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.

I have the extended battery, and cant find a case ANYWHERE... Anyone know of anything?
That is a good question.. i have not seen anything offical other than seidio having cases for their extended batteries(still in development according to website.
Looks like walmart or a mall kiosk for a pouch as a temp fix to this case problem....
I used a razor blade to cut my soft case to fit my 3500 battery. Looks pretty good. I will never go back to using the stick battery.

It works for their extended battery or for the stock battery. I have been using one since it came out and also for years on my xv6800... I am VERY happy with their products so far.
Normal caveats... YMMV, IMHO, yadda yadda yadda

I took a razor blade to the Amzer Silicon case I have used before with the stock battery. The battery door sticks out a little. Cheap solution until there is actual products on the market...I think I paid $10 including shipping from ebay. I am sure you can mod any other stock case with a cutout so the battery can extend, but that is up to you... I figured the price I paid vs the use I got from it evened out

And for added protection stick one of these on the back of the battery door

They come in all sorts of colors and designs
You can mod cases for the humpback door designs, but not the fatty doors all of the lower cost, eBay extended bats ship with.
I am wondering if I would have any luck buying a cheapo silicone and a cheapo hard case from Amazon or eBay, cutting the backs out of both of them for the extended battery, and putting them both on so it would be kind of like an Otterbox. Is that feasible or should I just buy the Otterbox and mod it (I figured the cheapo cases would be less of a loss if it turned out to be a big fail)?
We now have Silicone cases available for the Droid Incredible and Evo 4G Extended batteries. Black, Red, Pink and Purple are available.

Need better pics. The pic on the link provided looks nothing like anything that would fit on an Incredible. Do these cases fit on the Seidio 3500 mAh batteries?

I agree. Please post more pictures. The box shape of the case makes me wonder if the phone would just sit in the case with too much room. Like if you grip the phone with the case on it, does the case cave in around the phone? Does the case feel solid enough or firm when on the phone? Just doesnt look like it would conform to the phone correctly. Im sure im not describing what im trying to find out correctly.
Post pics of the inside of the case?
This case does not fit with the seidio innocell 3500 battery which imo is the only one worth buying there is a case specifically for this battery on the seidio website however doesnt appear to give much protection my hope is that they design a rugged case for the extended battery
For the 2150 HTC extended battery, here is a good place:
http://shop.htcpedia.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=1104&compability_product=757
Would recommend not using silicone only as all of them tend to slip off pretty easily. But they do have hard rubber ones, the black ones look much better than red.
Has anyone seen any cases designed for the Extended battery yet? I haven't had any luck looking around thus far...

Yes, I have the extended battery and picked up the Shell\Holster combo from vzw. It fits the extended battery very nice and fits in the dock.

Right on, i'll have to see if they got them locally. Didn't have any luck when I originally purchased it. Thanks

I have the Shell/Combo case but this thing is terrible for protection and the holster is atrocious. The nice and shiny top and bottom of the phone is exposed to scratches and nicks in the shell and the holster barely holds anything (I travel a lot in the subway and it fell out several times onto the floor when shuffling between people). I can not trust this. I am seriously hoping Seidio rushes out their extended battery cases soon. Otterbox just refuses to account for extended batteries, but since protection is top priority for me more so than battery life, I guess I'm stuck to using the regular battery with Otterbox until Seidio's comes out.

I thought the Shell\Combo was very similar to the Seidio case I had for my TB with the extended battery. So far no problems with it falling out but I haven't been using the belt clip portion. (I usually carry in my pocket). Also I don't use the subway so I can see how that would factor in. So far Seidio hasn't posted anything about an extended battery case, if they do that would be great.
I like the case while it does leave the top and bottom exposed it allows me to use the extended batery in both the car and HDMI dock.
i'm pretty happy with my shell case, and the kickstand is great for using my phone as a clock at night.

Just picked up the Car Dock and I can confirm that the shell case with extended battery works with it! Way to go Moto! You finally got it right.
I haven't driven with it yet, I will test that on the drive home.
Of note: The Car Dock doesn't come with a vehicle charger nor is there a plug for the audio cable in the dock. This would have been a nice feature to keep from having to reconnect it. But over all its a good accessory.
bought two extended batteries at the 50% off and the shell cases with kickstand and belt clip love them..

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.
found this: http://www.amazon.com/3600mAh-Power...53488548&sr=1-72&keywords=galaxy+note+2+n7100
"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.
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
I was wondering if anyone has tried using the Seidio Active Extended case with other batteries like the extended Hyperion or Anker batteries? Does the Seidio Extended Battery Cover fit those batteries?
Thanks
After my review of Innocell and Active Extended case, I was asking the same question but never heard back from anybody either. In that review I posted all the dimensions so perhaps someone can confirm?

I've used the Active Extended with the Anker battery and it fits perfectly. That was before switching to the ZL9300 which does not fit with the Active Extended...
If you put on the back and the battery there is still room to fit thicker batteries. Don't know which ones, but if you press on it, there is some flex and spare room underneath.

Good question! You can't get Seidio battery cover without buying Innocell (Seidio's 4500 mAh extended battery). While Active Extended is stand-alone product. I just looked up battery cover picture of Anker and it resembles battery cover of Innocell (continues line instead of like in some other brand where they have a big step in battery cover). So, I assume Anker extended with it's cover will fit Active Extended case. But let's wait for confirmation from Technorico and Chris.
The active case is nice and all, but I've been waiting for their extended convert case. I enjoyed it on my thunderbolt It's much more rugged and hiker friendly.
