Does anyone have this case for their Nexus?
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Rech...1345649663&sr=8-3&keywords=battery+case+nexus
I've been looking around, and aside from getting a 3rd party battery with a larger back, this might be something to look into. I love the extended battery cases for iPhones because those are slim and pack a nice punch, but this just looks thick and clunky to me.
Anyone have any experience or photos of it?
Or do you have any recommendations for a different case?
I saw someone selling one of these in the marketplace a few weeks ago... PM'd a question about it but never got a response.
Based on the amazon reviews, doesn't seem to be a great product. Looks bulky and cheap. If you search ebay, you can get them there for about $20.
One thing that jumps out from the start is how the headphone jack would be used with type of case? It seems awfully bulky at the bottom end and doesn't have a nice wide opening for the jack to make it through the thick case.
You would be better off just buying one of the huge extended batteries IMO.
Yeah these type of batteries dont offer anywhere near as much extra juice as advertised. I personally use my regular OEM battery and keep an external microusb charger with me that runs off rechargeable batteries for the times I do use my phone a lot. Or you could just buy a spare battery and keep that charged but I would stay away from these types. I used one once and returned it after it took forever to charge and only charged my phone I think 30% on a full charge.

Any suggestions for different accessories to serve the same purpose?
Skip the 3500 MAH as there seems to be some battery door issues.
Get some back up batteries and an extra charger. Throw an extra battery in your wallet and you will be happier for it!
Get a high quality case! Seidio makes a nice active line, Casemate "Barely There" looks pretty slick, and the TPU cases out there are GREAT. Find something you like that covers and protects without too much bulk. Also, bonus if they are easy enough to get on and off.
Buy PLENTY of MicroUSB cables. Trust me, as I have 4 in my house and one in my purse to take care of any charging needs.
Buy a quality Car Charger. You can find good ones from reputable online sites for not much money or goto walmart and buy the one for BlackBerry Storm and it will work brilliantly. This phone is very sensitive to chargers, so if its blackberry or HTC approved, it should work just fine.
Root your phone with NAND! This is the biggest thing in getting the most out of your phone if you are not afraid and feel pretty confident. think of how many people JB their iPhones? Well this is actually more essential to get what you want and make the device as autonomous as possible.
GOOD LUCK!

Yes there are serious female geeks. My purse is silver and stylish and I own about 30+ pairs of shoes. Yet I have a full electronics workbench with solering station, MM, drill, Dremel, and full sets of hand tools in metric and us ( sans an osc scope - waiting for a DSO nano ). Parts hidden in colorful rolling drawer carts.
My boyfriend is equally geeky ( he is a .net enthusiast) and we bond over making arduino projects, music applications, and learning from each other.
Maybe someday we can be like the great Ladyada and her crew.

also no problems with the 3500mah door. I've popped mine on and off about a dozen times at least in the last two weeks.
regular guy, pocket kept except at a desk or a car. I posted this review on another forum for the battery:
Positives besides the battery life:
when i put it on a table face up it looks like it's hovering all the time. It looks awesome. Everyone is curious.
It's very protective of the camera lens. It's like impossible to damage the lens unless you actually try.
The material feels cool.
It now weighs enough to be used as a ranged weapon (1d6+2 19-20/x2 if anyone is wondering)
Negatives besides the bulkiness:
Not enough holes at the speaker, I'm not sure why this is an issue at all, i'm disappointed in Seidio's design testing. The lack of holes actually makes a difference in sound quality and volume, albeit VERY minor, I noticed it when I swapped and I did further testing and now it bothers me.
Covers the red rim around the camera lens. I honestly liked seeing that red rim. I know, I'm reaching, but I really did like it.
where can i find a girl like that!!!
Anybody know if this battery is any good?

this seems to be the same ones that have multiple sources on ebay.
http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_trkpar...&_sticky=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_sop=15&_sc=1
The good things is that it looks like there are only USA sellers, so odds are your going to get a better product than a chinese knock off. Not a guaranteed winner, but possibly better than most. If you like a suggestion on good batteries, ive had a wonderful experience with these here http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=ev...2200mah&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313
The galilio ones. I own about 3 and i can noticeably tell they are superior to my OEM battery and they are no extra bulk and super cheap.
These batteries look good but I was wondering about the the battery cover that is shipped with them. I have a seidio 3500 right now and the way the battery cover for it is tapered, it will still fit in my holster that I bought for the evo. I wonder if these battery covers for the 2200mah batteries will also allow it to fit in the holster.
I just wish someone would make a 1750mah or 1800mah that ACTUALLY tests at those numbers. That would be good enough for me and would fit under the OEM cover.
Hi
A 4500mAH Mugen extended battery battery is supposed to be shipping 'soon' for the Note:
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...or-samsung-galaxy-note-with-battery-door.html
At that price ($109), i'll be letting someone else sample/report on it first!!
I was expecting the Mugen for the note to be a bit bigger, but it is the same capacity as their extended battery for the S2.

5000mAH Chinese extended battery: http://www.aliexpress.com/product-f...ith-Back-cover-4pcs-lot-High-wholesalers.html
Chunky!
I've ordered the Mugen. I'll report back on performance in a few weeks once I've got it and cycled it a couple of times.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
And I ordered "el cheapo" from ebay. Will report back once it arrives from HK.
I got the same cheap Chinese battery. Two batteries, wall charger, car USB charger, USB cord - all for around 10 bucks. The batteries are rated at 2500 mA, but get discharged almost twice as fast as the stock one. The wall charger is poor quality, I had to open it to solder the leads back in place.
All that considered, the deal is pretty decent for the price.
With that price, u can buy 3 extra OEM Samsung Note battery 3x2500=7500mah and still keep the thin look on the Note.
I love the Mugen batteries except none of the cases fit. Does anyone know if the bumper cases fit with the bigger batteries??
Buy Sanyo Eneloop 5000mAh, multi purpose mobile charger pack.
I wonder if Mugen is going to make an OEM sized one with 3000 mah Those are usually, price wise, comparable to the original batteries, and have a little more umff to them! But I think 110 dollars for a battery is a little over priced.
On the Mugen Website it now has a product image and it looks like the battery cover has a kickstand. Or is that just a generic image place holder?
**EDIT**
Yes it is a battery cover with built in kickstand. Nice!
And the expanded cover is available in black OR white (or red?), and it looks much better than I would have expected. Still chunky, but might be easier to hold.
EDIT: wonder what the effect is on the external speaker?
Love Mugen quality batteries, Ive been using them since my dell axim days

I live in Spain, and I have purchased about 4 of these batteries and I have never once paid customs / importation taxes.
Looks good, the only thing that worries me is the real capacity. the 30Euro samsung battery says its 2500mah and its really2450-2500 mah battery. But usually, according to tests from the past. Mugen batteries rarely reach 75 percent of their advertised capacity. And thats a ripoff. Ive been considering buying mugen 3200mah for S2, but then I found out its really a ~2600mah battery for sky high price. I will be surprised if this battery proves to have at least 4000mah in the future when someone does a discharge test on this expensive piece of thing.
P.S. also to the wise guy saying he will buy a cheap ebay 5000mah, those are probably even worse than stock sammy battery with double the thickness.

I've bought some other cheap batteries from eBay. I would suspect it's 3500-4000mah. The one Mugen I've had was close to the advertised capacity. I'd say at least 85%.

Mugen is a dutch company so you wont need to pay custom duties if you are in the EU.
According to their website Mugen are based in China
How much weight does it add to the unit?
Does it make one hand operation more difficult due to extra thickness? I can sort of manage one hand operation with a lanyard currently.
Anyone has bouhgt the Mugen-Battery-Pack and can post some pictures or better still a video?
I'm interested about the dimension/handling of the package and can't find something like that!
Thank's! Best regards!

I'm interested, but it looks lke it will make it pretty thick, and I like the portabilty I have, meaning, I like the fact it fits in my pants pocket without being to bulky. I viewed the phots with the battery and the case it comes with, it will be pretty thick.
I'm using the stock battery right now. I have two of them and a charger that let's me charge the second battery outside my phone. I have $10 amazon credit and was thinking of getting the zero lemon but that looks like overkill. I have the otterbox commuter case and don't feel like going much bigger than that. I would like whatever case to at least offer decent protection as well. Am I just better off throwing a spare charged battery in my pocket and swapping batteries if nescessary? I do have a huge anker charger that i could use as well but it would pull my pants to my ankles if i put it in my pocket. Maybe I should find a thinner and lighter battery pack?
Looks like a preorder to arrive early October.

I don't usually like bug bulky battery cases, but at that price it's i good investment to keep in my bag for those occasion where battery life might be a concern. Also the 10000mAh ZeroLemons are crazy big and bulky, as to be nearly unusable to me. This is large but manageable for occasional use. Went ahead and ordered one, as I have a trip in November where this will come in handy.
Just though other might be interested.
I already got mine from auction site for less. It looks exactly the same without the branding. It fits well and feels great in the hand, obviously with some added thickness.
Yes, don't like the bulk of these things generally. Definitely won't be using it on a day-to-day basis, but it will be helpful on those rare occasions or it's useful.
Don't get me wrong I love ZeroLemon for their reliable battery cases that have a huge capacity. But nowadays I just rock my Anker 10000mAh battery pack which doesn't add bulk to the phone and fits perfectly in my other pocket.
Just got mine and as expected it pretty big and not something I'd want to use on a day to day basis. I can't imagine how anyone can deal with the 10,000mAh battery cases', they must be MONSTROUS!
Also there isn't much of a lip on the case so no dropping it face down (as if you could control that). I wish it more of a lips to protect the screen. I'm just going to have to be careful.
You can get to the fingerprint scanner ok, it just a bit more odd than the already odd placement.

I understand, I have three different battery packs (20,100mAh, 10,400mAh and a 8,000mAh), but in certain circumstances where I know I will need the extra juice I can throw in the ZeroLemon case and then turn it on when needed. Especially when I need the extra use but will be needing to use my device for phone and pictures at an event, no cables needed and less risk of damaging the USB port while on the go. Honestly I will rarely have use for this, but when I do it will be a nice option. But I can't phantom those that use this or worse the larger version as a daily driver.
