My new fav Battery door Team GB lion - Galaxy S III Accessories

I know, its a bit cheesy, but for the last couple months I have been trying to buy a specific battery door for my S3. I finally won one last night at half the price I've been bidding and it arrived today.
*Sorry for the poor quality pic. Taken on wife's D4.

Very cool, where did you find it?

Yet another extended battery + cover option ($10)

I know one gets what u pay for, and the only extended battery of mention is Mugen, but I thought I share this:

I guess I should mention, that two or so months ago, all these "chinese extended batteries" weren't around for the glide, now ebay is flooded with them. And I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck with them. And yes, mugen extended is still the battery of choice. Wasn't there "acesoft" batteries at one point too?

I will try one and see if it works great with the ICS leak.

Just bought one i will report its qauilty when it arrives.

Yeah, I just stumbled upon this and would love to see how it works. Sounds like it could be an excellent way to spend $10.
I recently got a "chinese extended battery" of a similar make via ebay for my gfs HTC Thunderbolt, and she tells me that, and i quote "seems to last just a lil bit longer" than her stock battery.
I also just purchased one for the glide today, so I'll see how it holds up. I may just pay the $80 for the Mugen battery, because I hear nothing but awesome things.
But i also use a portable phone charger, which works great. Marware 2,600mah portable charger, that i got for $5 via dealnews back in july ( http://dealnews.com/Marware-2-600-m-Ah-AMPED-Portable-Charger-for-5-5-s-h/592609.html) I think they go for $20 or so on amazon? but it works GREAT! a lil odd to keep in your pocket though.. lol, and theres a detachable usb cable u must also haul around

Has anyone received one of these yet? Interested in one, but want to know if it is any good...

Gs2 trade for Gnex, plus cash?

I've got the offer to trade my gs2 plus 150$ for the gsm unlocked Gnex,, is it worth the trade? The phone is 2 weeks old, and no damage except the the minimum tear and wear since the phone was used with no case
Thanks for your feedback

Then no. Why fork out 150?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
HELLLLZ NO! You gotta be crazy to add $150 to the trade.. Maybe like 20 bucks if that lol
Well, keeping in mind the other end paid full price for the nexus from the play store, 380$ after tax, I paid 150 for my gs2, am saving my upgrade which is due now for the end of the year, I don't know, am scratching my head, lol
Am getting tired of flashing, and I really love the early updates on the nexus phones, software updates kills the need to buy a new phone every 6 months or so, am about to pull the trigger guys lol help!!!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Just wait for the next Nexus. Why pay that much for such an old phone? You'll be able to upgrade to the new one for like $50 more.

Terrible deal for you. Sell your S2 for $300, and buy this http://forums.redflagdeals.com/galaxy-nexus-jelly-bean-4-1-1-a-1228759/. all about patiently looking for good deals to come!
Well, I traded the phone only, kept the cash, deal was done with a close friend, so no biggie, so long, sgs2 forums, great developers over here, going to see what is like on the forum downstairs,

Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, I actually almost gave him the money, but I started to point out how long the phone had been out, the condition of the phone which is not bad, at the end its all good I just don't want to pay full price for a phone on a contract, I had already bought the Sgs2 when the nexus came out, I had the first nexus and nexus s , so now am back on track lol that's lame but at least I ain't getting an iphone

Otterbox defender

My local sprint store has the defender now so if youve been waiting for it you might want to give them a call. Fits perfect but does add bulk to the phone. I took the screen protecter off also because im using a zagg hd.

So with the defender being huge and a rubber shell how is pocket access?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
just got mine last night. sprint store was supposed to call me when they got them in. glad i found this thread.
For those that are lucky enuff to have found these in stores near by, were they all black or did they have any of the other two colors? The guy at my Sprint store is supposed to call me when they get them and I want the Glacier one, but all I have heard was people finding black ones so far. If black's the only one being shipped I'll end up going with that if I find it first since I can't stand carrying this phone around without it being protected.
Two things for me is no way will I pay that for a piece of plastic and rubber. Plus with that wide of a case my thumb wouldn't be able to reach the opposite side of the screen. No single hand tapping anymore.
Think I am just going to get a cheapo rubber case to give me some grip on the back.

Cheap extended battery from eBay

So I got bored and picked up a cheap 3800mah battery of eBay for around $10. I wanted to get the laza one with nfc but it isn't available in Canada. Once been running the cheapie for a few days now. I no longer have to charge at work and after 9 hours of light use on the weekend I am down less than one quarter.
Biggest downside is the supplied back doors not quite fit right.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
Just an update. Battery life is consistently good. I leave work without charging at around 50%. Previously if I didn't charge while at work I would be down to 10-15%. I can play a hell of a lot of minecraft these days days. The issues with the back turned out to be from some plastic flashing. I cleaned up the edge and it sits snugger than the original back. Not bad for under$10

Extended OEM battery for the T-mobile Galaxy Nexus works great on our phone in the original case too! NFC capable.
Oh I can defiantly agree with that statement with an astrix, the old back does fit but it takes some force to get it to stay completely sealed and after about 6mo I had to replace the back of the device because the clips that held it on no longer worked properly just an FYI.....

I tried one (not that exact one, but nearly identical). It was garbage. When it was on, it was so hot I could barely touch the phone. It didn't fit well, the kickstand was flimsy, and even though it supposedly held the same juice add my stock battery, it only lasted about an hour and a half.
It went back two days after I received it.
It was just up for 24 hrs. Deal is off now. I did not have one myself.
