I know the Siedio is the way to go, but my dad is thinking of getting this battery and back..
Honestly I like the look of this back MUCH MORE than the Siedio, but don't know about the quality of the battery..

3500mAh extended battery, thats the best you can get at the moment, and let me tell you, this battery and a good kernel and/or battery tweak will keep you going for more then a good day!
Recommend a 3500mAh battery. you'll be amazed
I have both batteries. I also like the back on the ebay battery better, but it will not fit in the seidio car dock. I've noticed no difference between the two batteries.

Yea it does look MUCH better than the Siedio style.. I don't know why Siedio didn't make their back like this one.. But I am going to be ordering two of them from this guy (Guy is located in USA too, not CHINA)
I'll post back here with some reviews and pictures..
It looks like the fit of the cover is good, what about the materiel for the cover? I see so many that looks like CHEAP PLASTIC, how does this one feel? Like the rubbery feeling of the stock one?
THANKS
Got a Seidio convert extended rugged case and the 3500mah extended battery a few days ago.
The case is huge but seems pretty darn durable. It fits well in the holster on my 2" duty belt.
The extended battery is definitely lasting much longer than the original. Getting well over a full day of heavy use on a charge.
If you are on the fence about the case and extended battery combo, I'd say it's definitely worth the $90.

I bought the extended battery & rugged seidio case to fit it. Best damn thing eever. I recommend it to everyone I know, even strangers! I love it!!! Amazing investment. I've literally thrown this at walls, into streets, dropped it, & from very high. Not one iota of damage. Great.choice!

ha nice might need to look into that picked up a the battery and standard back for 40 on amazon was pretty excited . battery has been 2 days easily for me with using nav, winamp and etc.
Hey! I was wondering about an item just like that. I bought the Seidio Surface with a holster. And I can say, it does not fit my 2" belt.
Is this the only one that fits that size duty belt?
I'll take AOKP anything

Will the phone fit comfortably in your pocket with the extra thickness? I am thinking about getting one as my original battery isn't lasting long at all.
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.

ill get the dimms when i can get my hands on some calapers.
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.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
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

Does anyone have a Mugen 4600 battery along with one of the other extended batteries?
Wondering if it is the same size as he other extended batteries. The Anker, Hyperion, QCell all seem to be about the same thickness.
If it is the same size then you could use the same door and TPU case that comes from the other companies. If it is thicker then there isn't a case out there that will fit the Mugen.
Thanks in advance.
id like to know this too!

I have the mugen 4600mah, lasts so long! The quality of the rear extended cover is not amazing, the little stand on the rear has broken off with no force whatsoever, emailed mugen for a replacement yesterday, very good battery though!
Anyone know if any of the other extended rear covers fit the mugen battery?

I got the 3300mA before at $19. And now they change the price to $16.79. Feel so sad......:crying::crying::crying:
But anyway, the battery life now is really great and I am interested in getting their 4300mA one. If anyone tried that, can you post the comment here?
