Will be upgrading from my sg2 tomorrow and looking around for an extended battery already heh.
I was looking at getting the qcell or hyper 4200mAh with nfc.. But i was wondering if there was any cases that would fit for the extended battery?

Thank you for posting this.
I am really hoping there's a solution to this problem.
I have a 4200mAH Qcell battery for my Samsung Epic Touch 4G and I wouldn't part with it for the world. It's an insanely high quality battery for the money. I basically used a hard-shell/soft-shell bracer from a cheap case I bought, threw away the inner part, and just made the outer part "fit" the phone with that large battery in there.
I don't care if the solution is ghetto or weirdly-rigged, as long as it's snug and works, I'm interested.

Yeah, a case for the extended battery is my concern also. I do not want to buy the battery and be stuck using a case that gives very little protection. I have an idea which I got off the htc rezound threads. They have modified a trident kraken case to fit the extended battery. here is the link to that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1550351&page=3
However before I go ahead with such a thing I really want to make sure it will work. I need to know precise dimensions of the battery and the thickness of the silicone gel inside the trident case

Hyperion makes a tpu case for their extended battery. It may work on other extended battery setups.

Here's a link to the TPU extended battery case on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008MMZUZS/ref=ox_ya_os_product
Nice to see my mod from the rezound still being used but I dont know if it would work out good on this phone, the trident logo is part of the rubber on this case instead of being part of the outer shell, so if you do cut it your going to see the battery. unless the battery is black then it might not look as bad. Im probably going to pick up a Kraken case soon and I might give it a try anyway
was thinking of tris this on the otterbox commuter. but i dont think the inner rubber layer is thick enough to compensate for the volume the battery will take up.
one thing to note 2 Samsung batteries back to back with stickers and one NFC Annette removed are thinner than some of the generic extended batteries ive looked into.
Interesting to know. If you have dimensions for the batter, please share. Thanks.

Oh man! I completely missed that about the logo on the back. Forget it. It will look awful and i don't think it's a good idea to have the battery exposed. @#&%*!

Watch Seidio.com they informed me via email that they are coming out with an extended battery and soon after a convert case (comparable to Otterbox, Ballistic in protection). I'm not sure if it will work with other manufactures batteries but it should.
@Italiankd. Perhaps the logo could be cut out and then placed back on the battery from the outside. I just checked out pictures of the Cyclops case, and its the same issue.

i was thinking... if i could find one of theses cases with out the notch cutout in the corner:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-TPU-B...Accessories&hash=item20c7308a1b#ht_896wt_1165
i could cut away the lil bit that needs removed for the extended back to fit a bam! what do you guys think? id think it would be best for me anyway as i dont want extra thinkness i just want to protect he screen from drops. so only the sides need a bit of protection.
I bought the one on the Gillebob's Mobilefun UK link, from Hong Kong directly. They have higher capacity better models. Mine was 2200 mAh model and cost me only $40 delivery included. I do not keep it on the phone all the time since it is bulky. When I need some power I connect the phone and use it while charging it my battery. It is very handy and doec not affect the signal quality or the NFC. I keep it charged and ready for any occasion. Check the pics and if you are interested contact me. :good:
Hows the charge of that thing? Does it actually help extend the battery life by alot?

someone was doing tests on it, and found that it will not fully discharge into the phone's batt (seems logical, you can never empty a battery into another battery)... so what you end up with is:
a case that is larger in every dimension than the hyperion 4200mAH (even with the hyperion extended battery case)
and an end result of less than 4200mAH usable juice.
but you can easily disconnect it, for streamlined (albeit caseless) pocketablility.

I have been using it for about a month now and as it has been said it discharges around 85% to the phone battery. There is always one light remains even if it stops charging the phone.
My phone goes around day and a half with it's own juice and if I need power on the go when I go to beach or something this case comes very handy. I slip it on when I am on the road and if I need the power I just push the button. When I am out of the car, I slip the phone out and I do not have the bulkiness with me. I am happy and waiting for the 4500 mAh one now.
Hows the recharge rate? Like if u get to 1-2% and activate the battery will it still be sufficient enough to continue what you were doing as well as still giving it some juice?

From 2% I kept working and when I finished I left the phone on the table with the wireless on when I came back in 2 hours it was 45% and still charging. I believe this answers your question. :good:

Just ordered. Anyone know anything about it?
Its a good buy if anyone needs the extra battery life. It doesn't add that much bulk and has a case that can be purchased with it.
can u report back about how well it does, i was contemplating gettng this as well
With heavy usage (Emails, Calls, SMS, Being productive with the device, etc...) I get 16 hours on a full charge. With light to moderate usage (Sleep, Down time) I get 20 + hours. I'm on stock everything. With my old stock battery I was getting 6 to 10 hours on a full charge (light to heavy usage). It's a good feeling not worrying about the battery dying and having to charge it when I'm out and about anymore. And even with the case, it fits comfortable in the pocket.
any pictures of the phone with the battery
I was also thinking about buying this battery
I have another extended battery from Amazon they sell for 13
I know they also sell QCell brand for 20
Can anyone compare any extended batteries for gs2?
Did you get a case for Laza? How it feels? Same plastic as back cover or rubber feel?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I will post pictures soon. The case is the same material as the back cover. Only negative thing is that it slips around on surfaces. I am currently thinking of ways to mod with my old TPU case.
Thanks for reply.
I guess I won't be buying that case.
I was hoping that it's made from rubber / silicone material like tpu cases. Have no idea why no company wants to make extended battery cases when so many people use big batteries.
I for myself bought a cheap $3 case on eBay, cut out the back and use it that way, sort of bumper style custom made.

I had purchased a previous extended battery that was ok but not what I was expecting as far a battery life, with the stock original battery I would get about 4 hrs before reaching 20%, with old extended battery I would reach 20% at about 5 to 6 hours, I was hoping for at least 8 hours of use! The use I put the battery thru is reading 20 to 30 emails per day, Internet Web browsing aprx. 1 hr. and music for the remainder of time, so my usage is not that heavy, my HTC HD2:laugh: with extended battery easily made it all day and part of next day!:good: and my usage on HTC HD2 was very heavy compared to my Galaxy S2! I would estimate almost 4 times as much! so hopefully this battery will do better! Is there a list of extended batteries with life times noted anywhere?, I did a quick search but just get little tid bits.
Which extended battery you talking about? Which brand?
I see like 5 being sold on Amazon.

Guys, this battery is the best.
I'm a really heavy user and have all things on full time sync, including Gmail. And this battery lasts the longest. Not sure if it's really 3800 or whether it's has nfc built-in like advertised.
But I've used 3500 battery that's sold on Amazon for $13, and this one so far feels stronger.
Will see how it will work, o ly time could tell, but do far I'm very happy with this purchase.
BTW, the case they sell is really nice too. Maybe it's made from plastic, but feels soft to touch, kind of like silicone. And since no one makes any cases for extended battery, I'm glad I've bought their case as well !

Yeah this battery is really good I am getting good use out of it. I am a very heavy user and I get almost the whole day out of it. I havent tested out the NFC but I am sure it works. Also I like thew case it is great, I also used to use the seido case for the stock battery and it came with a face clip and the phone now fits the face clip with the extended battery and case on. That really makes me happy.
I just received my battery the other day and I am a VERY HEAVY use and at the end of a 12 hour day I am around 50% which is awesome! Also the NFC and to have greater range then the stock Samsung batteries both the nexus extended and the stock one that came with our phones just an fyi update

It's a great battery, and it ships from California so you don't have to wait 3 weeks like you do for the cheap ones that ship from China. However, I should say that I purchased one of the cheap ones ($7.50, including the replacement humpback cover, which is identical to the Laza one) from China on eBay and, other than taking forever and a day to arrive, it's as good as the Laza if not better.
The case lasted 2 weeks and then the top corner snapped off when I took it out of my pocket. Wish I could find a simple gel case that will fit.

Ordered this battery on Amazon and got it over the weekend.
The battery life is GREAT, however it does NOT support NFC.
NFC works perfectly on my phone with the stock battery, with this battery it does not work at all.
If you want great battery life and don't care about NFC then it's a great battery, if you want NFC you'll have to find another battery.
Good battery for prize ijust got it and love

Hey all,
I have the VZW GNexus, and I'm thinking about buying the 2100mAh battery for a bit more battery life out of it. I already have two portable chargers(one 6000mAh, another 3000mAh. What? I don't like running out of power. ), but I'd like to be able to last just a bit longer before needing to charge. Now, the problem is, I also managed to get my hands on the special back cover with the design that was given out to Google employees during Christmas 2012, and I'd hate to have to get rid of it. Could anyone with the official extended battery tell me if the stock cover will fit with the extended battery in?
Thanks!
it might, i think i accidentally put it on mine when i first got it but something didnt look right or fit right.
Mine fits perfect. I actually like the feel better.

With the stock cover? That's great to hear!
I have that now kind of, extended battery and stock case, but broke the bottom right clip trying to get it on... It puts stress on the clips for sure, be careful.... Wouldn't wanna hurt that limited edition cover lol
Edit: took the case off that was holding the battery cover on more or less, it stays on now, the broken clip doesn't make it stick out, it's in somehow... But it bulges a little, I don't have another cam to post a pic unfortunately...

The VZW OEM EXT battery works perfect in the OB Commuter with no door. If that is something you are interesting in.
My next project is to dremel the hard plastic on the inside of the Defender to fit one of those fat third party batteries with all that supposed extra juice. I have read guides on how to do this in sub forums for other devices. If all goes well the soft rubber that goes on the outside of the Defender holds in the battery with minimal bulge. Will report back after I attempt this.

I'm not sure how people are saying the stock back fits with the verizon extended battery. I bought the extended vzw battery and backplate when i bought my phone. The original backplate partially snaps on, at the top and bottom of the phone. the sides will not snap shut due to the slight increase in battery thickness.
I also have bought an anker battery (amazon) that is rated at 2200 mah. It is identical in size to the stock 1850 battery and fits perfectly under the original backplate. the downside is that this battery is designed for the tmobile galaxysS2 and does not have the nfc chip (not an issue for me as i do not use it anyway). I will provide the link to the battery below that also includes a wall charger. For 20 dollars you get the two batteries and the wall charger. I'd say the battery life of these ankers are less than the verizon 2100 mah but certainly more than the oem 1850.
http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Batteri...&qid=1362421935&sr=8-1&keywords=anker+verizon
tl;dr: the vzw 2100mah will not fit behind stock backplate. these anker ones will and are a good deal.
God I love that Google battery door. Show a pic!
The stock extended battery most certainly fits under the standard battery door. It has a tiny bulge but works fine no mod needed.

Hey guys,
I looked thru the posts and didn't see anything like this....so thought I'd share.
I bought the trident electra case because of the extra Batt, which didn't perform well. Only Re-charges oem Batt 35-50% despite its claim of 2000m.
So I modded my case to fit Both the HyPerion extended & trident aux Batt.
First run is today, so will update with Batt life #'s coupled. I will most likely dump the trident batt if it doesn't perform well together. I'm eager to drop in the zero lemon, as there is plenty of room with it gone. All in all, I like that the case isn't all TPU like the Otter, it just feels nicer, and looks better to me. With that said, not sure how it will perform during a drop test. ..especially with its new weight. ..Here are some pics as well. .. best thing is it only took 10 mins with a straight edge and razor knife.

Holy crap that thing looks like a stealth tank! I have the Kraken for this phone and it dwarfs that case, thanks for the pics though.
I have a ZL battery and was thinking of getting this case. Do you think it would fit with modding? From your pics, it doesn't look like it could but I may be wrong. The ZL is really wide, almost as wide as the phone and the case seems to indent in on the sides. Did you have to do any modding to get your regular extended battery to fit. Thanks!

Not sure about the ZL fitting, I can measure the maximum width later today.
The only real work i had to do to the back case was snip off two clips at the top of batt compartment and slightly shave down the edges of the trident batt holder, so that it is flush with Batt. You can see it in this pic if you zoom in.

Thanks for doing this! So I measured my ZL and the width is 2 3/8" (sent my brain back to school a little, hurts!)
So it seems the ZL will be too wide for this case without a lot of modification. I should get my case tomorrow, I'll have a look at it and see if it's feasible or if it would just end up butchering everything.
Trident + Anker
Okay,
I also bought the anker you try out. Partly because all the testing on the forms indicates it has longer run time, and partly curios if it's thinner and might offer a better fit. I haven't tested it yet for battery life, but it is a smidge thinner and offers a better fit. See pic below-anker on the left.
Tried load pics. ..but unable to now.???
It looks like you cut out the inner shell and battery door for the battery. Does the battery door need to be installed or can the Trident be install without it? Also, do you have to have the aux battery in it with the extended battery?

So this wont work with the ZL but will with Hyperion/QCell/etc 4x00 mAh varieties. So my QCell 4200 + this 2000 gives me 6200, nearly the same with far better protection. hmmm...

This is on my third cycle of Anker ext / coupled with trident aux. Heavy use 1st day and normal use next day and a half.
This is not tested scientifically, not in a lab or by a professional-just MY observations with MY usage.
All usage pics posted are with auto dim,
No gps ever, no batt saver apps,occasional blue tooth, occasional media player, occasional games. Lots of calls and tons of email, as I use my phone for work and process roughly 75-100 emails and 50 calls a day.

In looking through the threads, the Zl is supposed to be only as thick as the Hyperion?
With that said you could probably mod in the Zl plus trident aux batt for a monster 9000Mah!
The inside back of trident case with aux batt installed is flush all the way down..... it might be more work than its worth, but the thought is so enticing....

I had the same problem with the hyperion. I fixed this by making the holes in the snap points a little larger. You can use a razor knife and gently turn in half circle motions. This will widdle down the material just enough to make it a nice fit.

Well. Ive done some seaeching and couldn't find anything so here I am.
Does anyone know of a way to make the extended battery compatible with Otterbox's Armor series cases. I have seen seberal modifications for the defender. Bht none for armor. And I don't want to not use this case, cause I know how rough I am on my phone and I know it'll break. But the battery just doesn't seem to cut it either.
Any ideas? Links? Anything?

You may have to remove some of this protective foam and also cut a hole through your Galaxy S3 back. Try to measure the difference and by doing this, at least a regular 3000mAh Samsung battery may fit inside.
Since I don´t own a Otterbox Armor Case and just a "simple" Otterbox Defender, I don´t have any possibility to perform this mod.

Is the 3000 the standard battery? I can't remember for sure. And I'm not looking for a 7000 ot anything crazy. I just need to be able to run a full day on heavy use.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
The 3000mAh battery is a bigger battery in comparison to the stock 2xxxmAh which is included with the S3 when you buy it. You may have to compare the stock battery and the enhanced battery in order to be sure if my idea would work out, to remove some of the protective foam or rubber or whatever this material is made off and to cut a hole through your S3 battery back.
Otherwise I´m not quite sure if I´d wish to perform some modding on a rather expensive case like the otterbox armor

I've got both of these and I can confirm that the official Samsung 3000 mAh extended battery fits inside the Otterbox Armor case, if you leave the phone back off.
I haven't measured the difference in thickness, but it does seem to feel a little tighter when you clip the Otterbox on. How this might affect the waterproofing I don't know - and I'm not going to test it!
I can say that this has, if anything, improved the performance of the case. With just the standard battery and back there seemed to be a slight 'give' at the bottom of the case which made pressing the back button difficult - I would have to jab at the button or squeeze the case to get it to register. Now with the extended battery it works just fine - though you still have to poke it a bit since they made the opening for the back and menu buttons a little small for my chubby fingers!
As a follow on to my last post, I can also confirm that the armor is definitely not waterproof with the extended battery. Not even a little.
I'm looking for an extended battery for my phone, i heard that Qcell was the recommended one, but after some looking, i found more batteries that are higher than the Qcell (4100mAh), the highest one i can fine is 4480mAh,so im not sure that those batteries are legit. but i might still get the Qcell since its recommended. though i need someones input on these batteries first

I'm looking for an extended battery for my phone, i heard that Qcell was the recommended one, but after some looking, i found more batteries that are higher than the Qcell (4100mAh), the highest one i can fine is 4480mAh,so im not sure that those batteries are legit. but i might still get the Qcell since its recommended. though i need someones input on these batteries first

If you want batteries that list an MAH that could possibly be fake then get it. I learned my lesson ordering no name brand batteries and had a 3800mah extended from china performing worse than my stock oem 1800mah battery. If those are truely 4200 then they'll probably deteriorate extremely fast just like my generics. Stick with QCell they're still working perfect after a year for some members that have had it that long. Check the QCell thread. It's worth the money to get it instead of those since you'll end up spending money on one of those batteries and then again to replace it with a QCell lol. You can get the 4100MAH for around 20$ on Amazon. It might be only the ones with the white back covers that are 20 or black and the other is more expensive. If you do get a QCell and want to trade for a black cover let me know I have a Qcell black battery cover I'm trying to switch to a white one.
OK thanks man , so I'll stick with Qcell then, thought I was also want to get the texcell tmp or whatever the case is called, I heard the it fit the Qcell fine

A bunch of the guys that bought the Trexcell 3800mah battery reported having issues with it after like a month. I read a bunch of people saying that it wasn't holding the charge well. Check out the QCell thread its about 40 pages but its full of a lot of info. I read over it like 4 times no lie before I settled on the QCell since i didnt really want to get another fail extended.
Go QCell all the way I love it. Closest thing to zero lemon for our device. Do yourself a solid and grab the trexcell extended battery tpu case with the QCell. Just an example of my average battery life....

Is this the tpu case http://compare.ebay.com/like/271225097350?var=lv<yp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar ?
Is the the q-cell your talking about? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006TQOJXI/ref=mp_s_a_13?qid=1339468040&sr=8-13
The trexcell tpu case works with the q-cell 4100mah? Also, what do you use for screen protection or does the trexcell cover that as well?
Yes and yes. I have the privacy screen tinted protector.

If you want to trade for a black qcell back cover let me know lol. Here's a picture of my usage I'm a extremely heavy user. Brightness at 100 with auto sync and data on the whole time. I did have comadose script installed but didn't use greenify or ds battery saver till recently.

One last question , and I know this may sound silly.. With the trexcell TPU case and Qcell... if you lay the phone on its back will it lay straight/flat? I use gravity screen on/off and am wondering it will work because I don't know since there is a bulge if the phone will lay flat or not ( I don't like to lay it on it's screen )

The phone lays flat on its back with the extended battery cover without an issue for me. It even has these little dots that stick out in the corners of where the extended battery is so it gives it a better grip when you lay it down.
