I have (and absolutely need) the extended battery, and I have seen things like the sedio(?) and power skin extended battery case and juice packs, and I was just curious, which is the better option? Are there better options than the ones I listed?
I also need something that will protect my phone, as I just broke it and am getting a replacement.

Hey Guys,
Has any found any phone cases which cover the phone when an extended battery is installed?
So far all of the cases I have seen are for a stock battery unit. I think the battery life on the stock battery sucks big time, so I purchased two 3500mah batteries. They should be here any day now, but I would like to find a sturdy case like the cyclops case which was posted earlier.
Did you ever find anything?

My subject says it all. Face it the any stock battery is too small, and everyone is buying the extd. battery, so why the heck can't they make hard cases that fit the Droid 2/D2G with extd. batteries?
Does anyone know of a hard case that will fit it, it would seem easy enough to add a second back and charge a few $$$ more for the extra plastic.
Verizon hard cases fit. They have a hump on back just for that reason. They thought ahead.

Thank you. I actually found one over the weekend at the Verizon store. Crappy part is the way it cuts down on the space at the top of the keyboard. I will get used to it, but not a big fan so far, nor of the price they charge.
If you use any case with the battery door removed it seems to work just fine. The extra lift from the extended battery seems to be about the same as the normal battery cover.
I use my seidio innocase with the extended battery but no door and it works fine.

Which case will fit the extended battery and also will be able to be used with the multimedia dock?
Too bad no Otterbox cases will fit the Droid 2 with the extended battery here
I recently purchased the Qcell 3650 extended battery for my white Tm0bile sgh2, by far the best purchase I have made in a while. I can charge my phone use it as much as I want and i do not worry about running out of juice. I have removed all battery saving programs I do not need them anymore.
I do however worry about dropping the phone the back cover is a perfect match to the stock phone and it is slick seems to be the way it is with the white phone. Is anyone aware of any protective case that will work with this extended battery of of a case that one may be able to modify to work. I have looked all over and so far I haven't found anything I love this phone best one yet but the case options are slim.
You can find it on [email protected] under this description. It was 19.99

I have the same case and battery, and sadly at this point it looks like we either have better battery life, or a better protected phone. I have just resorted to getting a good quality holster for the phone. Let me know if you find an alternative!
Heres an ideal i was to happy with extended battery till no case drop phone crack money Stock phone ROM is bad for battery 1% by hrs ive just tried
ICS 4.0.4]:ARKSIDE.UCLE2::[BETA06
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658182
with no use 4hr + without dropping 1% with data off
if your not a rooter and flasher tmo should be dropping ICS in 8 days
case maybe looking to just getting an extra battery takes what 5min or less to remove case and put back on with new battery
http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Batteri..._14?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1337479458&sr=1-14
it work for tmo as well
you get Anker® 2 x 2200mAh = 4400mAh + changer battery non NFC
Someone found a protective case for extended battery?
Do you have pics? If you go to amazon and search t989 lazza cell extended battery case that is the only extended battery case that I know of. I just got the lazzacell extended battery it has NFC capabilites and is a great battery and I got the case for it as well it is great. And the best part is I used to use the seido case for my phone with the regular battery and it came with the clip holder and the phone fits the clip with this extended battery case perfectly!
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!

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.
Hi,
I just ordered GS3 and am waiting for it to arrive. It's T999L, but I figured there shouldn't be any difference in terms of extended battery options. I'm thinking to buy an extended battery, so I'd like to hear people's experiences and recommendations. I've already done some search, and here are my thoughts:
- There are extended batteries that are too thick to fit in the original back cover, but they offer longer battery life (of course). Biggest issue for me is, I'd want to use a regular protective case on my phone, and looks like if I make my phone thicker with one of those batteries, I'd have to order a bigger case instead.
- There are extended batteries that do fit in the original back cover. But, I ponder if it's really worth the extra $ spent compared to the stock battery.
What have been your experience? Please share
Thanks,
GT
I've got the genuine samsung 3000 mAh battery and it's been great. You give up no functionality especially NFC and I get over 5hrs of screen time. There was a thread about it and many others in the accessories section.
I suggest you take a look there.

Oh ok. Thanks for the suggestion With 3000mAh, were you able to use a regular case on your GS3? Could you tell me which case you used if it fit?
