I want to get a Note. I have found some extended batteries...
Mugen Power 4500mAh
Hyperion 5000mAh
??? 5200mAh
I love the Mugen cover that comes with it. It is textured, the camera cut out area looks good and it comes with a kick stand. However it has the lower power of the big 3. I am wondering if that cover can fit with one of the other 2 batteries. And does anyone have any opinions on which battery is the best, does name brand really matter? And my main concern, with these extended batteries has anyone found a holster/pouch with a clip that will fit the Note with an extended battery??? I want this stuff plus the mirror screen protector that I already found.
No response for almost two months - that's disappointing. I am also looking to add an extended battery, protective case, and holster. I have had no luck in finding a working combo for the AT&T version of the Note.
Whats a good case for the Note II that will accomodate the extended battery?
Were in the same boat,its too early,maybe in a couple of weeks seidio or mugen and hopefully otterbox & case mate will start selling protective cases for extended batteries.

"3600mAh Power Bank Battery With Front Cover For Samsung Galaxy Note 2 II N7100"
not sure if its any good tho..
is you search ebay, there are back covers that come with extended batteries.. but I personally don't like them, and don't need them... horses for courses as they say.
And yet, that's what the op needed

I am ordering an extended battery soon for a side project, but I was gonna test my bumper case with it to see if they worked together. I have one of the aluminum bumpers you can get on ebay for under 20 bucks. Doesn't seem to hurt my signal at all.
search ebay for "n7100 extended battery case" and you'll find cases that have 3600 mah battery built in to them. I need to order one but great compromise I think for battery and case
www.ebay.com/itm/3600Mah-Rechargeab...50883?pt=Battery_Chargers&hash=item337dd39723
they also have ones with the flip cover that goes over the screen too.
Can you trust those eBay ones?
Had anyone found an answer for this? I have a 6600 mah battery and I bought one of the aluminum bumper cases on eBay and my 4g signal was GONE. Took it off and my signal was strong again.

these cases are complete garbage and dangerous. be very careful. there are already tons of reviews on amazon about these cases. ive read reviews for the same type of cases as well for other phones (iphone 5/galaxy s3). they take forever to charge and heat up beyond safe temperatures (can lead to injury/harm).

the only one that i've read about that does not harm your signal is the sweet armor bumper, but it's a bit pricey. check it out in the "post your case" thread if you haven't done so already.
battery +cover? Does anyone know.
Sorry if this has been asked but I didn't see anything to that effect. I am looking to get the Samsung Galaxy Note II and it seems to have everything I want:- size, speed, specs etc. I also almost never use a smartphone without getting an extended battery and I almost never use a phone without a protective phone case, so I need to know.
TIA.
Honestly try using the phone before assuming you will need an extended battery. The stock battery on this phone is light years beyond most smart phones.

yeah, I know the reputation of the stock. But I'm the type of user that much prefers a few days of medium use without the absolute need of charging.
Wont work with mugen. You can call seidio and order the battery cover as well though. Ive been using it with the anker extended battery + seidio cover + seidio extended battery case.
The case just came out a couple of days ago and I ordered it instantly. Have been using since Friday and I love it.

So Mugen is bigger? Then, Anker and Hyperion and QCell will fit with Seidio? I'm getting Innocell and Active case for it next week. If someone can post dimensions for Mugen and Anker/Hyperion, I can verify it.
Well the hyperion I know comes with a hunchback style battery cover and that is not like the seidio. The batteries themselves are the same size, but the cover has to match.
I know the Onite comes with the same style cover as the seidio.
The mugen back piece is a lot bigger than hyperion and seidio style.
Buy the onite battery and use that cover with the seidio if you don't want to buy the seidio back cover separate. Then it will all work fine with the seidio active extended case.

Do you have a good experience with Onite brand?
Btw, since you have a lot of knowledge about this battery subject, do you think you can reply/answer some of the questions I posted in THIS thread?
Thanks so much supertrekie. Your suggesstion makes a tonne of sense. I just hope that the mugen battery is not so much bigger than the seidio's that the seidio's battery cover wouldn't fit; even though I don't think that will be a problem. But yeah, will def check it out.
Thanks, again.
Unfortunately the mugen battery is a smidge thicker than the onite and Hyperion batteries, just enough to make their covers impossible to be used with the mugen battery, since they don't snap back to the phone's casing... tried to, and now I have two extended batteries and back covers and one tpu extended battery kickstand case sitting in my drawer.

Which Seidio case and holster works with the onite battery? Is it the active case and active holster? Oops. Nevermiind. I just saw you said the active.
So the Seideo extended cover should fit the hyperion battery? That would be awsome. The seideo active case saved my Evo 4g to many times. Its the only case out there I trust. The skeleton is priceless. I am in dire need for that protection on this phone.

I don't think anybody tried it yet. Check out my Active Extended review, in sig link, for more details and dimensions of Innocell for comparison with other extended batteries.
My Samsung Note 2 should be here this wendsday along with a Mime tempered glass screen protector. I am planning on buying the Zero Lemon 9400mah battery when it is available early April. Since I'm going to mod my defender to fit the extended battery should I get another separate UAG case for the stock battery when I use it? The reason I ask is because I don't know if there will be complications between the modded defender and stock battery since I'm cutting the case. I already ordered the defender so I just don't know if I should get the UAG at this point. Also if there are any other accessories for the N2 that you recommend let me know

I don't think you'd have a problem using a modded defender with the regular phone. You may have a problem modding it in the first place to fit the zerolemon though. I would get the uag since it's so much smaller than the defender anyways and it'll look and feel better when not using the zerolemon.

I would get UAG case now since you will need a protection for your phone, and then wait until Zerolemon starts to ship their battery in a few weeks to find out if Defender could even be modified for it. Don't buy Defender yet. I can tell you that most likely I will be getting Zerolemon battery myself and I have Defender (fake) which I'm going to measure up to see if mod is even possible (which I seriously doubt).
Actually, the more I think about it, the more I consider Zerolemon as a specialty battery battery for watching movies during your commute or on a plane or when you are on a long trip, etc. For that occasion Zerolemon guys fine-tuning their TPU case to give you a good handling grip, lip protection, and basic case to hold it together. Having TPU case is convenient to switch between Zerolemon and regular battery w/UAG. No need to unlatch and remove multi-layer parts of the case. I also been told by Zerolemon team they are working on a rugged case which might be your everyday solution for their battery. Depending on that case, I might end up dropping all of my other cases and switching exclusively to it!!! It just so great to have this multi-day battery freedom
My point, don't invent into Defender yet, unless you already bought it and can't return it.

I bought the Defender case already but the ebay seller agreed to let me cancel the order. I'll be picking up the UAG case and wait on Zerolemon to release their battery. Thanks for the advice guys, and if you have anymore recommendations for accessories let me know
I dont think the defender will be able to cover that monster. I mean, it bulges with a 6400... I guess we'll see around mid-late April when the zero lemon ships.
I don't know about you guys, but if I were to buy a zerolemon I would probably never take it off. I would just get used to the 5+ days of charge and could never go back to stock battery.

Hey guys, just bought a Qcell 6200 because it was recommended as a legit battery... Does anything have a case on their extended battery?
I recently shattered my previous Note 2 and got a new one so this is rather mandatory... saw on ebay hyperion extended cases that allegedly work with most 6200mah batteries but would like to hear some opinions first.
Theres a few guys on here that have modded their defender case to work with a extended battery. You might want to give that thread a look and see if that helps.

You can also try Seidio ACTIVE Extended case. I have a detailed review here (along withe some measurements of Innocell battery it was intended for): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192306
