Yes this case is more expensive but it does the exact same but the charging unit is like how the battery backups are on the iphone's the downside to this is the back protection is not as great as the first case i posted.
Cost is 32USD NOT BEEN TESTED

very nice, but i HIGHLY doubt it is 3200mah
Well I have used it today and I think it might be because my note has been on battery power for 12hours and I'm still at 95% battery and that is with sitting on the phone for a few hours
Chatting apps for a few hours and hard graphical games.

So it's mainly that the paint that peels off?
Does these cases break apart easily?
My friends got break up easily.
Just got my 3200mAh External Battery. It is not of the upmost quality but it does its job very well. I can only recomend it so far. Unfortunately you cant connect the Device to the PC if the External Battery is connected but that is not realy a big Problem. When the Backup Battery is full you can just disconnect it and connect the phone directly to the PC until you leave. Or just use two USB Cables to charge and connect at the same time.

Has anyone gotten this battery yet? Does anyone know if they will make a case for it like seidio made cases for the evos. Thanks
Looks to me like that battery would give an sgs2 the belly bump of a lady at 7 months with two buns in the oven...
Since it's unlikely you'll ever find a case for it, why not buy an extra battery or buy a power skin case?
Using tapatalk on my Galaxy 2 to post this!
Shouldn't it come with a case?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I tried the powerskin and it was a pos, all around the sides wouldnt fit right and the charged notification would beep a lot
I agree with the fit/finish issues on the powerskin case. Wished they'd made it fit the phone as well as the Vibrant version did.
The beeping on charge happens when you connect it to a wall charger that can't provide enough amps for the powerskin case. I've had the best results with the Samsung charger which comes with the phone but it will also charge properly from a computer USB port. The charger that came with my motorola bluetooth stereo headset will cause beeping when connected...
Anyway, I imagine this battery + case wouldn't be that much larger than the SGS2 + Powerskin... So, if Seidio decides to make a case for it I might buy both. Not much action in the US on the NFC side of things right now so having NFC enabled batteries isn't that important to me.
just got it guys....will do a review in a couple of days, but after i put it, set brightness to 100% and it took me about 4-5 hours to get it down to 15% from 46% seems pretty legit!
I ordered the battery, I will do a little review on it when it gets here.

I had the same experience. I had one for my HD2 & it was very well made & the battery lasted all day, but the t989 version felt like a cheap knockoff or something. Sides didn't fit, the leds were different shades of blue, and it died after only a couple hours. I ended up returning it.
Battery is the main problem with all those phones.one good thing they can do is attack a dollar panel to all the phones or make hydrogen fuel celled phones that would be amazing.

hmm thats not that much better than stock for me, my battery comes tomorrow. I wonder if the s2 doesnt charge extended batterys all the way. Are the volts right around 4.2 when its done charging? and how many cycles are you on?
its way better than stock
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
i concur i usually last 13 hours, i'm a real heavy user...when i say heavy meaning...wifi tethering, checking stock every 5-10 minutes via browser, facebook 30 mins, weather every 1 hour, 2-3 gmail account sync, watching youtube every now and then. using Tune in radio usually drain a ton of battery for me too.
i had the camero sinio battery, it seems to last longer than stock battery if anyone want to go the cheaper route.
so far the battery is awesome, I have 86% left and its been on almost 5 hours. thats with light use though. Also After a few cycles it will get slightly better.
Edit: 12h 8 min 78%

How's the fitment of the extended back cover? Any uneven spaces and whatnot?
Are you using the phone naked without a case?
The back cover fits great, and I am not using a case. You have to make sure it clicks in all the way so there isnt any uneven space. Also the phone doesnt get that much thicker because the battery in the s2 is longer so it doesnt even look like its that much bigger. I wish seidio would make a case though.
So I've been using this case for about 3 days now...and its awesome

The case is pretty much a Kraken case with a battery built into the back. The battery is 2000mah.
With medium usage yesterday it stayed at 100% from 7am to about 1030pm (with using the trident battery along with the Samsung battery)
It is a bulky case..its alittle bigger than a Kraken case, but it feels stronger than a Kraken case. I dropped it afew times and it never split apart like the Kraken did..so they might of fixed this issue.
So ya..figured I'd put this on here since I didn't see anyone else talk about this yet. Atleast when I searched for it I didn't see anything about it.
By the way I got mine on Amazon for $45 with free shipping so you can find it cheaper than the $70 asking price. :good:
Case looks awesome. Looks better than the kraken. I love trident products. If it weren't for purchasing the Samsung 3000mah battery I would totally picked up this case.

Well, I finally got mine and in short I'd say this case is good but not great. I'll start with the Cons First
1. The Rubberized case that comes with it is quite loose fitting so it slips off pretty easy.
2. The case is large for only a 2000mah battery, I feel that they probably could of used a higher cap battery.
3. ***This may only be mine*** The bottom snaps dont stay together all the time which worries me because if they are not snapped properly then the stress of holding the bottom of the case together is on the usb port.
Pros
1, You can use the rubberized case as a stand alone case (although I wouldnt)
2. It comes with a belt clip (again I wont use it, but its nice to have)
3. Comes with screen protection
4. When its all together its fairly rugged
5. It has the ability to select what you charge first when its plugged in (the phone or the case) and when one is charged, it starts charging the other.
6. Price, I found mine for only $45 shipped. Retail is $70 though.
I'll try and post some pictures later.

You're not the only one. My case does the same thing. It's almost as if the rubber inner case is too big for the design on the bottom side of the case. I just sent an e-mail to Trident's Customer Service explaining the issue...I'm hopeful for a reply.
I did the same, lol.
I got mine today after leading a Harlem Shake video at a sales training course. After misreading the instructions, I finally got it working.
It's taking some time to get used to the size, but it's an awesome case. Looking forward to putting it through its paces.

Sounds interesting right? yes, its very much true. I bought this type of cover from local market. I must say the cover has a brilliant design. Also, the way in which it functions is simply superb. I am also sharing some snaps of the cover here. Such type of cover really comes handy in case you are travelling and it is not possible to get charging point.

Since my galaxy note is white in colour, I have a white flip cover. The small dots (5 of them) on lower left hand side is for speakers. The 5 bright dots slighly bigger in size at the lower center show the backup battery power level. This case itself contains a backup battery worth 3800 mAh inside.
The circular button on the lower right hand side is for charging the mobile. Press this button for 3 seconds and then it will start charging your mobile's internal battery using the power of the backup battery. If you want to stop charging, again press the button for 3 seconds.
When you use the external charger with wire, it charges mobile's internal battery as well as the backup battery simultaneously. The backup battery is sufficient enough to fully charge your galaxy note's internal battery once. This type of design comes very handy when you are traveling and you don't have any charging point anywhere.
See how Galaxy Note fits in the flip cover. The design is very nice and made keeping in mind the size of the phone. This flip cover acts as a protective case too.
This snap is extremely important. The mobile needs to be carefully placed inside the flip cover. See the silver colour charging pin in black circle. That needs to fit properly in the mobile's charging slot. Don't damage it.
The flip cover also has a stand from back side. This makes video viewing a brilliant experience. Overall, I liked this flip cover a lot and I can definitely suggest you all to buy it. Its really worth !!!
IMPORTANT POINT TO REMEMBER (my observation after use of this cover)-->
================================================================
Whenever the cover battery and phone battery are getting charged simultaneously, the preference is given to cover battery. Cover battery is worth 3800 mAh and Note's internal battery is around 2300mAh so overall charging time goes beyond 5 to 6 hours. Thats why I use this cover in case I am out of house for long time or I am travelling as it is not possible to get charging point. A day before going out, take the phone out of cover and charge the cover. This will be faster.

I'm just worried about the fitment and how the white case will age.
Just ordered it in white. I'll take some pics and do a short review when it arrives. Estimated delivery is this Thursday.
It would be amazing to have that much battery, but I don't want to lose the Qi charging. I use Qi at home each night or at work if I skip the night charge.
If there was an extended battery that came with a replacement door with Qi built in, I would likely jump all over it.

I could probably retrofit the charging coils from the folio cover to the back of the Zero Lemon case but that would take forever to charge. Does anyone know how long it takes to charge the stock 3140mah battery from dead to 100% using Qi?
Mine finally came in the mail after 4 business days. My initial impressions are that the phone is pretty big now and the extra heft makes it even harder to wrap your hand around the device for one handed use but it's doable. The buttons are very easy to press with the included case wrapping the phone which is a relief, however the case itself seems to have a slightly too loose fit for my taste. I just got done charging the phone up from about 65% to 100% (which took around 1:45). I know the manual, back of the battery and the included business / please rate us 5 stars on Amazon card (which all came in a nice zip-lock type bag inside a bubble padded envelope) say to charge the device for 5+ hours but It's been at 100% for 45 minutes now and the voltage has steadied around 4.3V. I'll be sure to update this post after I get some test data.

I wonder we can gain lightness by changing the battery
I also would have bought the battery if it could charge wirelessly. I love being able to just drop it on my nightstand at night and when I am in my office just set it down to charge.
Mines should arrive tomorrow. Anxious to get these charge cycles going. Also ordered a leather holster case that's super sized and should fit this phone with its extended battery.
Can someone post a comparison pix of stock thickness vs. One with extended zero lemon battery?

Its huge..lol but I expected that. I had the 7200mAh one for Galaxy S3. So I'm use to the extra weight & thickness.
The tradeoff will be worth it. Ive barely used my galaxy note 10.1 since I got this phone. Or my Nexus7. Its really like a mini tablet. Last night I ordered me some HD screen protectors & a universal camera lens kit(fish eye, macro, wide angle).
It arrived today! I like the black tpu case it came with. Plus I like the extra weight. It feels more secure now and not slippery. For my type of heavy usage, this battery is exactly what I needed. Time to charge this up.

Fit and finish should be comparable to Liptus OP, except I will be using a razor knife. Here are pre-mod pictures. Will update when finished.

Okay,
So I finished it in about 40 minutes.
It was a bit harder to do then the first time. Mostly because the gaping hole in the middle and the smaller sides. I suspect a fresh mod will only take 20 minutes.

Fit and Finish......
So it fits nicely and looks roughly the same as the ZL mod. One thing I noticed and like more is not having to cut out a piece of the camera lens shroud. This is due to Anker positioning the battery offset lower.
There is still a small gap at the top near the lens, and the usual adjustments need to be made, ie- stretching the tpu to facilitate proper button use.
Additionally,
If you make the battery hole a smidge larger than actual, you can take out the battery- w/o disassembly of the entire case!
I will be using this 7200 in tandem with my 4400. When one is dead, the other will be juiced and ready on my external charger.
BTW, this 7200 is new and uncharged. I Will be running tests and side by side comparisons with the ZL7000 in my other thread.

Kudos for trying this, the rubber cover is not going to last long though. I've gone through tons of them already on the defender without any mods like this. The rubber eventually starts warping from going in and out of one's pocket.
Thanks Paradox,
My hope is that my using the Otterbox with the belt clip M-F, and switching over to the the Anker TPU for sat-Sun, will give me the solution I am looKing for.

Does the belt clip still work? If you don't mind adding a photo with that would be interesting, i'm assuming it works only if the screen is facing inward. If you give otter box a call they will send you extra rubber housings, I had to hassle them a lot but I managed to get a few extra since the case is known to warp...I wouldn't mention your "case mod" experiment though. I'm going to try out the case that comes with the Anker battery hopefully it is sufficient, I'm going to run without a screen protector as well for the first time since my HTC Tytn II so hopefully the gorilla glass is all it's cracked up to be.

The belt clip does still work, and as you guessed-only face in.
I will submit a picture in the am.
Thanks for the Otterbox info, I'm sure I will need it.
All the best,

I just got mine today! The case that comes with it is really fantastic feels extremely solid, I'm surprised you feel the need for the otterbox still.

I need the belt clip, if this had one-it would easily be my daily driver.

Pics.....
Paradox,
Sorry for the delay, I forgot you asked for pics. The belt clip still works, it is a bit trickier now that the phone is so fat. The bottom groove on the clip pushes against the battery. It still fits, but it needs extra effort to get it clipped in.
Hit the Thanks button if this helps.

how much is the charge time and how it holds.
