Double the battery and it shouldn't be too bulky on an already thin phone... I'll take one thanks
I can't wait for this
Looks cool!
How much are you guys willing to pay for this? I wont pay more than $45, I'd rather pay that amount for the FFC that works now.
I agree

I am such a battery junkie, I would pay $45 for double the battery life. I am thinking the coupon will give like free shipping for $5 dollars off.
This looks good, actually the only extended battery item I would consider.
can someone describe a little more about this?
does it hold an extra battery? does it have a built in battery that is 2x the capacity?
think i wouldn't buy any extended battery life w/case cause it makes it too bulky. that picture don't seems too thick but once u put it on it would make lot difference. and it beats whole purpose of getting thin sexy vibrant. i rather wait for actually battery it self. i heard in korea soon releasing the battery
They already have a code for 25% off and free shipping, using the code "CHARGEON" at checkout.

Battery itself??? What kind of battery is that youre expecting? 1650 mah or higher? And it's suppose to be the same size like vibbie batt? Can u send me a link or something to that news because i didn't know. Thank you

Doesnt seem like a bad deal. The my touch case is $59. I paid $30 for my case mate tough case.
It's an excellent deal. I've seen these on IPhone and they are pretty frikken thin, it's essentially all battery over the dimensions of the case so you don't have that retarded 4" thick phone you get with the 2300 mah batts. I have 3 batts and an external charger and it's a pain in the ass to have to reboot several times a day.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
Notice on the side profile pics that the backside no longer has a hump. You can gauge from there how much thicker your phone might be.

Has anyone been able to find a extended capacity battery and cover yet? I know I for one would be willing to put up with a thicker captivate and pay say $65 for a double capacity battery. How about you?
Thanks for voting, rumor has it this thread is going to be watched by R&D So please vote!
I vote higher capacity, but same size.
That will depend on what's possibly with current battery chemistries.
The Galaxy S has a 3500 mAh option out now. It looks pretty massive with the replacement cover though.

Holy crap that thing is huge... I think I would prefer to just carry a second normal sized battery around in the evnt that I need more juice.
Unless like others said, same form factor, higher output.. or maybe slightly thicker.. but not double the thickness.
Besides, the design of the back cover for the captivate would not facilitate a battery that size.
I'm waiting for the Seidio products.
again I wouldn't mind paying the price for an extended battery with a door that has a kick stand. Something like the HTC HD2.
ROFL! wow. when I saw the beginning I was all, whaat, that's not bad. not too big.. then I noticed it wasn't the battery you were talking about o_o.. that would be a veery 'uf!' phone. I wonder if they offer a full matte body kit lol

I thin i just got a flash back from the 90's when i saw that brick lol.
I guess some guys who like fat chicks might carry that fat ass phone around. I wouldn't be seen in public with that fatty.
I'll keep my sexy sleek Captivate and carry a spare battery.
hahaha, seriously. the second battery/case in the video had me rolling when i saw how big the phone got.
I could see a metal cover with a .5 mm bump in it to accommodate a larger battery couldn't harm the captivate looks too much. IMO.

larger battery but no bulk. It's 2010 people, they should be able to make 2000mah bat without bulk.
If the bulk needs to be added then the battery cover needs to keep the device looking pretty and not like an experiment done at home.

Personally, I want something like THIS
But instead of having the battery pack be so contained, you spread out the battery cells throughout the entire backside of the phone. You could have as large a battery capacity wise, but you wouldn't add as much thickness.
That said I know very little of battery technology, so I don't know if what I want is even possible.

yea its basically another spare, but u plug into to. so it bumps the battery up to over 2900 depending on what battery you currently use. and the other reasons this is nice is because its also case, and with the other extended batteries look ugly and have no cases.
I want to get it but I had bought the seido extended battery surface case that blocked the kickstand and didn't like how it sounded and this one blocks it too so let us know if its worth it or how it sounds
sent from DA BOLT
It seems that covering up the back case containing the antenna with another battery could result in signal loss. Do they do anything special to avoid this?
seriously only reason i haven't got the active extended case is dew to the fact that it will cover up my speaker. I don't care what anyone says It has to affect it in some manner. And why take away my kickstand ?
not to get to defensive but you can still use the kickstand, it can act as a "stand" for the phone, theres a video for it, its probably a lot nice then with it regular back/extended because at least this is getting a charge while using the kickstand, where as regular charge, not possible without some help from towels etc.

Just look at how much the kickstand itself muffles the speaker. This'll probably make it unhearable in a pocket for notification beeps.

damn, turns one of the nicest slim phones around into a brick.
can't they up the mAh without making it so huge?
I'll wait for a Mugen that doesn't require a bigger back. I had a Mugen for my palm pre and it was fantastic. It wasn't a huge boost but it lasted a few hours longer.
I'd rather keep a charged and ready to go 2nd battery on me for when or if it's needed rather than deal with that kind of added bulk. That's one of the 3 primary reasons we all bought this phone other than the fact its Android based.
1. The screen is big and drop dead gorgeous
2. Its fast as hell
3. Its THIN as hell
I wouldn't give up reasons 1 or 2 any more than I would 3.
P.S. Re reading this I don't mean it to sound like a thread crap. I'm sure there are some users out there who are jumping on this, so thanks for bringing it to their attention.
I don't need the extra bulk. This is the solution I would consider. Comes with a Samsung battery:

why not just use the Mugen 2000 mAh battery?
i only trust OEM batteries when it comes to Extended
besides 2000 - 1850 = 150 mAh gain, not really worth the upgrade
however 2100 - 1850 = 250 mAh gain, that is at least a decent quater pound over the original
it should at least give you another hour with 250 mAh
but 150 wont even last you 30min
according to the mAh consumption history of my phone, it averages around 213 to 555 mAh when in use, game or web surfing
iddle is 2 mAh

Here's why...
About the same price, OEM it is.
OEM Sammy has higher capacity, which is usually what they state. 3rd party batteries are generous with their numbers and tend to lie.

Agreed. OEM or not, it doesn't fit. I could rig a laptop battery up to my phone, that doesn't mean it's better. "but all you have to do is leave the battery door off and duct tape it to the back..." Um....no thanks. I don't care what kind of battery it is, if it doesn't fit, it's a waste of time.
Here's the extended Galaxy Nexus battery in my SGS2.
Can't tell you the battery life yet, gimme a day or two.
I'm not using the back cover, the Seidio Active takes care of it. Not a big deal since the case never comes off anyway.
peel off the label on the battery and take a Dremel to the back cover to make space. The case is thin, but a few thousands of an inch shouldnt hurt. you could possibly have the battery case down too if you're brave.
that case looks a touch heavy, how does it feel? whats the front look like?

i'm sure you can at least keep the better half of the batter door clicked in
while leaving only the bottom part un-hooked
and let the phone case do the rest of the job at keeping the batter in place

It seems to give about an hour more roughly. I did a little over 15hrs the other day (auto sync, BT, 4G, yadayada). I usually finish with about 14 normally.
YMMV, you may or may not see any difference.
If money is tight, don't buy it. I'm sure most people aren't going to go bonkers over that one hour.

I personally haven't tried that one but i have the 4400 mah anker and it adds quite a bit of bulk. Probably the same bulk as an otterbox. But trust me it feels a lot better in hand. And have about 5-6+ hours of screen time is so worth it. I know people that also use the battery as a back up.

I actually just bought one of these last week after looking for a 3000mah battery that wouldn't break the bank. I pm'ed someone that had a battery list, price and review thread going to see if they knew anything about it but got no response (Guess newbies are nobodys) or maybe I missed the pm policy.
Anyways I'm pretty happy with it I guess. It will get me through an 8hr work day faily easy but the S3 just seems to burn through battery at an incredible rate no matter the size of the battery. I haven't really put it through any sort of test so other than that I can't really say much. It will add significant thickness to the phone. If I compare the S3 next to my Razr Maxx I'd say it's about a millimeter or two thicker.
