I know this is the Tab S forum, but not getting much response in the Tab A forum.
Looking for a battery for a Tab A 9.7, I don't t trust the 'GENUINE' Samsung batteries on Ebay.
Has anyone bought an Ebay battery or know of anywhere to get a decent one at a cheap price in the UK?
I just bought a $14 Ebay battery. The first one was DOA and the replacement was junk. They were counterfeits. I ended up buying one on Samsungparts, part # GH43-04211A (TAB S 8.4) and it's now like brand new. The only downside was the cost, $74.40 USD shipped. Considering the fire hazard potential its probably best to get an original battery.

I'm in the UK.
I've bought one e from ebay, apparently they are device pulls and not new.
Seller has 100% feedback, so we'll see.
I scored one for my SM-T700 a while back. So far so good.

I just came across this auction on ebay. The seller sells the battery packed in retail packaging and this really seems to be a genuine battery. Actually there is only 1 person who has purchased it - is this person on XDA here and can share his opinions about the battery?

Edit :
Here's another ebay who is selling a Genuine looking battery. Since it is in retail packaging, this seems genuine but we need confirmation from someone who is willing to buy it.

This place got it before Samsung itself?
Suspect, at best...
Don't know but if the battery comes in the retail packaging like in samsung shops, this could be the real thing. Again, we must wait for confirmation from someone who bought it.
Still no notice from amazon about when the original battery will be available...
If you guys want the OEM battery, just order from expansys. Mine just arrived for $37 USD and it is the only truly Original battery I've seen so far.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
EDIT: It's $35 now and they accept paypal for it
Edited the 1st post to include another ebay link - seems like another genuine battery.

Expansys has them but a tad pricey I think. Anywhere else you guys recommend?

Someone is selling one here on xda for 30 shipped. Good price http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1578472
I just ordered one from ebay from a seller called shimshop. 30 bucks shipped to canada. Looks like a 3 week wait. So 30 bucks appears to be the average.

I got mine from Handtec because Expansys didn't have stock yet. Was worth it to me at the time and was about the same price. If you think $30 is too much, that's what they cost for genuine OEM batteries. Beware the cheap versions on eBay....they're mostly fakes and one seller is charging about the same price.
What's the best way to detect a fake? No NFC support?
You can get anything on Amazon. Why not take a look there?
battery
Try ebay but be careful with the seller. I got a genuine OEM extended battery from ebay sell mulkin.
expansys is the cheapest i found, negri electronics is selling them for $50 bucks
I would like to buy a new battery for my SGS2 in the UK and I wonder if anyone had any experience with it. There are a lot of batteries around and I guess some of them are better than others and some are rubbish even if the sellers claim they are original Samsung ones. Any advice is welcome.
I got the genuine? Samsung extended 2000mh replacement from amazon. Was about 20 quid and totally worth the money. When I get to a pc I will pm you the link. Battery now lasts 36hours with 4hours screen time which us not bad trust me. Comes with replacment back cover which makes the back completly flat. Still fits in rubber case tho. Slightly bulged at sides but buttons and protection still there. In summary worth buying.

Search for "i9100 anker" on ebay.
Yesterday I bought 2 X1900Mah batteries + wall charger for 19$!
It was from the official dealer of Anker in the U.S.
right now it costs 50$ but every few days they make sale and sale them for very cheap price.

Hi.
I've been using a chinese one, from dx.com. It's been 6 months since i've bought it. No complains, especially because it costed me $4.
I'd recommend the anker batteries.
Galaxy SII • Stock XWLSN • Dorimanx Kernel
me too I'd recommend the anker batteries.
Hi,
Ebay and amazon are full of "original replacements", which are far from being as good as original.
Is there a shop that actually sells true, genuine samsung n7000 batteries?
Regards,

If you want to be sure try Samsung. Anker 2700 is cheaper and better from my experience.
Edit: Checked Samsung UK on line store - no battery for obsolete device.
buy from amazon, but make sure its sold and dispatched directly by amazon, then you will get a legitimate one
here you go >> http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005ZHD1ZO/ref=gno_cart_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
Looking for a shop that sells internationally and has good prices and isn't scamazon. There are tons of ebay sellers with lookalike covers. They all say genuine, oem etc. I can't tell which ones are real and which are fakes. The only one I'm fairly sure is legit is from Korea and costs a fair bundle of money. Any ideas guys? Thanks.
I bought mine from aliexpress

How do you know it's not fake?
I am sure it is but it fits and works perfectly and cost 10 dollars
Sent from my LG-D693n using Tapatalk
ok well my question was where to buy the original case. i know some of the fakes are probably as good or better but it sucks taking a chance since it takes so long to get here
It's a case not the tablet itself as long as it protects the tablet what difference does it make? But hey it's your money just giving you another option and if you want an original cover just get from your Internet provider, that way you can the maximum possible price for something that a fake does the same for 10 bucks

I got a legit one from Conrad, for €40 (which is €20 cheaper than Samsung direct).
I bought a Moko cover, it only cost $15 but has a cover. It also covers the corners so if it's dropped it's pretty well protected. In the U.S. Amazon sells it.
I have an el-cheapo Chinese cover coming probably today or tomorrow. Will post comments/pics.
Have not found an affordable source for the official book cover. I'll try to pick it up when I'm travelling for work to a place where there is a Samsung store (none in my country).
Anybody tried the Samsung bluetooth keyboard? Any good?
I have just bought a new Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 Value Edition (that's what it's called here in Switzerland, it's the upgraded version with the octa core processor) and I am looking for a case that has a strap on the back that makes the tablet easier to hold with one hand, preferably a rotatable one but a static one would do as well, does anybody already have something like that for the 8 inch S2 version that he could suggest to me or has anybody heard of a good case with such a feature? Otterbox, Griffin etc. dont seem to sell any cases with a strap on the back for the Tab S2.
Ebay or Amazon my friend....used probably....
