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?

I've got one of the Hyperion batteries. They sell them as a standalone product without the charger. The battery is about what you would expect for the $10 cost. As I expected, it doesn't last quite as long as the included battery, but it makes a good backup battery for when you need a little extra juice. The amazon reviews say that the charger is low quality, so i bought the RND dock off amazon to go with it. I'm new here so I can't post the link yet, sorry.
Thanks that's really helpful. If I may ask what kind of case or screen protector do you like?

According to reviews they get about 3 hours more...they're rated at 2250 mAh. Should be getting them Wednesday so I'll update when they arrive.
I always recommend getting 2 batteries and an external battery charger. I am never without a battery and just have to remember to pop a dead battery in the charger when I get home from work.
Honestly... The best battery for the skyrocket are the factory ones. Not bulging back and the mah is accurate. They are pricey @$35 a pop, but they are the best we can get.

I've got the otterbox commuter series. It's a nice case for what I need it for. Only thing is I have to take it off to use the dock or change batteries. Also best buy included an invisible shield protector on my phone (some BS policy they have). I never would have bought it on my own but it's a decent screen protector if you can get it installed right.

I was looking at either the commuter or, there is a seido active armor case. I got a decent .20 cent case to hold me over till I buy a pricey one.
I've heard problems regarding otterbox cases and the screen protector regarding dirt to be able to get under the protector. And the screen being scuffed if you ever cleaned it. Have you noticed anything like that?

Two batteries from Samsung? Do they sell a two pack with a charger? The reason l looked at the Hyperion was because of its charger. (Digging through the reveiws about charger problems people appear to be breaking off pins)
I like the idea of Samsung batteries since they would have nfc.

I have the commuter series case. It doesn't include a screen protector. But from the reviews I've seen of the defender, the speaker and camera holes are unprotected which allows dirt to get under it.

Please let us know how these are! I've been hesitating to buy them because they had no reviews at all for a while. (I see that there are two right now)
The brand itself seems like it's fairly well liked
Actually, this is the one I've been looking at... it's not quite as big, and has the two batteries + charger

Well, I received these batteries several days early...was scheduled for this coming Wednesday and instead they arrived this past Saturday. Fully charged a battery, and today is my first day using them, but I can say that the percentage is certainly not dropping as quickly as the stock battery. It's actually noticeable.
The battery fits well without a replacement cover, but of course doesn't include NFC capability...
I'm getting an extra 2-3 hours off of those batteries. Definitely worth $30 for 2 batteries and an external charger...

The Hyperions suck a$$... I like many others on amazon have been left with chargers that do not work out of the box, not to mention the batteries themselves, from personal experience don't last nearly as long as the OEMs.

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?

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.
Sent from my S4 using XDA Premium
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.
I picked up a nokia wireless charger, so now i need one of these inserts or back case.
I'm using my neohybrid case and i love it.
Ive read a lot of good things about "fone sales man ". Seems once you remove the sticker your golden and newer ones have that already done.
This is his for roughly $20.
http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Char...387541641&sr=8-18&keywords=wireless+s4+charge
But is this "smart tech" one a reseller of the same thing for $10
http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Char...87541733&sr=8-31&keywords=wireless+s4+charger
They look roughly the same but one is half the cost. I wonder if they are exactly the same. Does Amazon warranty this stuff?
I use a Qi receiver/NFC antenna combo like this one, so I can use non-NFC extended battery while retaining NFC functionality. Same thickness. Got it from aliexpress and it took a few weeks (some Amazon seller are overseas too, so keep that in mind).

I believe anker also makes this type of extended battery "case" you're looking for.
Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk
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.

Anyway eBay has a bunch. Whether you can trust them or not is a completely different story.
