Hey guys, do you know any good battery case that is fair in price? Because I don't wanna spend 100 dollars on a mophie juice pack, as I can get an 7000mAh battery from zerolemon for at least half of it, AND I don't consider the zerolemon in first option because of the big additional bulk.
So, can you help me guys?

Well, a battery case would make as much bulk as the ZeroLemon (If not more) and would be less protection than if you bought the ZeroLemon and the Rugged case that they have made, it is honestly not much bigger than an S3 with an OtterBox. They also provide pretty good protection for the phone and battery.

My preference for the battery case is the possibility to put it only when I need and without having to turn the phone off, just carry it on my bag and only have the extra bulk when my battery is low

If you are talking about like an external battery with a charger attached then that is a battery pack, not a case. Make sure you know which one you're talking about when you post stuff about this so people don't get confused.

I know what is a battery case, it seems like you didn't understand my post. The battery case you can put when you want, like every other case.

Why would you carry around a case and not have it on all the time? You could just buy an external battery pack and have more battery power.

Because it's easier to me this way, so I won't have the bulk all the time. And I'm always with my backpack, because I need to carry other things, so the battery case would be only one more thing on my backpack

It would last roughly 464 hours in stand by mode.
Has anyone else tried this Case so far?
What about weight?
Do you notice the extra Weight and size or is it OK?
I like this one:

This is terribly inefficient. You're effectively charging 1 battery with another battery. I could see using one if you had no other option, but the gs3 has a removable battery.
If you have all that extra room in your bag, why not just keep the Zero Lemon in it instead? The added bulk doesn't look to be that different.

i don't think battery case will be your solution, i suggest you buy a original battery+external charger to your backup..
it'll be more cheap and efficient.
I am not a big fan of those, they make your phone unergonomic.
hiii..
i am new to this forum
There are many competitors such as qcell4200mah, 5star america which is slightly smaller when compared to the Zerolemon 7000mAh battery & cover. Personally i use zerolemon it does add a very noticable girth to the phone but i work and travel for long periods of time away from my desk so it is the most suitable method of increasing batterylife for me. If you're crazy about going long periods without charging your phone i advise Zerolemon. If not just get a couple spare standard batteries.

Today I received my 1800mAh Lithium-Polyner battery for my XDA Exec. The manufacturer claims 11% more load than a standard battery, while still fitting in the standard battery slot, without the need for a thicker cover.
It is cheap as hell (20 euros) and can be found here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....from=R8&satitle=220016822659&category0=&fvi=1
It's currently charging so tomorrow at the end of the day I should be able to tell how it compares.
So Wiz, how is the battery holding up?
I've used replacement batteries in the past and they all seem to have problems reporting the correct charge. Is this one the same?
Good luck,
Pug.
say clear of seller mr buybits on ebay his 3200 battery always say 100% and you wont get the black battery cover thats advertise , insted you get a silver cheap looking one
i bought a 3800mAh battery with black case from expansys. it works flawlessly. the extra thickness is worth the extended battery life. i don't have to pay attention to the battery at all now (as long as i charge it every night of course)

Hi.. How thick is the additional bat? Do you think it will still fit the piel frama book type leather case? Im thinking of buying the same from expanys. Good thing I bumped into your post
Thanks!
Thick
It's thick, you will not be able to use your Piel Frama case.
yup it's about an extra 9mm, but my belt case fits it nicely (an old iPAQ 'extended battery' case). the belt case i originally had for it was too tight with the stock battery anyway.

I don't use any case whenever I'm using the extended battery. Don't try to squeeze it in, i tried it before on my Piel Frama case, u will just end up breaking that wonderful case of yours.

Ok then. I'll take that you broke your wonderful case??? It's just that I so wanted to still use it despite the bulky battery. Thanks for the advice. I'm gonna order from expansys soon. I'm just checking other sites in case there's a better place to order the extended bat. I'd love to have the lion battery but it's too expensive so I'm settling for the 3800 mAh one.
P.S. I found this "pencil case" that would probably perfectly fit my dopod with the extended bat... BUT (yes, a big but), it's a Barbie pencil case. Sure, im a girl and i'd probably pull it off but still, isn't it a big insult for our fabulous phone? haha..

Hehehe, that's cute! I think the 3800 mah battery is also lithium ion. I understand your praise about the universal. I mean it's a great device, especially the VGA screen (that stands out from the rest of the PPC phone). I bought my extended battery from ebay.
1800mAh battery
The thread has gone somewhat off-topic here. I have used the 1800mah battery for a week or 2 now, and it does deliver the additional 12%
It may not be as much as the 3800 battery, but for day to day usage that battery is too thick and heavy anyway. I prefer to keep that one for long business trips or holidays.
The 1800 battery just gives that little extra while allowing the Exec in it's regular case (for me Covertec)
Where did you buy your battery from?the site that i saw that had it they were currently out of stock.I have ordered the other battery but it is huge makes it feel like a gun is in my pocket.The jj is already a monster and to add the extra weight is a ilttle too much.

Its not in english so i dont know wth it says.Im in the US and am skeptical about what im reading.
As the seller has a 99.5% positive feedback from 48378 ebayers, i would assume it is as safe as you are going to get! If in doubt, give him a shout - Send a message, i am sure you will get a response fairly quickly?
It does state worldwide shipping and to contact the seller for details.
sent a message with no response.I would like to know the total in us dollars though.the way i figure it ,it comes to almost 60 bucks and pdaden has them for 46 shipped and 52 for a 2-3 day shipping.i will wait another day to see if he can let me know how much it will cost me.
I got free shipping to the netherlands for that price. Until now it performs admirably. I'll try to run some SPB battery rundown tests this weekend both with the original shipping battery and this 1800mAh li-polymer battery.
PS I didnt notice the 1750 Pdaden batteries until the last post by southernint3l, but from where I am at, the free shipping to the Netherlands beats the $10-$20 shipping I would have to pay from the US hands down.
I always used this website for batteries and always they were great
this one is estimated to ship on Feb 21 just 2 days before my bday i might treat myself!
Code:
http://www.mugenbattery.com/mugen-power-extended-2000mah-battery-for-verizon-samsung-galaxy-nexus/
it says it's 2000mah how much more battery usage i can expect?
before i flashed franco kernel (which was about hour ago)
my battery would hold around 12 hours on 4.0.4 i always listen to music text and do some web browsing. Thanks guys
You get ~14% more capacity compared to the 1750 mAh battery. So don't expect too much.
Why wouldn't you get the OEM Extended battery? It's half the price and holds more charge. If you're worried about the case the difference is barely even noticeable, most cases fit with the extended battery.
I get about an hour more on average compared to stock battery, which makes a huge difference for me. It's also good having an extra battery anyway.
If you've got a Verizon version, just buy the extended battery straight from Verizon its 2100mAh and comes with a proper back cover for less $$.

The OEM extended barely makes it thicker, it keeps NFC, and it is cheaper with more capacity.
You're going to put a case on it anyways, so why do you care about thickness? lol.
if that mugen battery is not larger than stock one i can assure you that you are not getting more capacity. mugen batteries are decent as far as aftermarket ones goes but they over advertise their capacity and charge more than oem but dont take my word for it. check out this website that tested some mugen batteries actual capacity. mugens 1800mah is actually 1400 and thier 3600 extended is 2500. http://batteryboss.org/
Very useful product for those who doesnt what the added girth of other extended batteries&cases. This battery adds up to 9hrs of additional talk time to your s3. This product is extremely thin measuring at 7.9mm and comfortably fits into the majority of jeans pockets.
If you dont mind carrying a spare battery about the size of a smartphone in your pocket then this product is for you.
User opinions are welcome also product comparisons.

Thanks for this, I've never heard of one of these... From your pics, it charges the smart device?
7.9mm!! I don't know if it could get that thin.
Great case, I always tend to purchase a battery case when me and my family go on vacation. This case is a good solid case that adds a bit grip making the phone not slippery when holding it in your hand. As for features the case is some sort of plastic, your phone drops in charging side first and then the you just press in the rest snapping the phone into the case. To remove I find the easiest to push towards me where the fingerprint reader is. Now while the phone is in the case I have noticed the phone will not "fast charge" with a OEM Samsung charger. Also odviously no nfc or wireless charging while using the case. It is a bulky heavy case but with the quality ZeroLemon puts out and all the extra juice I think it is worth it. Now if ZeroLemon would just make a belt clip I would be able use this daily.
Just a small review I'll try to get some pictures up.
There's a thread created five days ago for this exact model. Perhaps contribute the pictures there?

Can the battery case do reverse charging ?

Have you guys run into any extended batteries that still give access to NFC for this phone? Searched on Amazon, and there are just 3 sellers selling the battery case chargers, NEWDERY, ALCLAP, ZEROLEMON, and none of them support Android Pay.
Compared these three and ZEROLEMON is with higher capacity, but the battery case seems not that easy to install. You have to remove the original battery and replace it with the ZEROLEMON battery, and then put the case on to charge. NEWDERY and ALCLAP sells the same product (looks exactly the same), and the battery is inside the case, which would make the Android Pay easier, and I actually like that. ALCLAP is cheaper, seems to be a good choice, but it has no reviews. Hard decision to make. Any ideas?

I think you're mistaken. None of the battery cases require you to remove the original battery. That's because the battery is not removable in the LG G6.
I have both the Zerolemon and Newdery extended battery cases, and although the Zerolemon has a bigger battery, I like the smaller and lighter form factor of the Newdery. I get about 105% extra charge on the Newdery and about 175-195% extra charge with the Zerolemon
And both are very easy to put onand remove.
