretty sure the Lifeproof case won't work with really any extended battery.
And while I don't know the practicality of it, how necessary/cool is a wireless charging cover? I think it's a really cool thing for something as old as an S5, but I'm not too sure if it's worth the tradeoff(s). I have seen posts here saying that the wireless charging cover is somewhat compatible with the Lifeproof case, but inconvenient.
A final question, although not really an accessory question, is where should I get an S5 from? Will the popular ebay ones do for rooting? I need it unlocked though

Hello and welcome the s5 is a good choice to have and it can hold its own as for the waterproof case you could just get the life proof if it suits your needs but I personally don't have one that's water proof.for wireless charging it is good for over night or if your at work but the charge rate is slow so I would just get a long charging cable
For the battery I get about 5 to 6 hours screen on time it all depends on daily usage and what apps your using
And for buying a s5 I paid £40 for mine all working but the paint has started coming off the bezel if you can get one private of sites like shpock or Gumtree then you should get one cheap if not eBay or amazon then I bought a zagg invisible shield off eBay for £0.99p and a hard case for the same price
