Just received it in the mail today. Definitely OEM and adds a very minimal amount of bulk. The only thing it doesn't do is curve in around the bottom of the phone, making it look more uniform. My Amzer case also fits this perfectly and i'm sure all other do as well. Here's the link if interested.

no clue but they ship extra fast lol.. and yeah i'll take some pics now
also, the new case bulges out a little to protect the camera.. Nice!
want to buy this so bad, but i won't be able to use my case with it. honestly though i'm getting great battery life. but i'll be sure to bookmark that link for the future maybe.
I also ordered from Shimshop. What date did you place your order? Just wondering how long delivery took!
Regards.
4 1/2 hours vs. 4 hours worth it?
This battery is a marginal increase in capacity and probably makes the phone incompatible with OEM accessories.
Is it worth it?

If you're using the extended battery with the GSM version you can just use cases meant for the LTE version since they are both marginally thicker than the GSM version with the normal battery.

A little off-topic but where did you purchase the Amzer case? I loved it on my Nexus S.

been using them since my Nexus One and its still on it. You can either go directly to there website or use fommy.com

Now that we know that it can fit in our GSM Nexus, the question is how significant is the improvement.
In your normal use, how long does the normal battery and the extended battery lasts?
I am very sorry if there is already topic like this one.
I found on ebay a battery that was 3500mAh or 3600mAh I don't recall exactly, but they say that it is the exact size like the original and won't change the size of the phone like the 5000mAh does.
My question is did someone has it,and how is it working? How many hours did your phone last?
Thank You in advance!

Absolute nonsense. Every battery that claims vast improvements in the same form factor is a scam.
If 3500mah could fit in the space provided, Samsung would have included a 3500mah battery.

I Don't agree,there could be a lot of reasons why they didn't put one,from budget point of view to supply issues. It's not like they strive to bring you the best at any cost.

If you meant the Gold battery, then it is 3500mAh. I bought two and noticed a huge difference compared to my stock battery. The stock used to power the phone until 7pm with moderate usage, wifi and bluetooth always on. Ever since I used the Gold battery, the battery still is at approximately 40% at 11pm. The battery still is 2 days old but still, the difference is noticeable
can you guys do a nova battery tester run on those batteries?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
Mine came with 2800 mAh. Since it's cheaper than stock it has worth the purchase. Don't get your hopes high with these batteries.
Your srock may be dieing if it's almost a year old. Mine got down to 1700 mAh and this explains the "huge" difference you see in your new battery.

I bought the Gold battery two months after I got my Note so it means the OEM is still at it's peak. But yeah, I really don't have high hopes for replacement batteries. They may have a higher charge but they won't last as long as OEM. Like my dslr batteries, I get more juice out of the replacement batteries but my OEM battery outlasted them. But it is still worth it for me. What good is a camera (or phone in this case) if it does not have power when you really need it? Battery life does not matter to me (atleast in my case since I could buy 4 to 5 replacement batteries for 1 OEM dlsr battery - the Gold battery however, is another case).I keep that mantra all the time and I am happy with it :laugh:
i just bough a 3600 mAh battery for 14$ Boubbled my battery life on my jellybean rom

I don't know. I could check it but
I don't think NFC works on my ROM
And if it dident I personally would not care because I never used NFC . NFC or 2x battery.... Id choose 2x
Quick note the battery is quite big and it comes with ( I think) a nice phone back case. Its VERY secure and it protects the camera lens (kinda)

Is it possible to get some pics? How much thicker does it make the phone? I like the slim profile of the S2 and I don't want to feel like I am carrying around a huge flip phone, or one with a sliding kb. Thanks.
I'm going to buy a new battery for my S3. I have to decide between Polarcell with 2400mAh and the bigger original Samsung 3000mAh kit. Has someone experiences over a few of months with this batteries ? If they are new both seem to be very good, the Polarcell really has it's capacity and the Samsung one of course, too.
This is very interesting topic. Need to follow.

But I'm from germany and I dont want to import a battery, so I asked about the original 3000mAh and the Polarcell. And in fact in most of the battery threads there are only sbort term experiences.
I've been using the Samsung 3000 mah battery since July with no issues. The battery makes the phone a little thicker, but it's not too bad. It's really nice to have the peace of mind from the extra power in the battery.
Hi guys,
I contacted mugen about this and I received a mail telling me that they are released it this year in march!
Which means, 3000mah inside my nexus 5
Feel free to discuss this in here.
