Although it's a limited sample size, Mugen looks even worse than Seidio batteries.
*Cue Seidio battery owners to rally in defense of their purchase with no actual empirical data and tons of anecdotes.
If I was to get another battery, I might as well spend $100 on say 7 batteries from eBay/China.

7 batteries?! more like 20 plus 10 AC chargers.... I'm with you, no way I'd put this in my captivate, the added bulk plus the price is just too outrageous for me when I got 2 batteries and a charger for 10 bucks, plus 4-12' usb to microusb cables from monoprice for $8.

I don't know what kind of responses these are?? People one one battery to last a whole day, 35 batteries and chargers doesn't help. I'd pay more than $100 for a battery that lasted longer and didn't make the phone look ridiculous.

a) It does make the phone look ridiculous, why buy an 11mm thick cellphone, only to double the thickness?
b) My battery already lasts a day easy with moderate use, maybe you're doing something wrong.
Seidio or someone just needs to come out with a 1750mah battery that fit like stock batt. If they did it for the bb bold they can do it for this phone. By the way has anyone tried or thought about trying that amzer1600mah battery? Not much of a difference but I've been thinking about it...if they ask like 30 or 40 bucks not 60

Oh man that looks absolutely ridiculous. What a joke this extended battery thing is beginning to be.first with seidio's monster now this. Forget it maybe i'll just cave and get another stock batt until someone someday makes a extended one that doesn't look retarded or fits in with stock cover

Oh, the irony.
Look: more battery requires more space, which means more bulk which means a bulge and a custom back cover. No other way around it... simple physics. If you don't want a bulge in your phone, get something like a Zaggsparq to plug into for portable rechargeability.

Sent from my Samsung Captivate running Perception Build 4
I've been leaning toward the Seidio over the Mugen. Still debating whether to take the plunge. The Seidio is 200mah lower than Mugen and $30 less.
As for looks of the bigger cover...and the "bulge"...
Think of it as a codpiece for your Uber phone.

It seems obvious that someone looking for an extended battery is looking for just that. I want my cordless phone to be cordless and I don't want to have to keep swapping batteries. The Mugen is pretty ugly but it really doesn't make the phone that much thicker (17mm vs 11mm). I really just wish there were cases that fit it.
Yep, my phone is melted down. Totaly busted. Went red, then melted. Really ****ing awesome.
Got a picture?
That happened to a friend of mine... Have you got pictures?
Lol, well. Let's put it this way, my picture taking device is now debris. I'll try and take a picture with a friends camera.
I only have 2000 mAh and my phone lasts for 2 days with moderate use running on stock is it just an average?
Wow that sucks. Any idea what brand or was it a non-brand item? If you have any details maybe post them so people stay away
wow, This was an original bettery?
Man that sucks, please link to the item and some picture would be nice, so nobody else`s phone suffers the same fate
is it this battery?
Thats why you shouldn't skimp out when it comes to batteries.

I have the same battery, but I'm using it rarely, the batterylife is not better than the original, and it will not fit my phone holder in the car .
But you get a better grip on the phone with that backcover.

Cant post pictures yet, nor can post links, my friend is coming home tonight to take pictures for insurance purposes. I'll post them tonight or tomorow morning, and yes, sammyx had the very same picture the eBay battery had for image, and it is the very battery that melted my phone. 3500mah!
BTW, the acid that came out of the battery burned my floor and my cloths!
Edit: Not only my battery, but my cell phone is melted also!

the battery you have in that picture is the exact same one ive had in the past, i never experienced any issues other than after approx 75 charges the battery was down to around 75% capacity, i agree with thewizard you get a much better grip with it on. it could just have been a random faulty battery but it definitely sucks that it screwed the phone up. Ive never come across a perfect solution for upgraded batteries, i went from the above mentioned to the gold 2000 mah battery and to be honest was no better than the original but cost me £10 to find out lol
if anyone knows of any better alternatives be sure to give me a shout

Yeah the OFFICIAL 2000mah battery from Samsung
Either get(or should have gotten) the anker battery or the mugen 3600 battery. When it comes to a £500 device, then spending £10 or £70 is more than suitable.
Have a good day.
PS: Really sorry about your device..
i was so close to buying this batter just now
thanks for the heads up
and im sorry for your loss
Av been using the anker one that comes with the charger so far so good.
iv been using the 3500battery for a few weeks now in some extreme conditions and haven't had any problems.
Im feeling a bit worried now took me a while to save up for my s2.
Never buy these cheap battery's..only buy from mugen seido or anker all others are junk and have much less capacity then advertised

But one is MUCH cheaper than the other... Man, $100 on a battery is not something I'm willing to spend.
I've been using a generic ($10) 5000 mAh one last weekend, during a trip to the beach. It was enough to be sure to last all day even when using the phone a lot (maps, taking pictures, looking up adresses, reading, whatsapp...)
The one by Seidio is VERY good, it last double than the original as it is expected...
Thou shalt not defile the appearance of their note with an extended battery.
i purchased 2 of those batteries they sell as oem batteries instead of buying an extended battery. I love the shape , lightness and slimness of my sexy gnote so i couldnt bare to ruin it. So easy to carry the batteries around and replacing them is a piece of cake. You don't have to wait for the phone in plug to be fully charged as well. So u can buy a cheap charging device which is also very light and portable and leave the spare battery on charge when u are on the go with ur gnote. One of the replacement batteries do perform as great as the oem one that comes with the note itself but the other one sucks. With using problematic one i have weird random lines on my screen which i suspect is because of wrong voltage. I bought these batteries from two different sellers.
Sorry. God doesn't recommend on the battery.
Just jk. External or extra battery?

Hyperion makes batteries, I have never had good luck with them though. This is an interesting case though, sort of like the iPhone ones. Might be worth a shot. If anyone buys/has this please let me know how it works.
Unless you need it in a hurry buy one of the cheap ones off eBay.
There is a review for it on YouTube. And saw it on here a while back too. Kinda sucks.

I've heard good things about Hyperion batteries, but the build quality of their battery doors usually suck. I wouldn't spend money on this. For the price of that battery case, you can get an external portable 6000 mAH charger to charge your Nexus on the go.
Run away.
These external battery cases charge the battery with a battery and they don't even boost battery life by 40%, much less 100% like they claim.

It depends on what you carry around with you. I usually just go from home to work and back home, so i can charge either at home or at the office.But when I go on business trips I usually have my laptop bag, so I use a portable battery pack.
I've been using this one for a few weeks and it works really well, it'll charge your phone at least twice.

What phone do you have? Does it have a built-in battery (like iPhone) or a changeable battery(e.g. Samsung)?
If your phone has changeable battery, you can actually have another one if you like. It costs less than $15 from a third party.
If you own an iPhone type, an external battery charger or a battery case would be the only way. I personally prefer an external one since the battery case adds too much weight and destroy the sensational design the phone has. And as you said, they charge a lot due to an exquisite workmanship. Otterbox is the leading brand in this type of case, they provide waterproof, dustproof cases which is awesome if you are a backpacker. Their price is therefore pretty high(over $70).
Another option is to get an external battery charger, which is what I'm doing. I have an iPhone 4S and I have a RavPower 14000mAh external battery charger. I choose this brand because they have a reasonable price and a few of my friends has introduced it to me.
There're some other high-end brands in this like Mophie, Mipow, they sell $15 more than the one I have. So if you prefer a luxury one, you may consider theirs.
I think you can get all of those batteries from amazon.

I purchased a replacement battery from a BatteriesPlus store. Great life out of it, comes with 1-yr warranty (bring it back to to the store with any trouble for replacement).
Also, Groupon runs all kinds of deals on accessories. My wife just picked up a Mophie S3 battery case for me for $40!!! In conparrison, BestBuy has them for $99.
