Just thought I'd share with you guys. I saw a post by John.Smith so I actually ordered one and it looks even better in person. This this fits so well on my Captivate. It seems as though it's precision cut by a CNC Machine. It's almost an exact fit. I haven't seen any better for our phone yet. The texture actually gives it a little more grip so it won't so easily slip out of my hand. And I've bought a ton of skins. The material is extremely high quality. It's really easy to put on! It only took me about 5 minutes and now I have an awesome looking phone!!! I LOVE THIS SKIN!!! You guys should check him out on ebay. It's well worth the money!!!

Well... if you're thinking about upgrading to one of the extended batteries then one way to make it so that the battery cover looks alright with this decal would be to make one cut and have it be 2 pieces. with the pattern thats on it if you were to just cut along one of the lines and have the gap somewhere toward the bottom or the top it would still look pretty decent. I've actually been thinking about getting an extended battery myself. I might just order one tonight and then do this myself. I will post this pics when i do.
oh. and another way around buyin the extended battery would just be to buy another stock OEM battery. you can pick one up for about $12-13 now. that's what i have. and depending on the rom you're running you can get pretty awesome battery life. I'm running firefly and phoenix roms and i get between 20-35 hours out of a single charge and i never even have to use my spare battery.
Yes same here, I also ordered an extended battery. I just can't be bothered 2 carry an extra battery...too lazy...

ya totally. i think i've only carried my spare once because i went camping. well. if you like speed, stability, and awesome battery life check out the phoenix and firefly roms. you wont need the extended or spare batts.

actually it covers literally most of the phone. its way better fitting than any of the other skins out there so far. I've bought a ton of these and none of them are this high of quality. you would seriously need to feel this thing to believe it. the guy who's making them is giving $5.00 off if you take some pics of them and post them somewhere on the net. so really it doesn't cost much at all.

Does it adds any bulk to the phone? How thick is the skin anyway?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
.013 inches thick.... give or take thickness of a pube hair...
its about as "thick" as "thin" construction paper...

So, according to this, the skin Adds an additional 1500ma to existing battery?
Thats kinda cool.

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

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.

Heya guys,
I have the 2000mAh Extended battery kit.
I was wondering whether there are any replacement covers for the thickened battery covers the 2000mAh battery kit comes with, I'm just worried that if I break this cover, I don't want to buy the entire kit again, so I was wondering if there were any replacements you can buy online? I've checked eBay and other online markets, and wasn't able to find it.
If you guys know of any suppliers online who sells cool looking alternatives for the 2000mAh battery cover that came with the kit, could you guys link me there?
Thanks
Nicholas
Anyone?
EDIT: BUMPING AGAIN

Awh guys, at least most of the 226 viewers want an answer to this question toooooo~~~
if you know anything, reply here please!
I need one to asap i got a battery pack with SK cover...
Yep i guess we are screwed, im waiting for the price of the kit going down again.
send a email to the people who make the kit and see if they do any different versions? or if you could get some extra ones like you have, what about covering them in vinal, painting to your own design etc

There is practically nothing you can do first of all the battery is in short supply, and no one who is using it would be willing to give one to you.
I suggest you get the otterbox case put it on and move on with life.

I'd like to buy one too, white color to be exact

did you buy the black or white kit? they both look like battery cover is not glossy. I'd like to know too..
hopefully soon.. but 25pounds is too much for the kit.

If someone wants to swap their black battery cover(2000mAh extended) with my white one(2000mAh extended), let me know.
i bought the black kit because I have the black galaxy s2. I currently use a bumper case, so i don't want the battery cover to be permanently damaged if anything happened to it.
Just casually bumping it up again. To see if anyone knows

Don't really prefer using the phone with an open back, hate when tons of dust from your pocket goes into the phone and you can't get it out without dismantling it

i use mine without a back cover because i lost mine. its ok i guess, will prefer if i can buy one thickened batttery cover individually instead of buying the extended battery again >.<
I have a white genuine 2000mah samsung back cover to trade with a black one.

Has anyone got one of these? do they have a 3000mah battery aswell as the one in the phone? so like 5400mah all together? it seems like you keep the stock battery in then the 3000mah on this charges the stock battery when its getting low, I may be wrong though. It doesn't seem like it adds that much thickness to the phone well compared to the mugen 5000mah? The item doesn't really give much away really, so unsure of what it actually is.
Looks cool. I might get this
cool
and the price is reasonable

If the phone is dropped would there be any chance that the port on the bottom of the phone could be damaged? That's what I'm a bit worried about.

Cheers looking forward to seeing the pictures, I just want something for when I travel, not for everyday use really this would be ideal.
Thursday i bought a 3800mAh extended battery from ebay with sprint in the title and also on the battery itself from the pictures i saw. I looked in the description and it also said verizon in it and was a tad confused as to will it fit. For $15 i figured i might as well try it out and see but it gets here monday. I just wanted to know if anyone knows if it will fit on my sprint galaxy nexus properly? or maybe i will have to make some alterations as long as it works? link for it is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370639867086
Note: Battery also says i515(Verizon)/L700(Sprint)
Yea that should fit the phone fine. I have the seido 3800 battery and it Has a similar back as described in the pic.
The bad news for this battery is its a cheap Chinese made one and typically they are made of cheap components and won't give u what Ur expecting in battery life....maybe I'm wrong..let Me know the life of it.
The back of the case is slick and I found I needed the 3800 hardshell case to avoid it from falling out of my hand. You may need it as well.
The NFC function may not work with that battery...but Google wallet isn't something I find myself using much anyhow so no big deal.
If the battery sucks...I recommend the seido 3800 as ive been using it for a year and get a full days use fairly easy.

Well the battery came today and had 53 percent left on it. Currently im doing the initial first full drain and so far im already very very impressed! I can already see an increase in battery life. The door fits perfectly on both of the batteries(I ordered two of em) with no problems what so ever. Great so far
Okay im slightly confused, should i drain the battery first or charge it fully overnight?
