This is true I tried it at the store. Most disappointing.
The Verizon Shell & Holster Case is what he is talking about:
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&archetypeId=12928&accessoryId=49886
The Verizon Store rep told me it would work with the extended battery and put it on the phone for me. When I got home I noticed that it does not fit correctly. The bottom of the phone sticks out further than the shell, so when you holster it, the phone itself will rub on the holster at the bottom. Not good. I'm returning mine.
which cases fit the phone with extended battery? i tried a couple at verizon and they didn't fit very well

I'm using the Incipio Silicrylic case with the ext. battery. It has a slight bulge but barely noticeable. Lots of good info here:

FYI - your link has one person saying the Silcrylic will fit with the extended battery and another saying it won't.

I've recently gone ahead and purchased two extra batteries (extended higher capacity versions). One 3300 mAh and one 4300 mAh. They both come with their own special (larger) battery back cover. This in turn makes the phone much thicker and no normal case or protector will fit anymore. I've looked everywhere and just can't find any larger cases.
Has anyone found or know where to look for larger cases that will fit S3's that have extended batteries? I really do need to find something.
Thanks

everywhere? really?
did you look here, where every thread about extended batteries has at least one comment including links to cases for the extended battery?
did you look on ebay?
did you look on amazon?

I just bought the following case. I'll report back with some pics when it comes in. Which should be today, or Monday.

Issue is that not all that is on Amazon.com is available on the .CA site too... that link in the posting helped and talked about the Cell and Hyperion batteries and cases... as for Cell..can't get any of those on .CA site but thankfully the Hyperion cases were available so I ordered that...it literally was the only larger cases I could find online...but at last its something. Thanks aka for the link.

Anybody here has any idea where I can get the Hyperion's extended battery outside of US? Or anywhere that does international shipping as I'm quite interested in it.
Wish there was a more protective case available then the TPU ones personally

I think you are looking for what is called a Power Bank rather than just an extended battery:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/PowerBank-E...GXCK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1345985658&sr=8-4
This is the one I am considering.
I've posted a few pics below. The only back cover that I could find with the Anker 4400 was blue so that's what I have on there. Can't really tell with the cover on. I might spray it with some white if I don't like it. I have a size comparison with my wife's iPhone in a Speck case. Not much thicker. I'll be carrying this setup around SXSW next year.
I have the tpu case for my extended battery but can still use my seido holster to hold the phone, works for me

The Hyperion 4200 with honeycomb TPU case still works with the Seidio extended holster? Do you mind posting some pictures before I place my order?
Nice case! I hope the one I ordered looks like that. I'm just glad there are finally some options available!

Sorry for the late reply, yes it does fit. Picture attached! Fits pretty good, is not loose by any means but it goes in and out as it did with the Surface Case for the stock backplate and battery. It goes in all the way to the bottom and the top spring clip holds fine.
Ignore the chibi batman box in the background =)

If you want batteries that list an MAH that could possibly be fake then get it. I learned my lesson ordering no name brand batteries and had a 3800mah extended from china performing worse than my stock oem 1800mah battery. If those are truely 4200 then they'll probably deteriorate extremely fast just like my generics. Stick with QCell they're still working perfect after a year for some members that have had it that long. Check the QCell thread. It's worth the money to get it instead of those since you'll end up spending money on one of those batteries and then again to replace it with a QCell lol. You can get the 4100MAH for around 20$ on Amazon. It might be only the ones with the white back covers that are 20 or black and the other is more expensive. If you do get a QCell and want to trade for a black cover let me know I have a Qcell black battery cover I'm trying to switch to a white one.
OK thanks man , so I'll stick with Qcell then, thought I was also want to get the texcell tmp or whatever the case is called, I heard the it fit the Qcell fine

A bunch of the guys that bought the Trexcell 3800mah battery reported having issues with it after like a month. I read a bunch of people saying that it wasn't holding the charge well. Check out the QCell thread its about 40 pages but its full of a lot of info. I read over it like 4 times no lie before I settled on the QCell since i didnt really want to get another fail extended.
Go QCell all the way I love it. Closest thing to zero lemon for our device. Do yourself a solid and grab the trexcell extended battery tpu case with the QCell. Just an example of my average battery life....

Is the the q-cell your talking about? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006TQOJXI/ref=mp_s_a_13?qid=1339468040&sr=8-13
The trexcell tpu case works with the q-cell 4100mah? Also, what do you use for screen protection or does the trexcell cover that as well?
Yes and yes. I have the privacy screen tinted protector.

One last question , and I know this may sound silly.. With the trexcell TPU case and Qcell... if you lay the phone on its back will it lay straight/flat? I use gravity screen on/off and am wondering it will work because I don't know since there is a bulge if the phone will lay flat or not ( I don't like to lay it on it's screen )

The phone lays flat on its back with the extended battery cover without an issue for me. It even has these little dots that stick out in the corners of where the extended battery is so it gives it a better grip when you lay it down.

Does anyone know of an extended battery case for the t989 that has better than 3000mah? I'm NOT talking about using an extended battery that replaces the original stock battery and requires you to modify the back of your phone, I'm talking about a case like this:
Cannot paste url because of forum rule...
Search Google for: PowerSkin for Samsung Galaxy S™ III
2nd result.
But instead of it being for the Samsung Galaxy S3 it would be for the T989, and it would have 3000mah or better.
Look in the accessories forum. There is one in thread about laza extended battery. A case that fits 3800mah battery.

I cannot find any good pictures to give me an answer myself. I want to make sure we are on the same page, this Laza extended battery case does NOT make you take off the stock back cover of your phone and does NOT make you switch out your stock battery, rather it is just a BATTERY CASE that slip over your phone just as any normal case would, correct?
No clue as i am not an owner of one. I saw it in the forum, it fits the extended battery cover. I'm sure it will fit the regular battery cover as well thou leaving a bulging void inside between the cover and the case

Look on Amazon. Its there.

So basically, there isn't any battery case over 3000mah that fits the standard phone, just all the extended batteries with the modified back cover of the phone.

Not saying its true....but I've never personally came across one. Sounds cool tho!
Sent from my SGH-T989D using xda app-developers app
I just don't understand why they don't exist in anything higher than 3000mah. I personally hate extended batteries, I know that this case solves the problem of making the phone level on a flat surface, but you're adding more width to the phone with the modified back cover, then you bulge it out even more with a case to level it; personally this sounds like a waste of money, and when you have your phone in your pocket, it will look like you have a brick in your pocket. Also, the extended batteries require more effort to remove than just removing a case. Thanks for your help guys. If anyone finds a solution to this, please post.
