Why doesn't there seem to be an extended battery with a cover that only makes the phone chinless and not chubby. All of the covers I have been seeing make the phone considerably chubier. From what I have been seing, the vibrants thickest point (chin) is 14mm while the thinest is 9.9mm. If this is so, the phone could support a battery thats 0.9mm instead of 0.6mm and still retain its form, without the chin that is.
Another question is, if your going to make a battery thats 10mm thick, why not take advantage of the head room and strech the top, that is, make the upper 0.4mm of the battery, longer, as to cover the sim and the SD cards.
This would add at least 1000mah.
I believe that extended battery makers are trying to refrain from covering the external sd card and sim card with battery. I think it also has to deal with the speaker placement and safety issues. I mean, it would be great to warp a battery around things, but is it cost-friendly? No. Its just more affordable to make one huge square battery than a flexible one.

For a 3500mah battery, that is one nice cover. I guess only iphones get molded batteries.

Yeah, iPhones have that rounded shape to it with no abnormal chin. I'm sure the cases house just really thin batteries.
I'm with the OP on this - I'd pay a reasonable pirce for a 2000mA battery, which would just get a couple more hours. Then the phone would just be flat against the rear curve.

Just some food for thought: I use the Mugen Power extended battery/cover and actually really like the added size. For me, it makes typing and holding the phone much more comfortable.
Oh yeah, and the battery lasts forever.

Why haven't we seen any of these on Ebay or for sale on any phone website? I would like to pick up a few extras just to mess with and make custom back covers but it seems as if we only have the one extra our phone came with. Due to the fact the entire back is the battery cover it lets us change the whole phone without a case.
I highly highly doubt that there will be additional battery covers in the future.
When was the last time a phone came out with extra battery covers a LONG time ago.
I know a lot of people would like them but it's probably not going to happen. Everything now is based around cases.
The fact that tmobile included an extra cover with the phone is great but rare. I don't even know why they did it.
I think he means more like replacements or extras, to mod or paint.

Yes or different colored batteries covers , im really looking for a stock white colored one i am looking into painting my own but would rather have one factory made.
I was hoping they would have this as well. I mean, they can probably fabricate it pretty easily. I would buy a rubberized back for 10 bucks and forget the case.
These are not battery covers, but silicone that goes over the battery cover. I have one, and they are nice. Not too much thicker and with a better "grip."

I like the glossy slip. With the white Korean phone maybe well get some.

thats ridiculous
doesnt even look that bad
I'll buy one if it comes with the back cover hell yeah.
Considering their larger capacity "stock" size batteries are not what they are rated at, I think I'll stick to my HTC brand 2750 until someone actually gets one of these and measures it out.
Not worth the premium price if you're only getting, say...2800 mah compared to what they are advertising....
Considering since it says it has "double" the factory battery, I'd be someone tests this out a few hundred mah lower than advertised.

These are a complete ripoff, dont waste your money.
Anyone notice the picture says 1500mAh.
Nice.....
Why not just strap a car battery to it...Maybe we can go back to the days of bag phones, and backpack batteries...

OOhh then my phone might actually last until i go to sleep like most phones do.
Considering how the TB uses the battery cover as an extended antenna, I think I'm going to stick with the OEM extended battery and battery cover this time.

hahahha omg nice catch 1500.... haha
sooooo bulkyyyyyy........
I stopped using my extended battery. It's too damn bulky. I was actually surprised by how good the stock battery is.

I don't get it. The OEM batteries are so small and thin. I just keep an extra one in my second pocket at all times.
That looks so stupid but I might have to invest in one because the terrible battery life on this phone makes me insane. Im even tempted to go back to my droid.

No doubt it's just a placeholder, since they didn't have a real image at the time. Not that anyone really believes it'll be 3200 anyway...
How can their possibly still be people out there who believe Seidio's claims about their batteries?
Available now. Seidio beat Mophie to the punch ....

Only comes with a 1750mAh battery , for the price seems like there are better routes per dollar, especially the length size it adds, but I suppose that 1750mAh in addition to your 2100mah won't be that bad.

maybe, but it keeps it slimmer than other options they already have with the larger battery they sell...not to mention I love the fact that we finally have a battery case with some front screen protection
(this and the active) and now we have 2 size options.
but 1750 + the fact that you lose some just in the transfer from case to phone is meh...will have to see how thick or thin this case actually is.
Im actually very tempted to purchase this case. I would bite the bullet but I REALLY just wanna see a review of this first.
---------- Post added at 03:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 AM ----------
Sleek case with our signature soft-touch coating provides scratch protection without adding much bulk
- Unique snap-together design makes putting on and removing your case easy
- Compatible with Innocell Plus holster (not included)
- Case includes a 1750mAh battery and slot allows users to swap out battery with a spare
- Included micro-USB cable allows you to sync and charge your Samsung Galaxy S III without the hassle of removing your case
So what I put in bold. Does that mean I would have my phone battery,the battery of the case, AND I can put an extra battery within it if I wanted to? If thats the case that is an immediate buy for me.
Got this in the mail a few days ago and decided I'd write a summary review for you guys just in case you're looking to charge your GS3 wirelessly. The kit includes a protective case that doubles as a back up battery for when you're on the go. The color is deep blue that matches the GS3 pretty closely except its done in a matte finish. Its a bit slick but not as slick as the phone is without anything on it so overall its not too bad. Has a button on the back that when pressed once checks the charge of the internal battery and when held down activates the actual recharge so you can juice up whenever you want.
From a protective viewpoint its not the greatest considering some of the sides are exposed as well as some of the top, not sure why they did it that way but its not great for face down protection. I would definitely recommend a screen protector. The charging pad itself uses the Qi standard so you can use it with the new Nexus 4, Windows 8 phones or if you decided to hack the back cover and insert a coil you can use it to recharge as well. They do sell the pad seperately if you don't need the case so thats always good. The pad itself feels great and smooth just like the GS3 does and the finish is nearly identical in color and touch to the capacitive button area of the phone. It only fits one phone at a time and obviously you'd probably like to find one specific spot to keep it so you don't have to lug it around from room to room or between work and home. I did a full review with a ton more details at the link below but that pretty much sums everything up.
Full written review can be found here: http://bit.ly/T4crrk

By the way, just found out Droidax is going to have a massive Black Friday sale with up to 75% off its accessories. Took a screen grab of the details.
I guess the Black Friday sale was extended.....you can buy this guy for $60 right now.
I dont know anything about electronics but.... Can an power bank case be modded by attaching the wires of the inductor module to the male micro usb part of the case .... http://www.dhgate.com/product/3000m...battery-case/140149386.html#s1-8-1|3772011264 I think something like this would be a good candidate.... or better yet is there a case for n7000 like the iphone ones that act like a dock with built in speakers....etc it would be even better
Note: if any one goes commercial with this ... I want a cut of the action..... LOL

I just bought exactly that case with modding in mind, as built-in battery is almost non existant. I'm waiting for Palm charging kit and soldering iron - will be reporting progress or failure as soon as possible.

After some dremel action and removal of original battery.
The hole needed to be a little bit bigger than battery, to allow some space for sliding into "craddle" inside the case without breaking anything.
With said battery for comparision. Producer claims it's 3000 mAh. I respectfully disagree, after few days of regular charge/discharge cycle this sleeve battery as able to add about 30% to original Samsung cell. Not good enough.
So I jammed in extended Mugen pack and am a sort of crossroads here.
I can connect to the cases old wiring another battery pack or wireless charging coils or maybe, somehow, both. Anyway, it's work in progress and at least my Notes usb port is save >]
On semi related note, this is tempting..
Any updates?
No update still now.
