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.

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.
Did anyone find an extended battery that works with otterbox without making any modifications to the case?

From what the videos of zerolemon state you use your phones original back so it should be case ready. I will find out here soon though.
Alright guys I got the zerolemon 3000 mah battery in the mail today. I have my battery cover on. Went on with just a tad more pressure. I put on my Spigen slim armor case and it went on great. Also put on the Commuter Otterbox with no problems. I have to be honest though I'm liking it with the slim armor case more.
Hi, I'm using Anker 5200 battery for my S4, which is great. However i dont like that my phone is unprotected on the screen. Is there any extended cases for a 5200 mah battery that you can suggest?

Seido just released their Active extended case that is built for their 4500 mah battery. There is a good possibility that it might fit. Would be interesting to see. I'm currently using my 2 zerolemon 3000 mah batteries with my qi wireless charging receiver and random cases and it works great together. I can usually go 10-18 hrs depending on use during the day at work. My wifi, bluetooth and gps run all day, everyday.
It looks a little bit bulky, and yes i know the extended battery is big too, but i bought a slim case for S3 for my extended battery and that was really slim
I have also seen some on ebay, but the quality of them are always very low ( have tried them)

I have seen a 4200mAh external battery case, not tested though.

Have you taken a look at Incipio's offGRID case?
I'm not sure how well it will protect the front of your screen but it definitely looks pretty slim and has a front attachment that may act like a bumper (I'll post more once I get my review unit in).

Yes, I am also looking for a protective case to fit the various 5200 mah batteries that are available.
The Incipio's offGRID case is a case that contains an auxiliary battery but not meant to fit over an extended in phone battery.
The Seido Active extended case is very bulky and may interfere with auto dashboard mounts and the Wilson Sleek amplifier.
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.

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.
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.
