I believe they are genuine because NFC functionality works.
Other shops do not have them because they are not sold separately in Korea (or anywhere in the world), they come in the box of the Galaxy Nexus in Korea. (http://www.gsmarena.com/korean_galaxy_nexus_to_have_an_extended_2000mah_battery-news-3449.php)
I believe the seller is taking them out of the box and reselling, thus why he states no retail packaging. (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Sam...Accessories&hash=item1c222d09fc#ht_4850wt_905)
This is the packaging it comes in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20976912&postcount=213

I see no proof there.
Have you asked Samsung? You might believe them
I have brought some dirt cheap batteries (not NFC) and they defo aren't official and i believe.... in decent third party batteries/dock/cases etc
In the same way I wont be spending the ridiculous prices for an official car dock

I'm not paranoid, I'm simply not ignorant.
Batteries are dangerous if build with cheap materials without rigid check during the manufacturing process.
Batteries can explode, can leak acid and can burn. Is this paranoia?

Yes it is paranoia if the paranoid thoughts or ideas are unfounded,The seller on eBay has legitimate OEM battery's,people have posted pictures & reported they are in fact real yet you continue to bog up the forums & threads with this nonsense.Nobody cares if you don't want to buy one,nobody cares if you do.What we all do care about is information in these threads & on xda as a whole stays as clean and on topic as possible,we all come here for REAL information and stuff like this(That you have posted in multiple threads)just makes it more difficult to navigate & find what were looking for.My suggestion would be to read the entire thread I posted for you on page 1,instead of creating new threads with things that have already been or are being discussed.

There is no proof that that battery is genuine so it is highly unprobable that an ebayer could have an item before clove, amazon, expansys and other bigs.
As always happened in the mobile world most of the batteries sold on ebay before.official release are only facked batteries sometimes sold as genuine like in this case
Verizon was selling official replacements for $20 last week. I posted that in the ... other battery thread. Not sure if the sale is still on.
I believe they had them on Samsung.com.

You said you're not ignorant, but you said in the other thread that THESE WERE REAL.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-x-1750mAh...149237?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a6ddaa6b5
Samsung has not distributed the extended batteries outside of South Korea. The eBay seller is FROM SOUTH KOREA. He is probably getting the batteries from people that don't need them and selling them on eBay. Stop being so dense.
Also again.. it's spelled "faked"
If you don't think they're real then just don't buy them.
Move on.
You can wait till whatever sites you expect to be 'real' and just buy it from them. No body cares if you wanna buy it now. Stop making it such a big deal.
Also, how will you prove that all the websites you pointed out are gunna be 'real'
I was searching for a stock spare battery and came across these... they have the same model number and the seller says its an OEM product.
are they legit?

I've seen lots on ebay that are excellent counterfeits, some of which work as well as the genuine part. For example, I once bought a phone battery that looked exactly the same as the original, except for the quality of the hologram and two small typos, and it held a charge better than the original battery that came with the phone.
So it may well be worthwhile even if it's not genuine.
Hopefully they have nfc support....
A wise man once told me, "You don't always get what you pay for, but you never get what you don't pay for!" $8 for a genuine Samsung battery - when they retail at $30 for a device that is still very popular, I would think twice. Spend the extra $20 for a legit battery.
Just my 2 cents.
Well I can always return it

Hi all,
I need to buy a charger for my SGS3. I need either a genuine Samsung one, or a safe and compatible micro-usb charger with an extended cable. I don't want to get one on ebay because I don't trust the listings, and Amazon's listings have negative reviews where users talking about their chargers have exploded and flown across the room.
I'm UK based so I don't want to order from other countries due to shipping times/costs.
Helpful inputs will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Any charger is compatible heck i even use the apple ipad plug and a OEM Htc cable and it works fine
the phone itself regulates all the charging not the charger itself..
but make sure you buy a Hi quality micro USB cable or else you could short your phone
Thanks for the reply, but where should I buy the product from?

Amazon is one of the best places and by sorting them by highest rated and with the most reviews makes it easy. Or if you want to keep it easy, buy the Galaxy S4 charger (2.1 A instead of 1.0 A!) off Samsung.com and if you register your device, they give you a 50% of promo code for mobile accessories which makes it about $20.

Another good option is to check hotels in your area. People leave behind their phone chargers ALL THE TIME: they're not worth driving back for, and often people won't even bother to have them mailed to them. As a result, pretty much every hotel desk has a box of chargers that they hold on to for people who forgot to bring theirs. If you ask nicely, they might let you pick through it and take one. These are often the brandname chargers that came with the phones.
I noticed that the ones with a lot of reviews seem to be the most untrustworthy, I saw a listing with one that had 60 5 star reviews, but it also had 50 1 star reviews that talked about how the charger has literally blown up and flown across the room or stopped working on its second charge. As for local hotels... There aren't any near where I live

Can't you just go to some big retail surface around your area and get one from there? Any charger with a microusb will work. The only thing i'd look out for is the 1A charging current (like the original) so the phone finishes charging in in about 2h. Just avoid the real obvious crap ones from shady brands and you should be fine. You can just trade it in if it doesn't work properly. I got a bundle from energizer for a bit less than 20€ (around £17). Had a wallsocket charger with 2 usb sockets (1A), a car charger one (with 1A and 2 usbs too), a rather long cord and several ends to plug just about every device i could think of. Obviously microusb included.
What about the same as the one provided in the original box? It should be safe I think.

How well is it working for the Nexus 5?
I've been using one of these Nokia dt900s for a year or so now. First on a Nokia 822 then a droid dna and now the nexus 5. I have had no problems what so ever, seems to work better on the nexus than the others because it still charges even when the phone is crooked. Also anyone know if all att stores are having a sale on it? Good Christmas presents.

I picked up two of these chargers on clearance at a local AT&T store in Austin, TX. Seems it's not a sale so much as they're trying to get rid of them. I got the last two in my local area. Check stock online and see if you can find any anywhere. I had read some reports about the phone getting really warm on this charger. I charged it last night using one and it worked great. The phone didn't have a hint of heat this morning. I'm very pleased.

I bought 6 of these a while back and it's one of the best purchases I've made for my phone. That micro USB is pretty much universal already so it is kind of future proof. I usually get a few chargers at once because they break but I'm still on my same one since December.

Yes
I was going to buy this charger, but i ended up buying the Nexus Wireless Charger because, afaik, it comes with exactly the same micro-usb Nexus charger + cable....
Is like 15€ for the microUSB charger and 25€ more for the wireless charging square......
I know that 15€ for this charger is a lot of money if you compare it with other chargers......but compared to Apple's officials accessories (charger in this case) imo is cheap and it's also standard (micro usb).
However...I admit, it's more fanaticism (to Nexus brand) than anything else.
Thanks for the heads up, just bought a spare as well as a wireless charger - it's about time!
Interesting. If anyone has any feedback, I'm eager to listen to what you have to say.
