Let us know how it works out! I may be ordering one myself once the paycheck comes in!

I wish it thin enough to use regular cover, but it sounds great.

Eek...for $10 i'd rather have the two batteries + charger deal that is on eBay. Although not having to rip off a case and change a battery is nice, having a monster phone with no known applicable cases is the downside for me.

If it's anything like the Mugen extended battery, I won't be complaining. The Mugen increases the thickness of the phone from 9mm to 12mm. Not a big deal considering how thin the phone already is.
When I get mine I'll be spraying the battery cover with Plasti Dip, as someone in another thread did with their spare purple battery cover. Why? Because I HATE the glossy black - it's a fingerprint magnet! Plus, it's nice to have the rubberized finish - helps keep it from slipping out of your hand!
I have a belt pouch that I use that is just begging for a fatter phone - I figure I should be in good shape with it.

The sun has shined on this dog's a$$ - the battery just came! I ordered on Friday and it arrived today from California. I'm impressed!
It's not pretty - the door is fat and piano black - but I bought this for function, not fashion!
It was about 60% charged when I got it. I am going to drain fully then give it a full charge and start from there.

Can you post some pics of battery and cover on the phone? I had one of those on my g1 back in the day and it sure wasn't pretty, but it did the job.

Is that thing even pocketable? Yikes.

Yep still pocketable.. It may look huge in the pics, but in reality it's probably no larger than a G1 with one of those snap-on covers.
I'm using a belt pouch that I had as well that is made for an iPhone 3gs w/ case , fits in there nicely.

Just obtained mine as well today. Gave it a full charge and battery life has doubled for me. I can finally make it through a day of heavy multimedia/browser use without having to stop to recharge. Back is constructed well, not as cheap as my old G1 Seidio extended battery back. As far as thickness goes, it's still thinner than my old Seidio.

I'm sorry, but with that battery pack it looks like it should be a circus phone.. Doesnt look sexi at all.. I will keep the original

wow, thats looks like a g1 if I didn't know any better. I will pick one of these up just for times like this weekend when we went camping and had no where to charge up. Won't be using this for everyday use though, don't want to get laughed at by my employees who would have a field day with that.
Thanks OP for posting the pics.

Oh god, my eyes!
Seriously, that thing is HUGE. What kills me is that the battery is 2X the Samsung OEM, but it looks like it's more than twice as thick. I could deal with a bit of a bigger battery, say, expand the case to the point that the bottom hump is gone. I would think they could make at least a 2200mAh battery of that size.

The Fascinate's 2200mAh battery from the Samsung fits in the Vibrant. They just need to make a fitting back cover for the vibrant that will be compatible with it.

I just ordered the 3000 mAh battery from AccessoryGeeks. It looks like the same type as the one that you guys bought on Ebay. I hope to get it by the end of the week and I'll give you guys an update on how it works.
Edit: Still haven't received the battery...it shipped fast, even though it was back ordered a day or so. But ****in' USPS sucks gigantic donkey balls! Haven't seen any updates on the tracking since the 7th.

Platinum 3500mAh battery from Best Buy

Paid $70 two days ago, The first day using the battery without charging i got almost 7 hours use out of the battery. The second day of using the battery after calibrating the battery i ened up getting a complete day of heavy useage without any charging. Today i have been heavily using my phone with the newest Myn rom & Netarchys no-havs kernel with thecollin_ph battery tweak i am at 10 hours of usage and still sitting at 75%. To me the $70 was well worth it, a little high on the price but overall a great product. I have GPS enabled, and auto sync enabled.

Interesting, thanks for the review. I've been thinking about buying the Seido extended battery. Believe you can get that one online somewhere, case & batt, for like $60. But it's good to see there's options. I just checked bb.com and couldn't find it under Evo accessories.

It's there, just Google 3500 mah Evo battery best buy. Or something to those terms. It comes with the back cover, I believe it is made by seidio because the one from best buy looks exactly like the one from seidio, as the price is the same as well. Only thing is, no case. But a zagg invisible sheild kit will do just fine for that.

Yeah, Platinum is just Seidio in disguise. I'm running the same Platinum battery, and I love it. I'm on my phone almost constantly, and I've never had it run all the way down on me in less than a day and a half. I would highly recommend it.

I have the same battery and it works great. I decided to spend the extra couple of bucks and go to best buy just in case I had any issues I could just go back to the store instead of dealing with shipping the battery back

the awake time is pretty low so I'm not too surprised with your stats. I think you can still get better. is this with display brightness on high/auto as well?

I've got this battery as well and I went through the process of calibrating the battery yesterday. With data off and WiFi on I went from 3:30pm to 8:01 am with using just 22%. From 12:24 (around the time I fell asleep) to 8:01 (after my alarm went off for a second time) it only used 1%.

The back cover is not intrusive at all; in fact it protects the lense better than stock cover and snaps on tighter.

haha nice nice. i'm going home from school next week and i'll pick up my extended batteries at the same time. can't wait!

Picked one up today, calibrating it now
actually not as bulky as I thought it would be

I thought i might add in on the comments to say i purchased a 3500mah battery from amazon.com, i got the one from dailypc and paid 35 bucks for it. I know it may be an off brand but so far it has stood up and is holding its ground. I got a full day without charge after first discharge down to 0. Will get a better review of it in actual time stamp from full to 0 when i get the chance. So far it is well worth the money!!!

I payed 40 dollars shipped for my 3500 seidio brand new in box with cover off a guy on ebay, love it, called him up and made a deal, he said okay, nice to know right sellers online , just a thought though, i understand the bb and seidio are "the same", but for the same price why wouldn't you just get the seidio lol.

Because id rather not have to deal with shipping stuff back. And I have 30 days to decide. Plus I like dealing directly with a company. Although I use to sell a lot on ebay and I do trust ebay on some stuff but not electronics. ;]

I got extended battery for free from Verizon. It matters.

Just thought I would contribute my two cents. Like many others, I was disappointed (but expected as much) with the short battery life. I work 12 hour shifts on the weekends and it was a chore to keep charging the phone.
So I called to Verizon, complained and they tried to get me to go in the store and exchange the entire phone (because I wad in the 14 day period). I explained that I know that the battery is the issue, not the phone and explained to him a few things to prove I was tech savvy (plus, I didn't want to spend another two hours configuring another phone).
He said that the only replacement part he could send was the extended battery (which is what I wanted anyway). He sent it overnight free of charge (as it should be in the Thunderbolt's case).
I can honestly attest, after a week of use, that even with constant downloading/streaming, the battery does last my entire 12 hour shift without charging.
The only downside is the fact I can't find a case for my phone with an extended battery. (I'm sad that my Seido Innocase will probably be eBayed). HTC should at least had made a make shift case, anything that could serve as a barrier between my work hands or any table surface.
But oh well, I mainly gave up my N1 so that I could be grandfathered into Verizon's unlimited 4G network when tiers come out.
Hope this info helps.

I too have had the extended battery for about a week now and I am very happy with it. I work 10 hour days and I'm always near a car charger but I don't want to constantly have my phone charging. Like you said the only downside side is the lack of cases. I had to cut my phone case to make it usable.

Why not just buy 2 batteries? That thing is god awful looking... 2 batteries and a multi-charger unit = win.

This is for another thread, but the gist of it is once vz comes out with new tiered data plans (meaning 1/3/5/10 gb etc), the existing plan you are on will stay at the unlimited level.
ie: keeping your existing plan when it is no longer available is called being grandfathered.

In my opinion, I would rather get the extended battery instead of having an extra one. I for one, don't like opening and shutting the back plate of the phone so often. That is how it easily breaks......especially the tabs that hold the back plate.....IMHO...better off going with the extended battery!

This is a bad ass phone, i think the extended battery makes it look even more bad ass. Just my opinion.

I got this:

and with the extended battery, the front half fits fine:

I think the extra battery life that the extended battery provides outweighs the added weight/bulk. The battery definitely does add a lot of weight to the device though =/

Make a case. 20min plus 5.99 case on amazon.

Agree 1000%! The extra grip is key for me, because i generally drop my phones not super often but it does happen. I dig the extra bulk. Its really not that bad. Plus it works great. Gets me through all day. In fact, i purposely try to kill it at night because i wanna give it a good full charge while i sleep. So ill pull up angry birds and play for a while. Takes me a while to kill this thing, works great!

The phone's already so big and heavy (compared to anything I've been carrying the last couple of years), what's an extra 1/4" inch and 2 ounces...?
I was fairly critical of the extended battery until I bought one on Monday to see for myself the benefits vs costs (price in weight and bulk) of it. It's definitely big, ugly, and doesn't help me grip the phone any better (makes it worse for me), but after getting 31 hours (with heavy use for me) off my first charge, I decided I could put up with it. Today I'm down to 82% after 7 hours of moderate use, so looking to get about the same drain as original test.
The Thunderbolt will be my pickup truck; big, ugly, utilitarian, but gets the job done in all conditions...my Nexus S will remain the sports car; sleek, sexy, light-weight, gorgeous to look at. Everyone should have one of each! LOL

I charged my extended battery to full and took it out and placed my fully charged standard battery in and I believe it increased the battery time on it. It's lasting twice as long.... Might be a calibration issue aka software problem. Any one test the battery out of the phone after the phone says the battery is low?

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

I was excited about seeing this. Evidently made by Generic (or maybe just sold by them). Not seeing many good reviews of the company.

I bought it. Oddly the offer links you to this case: www.all4cellular.com/product/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-power-bank-external-battery-case-2200-mah.html
This clearly isn't the 3200 from the offer. Of course I'm going to make sure I get the one that retails for $79.99. For 32 bucks, don't think it's that big a gamble unless it doesn't function at all. But if anyone has any experience with these cases, please do share!
EDIT: Placed order on black one of these http://www.all4cellular.com/product/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-extended-battery-case-3200-mah.html

Agreed, I'd never consider using something like this on a daily basis. Only for long travel days or weekend trips, anything where you won't be around a socket for awhile. Obviously there is a compromise between size and battery capacity. I think this would be easier than carrying around a spare battery and having to swap it out. However I've never used anything like this before.

I took delivery and immediately sent it back. They were selling it for 29.99 and raised the price to 79.99 just to make the deal more appealing. That's all you should need to know about how they do business. Luckily Google refunded my purchase without hesitation.
Now, the actual case is incredibly cheap feeling and looking. The stand is dinky and the best part is the back says "Sanmsung Galaxy S III". Yep, incorrectly spelled. There are plenty of these on ebay where you can clearly see the spelling mistake if you want to look for yourself. I found a YouTube review that elaborated on how much of a waste of money it was too. You get the point. Don't buy this product; do yourself that favor at least.
After ordering I did some reading about these types of cases in general. It seems that they waste a ton of the battery capacity in transfer via heat or otherwise. You're much better off getting a bigger battery which results in similar thickness anyway. I went with a 4200 mah qcell (about 20 bucks) and have been getting great results. The hyperion battery is good as well. Both have many endorsements all over this forum.
Personally, I wouldn't buy anything through this retailer ever again. I don't trust their pricing or their products.
EDIT: this is in regards to All 4 Cellular, not trait-tech

I bought 3200mAh Rechargeable External Battery Backup Power Case with PU Leather Cover for Samsung Galaxy S III, only $ 23.90,I think it is a good Galaxy S III External Battery Case.

REVIEW: Anker Battery 4400mah Extended Battery w/Cover

Hey fellas,
Ive been lucky enough for Anker to send me a 4400mah battery to test and review for you guys. I've used their batteries ever since the Sensation days and I actually have a 2200mah anker for a spare on the S3. They sent me a Pebble Blue back cover as they do not produce the white one yet. I have a two toned S3 hahah. I just wanted to post pics to give you guys an idea. I will be draing the battery today as it came with 57% out of the box. I will give it its first run tomorrow during my work day. Here are the pics, I will be posting 1st run results tomorrow then for the next few days after that. These batteries usually get better after a few cycles. The phone feels good in the hand, not too big. I just ordered one of those TPU extended battery cases to protect the phone while I am using the Extended Anker. Stay tune for some numbers and updates! Thanks!

Im supposed to get one too for reviewing. But you beat me to it
Sent from my SGH-T999

Forgot to add that it does not say NFC anywhere on the battery. I did go into settings and the NFC box still could be checked. I don't know if this battery has it as I do not use NFC. I'll contact Anker to make sure.

UPDATE: 8-14 LATER IN THE DAY, SAME SETTINGS! I'm gonna keep WiFi off at home to see if I can kill the battery and post when it runs out.

8-15: Battery made it through the night. I did not turn WiFi at all on this first day of testing. I will do a second test on the second full charge tomorrow. So far I am impressed! 5 hours of screen time! Hawt Damn

Do you know how much thicker this makes the phone ? I am wondering what kind of case would fit this and also if it would still fit in a car holder.

Just double the size of the battery. Look at the pic I posted of the side view. I actually ordered a TPU case for extended batteries, should get here in a couple days. I'll post when I receive it.

Hello. Any updates on this bat? How it's going on so far? Regards.

I have had this battery for few days.
Medium use - online quite a lot, bluetooth always on, brightness on high auto. Same usage on my old S2 with 2100mAh would have critical warning by about 6pm on day 1.

I just checked Ebay for this for my Sprint. S3. They list AT&T and Tmobile but not Sprint. Will either of those fit my Sprint s3? Or should i just contact the seller?
Thanks in advance,

Not quite... the Korean market S3 (SHV-E210) uses a different battery than the international / US version. Also the Korean market Samsung Flip Cover will not fit properly on the international / US version. The curvature or thickness of the units are ever so slightly different, so the back plate will not click securely into place on the international / US handset.
But if you don't include the Korean S3 model, then I believe you'd basically be correct.
It probably doesn't affect most people on this forum, but it's a significant exception to the rule that should be noted.

What is the total tickness of the phone ?
Debating on getting this or the samsung.
