As the title says, I'm looking to get a nice combination of bumper+mega battery.
I quite like the Sweet Armor posted at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422752
I'm still very much open to suggestion regarding the battery, but I'm looking at http://www.momax.net/en/Product_Show.aspx?ID=1565&T=1
So yeah, I'm open to suggestion - size, weight and bulk are absolute NON-ISSUES. I like a big heavy phone for my big hands. They just gotta fit together.
Many thanks!
My recommendation is to buy the official Samsung extended battery.
The aftermarket ones tend to get hot, melt, explode and make the babbies cry.

I was kinda thinking the same after reading the reviews for the aftermarket batteries. Thanks!
Now, I have yet to get a definitive answer whether the sammy 2000mah battery fits in the Otterbox Commuter case. The case compatibility thread has some minor details, and a half-assed 'yes-maybe'. Pic of phone & case:

I've got a original samsung 2200mah battery
edit: seems to be afake battery, not that I expected something different for a clone galaxy s2 lol
i have just ordered this one http://www.flagshipfones.co.uk/batt...sung-galaxy-s-ii-s2-2600mah-cs-smi9100hl.html It should actually be here today, i hope it doesnt explode or i will cry!
Well, my extended battery arrived and i almost cried at the sheer size of the thing.... it's actually thicker than the actual device! WTF! the tatty back cover doesn't even fit properly! needless to say, the think will be getting returned! i think the official route will be the best one!!

I'm asking about this because the red evo one would fit on the g2, so just wanted to know if it's the same case with this battery also, seems like a good deal.
I wouldn't suggest putting a battery that wasn't designed for your device in it. I tried that once with my G1 and it instantly shorted out when attempting to charge it.

I Agree....
Ive been running a EVO 1800mah battery in my G2 since October and still going strong, so have a ton of other people. There are several threads in the accessories section all about this and other batteries that work and work well with the G2.

It hasn't got 2000 mAh by far but still gave me, after the 4 first full charges, about 30% more capacity then the stock battery, which makes for about 1700 mAh if the stock has exactly 1300 mAh. Nice for $ 7 with shipping.
Unsanded/unmodded this battery won't fit and the lid won't close properly.
After removing the wrapper and sanding the right corner and some black plastic in the bottom of the battery the lid still wouldn't fit properly.
When the battery is seated the bottom left corner has the most height, i just cut away the plastic there and now the lid fits fine.
Looks terrible, but the battery still works fine.

thats ridiculous
doesnt even look that bad
I'll buy one if it comes with the back cover hell yeah.
Considering their larger capacity "stock" size batteries are not what they are rated at, I think I'll stick to my HTC brand 2750 until someone actually gets one of these and measures it out.
Not worth the premium price if you're only getting, say...2800 mah compared to what they are advertising....
Considering since it says it has "double" the factory battery, I'd be someone tests this out a few hundred mah lower than advertised.

These are a complete ripoff, dont waste your money.
Anyone notice the picture says 1500mAh.
Nice.....
Why not just strap a car battery to it...Maybe we can go back to the days of bag phones, and backpack batteries...

OOhh then my phone might actually last until i go to sleep like most phones do.
Considering how the TB uses the battery cover as an extended antenna, I think I'm going to stick with the OEM extended battery and battery cover this time.

hahahha omg nice catch 1500.... haha
sooooo bulkyyyyyy........
I stopped using my extended battery. It's too damn bulky. I was actually surprised by how good the stock battery is.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaTO8_KNcuo
I don't get it. The OEM batteries are so small and thin. I just keep an extra one in my second pocket at all times.
That looks so stupid but I might have to invest in one because the terrible battery life on this phone makes me insane. Im even tempted to go back to my droid.

No doubt it's just a placeholder, since they didn't have a real image at the time. Not that anyone really believes it'll be 3200 anyway...
How can their possibly still be people out there who believe Seidio's claims about their batteries?
Extended Battery with covers have started to show up on the ebay UK website. SO hold on to your quids and for all those who are not patient enough to drop by here is the link with the picture >.
Are you buying one ?? I did. Here are the updated pics . Battery life review, actual capacity and battery charge time ... sooooooooooooooooooooon
Enjoy the pics ... Video and review coming soon.

Although, these are quite cheap don't feel like going to buy one. May be u should buy first and then give us some feedback? That'd be nice
Wow, that's going to be about 2.2 times fatter than the original phone! LOL! Heck no!
lol @ alright then will order one for me.
well they say if u want more juice you'll have to shell more quids. lol but i think this is not the case here
I'll bite.
hold your horses. these two sellers look a bit cheeky to me, they have recently changed thier product pictures and more or less they look the same. however also they have hidden the battery mAH what for ???
These are 100% fake, you will be very lucky if there not less than the original, do not be conned.
I will buy one.
Looking at the price and pics it seems to be fake and I am afraid that they might explode or overheat over the period of time.
ouch that's one ugly case back cover!
Yeh looks cheeky to me but have to be buy one. Excited !!!!

Can't go wrong with 'economy delivery' lol. Can't wait to hear your reviews once you get it. At least you'll have an extra battery cover if the battery melts
Hah, I wonder if it would turn your phone into a heater. Especially when charging.

I like this quote:
"Best replacement for the original battery with comparable standby and talk time."
For a 3500 MaH battery, I'd hope it'd be a BIT more...

just google the title of the thread and ull find a couple of shop
seems kind of sketchy... i did a quick look around on it and can't really find anything about warrenty, returns or one single review :S personally i would not risk it. that's just imo.
What ever it is, the concept is nice. I would love to get such a cover if that really exists...cover + external batery with Off/On option is a great idea...
Look for 'EEB-U20BBUG' Samsungs original battery case for I9100.
Btw, this doesn't fit with the extended battery.

the samsung one is only 1300 mah...
but does it work with the extended 2000 mah battery
Hmmm ,I'm pretty sure I've seen one of those selling for about 25$ or something here in Baghdad.
I'm also pretty sure the capacity was around 1000 mah if the retailer is to be believed.
It looks Identical to this photo though ,with the power,button drawing my attention when I saw it.
Can't tell you anything about actual performance though as I'm already stuck with the over priced - under performing samsung 1300 mah power pack.
I don't think this is fake or capable of damaging the phone ,I've asked the retailer and he said that he tried it and that it's rather good ,and I don't think that he was lying either.
I dont think they have battery cover with that capacity... I found cases like that in ebay but the capacity are below 1650mAh
I'd definitely be interested in obe of those!
simple and great
a friend of me just bought this and it works awesome. its nice looking and battery is sooo much better
edit: its a bit different than on your picture
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/genuine-...0-extended-battery-power-pack-case-p28950.htm
mate ,this one is the original samsung power pack which is completely different.
I have this model and it sucks ,says up to 300 hrs standby ,when infact it will drain in about 8 hrs even when attached to a fully charged phone.
So tempted... but 54 quid is a fairly expensive solution to my battery woes.
I recently bought the Anker 440mAh for the very small price of £9.99

I was skeptical about buying this due to how cheap it is, to anybody looking for a cheap alternative, this is for you.
Click HERE to view the battery on Amazon (UK)
I've seen people saying some batteries will not charge or that it's slow. This isn't, I've charged it a few times and it gets up to the 90%~ mark and remains neutral, it doesn't slow down whatsoever.
I completely forgot to screenshot my battery use after a solid 5 hour Final Fantasy 7 session with still 60%~ remaining.
The battery fit isn't great, it does fit in but it could be a lot better.
The extended case is cheap, it's made out of plastic and very hollow. With the added weight no doubt it would crack if dropped.
To sum up, the battery is well worth the price depending on use. I use it for playing games when I'm just chilling at my friends house, so here's for those who are wanting something for a similar use.
I had this battery, but it was less powerful than the original... weird.
Having used Anker batteries and travel chargers since my s2, i can safely say they can have my money any time, they make affordable but really great products. There batteries certainly last longer than stock.

WOW, 4400 mAh are good. The only problem is the expansion cover..doesn't look very well
But with 4400 you will have more power of course

I have this as well, the back covers they come with are not the best quality, and the battery is great, however it blocks the NFC capability. Ordered a Zerolemon 6300 Mah from Amazon a few days ago, should be here Thursday.
