Best extended battery for ET4G!

Guys if you need a extended battery for your ET4G, try Gorilla gadgets.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

How's the quality? How long have you had it?
I came across this video (its for the EVO 4G gorilla gadgets battery, but seeing it makes me concerned of the quality of their products).

I've been using this gorilla gadgets extended battery for about six weeks and I am very satisfied with the performance. I get about 12 hrs or more between charges with moderate use. And yes, I had htc evo with extended battery from the same company. That is how I found out about gorilla gadgets. Not to forget, the shipping is pretty fast!

I used the Incredicell in my EVO 3D and it was great. I will probably get one when I get my E4GT. The door looks kinda ugly, but the battery is solid.

I too had a incredicell extended battery for my ET4G but few weeks later I was not happy with it's performance. So I checked gorilla gadgets and ordered one from them.

I have the same Ebay one. how much better is the gorilla over that one (I think the Ebay one is disappointing)?

@Caseyatbt, the cover is the same as the one from ebay it is kinda slick. I have bought a Trexcell thermoplastic TPU cover case for 10 bucks from Amazon. I am really happy with it, it fit really good. I have included some pictures.

@ JoeBruin32, GG extended battery's performance is way better compare to the one from ebay. Check gorillagadgets.com and read reviews about their products. You will be amazed. I had an htc evo a while ago with GG extended battery and I never had to worry about running out of battery. With GG extended battery I was able to unleashed the power of it.. Lol
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

These are all the exact same batteries as what you would get on ebay, the only difference is the branding.

@ pbassjunk, yes they do look the same but the GG's last way longer than the one from Ebay.

I do find it curious that the OP's first and only posts are about hailing GG products as awesome. Call me suspicious.

I have asked this before and hope someone has some suggestions.

This is the best case I found for ET4G with extended battery. I bought it at Amazon.com. It's aTrexcell thermoplastic tpu case for $10. I have posted it before.

Does anyone have a Seidio and Gorilla gadgets extended battery so you can compare thickness. Wondering if the battery doors are interchangeable.

Best slim battery?

I am interested in extended battery life, but I don't want to sacrifice my phone's beauty.
What slim battery/batteries should I look into?
Base responses on value and awesomeness.
Thanks.

Go ahead and get the extended galaxy nexus extended 2100 mAh battery, it doesn't add any bulk it supports nfc and mods and is hell of a lot better than stock.

Links? I don't want to purchase one that doesn't work. Are there variations that don't work with the GSII?

I purchased this one:
Anker 2200mAh battery f T-mobile SamsungGalaxy S II Samsung T989 galaxy nexus
from this buyer:
http://myworld.ebay.com/laptopmate_usa/?_trksid=p4340.l2559
and it works great.

http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/...d=12917&accessoryId=49870&initialPhoneId=5801
Try that link, should be the right one. I got one of these and never looked back, works great.

^^^ that's the link he posted it up, saving the hassle of searching for it. Also it is 50% off and ships in two days, great deal if you ask me.

Yeah I would get the nexus extended battery because of the nfc and overall its better, but you can buy two of those anker batteries for 20 dollars and still get a great deal out of it.

Anker batteries are very very good and in fact make a lot of the major labeled brands. Regarding NFC, I would NOT want that,

No it does not. Uses the same stock battery cover. Anyways, I don't work for Anker but I hate when peeps spend useless money on name brand crap when there is no need to. Good luck with any choice that is made, in the end having a extended battery has saved me in the past.

Even I bought the Anker ones from Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0078WR4KW/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
Got a great price for a set of 2 batteries plus a wall charger !!! Try it out.

I have both the Anker and Nexus batteries. I think the Nexus one lasts a bit longer, no tests/data to back it up though. Both are good choices and certainly better than stock.

I ended up buying the Anker one. Thanks for info, I'll post a quick review when I try it out.

That question is impossible to answer because what I get and what 10 other people get is always based on usage and what is on. I am on my phone all day and either checking twitter and a ton of texting. I know I typically get around 5-6 hours more usage than I got before with stock which is perfect for me.

Does the Nexus 2100mah battery from verizon work on the tmobile sgsII with the stock cover?

2400mah Slim battery

I found this on amazon and im thinking about purchasing it. It seems like a very good deal, plus unlike anker batteries, this has overcharge protection. Anker batteries have to be kept between5% and 95 %

Well my extended nexus battery is shipping currently, but since its only 2100 mAh and this one is 2400 mAh. Maybe the nexus one is better because its an OEM battery.

Usually, no-name Chinese lipo got overrated mAh capacity ratings (like this one 2400mAh in same case as regular Samsung battery which is only 1850-2100 mAh). Even more then Anker - 2200mAh.
But someone got tested Anker battery - so maybe by reducing cycles life Anker made it happened (2200mAh)
2400mAh capacity for 6 bucks needs to be verified for sure.

I ordered the anker one for $10 bucks.. i will post screen shots here comparing stock vs the anker one if thats ok with the op. And if you could do the same with your stock and the one u bought would be awesome that way we can see which one really is better.
Edit : so far this is my stock

got it now they send a panel to put in the case to test it .

I wonder if anything not from factory would jeopardize the seal. Like the zerolemon 2300mah batt or an aftermarket back cover. Since the ZL adds a slight bump the the back of the phone.

It looks much better then otterbox armor, plus the back and manu button is more practical then armor. Dont mind buying if it is less bulky then armor lol
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

That looks way better than I thought it would, much nicer than the fake eBay cases. It looks like they took the front off a seidio obex, and the back looks really cool. Wish the picture had a white phone in it. This might be enough to get me to sell my obex.

Looks a bit big - and I am not sure about a case that costs so much. I have a Vertex case and it seems to do the trick - though I do tend to avoid taking dips in water.

how would this deal with heat issues. since no air goes in and out if ones phone overheats and heat does not escape . would it mean its your screwed?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

that back cover is going to suck, scratch magnet

Wow finally..I've been anticipating this forever

Well we all said that the Galaxy S4 would be out before this got out...
So that just goes to show that all of the Lifeproof cases on eBay are complete nonsense so far.
The interesting thing is that OtterBox owns Lifeproof. Yes folks who think I've lost my mind, they acquired them a few month ago. Press Release here.
For people that knew that, oh well...
But are we going to see OtterBox LifeProof Nuud Actives or something strange?

They use the same design for their iPad cases.
They've also released a new iPhone 5 case on this design.

I'm wondering if all those Chinese cases were prototypes that got "taken" from the assembly line or they just released them since they have an actual case out now. The knockoffs had "patent pending" on them.

Or, more likely, someone got hold of the molds, or, there were a few 'after hours' production runs made at the factory.
Not unusual at all in the toy molding business, so I don't think that this would be any different.

The knockoffs look like the iPhone LifeProof. The real LifeProof is the nuud or however you spell it which is different and has no built in screen protector.
