Case mate case

I am looking to buy the case mate pop case but don't want to wait 5 days if I order online. Do any actual stores that I can visit sell the case? Thanks

One thing to keep in mind with that case is the micro USB cable that comes with the phone doesn't fit with that case on. My store sells them, try a vzw premium retailer (not corporate)

Thank you, I am using a verizon charger that i bought so it fits. I currently have the white one but I prefer black because I am a guy.

I called all of the local private retailers and none if them had it. Any suggestions?

Went to two verizon stores and bestbuy today... you'd think this phone hasn't been released yet. There is no sign of it. Same went for the wireless zone premium verizon retailer i bought it at. Needless to say there were no cases either.

I know, its horrible because of how much of a good phone this is.

Do you own the case? All my chargers work with the Pop case and ext battery except for one aftermarket usb cable, an older Verizon car charger is a snug fit but it actually guides it in perfectly.

FSRBIKER, the case fits with the extended battery/cover on LTE version?
could you post pics?

how the heck do you remove the case-mate pop?
It seems impossible to take off once put on.

I have the Lte version w/Vzw extended battery and have them installed on both my wife's and mine. She is out so no pics but not sure what you want to see, it just fits. Definetly makes the phone feel stronger as well. $16 at www.thecellguru.com

You may want to break your drill and punch a hole in the upper right back for the second microphone. That is what I ended up doing.
Case-mate should also have new cases with the hole opened by next month.

You guys are using the coupon code in the bottom of the OP right? MLCK301RNL1

Yep. Said that the coupon was expired or already used.

Got mine today in the mail - not a bad way to spend $6 bux. The screen protector was worth almost half the price... I've always liked Otter's screen protectors more than most others...

Sadly no. Too big for the car dock.

Best cheap battery?

I'm looking for the best cheap battery, and possibly a charger for it. Maybe something with more power than the OEM one, and something that either comes with a back cover or one that doesn't add bulk.
I've thought about this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0069RQMWS/ref=redir_mdp_mobile but I don't really want the bulk. Any suggestions? And any feedback on the battery I linked to?
*edit* I have the white device. So if it's bulky and come with a back cover, I would prefer a white back cover.

I got the andida 2300mah, there is a thread about it in this section. I paid $9 and its working well for me. Does not add bulk.

3800 mah? do you think it is legit?

Im using the hyperion battery from amazon. And so far so good,

I'm using qcell batteries, there supposed to be 2300mah I think they are 2100 tho because they last as long as stock batteries and you get 2 for 25$ on Amazon I really recommend them

I saw a 4000mah battery on amazon for $16 and was tempted to get it, but just bought the flip cover for my phone so decided against it.
they don't have nfc either so, that's another downer.

a lot of the reviews on amazon say they average around 36 hrs on a single charge with average use.

just ordered this http://www.amazon.com/QCell-Extende...mobile/dp/B0074290B2/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top was able to get 2 days with the stock battery so hoping for 4 days with the extended battery
I wish i could just get the hyperion back cover without the battery because it looks like it will be better looking than the qcell back cover

I think I am gonna go with the 2 qcell batteries from amazon because I don't want to add bulk to the phone. I'd rather just change the battery after it dies.

Got it off Ebay for $20. After I bought it I saw a package deal on there that comes with a ton of accessories for $25.

Otterbox Commuter with OEM Samsung 3000mah Extended Battery

I'm just posting to let people know that I've personally modified my Otterbox Commuter to fit the oem samsung extended battery. I was able to do this by simply using an xacto-knife to cut a battery-shaped rectangle for the extended battery to stick-out through the standard batt. door that came with the device. Then I just slipped the silicone cover over my s3,flipped it over(screen down) and cut around the raised edges on the silicone that outline where the battery was pressing against the silicone, and after that I was good to go. At the moment I'm not able to take pictures.

I would have just left my battery door off instead of cutting it up.

Ya....except for the polycarbonate shell on the commuter which holds the battery , since i cut the silicone and slim battery door to allow for the battery to stick through...

Not possible with this mod. If you read my post it mentions i cut the slim battery door because the EXTENDED battery obviously wouldn't fit otherwise.

I was just meaning to not use a battery door at all, just modding the case and putting on the phone without it. That way, you could always put the stock battery back in without a hole in the back of your phone.

What holds the battery in place? The hard cover of the otterbox?

Yes the hard plastic cover holds the battery in

I gotta admit it is pretty cool. Ive been thinking of getting a extended battery and the main thing holding me back is how bulky it would be and the lack of case options. But I love the commuter case and it seems to work. Does the case create a bump on the back when fully installed?

No, as the polycarbonate isn't flexible, it does NOT create a bump or distort the outer shell in anyway. The shell should remain perfectly flat, if installed correctly

Thank you Op this was perfect, sitting here right now with my fav phone case back on and you would never know the extended battery is hidden in there.

this looks super interesting to me but i would hate to have to cut up my case in case i want to sell it in the future. i was thinking about getting a cheapo battery door to cut up and use but i was wondering if i could get away with not cutting up the rubber portion of the commuter case.

You will need to cut the standard phone back portion of the case and the rubber portion of the otterbox this will bring everything flush with the extended battery. The outer shell of the otterbox acts as the new back cover it works really well i personally couldn't be any happier with the result.

Could the defender be used if you just didn't put the battery back on? I am currently used a UAG case this way and it works good.

No it wont fit it is a little too thick.
