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.

This is only one i found on ebay. I was going asking if anyone has tried this yet.
There are 2 types, that I know of.
One like the link above, and one that is full across the back
I got the second type of back, (link) for $12, as I like how it adds protection for the camera lens
I got the battery from here, (link) and it comes with a the first type of back for $18
I don't mind how it thickens the phone, and it actually makes holding when I type on the hw kb a lot more comfortable.
With the 3500mv battery, I was able to have my Epic OC'ed to 1.4GHz, brightness set to 100%, have BT, WiFi, GPS, & 4G on all day, and use the phone normally, and the battery still was over 48% when I got home from work, 10 hours later.
If the price for that is a little extra thickness, I will take that any day. Espically since I can always put the stock battery and back on if I want to use the slim profile for some reason.
Whoops...the link i posted was for a phone cover with the extended battery, not the battery cover. When you buy an extended battery from the same ebay seller he includes the battery cover. This is the case to protect the phone.

The case is ok but right now moretalktime is making a updated version that makes the access to button layouts better. I currently have it but im sending back in and waiting for the updated version since the case blocks some basics features like the speaker and the mic hole.
Can't one use the clip in holster where the face of the phone is facing the holster nd the back of the phone faces outward? A holster similar to the one used with the Seidio Active X cases?

I got tired of the extra bulk and ended up replacing it with an extra OEM battery. I'm keeping it around incase I go on a road trip however.

Yes...the hip belt clip case by Eddie Bauer sold at Best Buy works great with the extended battery.
Hello Doubleshot Family!
I recently purchased the Mugen Power 3600mah battery with battery door. I am currently still breaking in this battery but I have been very impressed with longevity of the battery (I'm on my 3rd day of use on a charge cycle right now)I personally like the extra size as well and decided to use this as my daily driver in a slip case.
That being said, I have a Trident Case in Ballistic Green that will go mostly unused now on my shelf so I've decided to give it away free.
The first person with a shipping address inside the United States who is interested and replies to this post can have this barely used case. I will cover the cost of shipping but you HAVE to have an address inside the US.
Once it's confirmed that you are the first one to respond, go ahead and PM me with your address and I will get this out to you this week.
Good luck!!
Here's a link to the case:

I may be willing to offer up my powermat charging system, bought the trident case so now the custom battery cover won't fit.

Wow. You were all about the trident case, much like I am.
Is the hi-cap mugen battery really that good?

Yeah, I liked the Trident case a lot but honestly, I'm not even done conditioning the Mugen battery yet and I'm getting two solid days of use and then some. (I can take the phone off the charger in morning of one day and can EASILY make it to the following night before going back on charge. I made it to a third night on this last charge before killing it but I was being a little more careful about my useage on the third day.
Plus, I really like the shape of the phone now. Typing feels more natural and so does holding it for calls. The Trident case kind of hindered typing on the top row a tiny bit and sliding it out wasn't as smooth as stock...not really a big deal though.
The only downside is no cases other than a slipcase but I used my G1 in a slipcase with extended battery for two years with no problems so I'm pretty used to it.
I'd look into the peel and stick armor suits, probably the best thing you can do as far as protection goes.
I'd figure that even if it doesn't cover the whole new back cover provided for the hi-cap battery, you should at least be able to cover the majority of it, where you would set it down and stuff to prevent scratches and some general wear. It'll definitely protect what's left of the original casing, on the screen half and anything else though.
Probably have to break-in your leather case first, though, or risk pulling it off going in and out of the case.
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. .

Unfortunatelly I couldn't get that to ship to Portugal. That seller on Amazon.com doens't ship to my country.
End up buying a similar case (at least I think it's similar) from this buyer on ebay; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290945222818?var=590142602825&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 Unfortunatelly the quaility of the case is really bad and makes the phone look cheap. Also didn't came with a back cover for the phone so the doesn't fit well with the anker back base...(my bad didn't noticing that!)
Maybe Yesso cases are better, although I think so because the look exactly the same! But unfortunatelly I will never know.
Oh. and don't buy anything from this seller on ebay EVER! He's the rudest person I have ever met. Because I complained abou the quality of the case he started insulting me and left a feedback calling me "Crap customer.just a troublesome" after on a message saying I hope not to deal with you again.
Amazing, ebay these days!
Sorry the bit off topic there.
I wish there was other options for extended batteries. any ideas?
Joao.
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...

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?
