Here is a case with charger! - Galaxy Note II Accessories

http://www.everbuying.com/product276200.html

that's pretty cool. Could be useful for power burners and really long trips or days. And $23 is pretty cheap.

Where is the cut out for the mic etc

I don't think a lot of the things for the n7100 fit the AT&T or other branded note IIs
correct me if I'm wrong?

Looks like they dont want you talking on the phone with this thing..
On a side note: how do these things actually work? Does it constantly keep your phone in charging mode (until the external battery is drained)? or does the phone use your main battery, THEN switch to the external battery (or vice versa)? (sorry I have never used one of these on any phone...only seen them for crapple phones)

Just ordered one will update when tested out.....

This looks very interesting. I'd be interested to see how it works for you.
It looks a little awkward to get the phone in and out without damaging the usb plug.

When turned on, the external case battery pack will keep the phone battery charged until it's depleted.

I don't think it is a good idea using a case like this since it does nothing to protect the front glass edges of the Note 2 since it is snapping on primarily through the back. If you drop your Note 2 with this on, there is a good chance it will be against the front edges of the glass display and the notable amount of added weight increases the chance of cracking. It is much better to have a standard case that provides a lip and get a cheap $10 spare battery.

How do you remove the stylus? I hope we get better charging cases than this soon...

No hole for the s pen also..
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

I went and checked out the one that ATT has(also listed on web site). It's $99 retail and the battery is in the face cover. The cover is extremely thick and heavy. To my surprise when I went to fold the cover close it wouldn't close. the battery/cover hits the screen of the phone. If you press hard it will lie flat but there is no clasp to close it. The guy at the store couldn't figure it out either. It seemed like a totally terrible design.

I have had a similar one for a while now , in white color costs about 30$ here in singapore , its quite good and sturdy , the drawback mainly is that you cant remove the stylus when you have this case on . but otherwise the case and the battery is good hope we get a better design with the option to remove the spen or hook it up somewhere in the case should also be fine.. instead of in the phone..

Found this by accident while searching for a charger. $25 + $2 shipping. Available in black or white. Built in kickstand.

I just ordered the case that the OP posted. I will let you know as well how I like it. It isn't the perfect design but for the basic functionality of having an extra battery built into the case is good enough for me. The factory battery is already pretty good if you know how to maximize the life of it. I won't use the case everyday, but only during those times when I really need a extra long battery life and don't have access to a charger. And for just under $25 it looks like a good deal to me
Thanks for sharing OP

Looking carefully at the picture at the posted URL, it looks like there is a little dimple where the mic is so you can talk. But it appears to cover the Spen completely.

HTC 2150 + Dremel + VZW Red Case

I got my HTC 2150mAH battery today from VZW. It's HUGE, but I've been thinking about how to make it more streamlined since I heard about it. Enter my dremel work.
Dremel out the rear of the VZW snap case to match the bulge on the new battery door. Sand it down smooth, and here you have it. It's pretty nice feeling, and it doesn't bulge out too much. It's still bulkier than before, however if you had a protective case already it isn't much of a difference.
Now, my phone looks good and holds a charge longer.

NOTE:
Decided to meet some of the demand and offer my modding to you guys.
I will do this on a per request basis for $45 including the case, and $25 if you mail me the case yourself. This includes shipping the case to you (you pay for shipping to me). If I grab the case myself, I simply run to the VZW store and pick on up, and this saves you on shipping to me.
PM me if you want me to do this. Just give me about 5 days or so turnaround time, as I have full time obligations elsewhere.
where did you order this battery? i want one?
Best looking one I've seen yet. You should buy a bunch of those cases and modify them for sale.
At $20-$30 per case, plus the time to modify them it wouldn't be worth it to both buyer and myself. If anyone wants, send me the money and I can do it on a need basis, but I'm not going to stock these.
nice work man!
I did something very similar with mine!!!! I just cut the back out of the black silicone case so the battery sticks through the back...it looks 10x better now and I will be keeping my 2150 because of it. If people want pics of this let me know.

Could you post up some pictures? The red case looks good but I'm wondering if the black case looks even better since the the phone is already black and it might blend in better.
Could you post pics I have the same case, but I'm iffy about getting the battery.
What happens to the antenna in the modified case?
I was told after checking the original back casing that the antenna is part of the backing. Now that the case has been altered did anyone think to look where the antenna is laying now. You have to look very close at the inside of the back of the case to see that the antenna was embedded and camouflaged. How is the reception?
I noticed that there are cheap Dremels on sale online. Is it ok to use a crappy cordless one for this task, since there really isn't much material to remove?
I don't have my other camera at work so I had to use the camera on the phone using a mirror. I'll try to remember to take a better pictures or pictures sometime. It looks nice though, it doesn't look silly anymore.

Verizon is accepting phone orders of the battery. I recieved mine yesterday it feels great not having to run to a charge 49% battery ( 6:57am last charge to now 11:13pm )
that's 16 hours of moderate use and still no urgency to plug it in lmao
No takers on the Antenna question.
Got the new battery and case backing yesterday. Sure enough the antenna is mounted covertly in the center of the back of the case on the inside as is the standard one. So if the stylish have decided to cut away this area what trick was employed to replace the Antenna? How is the reception? Also, the idea of shaving down the power button is neat. Does it have a height limitation? It should have been done in the original design since it can be bumped when inside of a case which will keep initiating the screen power. Battery drain!!!!
that looks badass!!!!

Well I just got 2 of them in, and took some good shots of them. Marking them in the pictures.
Check the gallery for the links. Also, the fake battery doesn't fit with the normal back case.
*note* I knew I wasn't exactly getting legit batteries, so $11.98 wasn't a big loss

This battery blows, it really does. I want to try the other 1800 mAh variety I've seen around. Instinct tells me it's probably garbage as well, but it's worth a shot I suppose. I think I'm going to start a battery review thread for the Incredible as soon as I get around to testing the ones I have (stock, OEM 1500 mAh, this one and the OEM 2150 mAh). Too many people have the same questions about the same batteries.

I like this idea a lot
HTC Incredible
I also ordered this battery. It's about the same as the stock battery life for me. I may try to order an OEM 1500 here soon. I heard the 1800's on amazon are legit (not OEM, but work). But they don't allow you to just order the battery. You have to get 2, plus a charger.
Yuppers - I also just got my 2 and to be honest they kinda fit ;-)
I can get them into the phone and snap the top and bottom of the rear cover down but not the sides. I have been using a BodyGlove case that snaps shut so it holds things together. Since I am using the hard shell BG case I may try to remove the back plate completely and see what happens....but like you said $12 is not life changing.
For those that LIED about these batteries simply 'fitting' with the rear case and working - please do me a favor and go screw yourselves.....liars.

I was able to get my 1800 from that ebay seller to fit. I hate to push a bit harder to snap down the sides, but it fit. But they are knockoffs, so I doubt there is much statistical research into making them all exactly the same size.
Mine fit. And they work better than the piece of crap that came with my phone. Sorry if it doesn't work for you. I use my phone all day and I move around too much to charge it. I have four of these batteries. I'd say on average, the original gives me probably 6 hours, where the "fake" gives me 8 to 9. Change my battery once a day and never have to worry about charging. That's with heavy usage. And it was only $5.98.
Call me a liar if you want, just sounds like jealousy to me.
Today I got 8 hours out of it and im at 50% now. Pretty good after first charge and for $8
14 hours, 16%...
Only complaint so far is the back of the phone fits toooooo snug and therefore my case fits more snug and now it puls on my screen protector and peels it up.
I just ordered another 1500, looks like HTC sells black only batteries now.
They say 'HTC Innovation'.
Just a cut and paste of reply in another topic:
I bought two 1800 with a charger off of ebay for 15 dollars. They fit in the regular case (just barely) but they maybe last a few hours longer than a stock one. I can make it through 8 hours at work now without having to plug in. Oh well, I now have two extra batteries I can quick swap and go in case of a pinch..
It does fit in mine. Not sure if its and updated version to those of you who say it doesnt fit though.
FWIW my "oem evo" 1500mAh $4 Ebay battery did pretty well.

I bought two of these batteries from this seller and I got them to fit. And as far as them being crap, I went for over 48 hours on just one of these batteries with medium use. Try doing that with a stock battery.
I bought the HTC Express 1800 battery and it's working fine for me, and it fits in the phone. Yes, a bit snug but I don't have any issues with my case or screen protector.

Has anyone tried this specific "smart cover" case?

I looked around for smart covers on ebay and found the cover below. It doesn't fold around like this case does and in general looks more stable judging by the pictures (they could be wrong though).
Have any of you tried it? I have not found a review of it yet but I figured it might be worth asking.

Yes I have this case, I tell you its a beautiful case to hold and look at. There are other colour variants available which I got the red one.
Its very sleek, doesn't add much weight or bulk to the device.
The sleep functions works brilliantly, and doesn't lock the device when you fold it over to hold like a book, which some do.
ONE DOWNSIDE!!!! - The stand is very hard to figure out (i have not yet figured how to fold it to make it stand up haha !)
Hope this helps answer your questions.
And I genuinly recommend this case as its ace ! (that rhymes weee)

You're right mate, asif
Yeah the coloured variants have a lip that does go round the back, but its not noticeable and surely you want this to keep it nicely closed and secure?

I think it's noticeable, especially when I have that extra flap to fold back over when I'm using the N7 in my hand.
I want to keep it closed and secure, sure, when it's in a bag or something. But my N7 spends most of its time on my coffee table or bar; I'd love to have a slim case with just a flap over the screen to keep the dust out. That doesn't cost $30+ like the Poetics or Portenzos of the world.

So do you have this exact case or not? I've seen the other ones and I'm not interested in them after reading the reviews. That's why I started a new thread about this one. If you do have this one, some pictures would be great.
I went and ordered one of these, but likely won't have it for a couple of weeks since it's coming from China. Will post my impressions when it arrives.

That's a different case, with the wrap-around flap on the right side. I already have that one.
look, heres the deal, that case may look pretty but any case like that wont stay closed. for it to be closed, there would have to be magnets along the edges like the portfolio. any case maker that says the case will stay closed without magnets on the border is lying.
I own one and its awesome. Buy it.

I have to admit, I never really liked these cases... but after seeing that YouTube review online, I'm curious enough to give it a shot.
I'm absolutely in love with this Speck case, but I do have a minor concern with it. I use my Nexus 7 frequently, very frequently, and not only that but I use it for work. I'm continually walking up and down the hall at work going from one problem to another, using my N7 along the way. As a result, I'm concerned I may wear out the clip on the Speck case quite a bit. This only became a thought when I realized the clipping mechanism is significantly easier now than it was when I bought it. Broken in? Maybe. Will it get even softer? Very possible. This case ensures that won't happen since the magnets of course don't have physical contact to wear like that. While the higher stand up position seems a bit easy to topple over, the other one with the N7 (one I'd likely prefer anyway) looks a bit better in terms of stability.
At any rate, ah, I bought one just now - we'll see what happens when it gets here.
Edit - for what it's worth the one I ordered did indeed have the magnetic flap that goes around back to ensure it stays shut. I'm not sure I'd consider one without...
Case arrived today, so far I like it, the cover lies flatter than the eBay case with the extra flap, and it feels slimmer. Only downside so far is that it sometimes puts the tablet to sleep when I fold it back. We'll see if it gets better over time. I'll try to take pictures when I have a chance.

maybe slip something to block the magnet on the back? not sure what can maybe help on that front, but maybe a little thickness might be enough.
Side note, anyone have this and the poetic slimline case? I got the first case they had for my uncle, but it's a bit difficult for him to open. I'd get him a portenzo like mine, but it might actually add more bulk than I'd want for him.

Be careful, if the batteries aren't properly made, they can go off (if it has a bad overcharge protection circuit). In India many people used to buy fake/duplicate Nokia batteries and had/have similar results, giving Nokia a bad name in some cases. Not often but definitely occurs. Just saying because it doesn't even mention the brand.
Better off with zerolemon battery and dual layer case.
Sent from my LG-D800 using XDA Free mobile app
original battery is best
Do not take the risk
wonder if it fits the Verizon model.
btw the zerolemon one has issues with obstructing the camera and the buttons not working very well. (at least from the few reviews I can find)
hmmm if someone has the zerolemon one can you let me know if the portion around the camera is able to be dremel'd away a bit?
Might have to get one and see if I can 3d scan-edit-3d print a new one at a friends house

That would be so epic! Keep us posted please! Lol
I contacted zerolemon about the case.
Looking at pictures from reviews and amazon/their own site, I have a feeling they changed the case around the camera.
the reviews I have seen show it more of a contoured shape but the one I see on amazon its square and a little further away from the camera.
If they changed it I may order one and see, if it blocks the camera I will see about dremelling around the contour and see if I can "fix" it lol.
I've got a Kinect set up and ill 3d scan the parts before hand and look at modifying for a 3d printer.
Ok got a response from zerolemon.
Hello,
Thanks for your question. The camera part of the case has been widened to fix the obstruction issue, but the power button doesn't change.
So the camera is fixed. No dremel needed.
The button issue might not be a deal breaker, I usually use knock on to wake it. Volume could be the clincher.
I'm gonna think about getting it since its half the cost of the mugen one and I like how the zerolemon one doesn't have the plug dangling.
According to the video review the verizon g2 does fit.
I know this is a kind of old thread but seriously, the pics on that eBay listing look horribly photoshopped. I would be very cautious buying this case. Look closely at the buttons, and why is the entire case clearly visible, except the top. The top part of the case is extremely blurry. I don't know, something looks fishy about it.
Hi Guys Here is the same one but cheaper.

In a couple of weeks I'm going to give it a try the price makes me doubt of the product.
I have two ZeroLemon G2 battery cases (the seller sent an extra one and never responded when I emailed them), the second one is unopened. I'd be willing to sell for cheap if anyone is interested. It takes some work to get the case on correctly (specifically the volume and power buttons), but is otherwise about what you'd expect for such a product.

The one I'm using is square, so the unopened one is presumably square as well. I'll have photos up shortly. I'd be asking $20+shipping (I'm near Cleveland, OH). I can't imagine having a need for 7000 mah worth of G2 batteries in my house. The only time I ever use the case is when I'm driving Uber, I like to have Waze, Dash (connected to a Bluetooth OBD adapter), and audio going w/o having cords in the way, and that's the only way to do it.
I will pm you with details. Btw i live in michigan. Howdy neighbor. Haha

Anyway, for the rest of you, here are some photos so you can get an idea of what it looks like:

This is everything that comes in the package, minus a couple of items. One is the glued-on screen protector. I didn't like it so I took it off. The other thing is there is a backing plate with styrofoam on the other side. This goes in where the battery would be if you are choosing to use the phone and case by itself, without the battery. I don't know where I placed mine, and I can't really see ever needing it anyway.
G2 case next to my old Nexus 4.
The camera and power buttons from the outside. I apologize for the quality of the shot, that bathroom mirror is dirty. I guess I could have just used the Nexus 4 to take a better picture, or my QX-10 attachment, but I was lazy.
Why would you need to use this? In my opinion it makes phone too big which isn't as comfortable at all!
Durability. I work where it can be dropped on a concrete floor easily. Or if in my pocket crushed. Plus the extra battery is nice.
Thank you Sean35. Just got the case today. The Verizon g2 does fit with a little extra efort. Agree the screen protector is coming off lol. Only issue i have is the "incompatible charger" bug. I am rooted running a custom kit kat rom so gotta figure that out.

Anyone buy this metal bumper?

Obviously no real pics, so kinda sketchy.
Anyone contemplating going with this just based on the renderings?
found this one too, looks like it has a glass back.

Also interested, like the looks of this one
Just a heads up guys, I bought a aluminium frame bumper for my edge...it looks great but it totally screws up my gps. The phone really struggles to maintain a gps lock, and drops often. As soon as I take it off, the gps is fine again and it works fine with a plastic case.

be careful with this. put something similar on my iphone5 and it kinda caused rubbed marks on the aluminium on the phone when I removed it. when manufacturers make these kind of bumpers, they need to line the inside with rubber or plastic because it doesnt take a scientist to know metal on metal is not good...
edit: also looked online and apparently you can use metal wool to buff the marks out
Uhh since this post is on top again. I bought this thing and posted pics in the "post your case" thread.
Overall good case with slightly off manufacturer tolerances(based of the one I recieved). Some extra bits of paper here and there, and it fixed the problem for me.
To address the above issue. The back of the case is lined with a cloth material, and the sides are lined with foam. It wouldn't scratch your phone.
How about the GPS issues mentioned earlier?
GPS works fine.
My experience wit metallic bumper can´t be worse. I used it only once, with the HTC M9, and it scratched the corners while decreases the signal quality... A real mess that I would´t advise at all.

try search online and you can buff out the metal on metal scratches/marks
I bought it, pretty much same one. Cost $15 on eBay. Comes in a fancy metal tin, with extra screws and screw driver. The signal loss was barely noticeable if at all. Definitely excellent quality.

I think ill get pending on your reply
I already have one from ebay. And it works great with my s6 edge. You can search the item ID 121649023539 on ebay for more information.Here is the one
I ordered.
I take my comments back about these bumpers. It's effecting my cell/data signal.
Don't buy metal bumpers.

bad times…! I think the signal is distorted by the metal. even my DAB radio goes a bit weird when my laptop or S6E is too close to it
Interesting, I wonder why there are so many of these metal bumper threads and why so many people keep saying they're great and don't affect the signal. Separately, I would think that there could be a market for just simple rubber or plastic bumpers.
