Hi,
Just wondering has anyone gotten the mugen extended battery and found a decent enough casing for the extended battery?
Is it possible if i use those third party case for those 3800 mah batteries and hook it up with the seidio SURFACE™ Extended battery case?
Can you guys share how you guys used to cover your gnex with those extended batteries (3800 / 4000 mah batteries)?
cheers,
Alex
I'm using the trexcell tpu case from amazon. Also using the Hyperion 3800 battery. Case fits very well. Very happy with it.

Thanks for your reply. How does the trexcell tpu case feel? Is it a fingerprint magnet? Does it protect the phone fully? Possible to snap some pics over?

It is not too bad. I got the cruzerlite for the regular battery it has the matte finish as well as some glossy. This case has the glossy all the way around. So i am assuming it will show some fingerprints. I have only had on the phone for one day.

How about the front? Have you seen the hyperion tpu case for galaxy nexus?
I wonder if the seidio (SURFACE™ Extended For use with Seidio Innocell 3800/3500mAh Extended Life Battery - Black) would work with those third party bacttery case like yours?
could someone please advise.
I have not seen a Hyperion tpu case. If I remember correctly from some of the stuff I read the seidio extended wasn't that good. I will get a front picture tomorrow

My bad I just noticed the case on amazon. The one thing I noticed about it is that the volume rocker is covered. The case that came with the phone had same thing. Whenever I put it in my car mount the volume would go down just by snugging it up. The trexcell has the rocker uncovered. Not sure if the same thing with happen with Hyperion.

Thanks!! Awaiting the front pic ... hope you're enjoying ya gnex
Last but not least, how's the battery life for the hyperion 3800mah battery? Good??
I am still on the first cycle with the batterry so i will have to wait to give a true opinion after a few cycles.
Thanks!! I believe the case would be able to protect the screen.
How's then charging like? First charge till 100% and leave it there for additional 6 to 8 hours.
Am thinking of getting Hyperion or onite extended battery.
There should be more extended battery cases ... There is only a handful of out there.

I'm using a Hyperion Extended Battery on my Sprint GNex and the Seidio Active Case fits superbly on it.
Good to hear. Thanks
I got about 4 hours 20 minutes on the first charge with the hyperion
So little ...?

I just went back to my original battery after a 5.5 hr battery life this morning. I think that one has crapped the bed.
Honestly. Not too impressed. Will see how a couple of more cycles go. If it stays the same i will be returning it too amazon.

I understand upon receiving the battery, the first charge should be done up to 100% and leave it there running for additional 6-8 hours. My question is - Do we have to power off the phone or just charge with the phone still on?
For the next few charges, charge with the phone off or on? Can we leave it overnight?
It does not say on the insert either way.

Then how are we to know how to charge so that we can prolong the lifespan of the battery ...

Been using this with a new battery I just bought and I must say it works fantastically. I no longer charge my phone with the usb cord. I think in the long run using an external charger prolongs battery life as in my observation the battery while on the external charger doesn't heat up.

I have the same thing. Works great. Red light when charging, Green light when battery is fully charged.
Love it.
^ You should keep the lid open while charging, although it doesn't generate heat but it never hurts to have more air.
I love this charger too, just waiting on my spare battery!
A few questions please.
1. Would the new samsung 2000mah battery fit in this? I mean does it have a few millimeters of extra space to accomodate a thicker battery?
2. And would an S2 in an otterbox case or casemate tough case fit in the cradle?
Thanks!

It definitely has lots of space to accommodate a thicker battery.
The cradle only fits the phone with super thin cases or without case.
It really is such a nice accessory. Since I got it I never need to worry about battery life since I bring or charge the spare while I'm using the phone.

Has anyone found any cases with a built in battery? There are some pretty good ones for the iPhone and was wondering if our phone had any.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
There's a few on amazon. I ordered the chromo battery case. All the battery cases have bad reviews because of overheating and not lasting long. I can confirm both are correct. The case is suppose to hold a 2100 MAH charge, but with a full charge it last for about an hour of charging (more or less). NOT WORTH IT.

What he said. Work bought me one of the extended battery cases. Its crap for protection, external battery is stated to have 3200mA but I don't see it. I came from the iPhone 4 with a 2800mA mophie case. If mophie is releasing a case, I would hold out for that. If mophie is true to form, the case will provide good protection WITH a reliable external battery.

Can you tell me step by step how to make it?
The last battery I got is from Batterybay.net for a 3000mAh battery with a thick stupid cover.
I found that they released a 4300mAh battery with a flip cover on it. You may give it a try. But the cover is really a bit stupid and thicken the phone.

If I was you, I'd buy a spare battery for now until mophie releases it. There are photos of it already but not release date has been given

I doubt anyone but Hyperion made a case that fits around their battery. Personally I'd ditch the hideous looking Hyperion door and pick up the official Samsung 3000mAh battery kit and a Diztronic Extended Battery Case, assuming you want a thin device with 50% more juice I never understand why third parties have to make such ugly doors for their batteries.

Check Amazon, I searched the other day and I believe there were at least two cases that claim to fit hyperions battery.
Sedio Extended case with stand
I have sedio case and battery cover and I am satisfied with it
Found one

I purchased the trident electra because it has an extra Batt on board. Unfortunately, this coupled with stock oem battery wasn't enough. So i modded the case to fit both the trident batt and the HyPerion. I think the case is big enough to hold the zero lemon, which is what I'm going to eventually put in. Also, it only took about 10 minutes with a razor knife and straight edge.
I like that it doesnt look like a sled, or boat. Don't get me wrong is still Big.

Came across this case that looks as if it fits the larger 3600-3800mah battery's, if you notice it bulges out the back. Decent price as well for that added protection.

need help in battery selection
Hi anybody using any battery other then original one... how s the back up ... plz suggest any good battery for i9250....
I am using Seidio's extended case with kickstand with ZeroLemon's battery with no problems
Anybody got links to cases for our phones with these batteries? I've got both the hyperion and zerolemon on constant rotation with a wall charger. Love these batteries ....hate the boring cases. Any ideas??
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I am very interested in this also. I am thinking about buying the zerolemon 7000mAh Extended Battery but don't know if the included case looks good or not. I already have a anker 4400 battery but the cheap Hong Kong honey comb case I bought sucks. I read about the Seidio active case but it's expensive imo because we have to buy the Seidio cover door also. Meanwhile I read about the Laza RuggedFusion hybrid case, looks promising, did you know it?
Just bought mine tonight. Will get it in 3 days. So stoked.

Looks good. It's the pebble blue phone but which color combination is the case?
Do you recommend the case over the zerolemon included case which comes with their 7000mAh Extended Battery?
Do the buttons work ok? I am undecided between this case, the Seidio back door and Seidio Extended case or the zerolemon 7000mAh Extended Battery With case.
Thanks
