Otterbox Defender + Worlds largest 7000mah battery - Galaxy S III Accessories

Finally got around to doing this. I took a few pictures but had to use a old droid since I use my phone as a camera. Took 3 pictures, 2 being of the phone with the battery / case and 1 being a comparison to the case that comes with the zerolemon battery.
Here is a thread for the battery:

Here is the otterbox I used: (I will be purchasing the orange / camo one next)

If you have any question fire away, but this is the best way to have AMAZING battery life and awesome protection for your phone.

can you take a pic without the silicone case?
im guessing it goes into the holster fine screen in, but not screen out?

Is the battery getting hot after intensive use????

I threw the holster away the day I got it. I'll be picking up a new case in a day or so and I'll update it then.

I didn't have the right tips for the dremel so I had to use a grind stone, it looks incredibly sloppy but the rubber is so tight on it that I'm not worried about dust. I found the right tips after I was done (imagine that) so the case I do in a few days should look a lot better. No pointers really, you should be able to free hand it.

in addition to pics without the silicone cover, can you take pics with everyone on and show the back near the camera. wondering if theres a gap or something between the rubber and plastic. im glad you had the balls to do this. i didnt think it was possible.

I will show pics without the silicone but I'll update it later when I re do it with the right tool. I thought I posted a picture of the back. There is a gap but the battery seals tightly between the plastic and the silicone. There's definitely no chance of dust getting in but I'll add the picture once I'm home.
And yeah I was getting tired of not having a good case for my extended batteries.

I have been working 7 days a week, family and work come before xda ^^

appreciate the pics man even though you being busy and all
that looks like a precise cut, very nice. any tips on how to get it right the first time?
the only thing that bothers me is the gap between the hardshell and silicone on the back (right under the camera).
i dont really care about the looks, but worry about rain water or whatever getting inside quicker.
since the original back cover is removed, the back and internals are technically more exposed.

Hey man I just purchased this battery and think your idea is awesome. I'm surprised no one has asked exactly how you modded this to make it work. So you cut the hard plastic backing and the outer silicone? The 3rd pic in the OP doesn't look like the silicone was cut.

I don't have a picture, but the case is just like the mesh case in the other topic. Only difference is that it covers the top right area(where the antenna would be in the Korean version) and no holes on the back of the case.

Fits great, I just got my green one in today. It feels great in hand and fits really really well. I'm thinking about getting another color. I really really like it, Ide take pics but i don't have a camera with batteries other than the one on my phone.
I know it doesn't protect the top and bottom of the phone but if your extra careful with your phone (which i am) you don't have to worry about it too much. it has raised edges so it will protect it from a direct face first fall
i have it in black it is very nice and came with a free screen protector that i screwed up trying to put on
I really like the blue one. I have black and red mesh ones and really like them so I'm in for this one too! Will post pics when I receive them

AWESOME 3M Textured Skin!!!

Just thought I'd share with you guys. I saw a post by John.Smith so I actually ordered one and it looks even better in person. This this fits so well on my Captivate. It seems as though it's precision cut by a CNC Machine. It's almost an exact fit. I haven't seen any better for our phone yet. The texture actually gives it a little more grip so it won't so easily slip out of my hand. And I've bought a ton of skins. The material is extremely high quality. It's really easy to put on! It only took me about 5 minutes and now I have an awesome looking phone!!! I LOVE THIS SKIN!!! You guys should check him out on ebay. It's well worth the money!!!

Well... if you're thinking about upgrading to one of the extended batteries then one way to make it so that the battery cover looks alright with this decal would be to make one cut and have it be 2 pieces. with the pattern thats on it if you were to just cut along one of the lines and have the gap somewhere toward the bottom or the top it would still look pretty decent. I've actually been thinking about getting an extended battery myself. I might just order one tonight and then do this myself. I will post this pics when i do.
oh. and another way around buyin the extended battery would just be to buy another stock OEM battery. you can pick one up for about $12-13 now. that's what i have. and depending on the rom you're running you can get pretty awesome battery life. I'm running firefly and phoenix roms and i get between 20-35 hours out of a single charge and i never even have to use my spare battery.
Yes same here, I also ordered an extended battery. I just can't be bothered 2 carry an extra battery...too lazy...

actually it covers literally most of the phone. its way better fitting than any of the other skins out there so far. I've bought a ton of these and none of them are this high of quality. you would seriously need to feel this thing to believe it. the guy who's making them is giving $5.00 off if you take some pics of them and post them somewhere on the net. so really it doesn't cost much at all.

Bumper case

I know that this topic has been discussed before so sorry for a repeat thread but has anyone discovered a bumper case yet for our phone or perhaps tried out a case for a different phone that fits ours?
Perhaps if we get enough people we can contact sgp about making their neo hybrid ex case for the e4gt..

Ebay does in fact have bumper cases, but none with an open back.
Modifying (cutting out the back) the existing ones from what I understand makes the surrounding edges loose.
their are a bunch on ebay that do have the back cut out cant remember who the seller/manufacturer is though. I think this is one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Smoke-Black...ccessories&hash=item35b7e3ef5a#ht_4330wt_1185

I've got three of these (there as cheap as 3.50 shipped if you dig), the green/clear, black/clear and a frost/frost. I've got a white/clear on the way for my white ET4G. I like them personally. Not exactly like the iPhone bumper cases but close enough.
Pictures speak volumes. Can take more if wanted/needed of the other colors.

I'm at work which blocks ebay links but most of the links in this thread point to a version of the case I have. When I get home later (or my notebook at lunch) I can post a link to the exact auction for my green case.
So is that the one with the clear back? If so you can't even tell, it looks like it has an open back.

It is the one with the clear back. I'll get a picture of it off the phone to hopefully capture better how clear it is. In person you can tell its there but IMHO it looks very nice and clean.
Here is a link to the green bumper case I have pictured.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEON-GREEN-...NG-EPIC-4G-TOUCH-D710-PROTECTOR-/400250640556
The attached hopefully gives a better idea of how "clear" the back plastic is. I personally like the added protection for the camera went setting the phone down on a table.
Can you take pictures of the sides please I want to see how it covers the volume and power buttons.
Hope these help, kind of hard to get decent pictures that close without a macro lens.
I should mention that I personally have no trouble with button usage on this case. Though truth be told I've had this type of case on my phone since I walked out of the Sprint store with it.

I honestly have no idea.
Totally taking a guess I FEEL it would loose quite a bit of integrity. While the back is sturdy I can bend it if pushed hard enough. The TPU/Gel/Candy 'bumper' i feel wouldn't have anything to pull it back together and would likely loose shape over time. Then again that whole last bit is my opinion and me more or less talking out my ass. For about or less than 4 bucks shipped I'd say its worth ordering one and giving it a shot if you're really curious about it.
Good luck!

Good point someone just made, you can't see the LED for notifications.
Not a major thing for me but it maybe for some people.
It also makes using the camera a bit of a pain. Useful for proping up the phone though.

Hello everyone,
I'm using the flip cover on my S3 and is exactly what i wanted. The only problem is the led being covered, so, i used a tool that i have to make holes on belts to make one on the cover and now is perfect for me.
See the pic below. The cover is very hard, i had to make a lot of "force" to make the hole.

I doubt they will but I think it would increase sales as a lot of people have pointed out the issue. I can't see how they can solve the issue of using the camera though.
Can someone that owns this case answer me this;
Is this cover protective for the screen in a case of a fall? I mean does it "lock" in place over the screen? If you turn it upside down for example, the flip opens?
I believe its the most basic thing that should be answered (if it does not protect the screen its useless) and no one in any review does this simple test.

Sorry I thought it was clear, no it doesn't lock to the screen so it dropped it could easily flap open.

I got one of these a couple of weeks back for my device. I found it was rather annoying having to hold it at an awkward angle when on the phone. I wish they'd made it flip up or down instead of to the side. It also means you can't hold it very well with your left hand either, as it adds even more width on to the device!
I've switched to a skin thingy now instead, even though it leaves the screen open to damage. I'm still looking to get some kind of plastic cover I can use with the skin I've got though.

doing a mod that allows you to keep a stylistic part (the draco) by making the device look like something scrounged from junk, is silly. and that is where it is as of now.
Is that ceiling tile?

I think it is modelling parts: sheets of modelling plastic, glued together with modelling putty.. and then not bothered to be sanded down, or anything.

3D printers. Must have.
Yeah I didn't finish it. I'm using the plastic welding method. Once I sand it down it'll have a rounded edge and it'll be buttery smooth

I'm not showing off. If you go through these threads just to bash on people, its not appreciated. If you actually read it. I wrote "WORK IN PROGRESS" and im pretty sure once i finish dremeling it and sanding it with rounded edges it'll look decent enough.
I just finished sanding. Can anybody give me any suggestions on how to make the corners cleaner? Is silicone a good option? I can't sand it down anymore or I would go through the plastic since I used a thin one to use NFC

Only option to make it look nicer that comes to mind is using a red vinyl decal. Ill try it if all else fails...
Sorry, but I don't get why you're doing this.
As per my previous post, are you away from mains power for more than 12 hours at a time?
Hey dude, get some automotive body filler. Should clean it up nicely. Model car putty should work too but i think the automotive filler will hold up better to getting hit. . Tape off the area you dont want to get the stuff on, Lay it on, than sand it, than id suggest spray painting the stuff to protect it, than it will look good.
Do a search on model car putty to get an idea of what it does.

Thanks, hopefully this works out because i was thinking about silicone and this looks like a better option.
spraying it with white truck bed liner would probably be decent too, figure it would add some durability to it
This us what you need the seidio back for a extended battery.
