Mine arrived this morning frmo Expansys...
Got to say - it is thinner than I thought. Another nice surprise is that it has an almost rubbery feel to it making the phone a lot more tactile to hold.
Some pics...

Thanks for sharing the nice photos. The extended battery looks not so thick but with 50% more battery. I wonder would cases maker provide case for Diamond with extended battery?
so thats the real deal from htc...not a copy
that looks beter than i thought
may treat myself to one of those next week
hummmm have to tried to take a photo with the new back on???
if so is there still the same issue with misty photos ?
Hi - yip - it is the official real deal one - not a copy. Straight from HTC (via Expansys).
The photo is the same as with the original case - there is still a piece of clear plastic in the case back. So, unless you remove this it will be the same.

Nice
Hope they will arrive Singapore soon. That's wonderful

Thanks for the pic!
From the pics, it looks like the back is not only matt, but also flat (no triangular gradients). Pls confirm this is true!
Yea.. also waiting for this to be out in SG.. if not perhaps in Malaysia, as i'm going over soon

Hi,
GPS appears unaffected - I used mine with TrackMe all day yesterday no problem.
The back is not flat - it still has the faceted diamond triangles. But, due to the mat rubberised finish it looks less angular.

To anyone who has the new back battery cover quick question before I buy.
Does the diamond still 'wobble' when placed on a flat surface? or are the facets level?
Thanks for any replies.

Yes, that's pretty much the same, I think.
has anyone found an extended battery in style with the MDA IV ?
I really like the "flat" backside of the MDA version and would hate to go back to the diamond shape.
Brodit active car holder
Hello,
Does anyone already have experience with this extended battery in combination with the Brodit Active carholder for the Diamond?
Before I decide to buy, I would like to make sure it will still fit in the holder.
Thanks.

Do you have a Compact IV already? If so, then the extended battery for the Compact IV (with the flat back) is due for release soon. Check the Expansys web site for details. This won't fit the Diamond though.

Would very very much doubt it. Brodit holders are made to quite exacting standards based on the size of the device being held. As the extended battery does alter this size, then I can't see it fitting.
Just ordered me one of those.
I hate universal holders and I hate passive holders. This seems like the best choice right now, since the official merchandise is still not in sight...
http://www.pdashop.nl/product/90916/brodit-active-holder-google-nexus-one.html
I have one. It works super. You'll be really happy with it.
Google is missing the boat huge on this car dock.
That's good to hear, MadFlava. I had one of those for my previous phone (Touch Diamond) and that one has served me perfectly too.
Installed mine yesterday. I love it. The cords are ugly but I'll work on that when I get a chance.
Yup, I have one and would recommend them too
Well, received mine today, and... my Nexus One does not fit??? It will not slide far enough over the micro-usb connection.... any of you guys experienced anything like this?
It does not charge now... and there's like 2mm of space left between the bottom of my Nexus One and the holder.. I've used force to some extent, but it just will not slide any further..

I'm new here so I can't post links but go to androidforums.com and search for the thread ProClip Mounting System. In there you'll find a guy (dbpaddler) that has a lot of knowledge about these mounts. He's a re-seller for Brodit I think. Tell him about your problem and maybe he can help.

Sounds very odd. Can you post us a few pictures of what's going on?
See attachment. The micro-usb connector in the holder is about 4.5mm high, but my Nexus One will only slide over it like for 2mm and then it feels like it is blocked by something. I've used force, but no movement whatsoever.
I find it strange too.. I don't see anything odd on the connector, nor on the female connector on my Nexus One. I guess I'll take it back to the store...
How odd. It looks like the connector is slightly left of centre, if you use the trackball to be centre... no jiggling will make it fit?
It may look a bit off-centre due to my photography skills, it looks okay in real life. Jiggling or forcing does not help unfortunately. Of course the connector that came with my Nexus One charger fits nicely, and I don't see any peculiarities when I compare it to the one on the Brodit.
Anyhow, I logged an issue with the webshop that I bought it from and they happen to have a brick-and-mortar store some 50km from here, so I may drop by to demonstrate my problem. Thanks for your help.
Do you have a body skin on the phone?
Nope, no skin. Going to the store later today to have the holder replaced, they think it may just be a faulty unit. Will keep you all posted.
Well, guess what.... just returned from the store, and the replacement holder that they offered had exactly the same problem. The sales guy was as astonished as I was. Personally he had not sold any of these, since the Nexus One is officially not available yet here in the Netherlands, so demand is minimal, but it makes me wonder if I'm really the only one with this problem, and whether my specific Nexus One could be the problem...
Anyway, he took mine back and I was fully refunded, so kudos for pdashop.nl.
Downside: still no carmount for me.
I have one too, it does fit but, I had to wiggle it a little bit to get it in......
It was not just straight forward. I will have a go tonight and see if it still play hard to get.
anyway once plugged, it worked fine for me.
We (both me and the sales guy in the store) used force and wiggled, but to no avail. Besides, I don't want a holder that needs wiggling in the first place. I want it to fit perfectly. That's why I do not buy a universal holder but a Nexus-specific one.
I got mine and it fits perfect.

does the charger model charge the phone at 500ma or 1000ma? can someone with one check the settings and see if it says charging usb or ac?
The Site is not in english. how do you guys understand what information to fill out when ordering? also can you guys please post some pics? with the dock already in place? just wondering what its going to look like in my car.
Hello. I want to design my own back cover case for my i9000 and i have spoken to a company who can help me build one from start with my own material but they need a drawing of the Battery cover with measurements and 3d pictures so the computer can scan it into the machine. Someone know where can i found one?
There must be some sketch out there, when there are many different custom shell on the web.
I have email Samsung support but they didnt sound so happy so I do not expect to get an answer from them.
Anyone know where to find a drawing? thx ..
May be this website comes handy.. http://www.the3dstudio.com/product_details.aspx?id_product=355348
I'm also interested in this so if this works out can you let me know if i can get one too?
I can't find a good replacement beside official Samsung which cost way too much for a piece of plastic
Maybe you can make a mold of your batterycover and give it to them?
site: mold-making . com
custom battery cover
im also very interested in this, what kind of company would do this sort of stuff? and where would i find someone who can do it?
im also very interested in this,hope to hear more about it
any updates?
Hi All,
I am looking for extended battery as few more people here, but I find this one:
http://www.handtec.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s5-extended-battery-kit-eb-eg900bbegww.html
looks like is genuine product, is there anyone who using this battery and could give me more details about life and about dimensions and maybe photos to compare with standard one, many thanks.
It is original samsung kit. Bought it 10 minutes ago. Will see if it add me more on screen time. will report later
Thanks for let me know, when arrive could you compare size how much bigger is to standard battery, and take some photos with and without cover on, to see real world examples as I spend few days searching on goggle an no luck about more information...

Will try to take some photos. I already have it, bought it from our local shop . Phone is heavier and a bit thicker. I could take some separately photos of back cover and battery. Don't have any camera to take photos then battery is in the phone.
edit: yeah this is legit, my previous suspicions are cleared now
I believe as is genuine product, it will remain same way as standard cover, handtec.co.uk have them in due: http://www.handtec.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s5-extended-battery-kit-eb-eg900bbegww.html, looks very promising as 3500 mAh was my ideal size battery for good 2 days use.

It doesn't say on the webpage, but does anybody know if that back cover still gives water and dust resistance?
I also can't seem to find this Genuine Battery kit on any other website, is this absolutely confirmed to be genuine?
I actually feel very suspicious about it because I can't seem to find Samsung making an announcement about this accessory either.
They made announcements about previous new battery packs.

and it saying: Waterproof feature retained, and is genuine Samsung product: EB-EG900BBEGWW, looks very promising.

Its genuine battery kit. Yes back cover still gives water and dust resistance + its harder than the original cover that comes with phone.
P.S. today charged battery for the first time. Will see how long i could use it till next charge . Sorry didn't have time to take some pictures. Will try to do it today in the evening.

OK. Found my work iPhone and took some pictures. Here is how it's look on the phone and some back cover photos. It's easier to give link to my dropbox gallery. Here it is LINK
Good morning, thanks for photos, looks exactly I was hoping for and not too bulky, I ordering mine from amazon.de as is only £24, in uk is £35 , and still will be send to me from amazon.uk as I done with few items before
Nice, i paid £31
I don't know if it's my eyes messing with me, but it doesn't look that much thicker.
It's not very thick. But if you look at photo there is camera, you will see that camera isn't popped up anymore as it is in original back cover. With this battery cover camera is hidden in cover. Don't know if anyone understood what i said . Just compare camera area between original back cover with photo from my gallery.

I am glad some people find this battery useful as for me is good compromise between standard and brick battery zero lemon or similar, I just hope I could find rugged case this phone with this battery fit in, as I really like tech21 impact case - but no chance will fit in, but for outdoor I am using NewTrent rugged case and I finding one of best case available: http://www.amazon.com/New-Trent-Ultra-thin-Shockproof-Compatible/dp/B00KB9AWEE, and reviews from over 500 people saying same thing, only I hope I can somehow manage to accommodate S5 with small extended battery in to this case too
YES! Was waiting for the OEM Extended Battery with all the features retained. As someone in the States, get the hell on bringing this over Samsung!
FYI, just because it says Samsung doesn't mean its legit. Samsung doesn't have it listed, and if you call they have no idea about it.

I agree with you. However, it should still be close to the listed capacity since you can tell it is definitely larger than the OEM one. Now, that doesn't necessarily speak to its quality. But typically the fakes like to list capacities much higher than the actually produce.

I believe is genuine as is attached on Handtec website original OEM number from Samsung, customer service-support many times don't know about product manufacture offer, and could be is only for limited regions.
Has anyone seen one available yet?

This is the first time I heard the term "E-ink case"..
What do you mean by it? Are there any case on other phone for referral?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-OAXIS-...247528&hash=item33f94660bc:g:JysAAOSwC8pb5xB~
In our case even if someone will be crazy enough to make some eink case, i think that you will have to sacrifice wireless charging, NFC payments for start. For now there is no point of making such eink covers starting from big price for this kind of devices and ending at fact that you must make case that fits only one model of phones and imagine how few of owners of that model would need and pay for this kind of case. On the other hand you can make universal cases with different housing that housing only would be needed to change if you would have different phone model, but still, compare Note size and iphone size. Better forget it and hunt for Kindle promotions
I'd like to point out the already existing LED cover:
It is model specific.
It uses NFC (for both power and control).
It is kinda expensive (but so is the phone).
Eink cover would simply replace the controller and the display part. Latter to a more expensive component than LEDs, but still not that much more expensive, considering that the LED cover is sold at 70€+.
The NFC on the cover does have an effect; e.g. wireless charging gets interrupted whenever the phone uses the LEDs on the cover. Other than that, one charge through that LED cover and I think reading NFC card also worked (but might remember wrong), so there is no reason to believe things would work differently with an Eink version.
