Mine arrived from Brando yesterday. initial response is good quality apart from the kickstand, which is a bit on the small side.
for something that will only be used occasionally it's not over bearing in weight and size

How bright are the lights at the bottom? Are they always on? Or only at certain times?
The case looks a bit thick in my opinion, but for a case that provides extra juice, I guess I can't complain

All the S3 are exactly the same so yes it will work on all US variants and international as well, samsung have not made any changes to their flagship device.

I found this for under half the cost of retail but I don't know if its legit or not. Does it look like it?

OP, have you received the case yet? Would love to see your thoughts on it or anyone else that has one.
The ebay link posted looks just like it. In fact if you look closely you can see the label Power Bank on the back of the case. Good find!

When I turn the case/back up battery on it overheats the external battery and my phone as well. Is this happening to anyone else? I have contacted the company and will let you know.

i haven't had a problem with it overheating my phone and battery but it does indeed get fairly warm. no warmer than if browsing the web on lte for 20+ minutes though.
btw. also have a hyperion extended battery with back cover and rubber case. overall i think the extended battery is better for set-it-forget-it use. the power bank you have to charge separately from the phone or you can charge the phone completely with the power bank and then just charge the power bank (how i've been doing it). i need an extended battery option 24/7 so the power bank is basically permanent just like if i had an extended battery. i like the look and feel of it better than my extended battery case (which can be alleviated) and i like having a kick stand again. i have the 3200 mah power bank and it has no troubles completely charging the phone from 0% but my buddy has the 2200 mah power bank and it never is able to charge the phone to 100% from 0% (usually 70-80%). guessing the leds and the heat generated when charging cause some loss due to some inefficiency.

Verizon Ext. Battery

Hey guys,
Verizon hooked me up with an extended battery and just thought I would let you all know that yes, it comes with another back that is about 1mm thicker, BUT this battery will fit w/the STOCK cover also!!!
Just thought that might make some folks excited.
Were you able to just get it from the verizon store or did u find it online?? Also how much is it? I noticed

It was marked 49.99 or so but they gave it to me free since I settled for a refurb instead of waiting... I figured It still has the warr. as the new if anything happened and having an extra batt. is always nice.
This was through the customer service phone line.
So it definately fits with the stock cover no problem???? Thanks
Anyone know when an external charger will become available? Such a hassle constantly taking out and putting in batteries
do you know if there will be another extended battery that will be larger and require a new cover? the reason i would like to have that is because it would fit nicely under the hump at the top of the phone and make the whole back of the phone appear to be flat. that is kind of what i was hoping for when i found out that verizon was making an extended battery .....

Well, this batt. is made by Moto and is rated 1850 or 1880 Mah. I can't remember, but it fits fine with the stock door.
And you can see difference between this one and the normal??? How long extra the extender give u

There have been reports of screen distortion when attaching the stock cover with this battery. In other words, it's putting a potentially dangerous amount of pressure on the internals of the phone. It sounds like the distortion is only there while putting the cover on. Regardless it sounds rather disconcerting.
Obviously Moto is selling the extended battery with a different cover for a reason. So use the stock one with caution.
Can amyone get a pic of the dx with the extended battery cover installed?

Externals are on EBAY with extra batteries already.
Currently i use a two peice snap on hard plastic case from bestbuy for my droid X.. im wondering if the new back door will stop me from using my case, if its only 1mm thicker?
The snap on cases will work fine with the extended battery door.

by the way, enter BAT30 as a promo code and you get 30% off!!
FWIW,
I was using my stock batt. and was going to charge it up before I switched back to the ext. batt.....
I charged the stock full, Powered down, and threw in my ext. batt. that was LOW when I last used it...
when the phone booted up with the ext. batt. it showed it at something like 70%.. WTF?!
So I charged it to FULL, and then took it out and set it in the freezer.... twenty minutes later I threw it back in and it told me it only had 50%!!!!!!!!
So, my point... I believe it might be who of people to try it out and see if they can't squeeze any more time out of their batts....
Good luck, let me know if this helped anyone..

I really am not sure, but my guess is that part of what's going on here is that the battery stats file is "used to" your regular battery and isn't calibrated for your extended battery.
Just a thought.

No that is terrible advice. Charge cycling Li-Ion batteries destroy them, not increase battery life.
@OP: The only thing you need to do is make sure you let the phone charge for 7-8 hours after you put in the battery. After that, no conditioning is required. However, if at a later date you notice your Vibrant is not properly reading the battery (i.e. it goes from 100->90 really quickly, but goes from 90->80 more slowly, etc.), you will need to calibrate the battery to your device by completely draining the battery and charging it. Take note that this charge cycle will not increase battery life -- it will only make your Vibrant read the battery properly.
BTW Would it be possible for you to take picture of how much fatter the battery makes your phone?
Where did you buy this battery from? Looking to get my hands on a good one.

Vibrant BiONYX 3.1/ brama
I got it from ebay and it fits perfect. If you have patience you can order through the seller below. Im in north florida and it took almost 3wks to get to me. Theres also another seller from US but he wants $30 for the exact same battery. He claims that the batteries from china are crap, he is lying. This is the seller he orders them from.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Extended-2800mA...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item20b526b7e9
Greatest investment ever. I might be able to take pictures tomorrow. Currently my battery is at 40% and have been running for 1day 3hr 17mins as of this post. And an app im using batteryleft from Eugenes r11 stats time left is 11hrs.
Under battery use through the settings. Displays at 60%, Voice calls at 40%, Cell Stand by is at 20% Phone idle at 5%, and I made a mistake leaving wifi on all day.
Size is really a personal preference. I adds the needed weight to the phone, and makes it extremely easy to hold. The Vibrant with original cover/battery would slip out of my hands when it was naked and the rubberize battery cover solves that.
I use my phone for music in my car and at work through default music app/slacker/pandora and now I can lay my phone on its back and the speaker is not blocked.
Ive had all my friends, coworkers etc look/hold it and they all like the way it feels and that it fits perfectly in your hand. All in all, im someone who is always playing with my phone and now I getting a little more then double the battery life.
My usually day:
20+ 5min phone calls
Playing angry birds throughout the day
20+emails
15-20txt
web surfing/tapatalk/xda app
watch some youtube
listen to music at work/car 3-4hrs
wasnt connected by wifi was on for most of the day
My Main reason for getting the extended battery-3g on ALLDAY
extended battery+r11 great battery life.
pictures, sorry there from my girls iphone4. Bic lighter for size comparison. Most people who consider phones bricks feel like moto razr to me. Not for folks that wear skinny jeans lol. BUt as big as it looks its truly not that bad. I will probably buy an extended battery with every future phone I buy. I was one who always thought ext batteries were ugly but now I am a believer.
If you dont have the patience, this is the same battery but always us sellers have to make a profit. He orders from guy above. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130448289815&ssPageName=STRK:MEBOFFX:IT

3000 mAh Battery and cover

3000mAh battery for our vibrants for around $22
Found this a few days ago, ordered one, and am completely happy with it. Battery life is excellent and the extended door fits well. The bump takes a bit to get used to.
Just to be clear I am not selling these and have no affiliation with the seller. Just putting it out there

STOP THAT! You are doing harm to your battery by "reconditioning", fully discharging this type of battery is one of the wort things you can do to them. Four times? No wonder it doesn't last long, you probably did permanent damage already.
Try to never let your battery drop below 30%, li-ion batteries suffer if you do. When you flash a new ROM just make sure the battery is at 100% when you flash it, and if you want wipe the battery stats to calibrate the phone, thats it.

As long as you can avoid it. It's a shame that so many people keep spreading that bad information in guides and such. Deep cycling batteries only worked for old technology that would hold a memory. Li-Ion batteries are at their happiest at about 85% charge.

Today EVO 4G Power Case
was Released and is set to replace the Extended Batteries that we know and love (hate) but with some loss of function "kick Stand" & "HDMI Out Port"

This would Eleimated this Problem for myself and everyone else.
If you Use the Promo Code they send you, You can get the case for $41.99 with free shipping .
The only problem that i can Foresee is the holster or case to clip it to your belt
If you can find a better deal Post it for the rest of us.

Can't wait for the review!!
Read the Amazon reviews for the iphone one. People say it drains the phone battery first and then tries to recharge the battery. Not sure if I like that.
The "No kickstand" idea is a no-go for me. It's what makes the EVO stand out, among other things.

Even at that point they don't really understand how the case system works.
The phone uses it own battery like normal but once its low the case will recharge the phones battery Thus keeping the phone charged and ready to use so you don't have to sit next to a charger all day.
to add on to what kratos was saying with the version for the evo u have the option to turn the case on and off thus turning it onceyour battery depletes

I'd like to know what you think. I'm using mine now. I had my EVO and the power skin fully charged and have been using my phone for a few hours and one of the things I've noticed is the power seems to be draining on both the evo and the power skin. My EVO's battery is at 85% and the power skin is reading 3 lights on the back. Is this normal? I thought the power skin was supposed to drain first then your EVO's battery? Let me know how yours is making out? I'm not sure if this is normal or if mine is defective. Thanks.

did you check that the green light is on after the power is unplugged
if its not then its not working
mine once unplugged the green charge light stays on since the power skin is charge the battery constantly once the power skin is drained then the regular battery gets depleted

In case you haven't seen the anker 2800 mah

Just thought I might post a photo of the Anker 2800 mAh battery and cover which seem to be a good alternative to the rather large 3200-4800 extended batteries.
Since Anker seems to be relatively well regarded, I bought one of these, but nowhere could I find a side view photo to make an intelligent judgement of size.
So here it is for all to see.
Well, isn't this really stupid. I just wanted to post a photo, but new users cannot post outside links. But there seems to be no way to upload a photo for others to see. Sorry folks. Try to cut and paste this then:
members.toast.net/designer/ebay/atrixExtside.jpg
don't forget the http. without the www
I just charged it today and my battery meter reads 1880mAh. However, BMW free seems to be terribly inaccurate on the first try.
I'll let you know what it reads after a few charge/discharge cycles.

I meant compared to those massive 3200mah ones that quadruple the thickness. I'm sorry if I didn't explain myself thoroughly.
but at 1880mah this isnt even an extended battery, they probably just glued two cheap chinese batteries together. just buy the oem replacement instead.

Looks like the free version of battery monitor widget only shows the estimated power on the quick stats screen. When you dig deeper, you get the REAL measure- That shows at 2664 mAh
OK, I'll buy that.
Battery has been in use all weekend (although partially tethered to my car power outlet when I used the phone as a GPS for 3 hours at a clip, twice) without a regular charge. It's now at 43%. It seems that if you use it as a full-time GPS, there is not much difference in battery life before and after you unplug it, since the phone is using so much power for the constant bright screen and GPS function. The GPS, BTW, works great on the atrix combined with the Google maps app.
I'm not a power user, but last night after coming home I surfed for about an hour on wifi and ejoyed the NASA app pics I downloaded for a bit longer. Also used the phone several times to check email this weekend.
Overall, very happy with the battery. Will let it run down to about 5-10% before charging for a few times to properly condition it.
Also- Neotekz- if you have ever seen the mugen battery (about 3/4" + thick itself, ) mounted on the phone, you'd find this battery rather small in comparison (about 11mm).

So that's a definite yes that I should buy it??
Little too bulky in my opinion

Does the new back cover have a matte finish? Or is it glossy like the stock cover?
Matte finish, nice deep black color, it fits really well, anker is a very good manufacturer and has done a great job with this battert and the back plate.

You think you could do like a YouTube review or something? I'd greatly appreciate it. <3
I just got it in the mail. I have been using it all day. You can't beat it for $15. Thanks again!

I'm really interested in this but I need someone to test it for me if possible. With about average internet use on 3g and about 2 hours worth of calls and some gaming and news reading..right now I can barely get 12 hours out of my battery which is weird :S I am working on that but I would love to have the extra bit of umph!
I have been using the anker batt for abt a week now. Nothing like having enough juice to last a whole day of heavy use. What good is a powerful phone that you can't use because you are afraid of running out ofpower?
When I first charged it up, I was trying to run it all the way down. I was at 1% for three hours with this anker battery!
The battery back cover feels a bit strange and you wont be using fingerprint with this battery but its small price ro pay in my view.

I received mine two days ago. I'm currently at about 31 hours on battery. I used to get about 14 with the stocker.
