Hello Everybody,
I recently got a slick Seidio BACY32SSG2A-BK Innocell 3200mAh Extended Life Battery for AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II from Amazon for around $53.
It works all fine but I am unable to use the protection cover (Acase(TM) Samsung Galaxy S2 S II (SGH-I777) Superleggera PRO Dual Layer Protection case) which i had been using earlier with the default battery. The best thing about this case was the outside grip I got on the phone.
I tried searching for a solution which would provide me a grip along with the extended battery at the same time and found something similar for IPHONE which is called XtremeMac Border Case for Iphone.
Have anyone come across a border case for Samsung Galaxy S II?
Sorry I wanted to put up the links but as this is my first post I am not allowed to.
Thanks.
Anyone know if this combo will work, or will a standard Nexus case will be too small? Kind of want the extra maH, but also want a nice case.
Anyone with an extended battery and a case for the GSM nexus have any weigh-in?
from the lack of responses, I'll take this as my cue to post pics of the results.
Ordered both and will followup once they arrive.
I'm pretty sure there's pictures in the SGP Hybrid/Capsule topic. Some people said the extended battery stretched the rubber part out and made it sag/loose.

I saw the posts about the capule, but not the Hybrid. I'll do some more searching.
I have the setup you described and there is a bit of sagging but it is very very minor.

Sooooo....I'm apparently either illiterate or just wasn't paying attention. I ordered the sgp ultra hybrid, rather than the Neo hybrid. Nice case, but considering the back plate is a composite and the sides are flexible (opposite of the Neo), this case won't work with the battery. Dolt. Gonna order the right one today.

I'd appreciate pics posted when the case arrives! I'm getting a Galaxy Nexus and will most likely be getting the extended battery as well since I use my phone a lot. That being said, the official cases thread doesn't seem to have any info on GSM+2000mAh battery case compatibility (just w/ Verizon), so it's back to scouring the 'net and these forums.
Considering the Diztronic TPU case since it's cheap, but I have a Neo Hybrid for my GSII right now and I'm pretty happy with it, so I'd love to have the same model for the Nexus. A bit concerned about sagging, though.
Would love to also read a 2/4-week followup to see how the silicone holds (or doesnt).

I'm a total slacker. Sorry!
Update, the Neo Hybrid/2000mah battery combo fits perfectly. Much better than the Ultra Hybrid. Also, its just a nicer case. I will say I do feel a "little" bit of slack between the TPU portion of the case and the back. I wouldn't remotely say it sags, but if you tap it, you feel it move like 0.5mm, and I'm sorry but if that's too much for some people, they're just being too picky. If anything, it feels a little more cushioned from it.
I'd recommend the combo in a heartbeat. My only complaint is that the headphone jack is a little on the small side. I connect to my car's headunit with a pretty nice Monster Cable 3.5mm Mini Jack to RCA. Had to ditch it for a radioshack replacement because the monster cable end was too big.
I'll take a couple pics with my camera later and upload. Sorry for the delay.
Hey guys,
I recently installed the 4200mAh Hyperion battery into my S3 SGH-I747, but I'm having a slight issue. The battery works great and does exactly what it's advertised to do, however I'm having a serious issue trying to locate a protective shell for the phone now. I've had several people tell me that they are out there, but they don't seem to be able to direct me to where I can find one. I have been able to locate several 'stick-on' covers for them, but that's not what I'm looking for. The extra weight the battery adds make the phone feel like if it gets dropped, it's going to get destroyed. I have searched the forums to no avail, so I was hoping that someone might be able to give me some idea or where I can find them, or if they even exist. I have seen the Hyperion covers, but they appear to be silicone, and I was looking for something more along the line of a hard shell. If they do exist, cost is not an issue when it comes to protecting this phone, so please feel free to post anything you might know of. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Seidio offers a solution.
The Seidio Surface Extended Battery Door(battery cover). You will need this in order to use the Surface Extended Case + Holster(which is fantastic).
The door is $15 but can only be ordered through their customer service line as they haven't added it to the website just yet. But you can order the case and holster combo or just the case(snap case) that is molded to their battery door.($29). Expensive but it really is the only option if you want a really good case that fits naturally into a Seidio holster(if you want) or a case in general that isn't as bulky as the Hyperion one.
For screenshots and my review you can check out my thread:

Thank you for the reply. I checked out the cases and your thread. That's a lot more along the lines of what I'm looking fir.

can you please tell me howsthe backup of this battery...
The 4200mAh battery is hands down, the best thing I've done for my phone. I stream Pandora constantly while I'm in class, with that being said, I was in an hour and a half class yesterday morning. I streamed Pandora with the screen on the entire time and only had a battery drain of 4%. Talk time is severely increased as well.
Be aware that if you do get one, you're going to be adding some serious weight and mass to the phone. With the new back cover, thickness is increased by around a half an inch. It is noticeably heavier, but feels more solid. Hope this helps!

Took your advice and bought the Seidio extended battery covet and matching Active case. It has proven to be one of the best investments I've make regarding the phone. It's EXACTLY what I was looking for. I owe you one, bro.

Hi everybody,
This is my first topic in this forum, but I have already read you lots of time and you were very helpful for me. I have a problem with my Galaxy nexus, for work I travel a lot, but I’m not able to reach evening with the phone turn on. I do not want to change the inside software with a mod application, so I decide to buy an extended battery. I live in Italy and the only one avaible for my phone is an Mtec battery. There are lots of review in the net about it, and they are quite good. With the extended battery the old TPU cover can’t fit properly, so I need a new one. I looked about a “Hyperion Samsung Galaxy Nexus Extended Battery HoneyComb TPU Case”, and it seems good , so, have someone use this cover with a standard internation extended battery (not yperion, Anker, Qcell battery)?
Regards,
Sorry for my English , It isn’ t my mother language
Works for Me

I own and like mine.
It will last about 14 hours using GPS / maps, heavy network use and some browsing during lunch. Also have the "Hyperion TPU Case" - search ebay for bundled deals. I really like still having 20% battery left when I get home and not carrying a car-charger AND a spare battery.
I purchased the Hyperion battery and absolutely love it. I also ordered two cases with it. Instead of the Hyperion case, I got the Trexcell tpu case for the galaxy nexus and 3800 mah battery; reviews were better, and I can verify that it is a good fit. I also got the Seidio extended Convert Combo, and love it.

Love the battery. Hated the case. Took a knife to it and exposed the power and volume buttons. Now it's good.

That was why the TPU case that I got (along with the Seidio) was the one from Trexcell instead of Hyperion. The Trexcell TPU case has the buttons already cut out. The Trexcell is quite nice, although I've hardly used it since trying the Seidio extended convert combo.

Sorry if I never answer before, but working is killing me....
I look about Trexcell TPU case on amazon, and from pictures, it seems it' s not a flexible cover, but a rigid cover, can you confirm this, or am I wrong? Thanks

No... The Trexcell TPU is a typical TPU case. Somewhat flexible, but stiffer than rubber or silicone. It's actually quite nice for the price.

I didn't actually purchase them together as a combo. Just bought the items at the same time on Amazon:
Battery: http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Extended-Compatible-SCH-i515-CAPABILITIES/dp/B007C8XRJY
Trexcell case: http://www.amazon.com/Trexcell-Tran...ermarket/dp/B007XWP788/ref=pd_bxgy_cps_text_z
Seidio extended Convert Combo: http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-BD4-HKR4SSGNLX-Convert-Extended-Holster/dp/B0076MI9F8
Very happy with all three items.
Hi everybody, at last I bought seido extended tpu case, and the battery is a very cheap MTEC 3800 mha.
The cover fixes properly, so thanks everybody for help!
Hi
I bought this battery couple of years back and so far it's running great. Although I have already move on to op2, I still use it as a backup. The back cover came with ZeroLemon Battery is damaged now and I am looking to buy a new one, specially in India if possible.
I couldn't find one on Amazon.in. If someone can guide me to some link or something, I'll appreciate that.
Also if any other battery tpu case will support my ZeroLemon battery, I'd like to know that too.
Thank you.
