Bulky like that and only 1300mAh??? I'd rather go for a spare battery (1650mAh). Definitely.

I have it for my Vibrant and it makes it about as thick as an iphone 4 . It protects it from falls and looks good doing it. 1300 mah is enough battery to get you through for 20 or so hours, and then you are going to plug it in at night. I dont know of any cases that fit extended batteries either.
And really, who the hell is going to carry a spare battery ?
Heres a couple of pics :

I think you should count standart battery + 1300mAh
Just got it now, and charging it.
Its not very beautiful with these "spaces" for the volume and power buttons, and the texture of the material used doesn't feel nice IMHO.
The mophie juice pack had a nicer fit on my iPhone 4.
Oh,
and while charging with the powerpack in place I already had 3 battery full warnings in 10 minutes.
Update: It keeps beeping during charge every few minutes with powerpack in place, removed the powerpack in order to silence the phone.
I think it makes the powerpack useless with this full charge warnings, unless you are deaf.

I have it and it's not doing it too often, more like once every hour or so.
But yeah it's annoying, prolly why my local distro is discontinuing import of the case in lieu of the supposedly coming official 2000mah extended battery with cover.
Ok, next problem....
powerpack is fully charged (blue light)....
Put my phone in, after a while it beeped fully charged........
Now the powerpack it doesn't seem to charge the phone anymore, and the phone keeps telling me I need to remove the charger......
So I disconnected and reconnected the powerpack, and now its charging again, but the above happened again... And the "remove charger" notification cannot be removed... unless you remove the powerpack from the phone.
Until now this powerpack seems like a miserable piece of (ugly) junk, and although its a genuine Samsung thing, phone and powerpack don't work together....
The issues I've read here are a deal breaker for me. I'm cancelling my order for the battery pack.
The 2000 maH model is confirmed or just a rumor?

Is there an external charger available for Universal battery.
My old battery shuts down at 34% of power,hence I've purchased a new one.I am a 'heavy' user so I just thought it would be better if there were any external charger available for the spare battery.

Hmmmm... I'd be interested in this too. Use a second battery for emergencies when travelling and it's a pain in the arse swapping them and trying to fully charge them both before setting off.
got my battery and the charger from this guy...appox 10.5$ for both
http://myworld.ebay.com/lifestyle0806
That's a pretty good deal, but...
...looking specifically for some kind of cradle charger just for the battery so you can drop it in and charge without it being in the phone... think that's what kalya is after too...
i mean i got the battery and desktop charger for 10.5$...if you need pics or any other info let me know

Man, that's sweet... I'm sold. Just wondering how the battery performs? Is it an official one cos it looks like it?
Ah, well, I bought one anyway... I'm willing to pay that just for the charger, and fallenczar, if you say he's a good seller, that's good enough for me. Many thanks.

well the battery in the pic is the original one...the new battery is SUPERB...this is a pretty handy thing...charges the battery real quick...the only thing you have to be sure of is that you have to put in your charger into the mini-usb port of this charger with a little force as it is quite hard...and the led takes a couple of sec to show the charging indicator

Thank you both,fallenczar and spydertracks.It's exactly what I want.Your 'little' discussion answers all questions,thanks again.
One alternative worth considering is http://www.gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=4970 which will allow around four or five full charges to the Universal, I have been using the slightly smaller capacity pack for quite a while. Very handy when using the 3G connection, just keep it plugged in to the phone and it tops off the battery - Mike

That looks scary similar to the Mophie Juicepack Air case for iPhone.
I'd be concerned about the quality, though, especially at that price. And there's no way you'll find a review on that.

Thanks +
been waiting for something like this
but with 3000mAh or more,
Im sure there will be more soon
I have similar but for my Note & better
cos mine is slimmer & doesnt have that Snap top
so can pull it out faster & is slim on the top
& it claims 3000mAh battery on it
but gives me only 70% of refill charge
Note has 2500 & case 3000 still doesnt give one full charge
yours has 2200mAh battery & S3 has 2100mAh on it
wonder how much more juice it will give
Also the lights on bottom get anoying aftre a while
wish it was behind the case
True that, but might get one anyway, as I also have an external power pack and a replaceable battery.
But never thought of those things, thanks for the input
Edit:
thought what the heck and bought one, doesn't exactly cost much. When I get it ( in about two weeks! ) I'll do a little review on it like how much of the battery it can charge etc.
Was thinking about the capacity but I wouldn't want anything much bigger than that tbh

then charge it with Power case
& see it charges the phone how much, 60/70/80%
On my Note it was just 60/70% not a full charge
I'll never understand why people go this route instead of just carrying a spare battery. It makes your phone look like the hunchback of notre dame.

nice one
Recieved one on the 2200mAh cases yesterday (Power Bank).
(link: h**p://***.ebay.co.uk/itm/2200mAh-Backup-Battery-Charger-Power-Bank-Case-Cover-For-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-I9300-/280916343518?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4167eb3ade)
Charged it up (came about 2/3 full) and then let my S3 run down to flat (quite hard now I'm getting 20 to 22 hours out of it).
Started charging and it got to about 50% in 3 hours before it ran out..
Considering the phone was on and, based on previous discharge rates, was using about 5% an hour, the total charge was about 65% (if i'm being generous).
65% of an S3 battery @ 2100mAh = 1365mAh.....
Not too bothered at the cost (or size - S3 is way too thin as standard for my liking), but was hoping for a lot more from it..... For the bulk it adds, and the fact that you can't sync or charge the phone while the case is on, is a big negative for me....
Maybe my hopes were too high having come from iPhone battery cases which almost lived up to their advertised power ratings as well as allowing you to charge case & phone at the same time and sync through the case....
Just thought I'd share my findings...
Hope it helps others looking for a similar case.
I like the heftier size of the phone after fitting the extended battery, fits my hands much better. I hope that they come up with a flipcase though because obviously the original won't fit anymore. I don't understand people who just buy a case for the back because you can buy another back very easily. The front however is a different question. If you don't protect the glass, it will scratch and can even shatter when you drop the phone.
As often as I am checking/using my phone, it's not worth it to me to get a flip case. I would go mad having to flip it open countless times an hour. A good back case will also (albeit slightly) protect the front

That looks nicer than most of the battery cases out there, but man the price is definitely gonna have people running away.
DO NOT buy this thing. The battery discharges at the same time as the internal battery. It's not like the mophie where you can turn the external battery on when you need it. It's a silly concept to have both batteries discharge immediately after disconnecting from a power source.

Actually, that is BETTER. the float would be better, and equal MORE power than trying to recharge a battery with a battery. (hence why normal el-cheapo battery cases have such crappy performance.) trying to discharge both at the same time will let you use all of both batteries, but trying to charge one batt from the the other makes you hit a wall, where you can't discharge any more (when they even out).

HOW does this make any sense? The idea of having a backup battery is that you can turn it on when your main battery runs down. Otherwise, you've got 2 batteries draining at the same time and running out at the same time. I had the original case from this company for my Evo, I returned it after three days. Their entire design/thought process is flawed.
Look at how a mophie works, you can turn it on WHEN the internal battery runs low to keep going. THAT makes sense. Not discharging both batteries simultaneously. Just means you're carrying around a spare paperweight.
LoL, your both wrong.
It's still as ineffective as charging when the main battery is dead it's still serving the same function....
And just cause both batteries discharge at the same time doesn't make it a paperweight..it's still going to add the same amount of life as an equivalent battery pack with a switch....
Having a switch means you can choose when to use it though...meaning you can kill your phone and leave it dead for two hours and then flip the switch....but realistically most people in most circumstances aren't doing that, but it's a nice option

quite frankly...
if its anything like the S2 case....then its worthless....
it's too thick and too expensive for what it offers...and they really could do a better job at fitting a case on these things.
I really can't help but wonder why someone can't come up with a good, sleekly designed battery case that offers solid protection and stays on the phone well...
seidio is getting pretty close to doing so imo though....
not too fond of the mophie, looks like no screen/lip protection at all.
I used the powerskin for my nexus and it worked well enough that I was looking forward to this being released. That being said it is way too thick, but I almost never had to worry about my battery being able to last.

I saw the case, AT&T sells it.
I really liked it. And, it's got charge and sync, a on/off switch AND NFC.
According to them, they are the first NFC enabled case.
I have a PowerSkin for my Inspire, but my Inspire is not the best phone--having some OS issues. I'm thinking of upgrading to a GSIII, so having a powerskin for that makes me want to upgrade even more.
In my book, it's a WIN!!!:good:
1500mAh for 79.99?

First off, if it was always on, all it is going to do is charge your main battery while your phone is using it. So say your phone drains your main from 100 to 90. The pack will just charge the internal back from 90 to 100 essentially keeping you at 100% longer.
Pretty much what would happen is the pack would drain out first then your main battery after that's depleted because the pack is no longer charging it.
Secondly, the site says it has an on off switch. Just hold it for 2 sec to power it on or off.

How is the camera more susceptible to damage? Its no longer laying on the lens when you lay the phone on its back making it less susceptible to damage. ? It is a bit on the pricey side for the meager 1500mah battery it contains.. I'd pay $50 for one tops and that only because it has NFC.
Actually the case doesn't look that bad but damn the price

URL was gonna be here but I cannot post it.. (long time lurker, been around sice my CDMA hero, first thread post)
First review; try not to bash/flame too badly.
I got the extended batttery with a white back plate(comes with battery) from Hyperion.
The product shipped and was delivered on time (in the mailbox; not UPS or door delivery).
The battery comes with a little pamplet that tells you how to effecitvely use the battery by completely charging and discharging the battery several times.
All in all I am very happy with this product. They battery life lasts me approx. 30 hours with reasonable usage (bluetooth media streaming, constant texting, occasional phone calls, and overall playing in general) after 3/4 charge cycles. The back plate is practically seamless and does not look aftermarket.
The ONLY problem I have had with this product is the back plate has a few stress fractures from removing/replacing it so much. there is also a pretty large crack that extends from the charge port upwards. I reoprted this to Hyperion via email seconds after it happened and they replied within five minutes to notify me that my new (and FREE) replacement back was on it's way and that I did not need to send back the old case.
I now realize that if you are particular about how you take it off (slowly peel it off around the edges, in a circle, rather than lifting one end and just pulling up and away) you can preserve the latches.
[EDIT]Now that I've had this battery for awhile I have, unfortunately, stumbled upon a deal-breaker. The thickness of the battery of course means a bigger back plate. Hyperion made the camera, flash, and speaker slots quite deep because of this and as a result; the flash doesn't diffuze quite right, sound is (very mildly) effected, and last but definitely the worst: in the right lighting, the back plate creates a "haze" effect around some pictures.
When I was doing initial research into this bad boy I remember seeing an extended battery that did away with the thickness near the camera, speaker, and light that should preserve the aforementioned features. I hope this saves somebody a few buck and a bit of frusteration![EDIT]
Just a quick question - why are you needing to remove the backplate so much? I'm hoping it's not to charge the phone.
I should be getting my battery and cover today!

Mostly just for soft resets to troubleshoot various problems, especially Wireless Tether for Root Users. Doesn't play nice with CM10 -- M2. lol

With hyperion 4200, it needs to be charged fir 12hrs. For first time. Then afterwards go through 3-5 full cyckes for optimal results. But I can say even on first charge battery life is great. Im about to be on my 3rd. Cycle. I unplugged my phone yesterday at 6a.m.(worked overtime). Havent plugged it back up since. Battery showing over 28hrs. Of moderste use and I still have 70% battery left. No power savings tricks either. Running max power with auto brightness.
Follow instructions for battery for best results. It comes with battery. This battery is performing great for me so far. I highly recommend it. Back vover fits well also.

Well the thickness of the battery itself is no more than 1/4 an inch, maybe more. The thickness of the phone however, with the back plate on, is around about double the original thickness with the stock battery/back plate. I'd put it close to 1/2 an inch.
My ? Is when I first get my battery do I just run it till I get to 5% before I do the charge cycle
And what the proper way to insure I don't kill a cell

About the back cover breaks
Have you considered adding a Seidio back cover only - I hear they're really good. I have ordered but not tried it yet.

Thanks for a good review.
I am on my 2nd case and want to know if this is normal use or not. I use my phone without the mophie until it's almost dead. I then use the mophie and it charges the phone for maybe 2 hours and the mophie is dead. The phone will have around 75% battery after that 2 hours. I understand the case to work as the main battery when in use so I would think it should be lasting about as long as my phone's battery. Is this right or wrong?

So the Mophie is only giving you a charge up to 75% battery life when the phone is nearly dead? If so that is odd. I ran my phone down to about 40-50% battery, flipped the Mophie switch and it charged it right up to 99% and I still had 3 lights indicating 75% of the mophie was available. So that is odd.
Are you using the phone while the Mophie is charging it? If so, then you could be reducing the charge rate, just a though.
I'd be careful. I exchanged my case today because I was having an issue where my case would become unresponsive and cut out. If I charged the case for even a second or so, I could press the battery button, see there was still charge left (often 50-75% even), and resume charging my phone. Wash, rinse and repeat in various cycles of time. You can test this by trying to charge the case briefly after it dies. Some units are just defective, which is sad with a $100 case.

Not usually, I get the same results while using or if it is sitting untouched.

This is exactly what I have to do. The first case did the same. Will be returning this one for a 3rd and last case.
Thanks for your help.

What about protection, is it good?

I have to say I fully charged my phone and Mophie together over night and went to recharge my phone when it got down to about 40% again and the Mophie only charged it to 75% this time before it went to zero. So I think there is something odd with it indeed. I am returning mine as defective and getting a new one.
where can I get this case, any one please share the link for UK,
I checked Amazon.co.uk and found it there http://www.amazon.co.uk/2374_JP-HTC...qid=1372698105&sr=8-2&keywords=HTC+One+Mophie and it says it's in stock.

Mophies are expensive. There are some lower-cost (significantly so!) alternatives though in this forum that look pretty good-- you could check those out?
My exchanged case has been performing well so far (five days in). Here's hoping it lasts.
