I found this extended battery case on eBay for £15.99 with free UK delivery.
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=180939675217
It fits my SGS3 perfectly, very secure clip at the top and the micro USB connector at the bottom keep it in place very nicely.
It does effectively double the weight of the phone, but for added battery capacity I'm willing to put up with the extra weight.
It has all the required cut outs for camera, light, speaker, headphone jack, and the microphone.
The volume rocker and power button are exposed, and the case does get in the way a little, but not much, will probably prevent accidental button hits in my pocket.
It has an integrated stand which seems sturdy and clips snugly and securely into the back of the case. It does a good job of keeping the phone at a comfortable viewing angle and seems quite strong.
As for the battery part of this case, there are 4 blue status lights that show remaining capacity and an on/off button along the bottom. I have yet to properly test capacity, it came with about 50% charge, and I charged it up to full in about 2 hours from that, and charged the phone at the same time from 56% to full. I'll update this post when I see how well it charges the phone from around 1%.
I'll post some pictures of the phone in the case later, any questions are welcome.
Update: OK, so the battery case managed to get my SGS3 up to 84% from 4%, so an 80% charge without needing to reach for a charging cable is pretty good for a Chinese eBay battery, can't complain for the price!

1. form:
what are the end result dimensions? I have the hyperion 4200MAH battery and cas, and was wondering mow much larger yours is than mine.
for reference mine is: 140mm long x 73mm wide x 18mm deep. (with the hyperion honeycomb case)
2. function:
what kind of change did you get in battery life? for reference, i more than doubled.. perhaps closer to 2.5 times my battery life.

1. Dimensions are 148 x 73 x 14
2. This is an external battery pack, not a battery replacement, and as stated in original post, I have not fully tested the charging capabilities yet, will be reporting on those later. From the capacity of the battery I would guess that it charges the battery 1 1/2 times, but that's only a guess, this is an eBay Chinese battery after all.

Just got my SGS3 down to 4%, turned on the battery pack, let's see how long this takes to charge!
Battery Widget Reborn says it should take 4hr14m to recharge!

i have the exact same battery case, not sure if i have a defective one, it only charges my S3 up to 48% so its kinda disapointing only around 1400+Mah from the advertise 3200Mah
i tested it with a fully drained S3 (waited till the phone turned off by itself) and fully charge the case and installed the phone turned off
anyone else tested its capacity?
might just change the internal battery later on

Well mine is charging at the moment from 4%, currently at 16% and still going strong, I'll report back with results when either the phone reaches 100% or the battery case dies trying.
Edit: could be some time though, the battery case output is only 500mah!

Hello everyone.
I've been searching the internet without finding a definitive answer to my issue.
I have a i9100P from orange uk, which means a bit thicker battery, different cover, and NFC.
Now let me get this strait away.. I do not care about NFC.
What I have gathered around the net and xda.. (true or not I do not know):
1. Normal 2000 mAH samsung battery cover does not fit. Cutting the case seems a solution.
2. There is a reboot/bootloop issue when you plug in the charger when fitting a normal 2000 mAH battery on a 1900P NFC enabled phone.
3. Korean 2000 mAH NFC EB-K1A2EBSG battery works (cover does not fit at all)
4. EU 2000 mAH not NFC EB-K1A2EBEGSTD (cover fits with modification)
5. I do not like non samsung battery replacements
I only wish to purchase a higher capacity battery than the standard one I have.
any successful stories?
anyone with a i9100P and using 2000 mAH battery?
Also very interested to find out which genuine extended battery will fit this device having just picked one up. Was going to get the regular extended batt for amazon but will hold fire...
or anyone currently with any type of extended battery on i1900P NFC ?
or Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 Extended Battery Power Pack Case (does it fit?, normal slim cases do not properly fit on the i9100P).
Although this one seems a pain because in constantly charges the phone, which in turn wakes up all the time to tell you that it is fully charged, and in this way it depletes the battery.. and on and on....
Also done a bit of research on this with no luck.
Will the EU EB-K1A2EBEGSTD battery cause the boot loop?? Do you have a link to what sort of mods are required to the case?

I read it somewhere about the bootloop.. cannot seem to find the link anymore.
The case does not fit properly (about less than 1 mm so not a perfect fit).. some have resorted to cutting parts of it with a knife and some others skipping the case and using a tpu cover.. based on this, am I to assume that even on third party kits (battery&case) the case does not fit properly?

I do have Samsung Official Extended Battery (from Amazon).
And pretty happy with it! You don't even notice that you have it, as the cover fits perfectly on the phone. I also have the official case and cannot be happier with both!

do you have i1900P with NFC or a regular i9100?
I1900P battery
Does anyone know where to get hold of a replacement battery for the 1900P? I am experiencing random shutdowns and have tried the paper trick to wedge the battery in the case. As this replacement phone doesn't have the yellow screen problem I want to keep it rather than return it. I bought mine 3 weeks ago from Orange online and this is the 4th replacement in these weeks to get a screen without the yellow tint.
I tried googling, but to no avail. Does anyone know of an Extended Battery Kit for the Active?
I've yet to see one because I doubt anyone (meaning a company) will be able to create one that retains the water-resistant capability of the GS4A. Your best bet may be the Mugen 2750 mAh battery for the GS4 which appears to be the highest capacity that still retains the stock battery size. That's pretty much the best and only option for any "extended" battery runtime.
Oh, and if you see anything on eBay or wherever that claims higher than the Mugen at 2750 mAh run from 'em 'cause they're BS as always.
Extended battery
Its not even available on Amazon....waiting for Anker to launch one...
A little pricey, and not sure of the actual specs, but here is one I found on Ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-3700mAh..._Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item338648e7ab
I just did a quick glance. You can look around more if you please.
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trk...ery&_nkw=S4+active+battery&_sacat=0&_from=R40
I wouldn't trust that any further than I could throw it.
If Mugen can't get 3700mAh into a standard size GS4/GS4A battery, ain't nobody else going to be able to do it either, that's my position. Mugen makes a 2750mAh as I noted above and that's pretty much the best we're going to get for the GS4A. That so-called 3700mAh model, nah, I don't believe that capacity for a single moment.
If someone wants to take a chance on it, however, more power to you (pun very much intended).
For us GS4A owners, the Anker or Hyperion dual battery (meaning you get 2 of 'em) and charger setup is probably going to be the best for 'extended' battery life most likely. I'm still considering that myself but I've got 3 batteries already (one Samsung official that's a few weeks old and 2 cheap Chinese counterfeit ones without NFC capability).

Zero Lemon 3000 for I9295
I tried Zero Lemon 3000 for I9295 (Galaxy Active), but it too sick for this model.
Even when i removed paper from battery it looks like no 100% feet.
You won't retain your water resistance, but I've used the ZeroLemon 7500mah in my S4 Active and wrapped electrical tape around it to keep it in place.
Not the prettiest looking, but the battery life is out of this world.
I bought the S4 Active for the LCD screen anyways, not for the water protection.
New from Mugen - 5500mAh

OK guys its time to know the truth when it comes to battery replacements, whether its a true genuine OEM LG battery or a FAKE genuine OEM lg battery.
recently i have purchased at least 2 replacement batteries for my 1 and half year old battery which holds still good charge but not as good in the days.
Although i live in Australia, this discussion still applies to all other countries around the world.
so i purchased my first battery, cost aud $18, apparently it was 100% genuine oem battery, bought it, however when it arrived the packaging seemed like a replica of the original with different font. so ull see the difference between the batteries below. as u can tell the metal connector, is different and is made out of a lower quality metal on the fake battery, the original battery has RU symbol and all of the BL-T9 ARE MADE BY SONY, YES I REPEAT SONY, THIS FAKE BATTERY HAS NOTHING BUT SCRATCHES ON ITS BACK,....fine i didn't mind, so i tested by charging, which was fine, took it of the charger and it discharged on its first charge from 100% to 80% in under 5 min, (and please don't say ITS MY USAGE, MATE 5 YEARS OF ANDROID EXPERIENCE AND BATTERY LIFE SETTINGS, ETC, MY ORIGINAL BATTERY WILL DISCHARGE FROM 100% TO 80% WITH MODERATE USAGE IN 1H, SO EVERY TIME IM ON 80% I ALWAYS GET 1H SOT, (NO-----LOLLIPOP---FOREVER---ON---NEXUS5---)
RUNNING CM11 M11, PA PICO GAPPS 4.4.4, SUPERSU 2.46, SYNC ON, LOCATION OFF, HALF BRIGHTNESS, SET LOCATION OFF ON EACH PRIVACY/PERMISSION APP SETTINGS, ON MY CURRENT ORIGINAL BATTERY ALWAYS GET 5 H SOT, NO DOUBT, HOWEVER WHEN I HAD THIS PHONE NEW, ALWAYS GET 6H SOT, VERY HAPPY WITH MY CURRENT SETUP, LOLLIPOP ON ALL ROMS, IF UR LUCKY ON MODERATE USAGE, MAX 3H SOT, SO BAD,,,,,
ANYWAY BACK TO DISCUSSION, so look at the differences below in the picture section, ive got urls to purchase the genuine original 100000% true battery with ru symbol and Sony symbol.
recently i purchased and looked very hard for batteries with this type of features and things which are seen on the original battery. found it, received it, same looks and features, original true genuine 10000% battery, very happy, u guys want links, i just need to test it and let u guys know.

Secondly, u have too cycle the battery, don't expect excellent battery on first charge, at least 6 full discharge cycles are needed to gain, refer to me, I'm an electronic engineer.

This I my biggest complaint about the nexus, and about non-removable batteries. I don't care to have to take my phone apart to replace the battery, BUT if its "non-removable", I means the manufacture of the phone doesn't sell the battery directly to the public and finding a real one is a pain in the rear. I have bought and sent back 2 batteries because they were physically SMALLER, weighed less(on a gram scale) and lasted between 2 and 4 hours full to empty in standby mode. I bought one off amazon, the highest rated on I could find. The second a bought from ebay from the seller with the best rating I could find a at the time. I just ordered one from etrade supply and it will be here today, I will post my findings.
So, I don't care at all if a battery is "non-removable", I just wish LG/google or whoever would make the battery available to the public, so we could have a trusted source.
My fiancé needed a new battery for her galaxy s4, we just went onto Samsung's website and ordered one, directly from the manufacture and it is an EXCELLENT battery, just like having a brand new phone. That is a real reason to like a removable battery.
The battery I received from etrade supply was 100% a fake. Its physically smaller (about 1mm narrower), about 2 grams lighter, and all the print on the label is very fuzzy. I ask for a refund, we will see how it goes. I just wish there was a simple solution to finding a genuine battery!
This is the link I used to order it.
http://www.etradesupply.com/lg-nexus-5-battery.html
I laid my worn out OEM battery and the etrade supply battery and their side and staggered them so you can see the date codes. The 2013 battery is the OEM nexus 5 battery out of my nexus. The 2015 battery is the etrade supply battery. Both are flat on their sides against the table and you can see the etrade battery isn't as wide.
