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.

Really? Even if I squeeeeze it in? haha.. I was hoping that I can still use my case... I love this case!
Ok, I will let you guys know if I was successful in trying to squeeze it in. i will also let you know if I managed to tear / break the case, haha. Thanks!

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.
Hi,

Yes it does add bulk to it. I was using a 4500mAh from mugen previously. Sent it back for an exchange for the 5400mAh one.
Well the thickness is twice the thickness of the original note. Given my battery can only last at most 8 hrs for stock. using this mugen one can last me 18 - 24 hs, sometimes 13-15. depending on how agreessive is the usage.
Tons of review out there. I believe the new 5400mAh will last longer than that.
Btw, the case they gave give a better grip of the phone and with a kickstand. how awesome is that. =)

Haha, thats true, I do feel the pinch when I buy it (and sometimes wondering if there's any real differences other than the branding).
But its kind of mitigated by their good aftersale response and free of charge exchange of my 4500mAh batt with the new 5400mAh batt.

I've sent a mail to mugen and they told me to send back the 4500mAh battery and they will send me the new 5400mAh for free. Sent it back today, update in 2 weeks (you have to send it to HongKong)
Had a few of these when I had my iphones and always wanted them to start making android units. I sell my GS3 yesterday to get the Note 2 and the next day Mophie releases their first Android case for the GS3. Not that I regret my hardware upgrade, but my decision would've been harder if this was out.

I've had similar devices for the Vibrant and SGSII phones. They're alot like having a second battery without the hassle of changing it out. In the past I've applauded this idea but the more I've thought about it the more it makes more sense to me to purchase an extra battery with external charger (or not) for a fraction of the price.
The convenience of getting about 170% the battery life just doesn't offset the cost of the device. And you'll never get quite the life out of this and the internal battery as you would if you had a separate battery.

My Own Review
I purchased this when it came out. I think this is probably one of the best cases around.
CASE
As far as the casing itself goes it's extremely solid. What I love now is how it feels more....REAL than before. Anyone that has this phone knows that it feels like you are holding a very light phone, but feels like it will bust if you bump into a wall. The case gives it a solid feel. Has the weight and gives you somewhat of a better grip on the phone. It does not wiggle while it is in the case, but the top cap doesn't align absolutely perfect. Anyone that has OCD might find this somewhat annoying, but it's still only off by like half a millimeter.
BATTERY
The most important feature of this case is of course the battery. One nice feature is the case being able to be charged AND being able to charge the phone at the same time. Some people might think that the case's battery is feeding the phone, but I've charged it a couple of times now and 1 will always beat the other in charging time (the phone will charge first before the case if the case is almost empty and vice versa). The battery life of the case I would say give its about 50-60 percent more charge time in my opinion. It's cool, but of course if I would of preferred if it would of doubled the battery life instead. The lower section of the case does get somewhat warm when you flip the switch to charge the phone and it does it surprisingly quick. I can't say I've had a real moment where my S3 NEEDED the case's battery so far, but having witnessed how much it could charge in one flip of a switch is honestly a nice surprise should I ever NEED that extra boost.
LOOK
The case is sleek. I purchased the white model and it feels like it was an OEM product. The only hard part is when you have a sleek shiny case you dont want to scratch it ESPECIALLY when a battery is part of the case.
Great feedback... what I really want to know; is how much protection does the “case" actually give the phone. From the looks of our, is a gray battery pack, and mophie brand is top of the line when it comes to that stuff... but case wise... does it really protect? Or is it just a battery pack?

Honestly I would say the case is not built for protection. Does it give more protection than having no case? Yes of course. The thing is that it is a very rigid solid design. No features of it are for impact absorption. It fits very snug into the case (as all their packs do), and would lead me to think that any impact the case takes EASILY transfers to the phone. Mophie does have their line of impact cases, but of course they are for the iPhone. It's a case that will protect better from hip height, but anything higher will easily transfer the impact to your phone.
Thanks for the review of this case. I've considered buying this case as I too had one for iPhones in the past and really liked them. I don't make a habit of dropping my phone so I'm not overly concerned about the protection but I am kinda disappointed that it doesn't give that much more battery for as much as it costs.

Not really worth it for 100 bucks!
Would be nice at like 40...
Is it worth it?
Personally I like it. I'll have to state that it extends the battery more like 70%. I know 100 is steep for a case, but when it comes to quality they really went all out. The design of it hasn't flaked, scuffed, or scratched like most cases. Again the case is not really built for impact, and in my opinion that is a good thing because that would of added some extra bulk that it just wouldn't need. I know others feel that an extra battery / extended battery / charger are just as good, but I was going for ease of use and simplicity. The model I own is a Tmobile model without the FM Radio or Quadcore (cough* F U Tmobile *cough) so I can't say I suffer a lot from a low battery. It has gotten to points where I didn't have much battery and a wifi connection was necessary, but of course it would kill the battery as low as it was. So having this case helps in those inconvenient cases without have to have a fully charged spare, removing the cover, replacing the battery, powering the device back up, and continuing from where I left off. To each their own though. I have seen other models on ebay that are much less expensive (like $20) and over the same convenience, but IMO it's worth the money since it does provide the convenience with that touch of quality.
Your collection is great, I love Android
I am kinda disappointed that it doesn't give that much more battery for as much as it costs.

That's the one thing I like about it. Extended battery and battery covers are horrible looking and don't offer any protection either way. The Mophie case feels like a case, It fits well into your hand and doesn't get in the way. Yes it will increase the overall size of the phone, but in my opinion it's a good thing. The phone itself just doesn't feel like a real phone being built with so much plastic. When you add the case yes it's still plastic, but if feels like its easier to hold.

So, I'm really considering buying one but have just one concern .... does the new case feel slippery like the original S3 shell? I bought a vinyl protector and it REALLY helped with the feel of the phone ... took it from light and "plasticy" to a more solid feel. Felt like a skinny bar of wet soap without it ... I'd really like your opinion on the tactile feel of the Mophie case.
Many thanks.

So... I bought this when it came out.. I jumped on it.. It was such a mistake - first off there are not cut-outs for the buttons (power and volume rocker) ...they have "botton extenders" built into the case.. they SUCK to say the least - every time you TOUCH as in a hair touches the volume rocker external button, the rocker activates, permanently held down until your press the opposite rocker button. Pure **** if you ask me. For the size, well its makes your S3 FUGLY and BIG, weight difference is not so much... Build quality is terrible as the case is super slippery and feels like you're holding a bar of soap.
If this was 40 dollars, I would say its worth it for long trips, but 100? HELL-NO-WAY is worth it. I would not waste your time.

Thanks jkom.... positive or negative, opinions are what I'm after.
I bought one when they got them at my local Best Buy. Unfortunately, it is not worth the price. It makes the phone quite a bit longer and a little wider. I didn't think the buttons were that bad as others have mentioned. It really only charged up the phone to about 35% and that was it. I returned it and went on Amazon and bought the Hyperion 4200 extended battery and a Hyperion TPU case to go with it and spent half the price of the Juice Pack and get a ton more usage out of the phone.

I was wondering how the charge on one battery could be "pushed" into another. Without a significant differential it just can't happen so 35% makes sense. I figured it would be more like a piggyback idea.... use one then the other when you slide the red/green switch.
Hmmm.... more to think about
Thanks astarling.
I've been using it for a few days now. I bought the black one. It has a matte finish that I think makes the phone less slippery. It feels better in the hand too with the added weight. The only real problem I have are the light indicators not working properly. I guess I'm happy with the purchase. It really is one of those things you have to try to see if you like it. Best buy has a good return policy though and the case is 10$ off there right now. I would try it if your on the fence about. I don't think it offers much protection though even if it does make the phone feel very solid.
Just got this case today and my initial thought is i love it! Ive been wanting a mophie case for awile but not enough to get an i-crap. To me the case and phone feels like you bought an otterbox case.
It is about 3/8 inch longer and about 3/16" thicker then when i had my phone in the incipio sycrilic case. I Have slightly large hands so i love the extra meat.
It does have a matte finish and is a little easier to grip.
I dont have past experience with the case so i will see how the battery charge works and report back in a couple days.
Btw... I have been using it for 10 hours and the power/volume buttons have not been overly sensitive by any means. Coming from a case with a cut out for these areas, i welcome the pertruding buttons. My fat fingers love the ease of operation.
Edit... Today it took 2hrs 10 minutes to fully charge this case. Once charged, it took 1hr 45 minutes to charge phone from 10% to 89% before the case died.
= 70% more battery in less than 2hrs!!!
Ohh yeah, this case is a keeper!!!

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.

Looks like a preorder to arrive early October.

I don't usually like bug bulky battery cases, but at that price it's i good investment to keep in my bag for those occasion where battery life might be a concern. Also the 10000mAh ZeroLemons are crazy big and bulky, as to be nearly unusable to me. This is large but manageable for occasional use. Went ahead and ordered one, as I have a trip in November where this will come in handy.
Just though other might be interested.
I already got mine from auction site for less. It looks exactly the same without the branding. It fits well and feels great in the hand, obviously with some added thickness.
Yes, don't like the bulk of these things generally. Definitely won't be using it on a day-to-day basis, but it will be helpful on those rare occasions or it's useful.
Don't get me wrong I love ZeroLemon for their reliable battery cases that have a huge capacity. But nowadays I just rock my Anker 10000mAh battery pack which doesn't add bulk to the phone and fits perfectly in my other pocket.
Just got mine and as expected it pretty big and not something I'd want to use on a day to day basis. I can't imagine how anyone can deal with the 10,000mAh battery cases', they must be MONSTROUS!
Also there isn't much of a lip on the case so no dropping it face down (as if you could control that). I wish it more of a lips to protect the screen. I'm just going to have to be careful.
You can get to the fingerprint scanner ok, it just a bit more odd than the already odd placement.

I understand, I have three different battery packs (20,100mAh, 10,400mAh and a 8,000mAh), but in certain circumstances where I know I will need the extra juice I can throw in the ZeroLemon case and then turn it on when needed. Especially when I need the extra use but will be needing to use my device for phone and pictures at an event, no cables needed and less risk of damaging the USB port while on the go. Honestly I will rarely have use for this, but when I do it will be a nice option. But I can't phantom those that use this or worse the larger version as a daily driver.
