Does anyone know if there are any battery cases available? I emailed power-skin they have some pretty nice ones for the S2
http://www.power-skin.com/battery-cases/ap1512gs2/samsung-galaxy-s-shg-i777-i9100-i9103.html
I really hope so. I am surprised battery cases aren't that popular.

How long have you had it?
I wouldn't like a power skin had them before and there not all the good and the materiel just sucks, I wish they would be a case like the iPhone 4/4s(incipio or mophie juice pack) , is a little more expensive but actually protects the phone too

I am going to get a battery case for the phone but I am currently getting almost 2 days on moderate use. 3hr screen time, 2 hours in calls, but very little navigation...
Has anyone had any luck finding one? Now that I've had the phone for a while and I'm getting 14 hours of heavy use but leaves me in the red by the time I'm off work
edit: Just found some on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/2200mAh-Power-Bank-External-Backup-Battery-Case-Cover-For-Galaxy-S3-i9300-/271013494903?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f19a9c077&_uhb=1#ht_3270wt_1163
why would you get a case? just get an extended battery with a new door.
it would be much slimmer and provide better power
Any one hour I've if these yet? Concerned about quality

Agree, I had a powerskin for my Skyrocket and it was garbage... took it back after a few days. Turned out the Nexus extended battery worked for the Skyrocket which has useful. Unfortunatly it doesn't work for the S3.
I'm really wanting a battery with higher mah because no matter what I try my battery is almost dead after a 10 hr day at work.

Hrmm...that looks interesting. Has anyone here tried it yet?
Also, how exactly do those work as far as charging? Do you just leave the phone in it, hook up the charger, and it charges both the phone's battery and the external battery at the same time?

Many people have reported problems with their screen from using the stock door with the extended battery so just be careful doing so. Hopefully it works good for you! I also have the motor extended battery and my battery life has significantly increased by several hours a day.

I have the Moto extended battery and love it. I bought it before a business trip thinking I'd swap over mid flight to the stock battery when I ran it down. I havent swapped back to the stock battery since. I unplug from the charger at 6:30a on day 1. I usually plug back into the charger around 10p on day 2 unless we're going out in which case I'll charge the phone around 5p on day 2.

I just received the otterbox defender(vzw rugged) and the moto eb today. Using the eb door with the otterbox just fine. But because I have to mod everything, I did shave just a little off the inside of the otterbox. Fits like a glove. Oh and the eb is the best. Love it.

2 x 2050 mAh : last me for 7 hours
that statistic is not right at all! an extra 70mah cannot give u 4 hours extra!
Actually the black one really cheap so it doesnt last long also it drain faster than the white one
They could be 1600 mAh

You get 7 hours of battery for one 2050mAh battery? I've been running for 13h and I'm still at 60%. You should try JuiceDefender...it's a free app in the marketplace
i mean 7 hours for playing game , music, webs, facebook and etc

Same here, it's like having a dinner slip grip . I think there's a 2100 that fits under the stock back plate

I think its easier to hold with the back and I can get well over 6 hours screen time with the brightness up to about 75%. I got mine last weekend and I'm still amazed how long I use it and I get paranoid about the battery then look at it and its still all the way charged. I got the trexcell and its awesome so far. I'm at 13 hours on my charge right now with 1 hour and 2 minutes on the screen all web browsing and its at 75%.

I was just sick of battery being an issue for me on most Roms... And our phones are so slim already a little bulk don't hurt.
Which battery specifically did you get? I'm thinking of getting one myself actually, almost got stuck in the middle of a totally unknown location because my battery was almost dead. Not a fun predicament, I'll say that much.
Lol I usually never complain about any ROM cause I know my extended will still get me through the day any day

The brand on it is qcell. I've had them about 4 months and they are easily as good as the OE battery. Though I believe they are advertised as 1950 as opposed to our 1800. For $20 you can't go wrong.

I have 2 batteries so I get to enjoy my slim and sexy Epic 4G Touch without all the junk in the trunk.
Charge one to 100% then swap it and charge to other to 100% and there's no need to carry a charger with me when I leave the house.
It's not that hard to pop the back off and swap batteries...

None that I am aware of, I have never owned a gold one but there are posts around both for and against them... some say they are just a 2100 mAh with a new sticker....
I have Seidio's extended battery, along with the case for it. Outrageously expensive, but worth every penny if only because the case has saved my phone from destruction at least 6-8 times when I've dropped it onto hard floors.
It (or my phone) definitely has "moods", though... I've managed to burn through the entire extended battery in as few as 3-4 hours (!!!) a few times. If I don't semi-charge it on my desk at work, it'll usually be down to 15-30% by the time I go home, and dangerously low if it gets another 30-60 minutes of constant use somewhere while eating dinner. I wish somebody besides Seidio made a battery with the compatible dimensions... I wouldn't use a second one often enough to justify throwing down another $70, but I'd love to pick up a second one that's good enough to go for another 3-4 hours.
In case anybody's wondering, my awful battery life is mostly because I use Graffiti, and have to lock the CPU to 100% whenever the screen is on to get acceptable accuracy. It seems like every new generation of Android phones has a worse sample rate than the last, and gets more and more aggressive about trying to slow down the CPU whenever there's a soft keyboard open. (Seriously... my creaky, ancient Sprint Hero OC'ed to 712MHz had a butter-smooth high sample rate, and I could get almost 100% accuracy writing blind with my thumb. My S3 seems to have MAYBE half the sample rate, and Graffiti input when the CPU is allowed to scale down freely and some ***** app is doing realtime Ajax character-by-character queries is almost impossible.

So i got the 10,000 mAh Zero Lemon attery and i LOVE it... i am currently at 4% battery and my phone has been off the charger for 5 days and 1 hour. its amazing.
but now i ran into a moderate issues.
when the phone stock battery hit 5% it was roughly at 160mAh and stops allowing the phone to do certain things like update my dropbox use the camera.. ect.
now when the phone is at 5% it is actually at 500mAh which is almost 16% on the stock battery and i should be able to use the camera.
technically if the battery low warning is to help protect the pgone in some way then i should be able to use my camera up untill the remaning battery on teh 10,000 mah battery reaches 1.6% battery.
i would like to just disable all battery limitations completely if that is possible.
any help would be awesome
