hi guys,
since there is now a samsung galaxy S 4G for T-mobile, i was wondering if we could use the battery and backplate for our i9000's. The dimensions should be the same as it's pretty much identical to the vibrant.
Sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere
Pretty sure it will work, but cannot find a supplier - otherwise I would buy to test!!
I went to the tmo store this weekend, and the battery and plate fit the vibrant. Since i9000 plates fit the vib as well, I'm sure you could use it. However, the backplate is actually terribly cheap looking in person, and even lighter and more plasticy that the vibrant's battery covers.
They both work. Anyone can find a supplier?

in the uk in the three shop a couple of weeks ago there were many colours available at launch and the shop fellow himself didnt know what they were. when i asked him to look he opened the back room and was rummaging somewhere else when i spotted it in a box full of different colours. The shop chap didnt know the features etc and i had to tell him the useful features. so ask in mobile carrier shop as their employees might not have a clue that they have them in stock or even what the features are. there were many colours available including orange, green etc
Those different colors available in S-View Flip Covers or in Normal Flip Covers ?

I got this cover the other day. All is good except for the fact that the cover is a bit thicker, so you lose the thinness of the OEM Cover.
But it makes sense, the battery plate needs to be thicker since it is attached to the front cover. Also, the cover never actually sits flat on the screen. I've been trying to work it in, with no luck.
Just found another beautiful s-view cover from Cover Bot. Not sure about NFC sensors in it.
Free S-View Cover worth Rs. 2,499

There has been drastic drop in the price for almost 84%, lol. How come the initial price was 60$, that's a fortune for such case.. My job here is done.:angel:

Well if it's not, Amazon is allowing a significant ammount of false advertising!!
FYI,
just did some research on this seller and found out that the same seller was selling fake griffin iphone cases. And I'd say this s view cover is also fake.
No harm taking chances though, as amazon has great buyer protection.
Cheers.

You are correct about the complaints regarding the Griffin, however, there are as many postings that indicate the case is original and one alleging to be by persons who worked for Griffin, and apparently believe they are real. WHO KNOWS, and what in the world is Amazon still selling them as advertised when supposedly fake cases are being supplied.??
Someone just posted a video in this section which shows his "OEM" cover puts the phone in S-View mode when the cover is folded back against the phone. Also, his cover has "Samsung" printed on the front top. Neither mine nor the pictures on Amazon have this. Pretty sure the $9.00 are knock-offs (with a magnet problem).
Rich
Eh, I ordered two of them, one to keep brand new for resale with the device in a year and the other to swap between it with the aftermarket wireless receiver in it and the upcoming OEM wireless charging cover.... if it sucks, I'll take it up with Amazon, but I've always wanted one just not the price tag associated with it! I only paid a couple $20's more than the MSRP of the S View cover for the phone itself!
I'll gladly report back with my findings - I'll even bring it in to the local BBY and fit both to compare
EDIT - just received the cases, and they are, in fact, FAKE AS FUUUUUUUUUUU
If you look at amazon now, the s-view case and the flip case are under $10 plus free shipping. And they are Samsung OEM. Shows original price as $59.95.

They will look just like the $59 ones because they are being sold by Samsung... Manufacturer is Samsung.. They are the same thing.
That's like saying the s4 sold on the same site by Samsung is somehow a cheap knockoff. Do an amazon search of galaxy s4 s-view.

wellllllllllllll....... let me correct some things you just said - this is NOT being sold by Samsung, it's being sold by "TopEDepot," whoever the F that is, it's a vendor on Amazon, read: NOT Samsung. The seller is claiming it is made by Samsung, but we'll all soon find out how true that is, I guess!
EDIT - just received the cases, and they are, in fact, FAKE AS FUUUUUUUUUUU
No OEM Samsung product ever says "Galaxy S IV" on it, not to mention how poorly made the back cover is and the SAMSUNG logo on the back looks like a crappy screen print on the junk cover.... Starting a claim with Amazon to get my money back, oh well, it was worth a shot! I'm loving my S Charging wireless charging battery cover anyways, so it's no big deal, most likely wasn't going to use the S View cover much if at all!
Hey folks, I'm looking for an arm band case plus its strap that fits my S4 which has the 7500mAh extended battery. I'd prefer something that fits perfectly or very close to it. It can be anything from plastic, rubber, neoprene or whatever... as long as it's not leather. I also have an 18 inch bicep so I can't work with a small, medium or large arm band velcro strap.... it has to be XL/around 18+".
So where can i find one that would fit my arm & for how much? I've been looking all over the net at places like ebay, amazon, newegg, etc but can't find one that would fit. Please help, thanks.

I honestly don't think they make an armband that is big enough to fit the 7500 mAh phone and battery. You may have to buy one for the regular size S4 and see if you can doctor it to make it fit securely with the extended battery.
To be honest though, I would expect your arm to get pretty tired after having the ZL battery and phone attached to it...LOL

I tried to find an arm band for the 7500mah battery too. I could not find one. I finally went with xxl arkon arm band and tried to fit my phone in it with extended battery but could only get half in. I settled with just switching back and forth with the stock battery and it works fine. I have plenty of battery life with stock battery and i stream pandora the whole time im at the gym

I'm looking for the same exact thing and am not having much luck finding anything. Even went to a local fitness shop next to work to see what they offered. The closest I could possibly find was a armband for a Note II, but the guy at the shop wouldn't let me take it out of the packaging to try it out. Said I had to buy it first and if it didn't work I could just return it. Since they were charging about $25 for the armband I thought that was a bit of an expensive experiment and walked out.
Update:
So I went to Best Buy the other weekend to look at this Armpocket - Xtreme i-30 armband: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Xtreme+...8782997061&skuId=6692013&st=armband&cp=2&lp=2
I asked the sales rep if this armband would accommodate a GS4 with an Otterbox Defender (I said Zero Lemon extended battery and they had no idea what that was). She opened up a Defender box and slid it right in. I had some store credit so I went ahead and bought it. It fits right in with the Zero Lemon 7500mAh battery and case and I could zip it completely closed for Bluetooth use or leave just enough open to plug in corded headphones. Only real issues is that the buttons (volume and home) are a little hard to get to while you're actively running, but aside from that it works great! I've used it every day since I bought it and have had absolutely no issues!
Maybe this will work?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C0O2F4S/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It is made for the Note 2, but I guess it could work to the size of the S4
with a large case?
For less than $8 bucks I might send for it and try.
Such a large volume of course very much. However inconvenient to carry.
Any luck in finding a case that works for you? I bought this from Best Buy and it works great: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Xtreme+i...band&cp=2&lp=2
I left an update on my original comment.
Disclaimer: I was chosen to receive a review unit of the Mugen Power 5900mAh Extended Battery.
So, that being said, I had done some research on their website, as well as googling Galaxy S5 "wireless charging" + "extended battery" and was prepared to like the battery. Mugen appears to be the only company (from google search) that has an extended battery AND wireless charging. This is a preliminary review with initial observations and pictures. I'll update the review after "conditioning" the battery and putting it through a few charging cycles.
PRO's:
On the website, the backcover was not suppose to be IP67 water-resistant (they were working on that, but it wasn't suppose to be wireless charging capable. The model I received is! (See included pictures)
Wireless charging: Worked effortlessly on the Q1 charger I was using with a wireless charging card.
NFC: Worked perfectly.
Design: Very solid and well designed. As you can see in the picture, the wireless connector is solid, the speaker is boxed in, so that sound won't echo in the hollow space, but is directed to the cut-out. Also, the speaker cut-out has a film cover, which the OEM does not. I'm used to having my phone is a case so I'm used to a larger feel in my hand and it feels very comfortable to me.
CON's:
Just one. It would be nice if it included a bumper so that the front of the phone was raised slightly. That being said, Mugen included both a tempered glass screen protector, and a leather-like pouch for the phone. I honestly don't know if that's part of the standard order, but it was a very nice touch.
Lastly, Mugen is based out of Hong Kong, but they are by no means anything like an e-bay cheapy product. Instructions included with battery are written in perfect english. If you've ever gotten an e-bay product from the Far East, I'm sure you know what I mean!
UPDATE 1: After the first charge/discharge cycle, almost 1 day, 8 hours and 7 hours screen on time. Pretty heavy use with Google Maps running screen brightness set to full brightness. After next charge, I'm just going to put it through "normal" use.
UPDATE 2: With light to moderate use, got 3 days, 8 hours, 40 minutes.
Planning on moving up to the S5 from the S4 since the latest Galaxy doesn't have the features it use too. Anyway... I really like your review and even went to Mugen's site and gave it a once over, but I'm not hooked.
Right now I am using a 5200mAh from Anker and for $25 I couldn't have gone wrong. This thing with moderate to heavy use is getting me around 2 days of battery life. Anyway... I'm pretty happy with the Ankers performance, so of course I looked into them for the S5 and I see they offer a whopping 7500mAh for only $40.
Granted you mention Mugen sending you a pouch/case... but their site doesn't mention that... so no idea if that would even be included on every order or if it might have been a limited order/supply kind of deal. Regardless though... I can't seem to justify paying an extra $45 and getting a battery that's 1600mAh smaller than the Anker. Also I have to add that my current S4 Anker hardback sucks... wasn't molded well and sometime pops off as it doesn't fit real snug like it should and I see Mugen uses the same kind of hardback. The S5 Anker uses what looks to be a plastic/rubber combo and fits like a glove.
Appreciate the review though.

Please don't hijack the thread. Feel free to discuss Mugen, otherwise PM the user you're asking. Thanks.
Thanks for the review. If the site advertised / sold the exact same one with the IP67 rating like the one you received. I would purchase one in a heartbeat.
