Hi, i been looking and i cant find a case that fits my Samsung infuse 4g on att, I Have a extended battery on my infuse - is there any case out there for this ?
Not yet. I had a nice leather case that I can no longer use thanks to the extended battery. However, I found that by purchasing a high quality plastic skin for the phone, and cutting a square out of the back (see other threads on this forum), I was able to make a very nice, working case for my phone. Do use the higher quality plastic, though, because once you cut a whole in the cheap cases, they won't stay on your phone.
Cut a hole in a 1 dollar case and it's snug as can be.
I've seen a few people cut the back.out of the hybrid reiko cases and let the extended back only where the batrry portion..of the cover comes through ...still giving you the option to utilize a case over an extended back.
Anyone see any other methods of products for this

Says it has to be used with their extended battery though.
If you're referring to the Nexus extended battery, I think any case would work. That's what I heard anyways.

Can you post picture
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.

Which case should I get

Have never used zerolemons stuff but ive used alot of tridents stuff and they make quality products, their customer service is really good too. The electra is one case I havent used but I imagine the quality is just as good as their other products.
Hit thanks if I helped you out. Doing a little bit of reading goes a long way. Sent via tapatalk.
If you're going for pure battery usage length, go with a zero lemon. I had the Electra for my s3 and loved it. Trident products are great and I hope they get to be as popular as the otter box.

Cheaper on Amazon
Trident looks to be selling it for about $70 (not sure if there are shipping charges). I just found it on Amazon for less that $45 with free shipping (shipping charge if you need it faster than ground). For $45 I'm going to have to give it a try. Here's the link:

Zero Lemon w/Trident Electra
Finally got my Trident Electra. Made the mistake of having it sent to work then taking a few days off. A few weeks back I had ordered the Zero Lemon 3000mAh. Since I ordered the Electra I'd been wondering if I the 2600mAh Trident batter was swappable. Yep, sure is. So here's what I did:
I fully charged the spare Zero Lemon 3000mAh battery and placed it in the backing of the Trident Electra case. It fit snug but still seems to be pretty flush against the rest of the backing. I put the rest of the Electra case together with my phone (with the other Zero Lemon 3000mAh). I struggled a little to get the entire case to fit right. It seemed very snug to the point where I felt like I was forcing the sides to lock, but I got it all in and everything worked great, with one exception. I did not like the feel of the plastic screen protector that is attached to the Electra, but it's possible due to the fact that I'm using a TechArmor Ballistic glass protector, which got me thinking that his may be the cause of some of the bulk in the front part of the case (that and the fact that the Zero Lemon 3000mAh does bulge out the back of the phone a little). I took the case apart again, removed the plastic screen protector and put everything back together. It actually fit someone better and wasn't as hard to get the case components to snap together.
After hitting the gym this morning for about 90 minutes I'm still at about 80% on my original charge before putting the Electra together so I'm not sure yet how quickly this configuration will charge the phone battery. I'm also not sure if the snug fit from using both Zero Lemon batteries will cause any overheating during usage and/or charging. The Electra case is not an "always on" extended battery case. It must be turned on (button on the back) in order to use the case battery, but I'm okay with that.
As I use this case configuration over the next couple of days I'll comment back on how well it works, but so far I'm kinda digging it. I love the protection of the case itself, but I'm really starting to get into the idea of having a total of 6000mAh of power at the ready. I loved my Zero Lemon 7500mAh but I hated the case. Until Zero Lemon designs and releases a much more protective case for the 7500mAh (I don't care about size and bulk) I think I may be sticking with the Trident Electra using both Zero Lemon 3000mAh batteries, provided it doesn't all explode on me from overheating :fingers-crossed:
FYI, Zerolemon suppose to release a rugged case for S3/S4 and Note 2 any day now... I'm monitoring it from Note 2 side since I'm in contact with ZL guys, and they mentioned that a design for all those 3 cases should be similar where it will be 2 layer case (inner TPU and outer PC exoskeleton), accommodate stock and extended batteries, and have a belt clip. As a matter of fact S4 case will be released earlier, that's why I was browsing S4 forum to see if anybody has any more info about

That's great news! Thanks for that update. Any word on if they will sell just the rugged case or if it will have to be bundled with the 7500mAh battery?
My take on the Trident Electra w/Zero Lemon 3000mAh
So I thought I'd just give my quick review of this after using it for a little over a week. This is my first review of anything so bare with me as I'm sure I'm leaving a lot of details out, especially when it comes to my level of usage.
I really didn't like using the Trident Electra all that much under my configuration which was with a pair of Zero Lemon 3000mAh batteries, although the batteries weren't totally the reason why.
First, and for my liking, the Electra case was too bulky. I couldn't fit this into my Armpocket Xtreme i-30 armband, which I could with an Otterbox Defender and Commuter case as well as the Zero Lemon 7500mAh. This was a huge con for me since I use my phone for my morning workouts.
Second, I didn't like the front case design. There is front protective bar that runs between the Samsung logo and the screen. It's pretty flush to the top of the screen, and as such I had a really hard time accessing my notification bar, which I use a lot. I thought about clipping that bar off a few times but then figured that would defeat the point of the protection for that part of the case.
As far as the actual functionality of the Electra case, it did what it was supposed to in adding additional battery life, for the most part. Again, I'm using a pair of Zero Lemon batteries, one in the phone and one attached to the back of the case. I let the phone batter drain to about 15-20% after some 14 hours of regular usage several times before turning on the case. While the Electra did provide the phone battery with additional juice, I never seemed to get it beyond 75% of total capacity, which I felt was odd. So in most cases I was only getting an additional 50% of battery time. For my level of usage with my phone, which is more likely less than that of a power user.
On the good side I didn't really experience any problems with overheating. But then again I don't exactly know what temperature would be excessive. Using Battery Left Pro, during regular usage the temperature was between 80-85 degrees. During charging from the Electra it never went above 115 degrees. Someone will have to tell me if that is too much, but for me I didn't think that was too bad. It felt warm, but certainly not hot.
As of this past weekend I am no longer using the Trident Electra. The added bulk and my inability to secure it in my armband for my daily workout routines is a real deal breaker. Right now I'm back to using my Otterbox Commuter with the 3000mAh battery until Zero Lemon releases a much more rugged case for the 7500mAh, provided I can use it with my armband. Although I am considering trying out the Dyconn as it's said to be slimmer than the Electra. We'll see...
I'm looking for the most rugged extended battery case I can find for GS4. All the ones I've seen do not offer much screen protection. I like covers with something actually protecting screen also. Is there anything out there I'm not finding. Not concerned about weight. Thanks.
Just a quick update in case someone else stumbles across this post in the future. I never got a response but after much googling I discovered the ZeroLemon Case and battery. I bought the ZeroLemon Samsung Galaxy S4 7500mah Extended Battery and the ZeroLemon Orange / Black Zero Shock Series Hybrid Case. I've been using for about a month now and I'm very pleased with both. I'll never go back to a normal battery again.
