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.

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
I recently purchased the Qcell 3650 extended battery for my white Tm0bile sgh2, by far the best purchase I have made in a while. I can charge my phone use it as much as I want and i do not worry about running out of juice. I have removed all battery saving programs I do not need them anymore.
I do however worry about dropping the phone the back cover is a perfect match to the stock phone and it is slick seems to be the way it is with the white phone. Is anyone aware of any protective case that will work with this extended battery of of a case that one may be able to modify to work. I have looked all over and so far I haven't found anything I love this phone best one yet but the case options are slim.
You can find it on [email protected] under this description. It was 19.99

I have the same case and battery, and sadly at this point it looks like we either have better battery life, or a better protected phone. I have just resorted to getting a good quality holster for the phone. Let me know if you find an alternative!
Heres an ideal i was to happy with extended battery till no case drop phone crack money Stock phone ROM is bad for battery 1% by hrs ive just tried
ICS 4.0.4]:ARKSIDE.UCLE2::[BETA06
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658182
with no use 4hr + without dropping 1% with data off
if your not a rooter and flasher tmo should be dropping ICS in 8 days
case maybe looking to just getting an extra battery takes what 5min or less to remove case and put back on with new battery
http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Batteri..._14?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1337479458&sr=1-14
it work for tmo as well
you get Anker® 2 x 2200mAh = 4400mAh + changer battery non NFC
Someone found a protective case for extended battery?
Do you have pics? If you go to amazon and search t989 lazza cell extended battery case that is the only extended battery case that I know of. I just got the lazzacell extended battery it has NFC capabilites and is a great battery and I got the case for it as well it is great. And the best part is I used to use the seido case for my phone with the regular battery and it came with the clip holder and the phone fits the clip with this extended battery case perfectly!
So I purchased the trexcell extended battery with NFC support awhile back (love it! I have gotten 30 hours off one charge and I am NOT a light user of my phone!) but when I purchased it I had to modify a TPU case to get it to fit (neccessary as I upgrade so often I always buy case/screenprotector to maximize resale value).
A few weeks ago Seido came out with their hard case and I jumped all over it and am pleased with it but what I really love is TPU cases. My nephew was looking online for a nexus for his GF (an iPhone convert, rejoice!) and we came across this today! Had I not bought my Seido hard case I would definately get this (or this combo if I didn't have the battery already).

I am just posting this for those that are looking for a similiar solution as I have been very pleased with it!
Hey guys,
I recently installed the 4200mAh Hyperion battery into my S3 SGH-I747, but I'm having a slight issue. The battery works great and does exactly what it's advertised to do, however I'm having a serious issue trying to locate a protective shell for the phone now. I've had several people tell me that they are out there, but they don't seem to be able to direct me to where I can find one. I have been able to locate several 'stick-on' covers for them, but that's not what I'm looking for. The extra weight the battery adds make the phone feel like if it gets dropped, it's going to get destroyed. I have searched the forums to no avail, so I was hoping that someone might be able to give me some idea or where I can find them, or if they even exist. I have seen the Hyperion covers, but they appear to be silicone, and I was looking for something more along the line of a hard shell. If they do exist, cost is not an issue when it comes to protecting this phone, so please feel free to post anything you might know of. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Seidio offers a solution.
The Seidio Surface Extended Battery Door(battery cover). You will need this in order to use the Surface Extended Case + Holster(which is fantastic).
The door is $15 but can only be ordered through their customer service line as they haven't added it to the website just yet. But you can order the case and holster combo or just the case(snap case) that is molded to their battery door.($29). Expensive but it really is the only option if you want a really good case that fits naturally into a Seidio holster(if you want) or a case in general that isn't as bulky as the Hyperion one.
For screenshots and my review you can check out my thread:

can you please tell me howsthe backup of this battery...
The 4200mAh battery is hands down, the best thing I've done for my phone. I stream Pandora constantly while I'm in class, with that being said, I was in an hour and a half class yesterday morning. I streamed Pandora with the screen on the entire time and only had a battery drain of 4%. Talk time is severely increased as well.
Be aware that if you do get one, you're going to be adding some serious weight and mass to the phone. With the new back cover, thickness is increased by around a half an inch. It is noticeably heavier, but feels more solid. Hope this helps!

Took your advice and bought the Seidio extended battery covet and matching Active case. It has proven to be one of the best investments I've make regarding the phone. It's EXACTLY what I was looking for. I owe you one, bro.

So, I want my phone to last a whole day without me ever having to worry about it dying..ever. If anyone has found a great case, that's about as thick as the Otterbox (which I use now), and has a 2000 mAh battery, please share! I'm searching but haven't found anything I really like/trust yet.
