Cheap Stock Batteries?

I was searching for a stock spare battery and came across these... they have the same model number and the seller says its an OEM product.
are they legit?

Good timing, i was searching for the same thing and saw this ad as well. Not sure if it legit or not... anyone order from this seller before?

He he,
I might order one. I'm going back to school next week so I'll be able to test the real capacity of these batteries with a multimeter

I've seen lots on ebay that are excellent counterfeits, some of which work as well as the genuine part. For example, I once bought a phone battery that looked exactly the same as the original, except for the quality of the hologram and two small typos, and it held a charge better than the original battery that came with the phone.
So it may well be worthwhile even if it's not genuine.

Hopefully they have nfc support....

A wise man once told me, "You don't always get what you pay for, but you never get what you don't pay for!" $8 for a genuine Samsung battery - when they retail at $30 for a device that is still very popular, I would think twice. Spend the extra $20 for a legit battery.
Just my 2 cents.

Well I can always return it

Ask around at the other thread for the sprint 2100mAh battery if you have a cdma variant. Im using one now and a lot of people ordered extras over there.

i always buy the cheapest batteries i can find, you can order 3 or 4 and it still will cost less than one direct from samsung and you get much more battery life total

I bought two that looked identical to one on eBay. No nfc though.. I told the dude they were fake and he gave me my money back. So I got 2 free batteries that look stock with no nfc... beware of cheap batteries from sellers in Hong Kong...

Same thing happened with me. Just got the battery. Was a fake and I got my refund. But the battery seems pretty decent in holding charge. Well see how it does in a few weeks

Will the above battery work with the standard european model of Samsung Galaxy?
I need a new ekstra battery. Don't care if it has NFC or not. I just don't wan't it to be bigger than the standard one. Please post some links to sellers if the above don't work.
Thanks.

Indeed very cheap. But one problem, they don't deliver to Europe, Denmark.

OEM Authentic Galaxy S3 Battery Covers.

I just wanted to share this. I was pretty excited. Bought one. Don't have to worry about buying the "OEM" ones that are not authentic. U.S. Seller and all. Claims it's genuine. He has them in blue and white.

With Verizon branding.
Q: why doesn't the battery actually say SAMSUNG? the OEM batteries say samsung on them. Aug-31-12
A: Hello, This battery is produced in the same factory than the original one. It is exactly the same samsung part,but due to copyright and license complications,factories do not stamp the samsung logo on them so they can sell them to other companies as well. In any case,I personally own an s3 and use a battery from this batch daily.It works just like the regular one. Hopefully this make things clearer.Thank you,

You should try amazon - there is 1 listed which is fulfilled by amazon so you know it should be genuine. 12 sterling + postage

Really? They are the same sellers on eBay and they come from China as well. Just because it's fulfilled by Amazon doesn't make it genuine.

CNN.COM
That's the most trusted replacement supplier in the world. Also, swbox ain't bad either. All Chinese suppliers aren't bad. These two are quite reputable. Check them out.

Wonder where this guy got so many covers. Mine is getting a bit scratched up on the corners after using my S3 bare for a few months, good to know I can get OEM covers on eBay.
I have the urge to get a white one and use it on my pebble blue, just to mix things up a bit.

Ordered one not to long ago and letters came off the back, just a warning. Don't remember if it was the same seller but the covers the same.

CNN.cn you mean? I love that site, I've bought hundreds of oem parts for my phones over the years. I haven't had any issues with anything they've sent me, so I'm glad to see them mentioned here

See my response to the quote above this one as it fully applies here also, lol. The things they list as "oem" are 100% genuine Samsung parts. I've ordered iPhone parts for three different models, Samsung parts for six different models, and also Motorola and HTC parts and all have been genuine

Genuine Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Cover in stock

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Genuine-...Accessories&hash=item5ae9a40d38#ht_1944wt_911
Found this on eBay. No guarantee that it is genuine, but at least it is in stock. I am waiting for the black one =S

$60? For that? Are they on drugs?

Bought one on Amazon.de for 30Euro.

I think 60 is the retail price. Do you know any cheaper source (including shippimg) that ship internationally?

White i'll pass on . But it's a start!

$60 is about what I paid for my kenssington bluetooth keyboard case combo. The auction doesn't state that the cover is OEM. No thanks. What a rip.

It claims it is genuine. Do you believe it?

Haha, the price is now 46 Euro
About the cover: I have an original one on my Tab 10.1 and I love it. Would not swap it for anything else, price does not matter.

Does it ship internationally? It's a little expensive for me. I am hoping to get it for around 50 usd which is retail price in US

Nothing. Samsung's notorious for being late with their accessories. The car dock for the GN that was shown when it launched didn't become available until a month ago. The AllShare Cast dongle shown at the SGS3 launch just became available this week. The wireless charger dock for the SGS3 still isn't available. It's just the way Samsung rolls.

This guy jacked the price up to US $600 for the white.....case, for some reason. Probably only has one (and is also an idiot). He must have more of the grey ones as he's only charging US $100 for those
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Genuine...026887?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item416a7686c7
We should probably see these soon for around $60 US. At least it looks like they are now on sale in Korea.

600!!!

I mean, that's what I thought when I first saw it-typo. But then, I noticed he's selling the grey one for $100. That's not a typo. That's robbery.

Can some one write a business report estimating the potential loss in sales for the delay and shove it at Samsung's face?

You probably won't for a while. I have only seen a few places that stock the Note 5.3 case. All overtaken by iPhone cases and that.
I got my case off ebay for under a tenner and it came with a free screen cover. It is brilliant.

N7000 cases on the cheap?

I was curious if anyone has spotted any good deals on premium cases or accessories now that the Note 2 is upon us.
Anything!?

I got a flip case with stylus for about 3 pounds sterling on eBay. Expected crap but it is great, using it until my genuine Samsung flip case arrives (free with phone but must wait six weeks) and so far is good.
Let me, know if can't find on eBay.co.uk and ill dig it out from my email
