White HTC Evo 4g Extended Battery Covers For Sale $15 plus Shipping

Hey guys, took a quick hopefully effective video with my mother's Samsung Moment, anyway video should do the job. Figured I'd do a similar thing Joey did with his custom colors (BTW they're awesome!). Thanks!

Just informed below these are the cases sprint uses...

Sorry to break it to you, but those are the ones that Sprint sells with their 2600 mAh extended battery. It's $55 and comes with a black and a white extended battery door. I have the white one on my Evo right now.
Here are some pics (not mine):

Thanked your post and added it to the op

i dont understand what happened?
the $55 price is for the sprint battery plus two covers no?
from the thread title I thought the op was selling or linking to someone selling just the battery covers?
i'm interested in one for myself. right now I try to avoid using the extended battery just so i can use the sexy white look, since I bought the white backing and battery cover (for oem battery though) from ebay.
question to OP: are you selling or know who's selling these? do they match the OEM white backing like the OEM white battery cover?

Galaxy S II Metal Battery Cover (Black)

Just thought I would post here..
Just purchased a Black Metal Battery Cover for my phone..
Always wanted to buy one, cause I thought it would add more of a "premium" feel, (add some weight to the device) and just think the Stock one is to flimsy..
Just ordered it online from ebay.. Will post my findings when I receive it..
If anyone has already ordered and received this, please feel free to post in the thread.. I am interested to know how the phone feels and looks after..
Thanks!
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/330636168580?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Looks good!!!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

Please do, these look great!

I am thinking about ordering one of these too. On the page as we speak lol
New ebay listing here:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Metal-Bac...ain_0&var=&hash=item721838e116#ht_1640wt_1396
So if anyone already has one can you tell us how it is? Is the cover actually metal or is it just finished plastic? This is affect whether I buy it or not...

looks good. but if its metal, clipping it on might damage the device.
plus the cover is only for the original battery, those with 2000 mah battery will not be able to fit it.

I ordered one last too, the blue one cause I thought it looked quite smart.
I'll post pictures once I get it, which should be within a couple of weeks hopefully!

Looks good. <3
They will be the most beautiful effect on my S2

Will definitely post my experience once I receive it. I heard it makes the device a bit thicker. I saw a short review on YouTube.
If this is the case, I am totally fine with it since I have the extended 2000mah battery coming in any day now.

Anyone of you received your new cover yet? Interested to see how it looks and the quality of the cover....

I ordered mine from here http://www.trait-tech.com/product/T-SAMI9100-9012J__all-aluminium-back-cover-back-housing-for-samsung-i9100-galaxy-s2-black.html
I ordered on Nov. 19 and it took 10 days to arrive to Vancouver from Singapore. Could've use Hong Kong Post (14-20 days) but SingPost can deliever within 7-20 days.
The aluminum metal back creates a premium look and feel. Also add some weight and slight thickness to the phone that make it more sturdy in the hand compared to the original plastic back. There's chrome around the camera and also around the edge of the whole metal back. It's pretty good eye candy.

Just to make it clear sammy original 2000 mah bat and this cover will not fit...

I ordered the black one last night. Looks very sleek. I'm looking forward to it.

Looks really classy, too bad I have the extended battery. CNN [dot] cn also sells this cover for $13 BTW.

I'm using an unlocked Samsung Galaxy SII running Gingerbeard 2.3.4 (brought from expansys.ca, the unit is from the UK) and I am only using the stock 1650 mAh battery.

i have buy one from http://www.leboncoin.fr/telephonie/263002771.htm?ca=12_s
it's perfect like the original one

But do you think it will be safer?
(phone might break; metal => more inflexible?)
Interested to hear you opinions

Mine came in this morning and fits perfect. Love it!
I read in another thread someone said they had issues with GPS with this back on, I have none, it locks in just as fast as with the plastic one.

looks amazing, i'll buy one of this.

Quick review of Aluminium bumper case and Aluminium back door(High definition photos)

Hi guys.
It's not SZLF. (I thought it would be szlf but its not)
Quality is perfect . Easy to press buttons (Ease of pressing with out case 100%, With case 65%)
I also ask for GUN METAL color. I got ****ty light grey color.
My front is "silver" but the back is "light grey".
.....little disappointed.
But I'm not a petty person, (even If i payed tottaly 60$).....I left a good feedback.

Door also is good quality, just slightly thicker. (1mm maybe)
Conclusion
Before you buying something from ebay...check the pictures first !!!
If the seller does not have pictures you better find another one.
DO NOT BELIEVE to words...

awesome! where did you buy the case?

wow very nice piece...

Great pics, thank you! Can you tell us by the feel, if the aluminium case feels solid in the hands and will it absorb shock if ever the phone fell on the ground? Is the phone tight inside the case or is it loose?

I ordered the exact same combo last week!!! I can't wait!!!!

Its not that he wont do it, its that he cant. I believe that the bumpers and the new battery back cover cant be used at the same time. They dont fit together. Which sucks.

REVIEW: Anker Battery 4400mah Extended Battery w/Cover

Hey fellas,
Ive been lucky enough for Anker to send me a 4400mah battery to test and review for you guys. I've used their batteries ever since the Sensation days and I actually have a 2200mah anker for a spare on the S3. They sent me a Pebble Blue back cover as they do not produce the white one yet. I have a two toned S3 hahah. I just wanted to post pics to give you guys an idea. I will be draing the battery today as it came with 57% out of the box. I will give it its first run tomorrow during my work day. Here are the pics, I will be posting 1st run results tomorrow then for the next few days after that. These batteries usually get better after a few cycles. The phone feels good in the hand, not too big. I just ordered one of those TPU extended battery cases to protect the phone while I am using the Extended Anker. Stay tune for some numbers and updates! Thanks!

Im supposed to get one too for reviewing. But you beat me to it
Sent from my SGH-T999

Forgot to add that it does not say NFC anywhere on the battery. I did go into settings and the NFC box still could be checked. I don't know if this battery has it as I do not use NFC. I'll contact Anker to make sure.

No NFC, jonathan confirmed it. Though i made some recommendations to them to have an option for it with a different price point. hopefully they hear me. Price for this one is about $19.99, i think that's pretty good with that price

UPDATE: 8-14 LATER IN THE DAY, SAME SETTINGS! I'm gonna keep WiFi off at home to see if I can kill the battery and post when it runs out.

8-15: Battery made it through the night. I did not turn WiFi at all on this first day of testing. I will do a second test on the second full charge tomorrow. So far I am impressed! 5 hours of screen time! Hawt Damn

Do you know how much thicker this makes the phone ? I am wondering what kind of case would fit this and also if it would still fit in a car holder.

Just double the size of the battery. Look at the pic I posted of the side view. I actually ordered a TPU case for extended batteries, should get here in a couple days. I'll post when I receive it.

Hello. Any updates on this bat? How it's going on so far? Regards.

I have had this battery for few days.
Medium use - online quite a lot, bluetooth always on, brightness on high auto. Same usage on my old S2 with 2100mAh would have critical warning by about 6pm on day 1.

Not quite... the Korean market S3 (SHV-E210) uses a different battery than the international / US version. Also the Korean market Samsung Flip Cover will not fit properly on the international / US version. The curvature or thickness of the units are ever so slightly different, so the back plate will not click securely into place on the international / US handset.
But if you don't include the Korean S3 model, then I believe you'd basically be correct.
It probably doesn't affect most people on this forum, but it's a significant exception to the rule that should be noted.

Replacement Galaxy S2 back cover for EXTENDED battery pack

Hello,
I am using a galaxy S2 with the Samsung official extended battery back (and the plastic cover that came with it).
I would like if to replace the cover, but I cannot find any website selling a replacement cover for this battery.
I am looking for 2000mAh version of theses things.
I am looking for something in metal, black metal, carbon fiber style, matte black or grey.
I live in France, so an european reseller would be prefered.
Thank you

First up you dont wont a metal back cover as this will block your GPS thats id you use it..
As for a replacement extended back cover there used to be a dealer on ebay Had one sent out to La Reunion some time ago.
Also there are some bummers that have a cut out to allow for extended battery..

Nyssa1104 is right, please don't go for metal back cover, you may end up blocking your GPS and eventually other connectivity issues may rise up. I was searching for the same thing today and luckily I found that it blocks your GPS transmission, thanks to the bloggers

Thank you for your answers. I will give up the metal!
I am still looking for a non metal one that is less slippery than the original one (something matte or with a carbon fiber-like coating).
So any link for this product would be appreciated!

why don't u try with carbon fibre look 3d vinyl sticker? it should be less slippery then.

Simply put, you cannot buy a custom battery cover for the extended 2000mAh battery. It's not mainstream enough to have one made for it. What you can do is what caliber2001 suggested. I have one as well, and I have done it to my S2's extended battery cover. Plus, it doesn't block your GPS signal!

Thank you very much, the matte carbon fiber sticker is a gret idea!

Don't use metal battery cover!
I have brushed metal battery door and metal draco design bumper and...No GPS signal! It was fine before I got the battery door.
So the metal battery cover is quite good at blocking your GPS.

I have already sold my SII along with the battery and case, so I can't take any more pictures of it. However, you can check out my other thread that has some pictures in it.

I received mine yesterday, the back cover is really nice and fits perfectly. The camera now rest protected and slightly indented in the cover. Probably this was the original S2 design at start, they changed for a thinner and lighter phone.
Dunno about performance yet. I use my phone a lot every day, so we'll see.

Yeah, I thought that as well. The battery cover is sturdier, and the whole phone has a uniform thickness, making the speaker/antenna area flush with the phone. Why didn't Samsung release the SII with a 2000mAh battery in the first place? My guess is that they wanted to compete with the iPhone 4's thinness at the time. If only smartphone manufacturers knew that anyone would prefer a phone with good battery life over one that feels like it's going to break easily.
