Just thought I'd share with you guys. I saw a post by John.Smith so I actually ordered one and it looks even better in person. This this fits so well on my Captivate. It seems as though it's precision cut by a CNC Machine. It's almost an exact fit. I haven't seen any better for our phone yet. The texture actually gives it a little more grip so it won't so easily slip out of my hand. And I've bought a ton of skins. The material is extremely high quality. It's really easy to put on! It only took me about 5 minutes and now I have an awesome looking phone!!! I LOVE THIS SKIN!!! You guys should check him out on ebay. It's well worth the money!!!

Well... if you're thinking about upgrading to one of the extended batteries then one way to make it so that the battery cover looks alright with this decal would be to make one cut and have it be 2 pieces. with the pattern thats on it if you were to just cut along one of the lines and have the gap somewhere toward the bottom or the top it would still look pretty decent. I've actually been thinking about getting an extended battery myself. I might just order one tonight and then do this myself. I will post this pics when i do.
oh. and another way around buyin the extended battery would just be to buy another stock OEM battery. you can pick one up for about $12-13 now. that's what i have. and depending on the rom you're running you can get pretty awesome battery life. I'm running firefly and phoenix roms and i get between 20-35 hours out of a single charge and i never even have to use my spare battery.
Yes same here, I also ordered an extended battery. I just can't be bothered 2 carry an extra battery...too lazy...

ya totally. i think i've only carried my spare once because i went camping. well. if you like speed, stability, and awesome battery life check out the phoenix and firefly roms. you wont need the extended or spare batts.

actually it covers literally most of the phone. its way better fitting than any of the other skins out there so far. I've bought a ton of these and none of them are this high of quality. you would seriously need to feel this thing to believe it. the guy who's making them is giving $5.00 off if you take some pics of them and post them somewhere on the net. so really it doesn't cost much at all.

Does it adds any bulk to the phone? How thick is the skin anyway?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
.013 inches thick.... give or take thickness of a pube hair...
its about as "thick" as "thin" construction paper...

Unfortunately the screens I had showing battery usage are MIA (think I deleted them making space for the ICS installation!), but I will update it in a couple of days once I manage to drain the battery again!
Anyone want a video review to accompany it?

Which is the size and weight?
I mention in the review - size is approximately double the thickness (perhaps very slightly more), I haven't actually weighed it, but noticeably heavier with it. Will update the review with more details when I have the battery usage screenshots for it.
Very nice review, almost pushed me to buying one to be honest.
Maybe once I build up some more money I will consider picking one up.

you reckon lets say gaming asphalt 6 HD 100% brightness? 6 hours with this battery? is the back cover good? i mean wont just fall of easy!? whats the phone temperature with this battery when playing heavy games? really want to buy one.i just need more info.
THX IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR REVIEW MATE!
sry about all these Questions!
regards.
I've just received my Mugen battery. Currently on my first charge. The back cover is of a very high quality, even more so that the stock cover and for those wondering, the SZLF metal bumper will still fit even with the extended battery and cover.

Sent from a noob on a new note
I just got a Mugen battery a few days ago. Finished the recommended number of charging cycles and am working on (yet another) review now.
Hi, there...
Friend of mine has an iPhone 4 battery case, like this one http://www.exogear.com/products-iphone-4.html
Now, I don't envy Apple phone users a bit, but am rather annoyed by the fact that so many companies produce the greatest number of accessories for 2, or 3 model that this company has, instead concentrating on all the other phones. The result being that I can hardly find a similar thing for my Note. Even when I was I was thinking about buying SII, I wasn't able to find anything as nice, except those cases/chargers in which you place your phone and then when it is full you can take it out and carry on with your life. But nothing which extends your battery life and becomes attached to your phone throughout the day.
The only thing I've found on the eBay is this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Slim-Li-I...ltDomain_3&hash=item2c661185fa#ht_5527wt_1163
Has anybody got any experience with battery extenders/cases for Note?
Eeeerm, sorry, I think I should have put this topic into accessories...

If I recall correctly, another member has one of these and said even though they claim to have 3500mAh, it doesn't even last as long as the stock battery of 2500mAh.
I don't have one myself so I can't confirm this but that's what they said.

There's a thread on Gold 3250mAh, my ekhm... "tests" returned results very similar to the stock battery, but some users reported feeling it lasts longer than that
looking for something like this?
It's a Chinese battery pack for the note ,can give about 45% extra charge,has a kickstand.
the quality is alright ,the price is 42$ ,and as you can see from the photos I haven't used it much and it's gathering dirt.
I can't remember the name ,nor can I find the box ,sorry.
but anyway , yes those things exist.
Thanks, all...
Yeah, I wasn't after something I'd use with my Note like all the time...
But, if I were to go somewhere for a longer period than a day and there was a chance I might use navigation quite a bit, or even driving for 4-6 hours with navigation on all the time... Esp. since someone here said that the Note doesn't charge as fast as it gets depleted battery during constant navigation use in a car.
So, a behemoth like this one would come in handy in situations like this...
might I suggest these

Since these charging battery cases add more bulk to the phone, why not just cash out on a Mugen 5400Mah battery? It does add some bulk, but tests I read somewhere showed that it received 9 hours of continuous screen time which is just ridiculous!

I don't think the problem is whether or not people are willing to cash out on Mugen, the idea is to find an alternative.....I myself am not willing to have my note THAT bulky, yes the external battery cases are a little bit bulky but compared to the Mugen its definitely more aesthetically pleasing. I'm looking for an alternative to making my Note last a bit longer, and also not ruining the sleek design of this beautiful phablet .

I bought an ez battery from amazon 4200 mh... And it works like a charm. definitely double the life of my stock battery. I then bought a honeycomb TPU case and it fits pretty well, though I might mod it around the power and volume buttons. I still use the stock battery when I'm on a less serious Internet usage day

Very big fan, and I won't often stick my neck out on such matters. I used my phone a lot today (although not my craziest of usage days) and I was on 81% at 7pm. I told my girlfriend (whose iPhone was dead) but she didn't care at all

Same issue with my friends phone.
Battery works just fine , but the cover won't click in properly.
I have one of the hyperion extended batteries, it works great but make the phone look like a turtle, spoils all the benefit of the nice slim design the note has going for it. However, it does sit better in the hand though. I use it occasionally, like on some days when I know I'll be out using my GPS and data heavily and still I have like 40% remaining. Does not double the battery life but more like 1 2/3 good thing is I can use my phone heavily for the entire day and not wonder if I will have juice remaining.
i'm planning to buy a new battery. i will remember of this 5000mah. thank you.

I do own one! This battery rocks!
Tremendous Capacity! It lasts 2 days with ease (with minor use) :good:
Believe me when I say this, but this battery is DEFINITELY worth the money!
Something else that you should pay attention (very important!) is the quality of the cover, since it is unique with your battery and there is no replacement!
I used another battery like this before with a "sweat" kind of plastic cover and with no side stand. Bigger cover, more difficult to handle, which I was forced to remove afterwards, due poor quality and increased wear.
THIS SPECIFIC cover, is covered by an excellent quality and increased strength!
It is surely a good buy!
