Case for extended battery?

I know that it wasn't available two months ago. Has there been anything new regarding this? Any cases for the phone with extended battery?

prob not, i know for my old Droid 2 there were hardly any cases that supported the moto extended battery (i think 1 did)
Since i still can't tell if samsung actually has an official extended battery they say that supports the charge, i can't see many manufactures making one.

I have the official Samsung extended battery. But for some reason it's not really marketed a whole lot. Go figure.

Probably because it turns the phone into a brick.

I actually prefer the heft. Thought the stock slim battery is too light and weak. The extended battery is giving me 18-22 hours of moderate usage.

Yea, I must admit i havent seen a case for it anyplace. not even in china. I hear it fits inside a clip. i tried mine. but it seems to JUST fit. and floppy. prob will fall out

Hyperion now has a silicon skin that fits with their 3500mAh extended battery. The description says it should also fit with most other 3500mAh or 3600 mAh extended batteries.

Thanks. I just installed my new Hyperion extended battery yesterday and it is too slippery I dropped it once already. Out of necessity, I cut out a hole on the standard size case. It's doable, but ugly from the back, which I don't care since I only see the front side anyway. Lol.
I'm more interested in how the front facing buttons would operate and feel with the rubbery cover.
TIA

Battery cases ie. Powerskin

Any experience with the powerskin? Any other alternatives? I really am looking for a case with extra battery and not just extra batteries or a different back cover. I like the idea of a case/battery combo.

I know some people who use it and it works for them but a lot of the reviews say it stops charging after a few months...
For the same price you can get the sedio 3800mah battery (60$ ) and then get the case for the extended battery also from sedio (20$ ) which might be a little bit more reliable..

Iirc, the phone won't deep sleep with the powerskin. You don't even need a battery that big. Nexus extended is far more than enough. You don't need one at all. I run 24 hours plus on stock with over 5 hours screen on, gtalk and text all day, emails, fb, weather, words with friends, stream music, and more.

With the nexus extended I'd need a new cover? If so, are there cases that accomdate for the new back cover?

You don't need a new cover. The battery might fit great, it might bulge. definitely didn't need a new case and my cover does bulge slightly

That battery is awesome. I've had it for two days now. I am a moderate to heavy phone user, and it is sitting at 43% after 15 hours of being unplugged. 40% of that is screen time.

I had the power skin, worked great for awhile but now the USB cord on the bottom to connect to the phone stopped working. I could probably have it serviced under warranty but....yeah don't want to bother it wasn't that good

I am on my 4th Powerskin for my SR in less than two months. They either die and stop working or the charging port gets worn down so it only makes contact when you hold it and put pressure on it. It is realistically about an extra 75% added to your battery, but your phone uses it to stay 100% charged so none of your battery saving features work. Would recommend a larger replacement battery over a case battery. I ended up buying extra andido batteries off amazon and plan on giving that a try over this.
I bought it at AT&T so they keep giving me replacements but will not give me a refund.
Do not recommend.

On my 2nd powerskin and it along with the 1st one stopped recharging......waste of time. Plus it makes it bulky.

I went through two of them. The last one overheated my phone and killed it :-( at&t gave me a new phone and I changed to an otter box.

I got a power skin for my Vibrant back in the day, and it was hideous. And barely charged it 60%, so I felt it was a waste of money.

For the added bulk, the lint the case attracted while in my pocket, not to mention it made it hard to get in and out of my pocket, and the cost, nothing less than a full charge would have been worth it. It sucked.

I had a power skin for my Sensation. I loved it. Battery life was amazing. And it didn't look bad either with all the added bulk.

That thing looks hideous. what's with the big nub covering the USB. Is that whet it powers it?.

How else do you expect the power from the case to get into the phone?

For the money, I expect them to use a lower profile connector. It shouldn't stick out that far.

POGO Pins!!!
How about a case this that uses pogo pins?
- 3200mAH and no bulging nubs on the sides. What's best? You can use the MHL connector. Extended battery while using the HDMI connector. Nothing beats that. Period.

As cool as that is, it still doesn't protect the phone. It definitely looks better than the PowerSkin, though.

shoot em an email bro; last i heard when i mailed them was mid may.
keep us updated.

They said within a couple of weeks. They said that 4 days ago, also they said they are going to release a rugged case version in June. He said to check their amazon store.

Yes, I've received reply from Zerolemon as well. Was told it should by out by the end of may.
But wasn't told about another version of case.
Would be nice to see a sample of rugged case before buying the silicone one.

Before I made the purchase to the S4, I had the S3 with the extended battery. Therefore, I took the opportunity to test it out at the T-Mo Store with their Demo Version. Althouth the S3 extended battery is smaller than the the S4 battery area, it fit nonetheless.
Best part, it booted without any problems.
Charging no problem.
(haven't tested the NFC)
Plus, the extended battery case fit snugly as well (except that it covers the flash and speaker area but not the camera).
:laugh:

oh that is quite a nice find. does the battery cover the flash or speakers? I know you said it does but it that the battery part or case part?

Okay gents thread cleaned. Please lower the noise level.
Carry On.

Hi guys, for those that eagerly waiting like me, this is a quote that I received from Zerolemon
We will be shipping the S4 battery next week to Amazon.

Noice! I've always strayed away from extended batteries because it makes the phone look pregnant, but the way they do their casing is really slick. And something about 12 hours on screen time just sounds fabulous!

The case covers the light source and the speakers, also covers the headphone adapter.
Basically, my intention is not meant to customize the case to fit the S4. I was making a point for those that already have the S3 extended battery, that it won't be a complete loss when switching to the S4.
I am still going to wait for the S4 extended battery to come out but for the mean time, this beast of an S4 needs the juice.

I agree with you , somewhat...
Before GS4, I had GS2, whith extended battery as well
But from what I read so far, Zerolemon makes a better one, plus the case it makes it trully priceless, since no one makes TPU cases for extended batteries
This phone has pretty good power management system, but as soon as you start using it and the screen is on, especially outdoors, when you need more light to see it in sunlight, you litterally see 1% of power going down almost every couple of minutes
So to make whole story short and really use the full phone with all of it features, you need lots of power for busy full day of use.
I really don't understand people who post pics, how long they phone can work on stock battery. come one wake up people, major battery is used by screen, not by you having it in your pocket.

Havent used one myself as I get pretty good battery life out of the stock one. Ive seen quite a few people post that zerolemons are decent. I know seidio and trident make extended battery cases, and trident makes high quality stuff at a reasonable price.

zerolemon has good batteries .... but since they were charging for too much shipping - 20$... i bought the official charging kit from samsung...
using 2 stock oem batteries suffice 30hrs with 9hrs of screen time
if u want the max capacity then zerolemon 7500mAh is the best solution but the phone becomes bulky ..

We've got about a dozen different battery threads. I really recommend a 7500mAh battery, and to my knowledge only Zerolemon and Hyperion make them (I both own and recommend both). Not even Mugen makes batteries for this phone of that capacity.

I absolutely love my 5200mah hyperion. My battery used to die at work with power saving mode used and everything. Currently ive used my phone super heavy for 16 hours and I still have 22% without power save mode. Even though its double the mahs I feel like I get triple the life. Love it

I use the 5200 Hyperion as well. The phone still fits in my side belt cases a d I use the TPU case sometimes too.
