Hey guys so this is a thread for all to post random cool unique things one can buy or mods you can DIY to make the E4GT even more spectacular.
Looking for stuff like unique cases/covers, extended batteries, battery doors etc
And also cool DIY mods such as paint, texturizations etc i know there are a few daredevils out there that have done some cool mods so feel free to post links and pictures. lets see what we can find!
I would love to find a metal back door!
Heres something cool that i found among an extended battery thread
Trexcell extended battery, said to be excellent for the price, and what do you know they also had the sense to make a a tpu case for it! i was surprised i have never seen a case especially for an extended battery
BTW they are on sale on ebay so i think you guys should check it out if your interested 17.49 for the battery + back plate and 10.99 for the tpu case
here are the links
Trexcell battery:

If i helped hit the thanks button!
This belongs in the accessories section...
Wow... I can only imagine what kind of battery life we'd get out of that 3800mah monster. And for only $17 bucks are you freakin' kiddin' me? Great find man, will definitely be grabbing that come pay day.

I know the Siedio is the way to go, but my dad is thinking of getting this battery and back..
Honestly I like the look of this back MUCH MORE than the Siedio, but don't know about the quality of the battery..

3500mAh extended battery, thats the best you can get at the moment, and let me tell you, this battery and a good kernel and/or battery tweak will keep you going for more then a good day!
Recommend a 3500mAh battery. you'll be amazed
I have both batteries. I also like the back on the ebay battery better, but it will not fit in the seidio car dock. I've noticed no difference between the two batteries.

Yea it does look MUCH better than the Siedio style.. I don't know why Siedio didn't make their back like this one.. But I am going to be ordering two of them from this guy (Guy is located in USA too, not CHINA)
I'll post back here with some reviews and pictures..
It looks like the fit of the cover is good, what about the materiel for the cover? I see so many that looks like CHEAP PLASTIC, how does this one feel? Like the rubbery feeling of the stock one?
THANKS
I have been wanting a extended batter for my dx but wanted a case that fit it right. Well Trident made that happen.
I have already bought this product and it is pretty nice. MY phone is pretty thick now but I actually find it easier to hold. I know a few people have also posted wanting something like this so check it out. Price isn't to bad either if you consider you are getting a good case and an extended battery.
xda won't let me post links yet so you will have to find it yourself. Its on cyclopscase<dot>com
Go to the website above, choose droid x on the left and then sort by highest price and it should be the first one.
t would be nice if they sold it without the battery too

Yeah it sucks when you already have the battery and want to buy the case.
On a good note though. WHen you're just at home for a long period of time, you can charge one battery and take it out and charge the other one. Then when you're out and about all day, bring both batteries with you and switch em out when one dies.
Well, the hard part for me is finding a case that works with larger batteries. Which is why it was a relief to find this, which has a case made just for the extended battery.
Isnt the Trident Electra Better than the cyclops? its 3200mh
*edit* nevermind.. I missread what you were looking at.
Trident is making the best stuff now
They passed otter box up ages ago
I would never buy another otter box product after I wrote them an email and they never had the professionalism to write me back.
They must be all about money and greed.
FYI , I wrote Mugen Power about making a high capacity extended battery for our Tmobile SGSii T989 and they wrote back and said it would release before Christmas. Im planing on getting one and will update the OP with a review when they release.
thats the same person i talk to and he/she says it be release in november...well its december..
That would be sweet. Battery life is already great on this phone given how it is on so many other android phones. I bet I could easily go 2 days without charging with a better battery!
A little FYI about Mugen Batteries. Check this out.
i had mugen on my G2 and it was good! and i am a power user, i can drain it in 12 hours, i use wifi hot spot alot but nonetheless it is worth it.

That's interesting, but what if the battery on the left was a 1800mAh battery, that would make it a 3000 mAh battery. I don't know what to think about the picture but I have used Mugen batteries before with good results.

that's the reason why i've never purchased their batteries,
it's great an all, they even include the battery door cover, but.....
there are no cases that fit!!!!!! when you use them, so that's a big no no for me

Probably not the most convenient but I stick with OEM batteries, they're cheap enuf on ebay and having 2 batteries works just fine. Also the cases fit fine along with the OEM car dock. OEM might be more expensive, but it's the real deal
I think AllGamer has stated this in a different thread already much better than me
The inability to fit a case with these extended batteries prompted me to import a T-Moble PowerSkin, at 70.99 USD after a 20% discount this thing should have came with a bj or something.
It doubles the thickness, i am not sure how i feel about the quality of it yet, it feels good to the touch but it doesn't feel like it fits the device tightly, and to transfer files via usb you have to remove the case because they did not enable usb pass-through from the case charging port to the port that connects the case to your phone. The thickness i can deal with i knew it was coming, i like the idea it was a case too, but it kind of feels like it fits like ****. like its been stretched out by taking it on and off multiple times.
Not that i can bother returning it, i'll just have to eat it. Shipping it back would cost half the price of the case, put in the value of my time to complain to them and im sure at least 2 emails/calls. What can yah do.
Can you post a link for where you ordered the powerskin from and post some pics?

They're customer service is actually very good. I emailed them about a blackfriday code 2 days after I made my order and they refunded me 15%.. today I emailed about not receiving the case and they sent me a replacement for free and said that if both cases come, I'm welcome to keep both
EDIT - Idk how I managed to post in the wrong thread lol.. I was looking at many case threads at the same time and I thought I was in the diztronic one when I posted this. my bad
OK. The title says it...
I've become a huge fan of having an extended battery pack on my Note. The battery lasts almost all day with constant use. It's awesome.
My only problem is that I hate to roam around with a $700 phone that has NO case. I even used a razor blade and cut up a silicone case to "create" a bumper to protect the edges. However this hack isn't ideal.
I'm using the Hyperion Extended 5000 mah battery and I'm hoping to find a suitable case or bumper that will work with it. Has anyone tried using the Hyperion or another extended battery with a bumper on the market? Has it worked?
I've read in many other threads that people are looking for the same thing... However no one's made a thread about it.
Please post if you've found one or are also looking for one!
Mine should be here in 3 days. Also would like a good case for it. If not, I'll buy a sleeve for it
How u liking that massive battery? Feel like getting one since they are under 20 bucks.
Sent from my iPhone 4s using Tapatalk
I really like it. The size would probably bother most people, but I'm 6'5 and it doesn't bother me at all. Just wish I could find a quality case for it.
I'm sure Hyperion will make a case for the extended battery like they always do. But they're always ugly imo. No case is as pretty as my zenus capsule
im thinking about buying the seidio battery door with the draco flare red bumper
i read that they compatible with each other but i want to be absolutely sure that they actually are since the bumper isnt that cheap..
so it would be nice if some1 can confirm this for me also a pictures are always welcome!!
Not mine but I found this.

That picture conveniently crops out the two corners where the bumper comes together so I would be careful using that photo as evidence of a good fit.
On a side note, I'm using the Draco with Samsung genuine extended and I'm very happy with the fit and how it looks. I posted photos in the thread for that battery.

any white covers available for draco?
Thank you for this thread! Been upgrading my s3. I like my tech to look good the way people like good looking cars. So I also decided to go with the draco. Overkill but no other cases looked as good.*happy to see how handsome your draco-seidio rig looks.
Wondering if anyone knows of a white extended battery back to fit with the Draco? The seidio extended cover doesn't seem to come in white or other colors (waiting on an email from them to verify).*
The one thing my kick ass Draco look needs (after finding a white back) is a kick stand. Does anyone know if the white mugen kickstand cover work with Draco? I suspect it does not - the Seidio has what looks like a step down near the outer edges which is close to "stock" thickness. The mugen is thick all the way to the edge. File it down maybe? I'm lazy. .prefer no modding.
Any advice appreciated.* White extended battery covers thin enough for draco with a kickstand* dont seem to exist. .. done lots of searching!* I would settle for no kickstand i suppose.* but really want white (preferably with larger battery than the Samsung brand extended battery cover which does look good so I may have to settle for that )
To see the mugen see their website at

Seidio does have a white battery cover, i did purchase it a few months ago i will look for the link when im home because you wont find it directly on their website. I dont know any battery cover with kickstand which is compatible with draco bumper
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
greetings! Thanks for the response! I love xda.
So after some back and forth with seidio they claim the extended door is available in colors even though amazon and their own site don't show colors. They say i have to voice call to special order the white or other color door. So this is great news.
Before I order i need to confirm some things if you would be so kind. Firstly, in other xda posts this battery door is the one listed as draco compatible:
BVY35SSGS3
However seidio's site doesn't return a match on this part number when you do an internal site search, though if you search via google you get a link to a forgotten page on their website with no image... interesting. This item is about 15$.
Now I also see this door on seidio's site:
Product Code: CSR5SSGS3-BK
Which is called the "surface" . is this comparable to the one listed above? it's double the price.
their site also has a kickstand model which I am hoping will work. I know you don't know for sure but looking at the screenshots they provide what is your best judgement? Do you think it would fit? It has the step down design near the edges but still looks a little thicker. Maybe I could still squeeze the draco around it??
DILEX™ Extended with Metal Kickstand for use with Seidio Innocell® 3500mAh Super Extended Life Batteries - Black
MSRP: US$34.95
Product Code: CSK3SSGS3XK-BK
Finally, should I just go with the innocell 3500mah battery they sell or do you recommend another battery brand to fit this door? I'm ok with not having a zerolemon 7000 battery.
I appreciate anyone's help
