http://www.ebay.com/itm/280910548229?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

It has 3500mAh battery hopeing it will one full charge
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ananmetro:
Any reviews from xda user about TVC mall Mobile charger?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] iZippy:
So now that i've had my battery case for a few days, a 3500 mAh,

If the phone is drained to 5% it can recharge to 100% if the phone is off.

If on and being used with regular use. (not heavy use. but respond to sms, read an email, make a call) it will only charge the phone to 70% -+5%

if heavy use, it will basically just make the battery % stop moving while charging, (wifi teathering + playing video) for 2-4 hours. haven't spent to much time with a timer to check exact. but i'll do that within the next couple of days.

so far I'm pretty satisfied.

the covers even gave me a cheap laugh (Sanmsung Galaxy S3)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Okoplota_Sigamota:
Cheers tnx

Sent from my SG S3
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ilordvader:
Thank you soooo much :)

sound good to me
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dvaderx:
this looks like a great idea, not to have on all the time, but to slip on when needed..

can you charge both at the same time? (say the phone is in the case and then plug the case into a usb port?)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ilordvader:
Hello

I finally got my - Backup Pack Battery Cover Case (White)

& have been useing it for 2 days now & I Love it

It gives me 100% battery charge unlike the Power case I had before for Note (Black - below # 3)

which just gave me 65% charge

another good thing is it doesnt have the bright lights at bottom when charging

& most Important it charges the phone & the case at the same time, while Power Case doesnt do that
[Galaxy S III Accessories] blackguy101:
Looks nice! I have 2 questions though

1) Does it come in black

2) Does the case heat up a lot while in use? ( I heard thats a huge issue for cases like these )

3) (I know I only said 2 questions oh well lol) Can you maybe post the link as to where you purchased this case?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ilordvader:
1 yes

2 normal

3 below in post# 19

I got the 3200 mah Hyperion one from Amazon for $20 + $5 shipping. The fit is nice and so is the build. Very solid and excellent packaging. My only gripe is that I'm suffering signal loss with my LTE signal. Anyone else notice that? GPS and WiFi seem fine. Haven't tried NFC yet.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ilordvader:
Can you charge the phone & Case together ?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
I just wish this case looked as nice as the other one. IMO it looks very cheap
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dmunjal:
Yes.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] biswasd:
nfc doesnt work with these cases

fyi - bought the hyperion and khomo "juice pak cases" from amazon. they both suck ****. due to signal loss and no NFC -- nFC chip gets blocked / interference due to the extended battery on back of phone.

only realistic solution (if you dn't want signal loss or loss of nfc) is the qcell extended battery with nfc....

hope something new comes along.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dmunjal:
I think the Hyperion extended battery has NFC now.

I'm likely returning my Hyperion battery case unless someone is interested in it here.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Luraisin:
I am not english, so i dont quite understand about extended battery cover or battery case

Does it mean the back of the phone can carry an extra battery ?

I also saw 4500mAh battery , it is worth it ? compare to the official samsung 2100mAh ?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ilordvader:
That is true

but in the end i need the juice so I opt for this one :)

---------- Post added at 06:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 AM ----------

No it means the Case has got a built in battery, its also known as POWER CASE see post # 26

Video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeDsUIAOFVo

there are 3 different kind of Power Case/Battery Case on E bay-

2200mAh

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...131302?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2573797ba6

3200mAh

http://www.ebay.com/itm/280910548229?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

If it has NFC, then its Good or it will give you more battery life thats all

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Slimegod:
Is this power case a protective case or is out part of the back cover and does this fit only 3200 mah batteries.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dmunjal:
It's a case with an embedded battery. The battery cannot be replaced.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Luraisin:
So battery with a larger capicity really work on S3 ? The only change is the case which will be more thick ?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ilordvader:
Yes

See post # 36 last link
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Slimegod:
Just out of curiosity why are your returning it?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dmunjal:
It works great as a portable charger but I don't want to lose my LTE signal. I think I'm going to try the Hyperion 4200 mah extended battery.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Slimegod:
Is that the power pack or is it the regular extended battery with the case? I haven't purchased the GS3 yet so I'm trying to buy the accessories early. Gonna get out in a couple of weeks. This may sound like a silly queston but what is the NFC I see in a few posts back.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dmunjal:
The one I purchased from Amazon is a case that has a built-in battery (3200 mAh). Here is the link.

The NFC is for the battery only with a new cover. Not a case like this one.

It looks like they raised the price to $25 + $5 shipping. I'll sell it to anyone here in the US for $25 shipped via PayPal. It's brand new and never used. Includes all packaging as pictures above show.

PM me if there is interest.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Slimegod:
Oh ok thanks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dmunjal:
Just got the 4200 battery from Hyperion. Not a bad solution. I like it better than the external battery case. It's still up for sale if anyone is interested.

Now I just need an external charger to charge this beast. The Samsung one doesn't fit.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Slimegod:
Is the battery u just received like the battery case your selling or is it a extended battery? Where did you get the 4200mah from ebay or amazon?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dmunjal:
I ended up returning the battery case to amazon. I then bought the hyperion 4200 mah battery and cover from amazon. Much better solution.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] scarrmrcc:
Judging by pics alone,

it seems the hyperion battery ends up being smaller than the battery case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
Do you have a link for the exact battery you bought?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dmunjal:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008GWIVTQ/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8

They even lowered the price by $5!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] iGoOsE76:
I ordered the same one but in white and silver. I haven't received it yet.. I was wondering how good is this back up charger case?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
why cant the white one be lowered too?! I would buy!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] blackguy101:
Is the battery really 4200 mah? I mean the reviews are good and all but im still skeptical -_-
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Slimegod:
Ok is there a extended protective case for a phone with a extended battery? And what is NFC? I haven't gotten the GS3 yet and I'm just trying to get all the information about the phone before I do.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
Well now it's up by $5....and its prime available lol.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerdtaco:
Power Skin posted in a comment on their Facebook page that they are working on a battery case with NFC. Power skins are kinda expensive though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
Yeah its usually like $70+.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] blackguy101:
well are they reliable though and a decent case is the question
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Alex Charles:
Well I've been using it for about a week or so now and it's doing well. It is about half the weight of the phone and the case allows me another 8ish hours of heavy use (games/videos/calls etc)

Surprisingly the built in stand has come in handy, but I did have to wait 2-3 weeks for it to arrive in the UK.

On a side note, it hasn't effected my cell reception unlike the metal case I had previously.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
which one are you using again Alex?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerdtaco:
From what I've read, yes. I'm waiting on Power Skin and will spend the money on it. I've not had a single issue with battery life though, so I may even hold off altogether.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kb9nvh:
I got this yesterday...charged it all night, plugged it in this morning and it seemed to work at first..then it started to repeat the "i'm plugged in beep" like it was being pluged in and out about once a second. Finally it stopped doing that and now it just beeps once then drops out of chage and does nothing. Green light and all on the battery case but it wont charge my phone and the phone is dropping percenage as normal for the internal battery. I say defective unit from the get go..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ilordvader:
Sorry to hear that

But i have no Issue with mine

actually I hardly use it

suprisingly S3 is giving me a good Battery Life :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kb9nvh:
We'll see how the merchant handles it..so far he's trying to see if I

turned the switch on or if I plugged it in all the way.

The first night the battery back got pretty hot being plugged in and

attached to the phone..maybe charging while plugged in is a no no?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] anhgolfer:
Battery

I got the same one yesterday, Does your get very hot when it is charging?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ModdedS3:
I have a power bank 2100Mah battery case and don't use it no more because it was messing with my cell signal when it was charging so I too the case off and order and 4200Mah Hyperion battery and back with a Tpu case and I'm happy with it
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dogpuke1:
A short review

SAVE YOUR MONEY, Its NOT that interesting!

Have one used for about two weeks now, works OK but front lights drive you nuts and switch can't seem to make its choice about whats its

going to do in any kind of sequence . make sure you use a Samsung cord with it. very touchy about commands with non OEM cord. Its alot a work to charge as it will not charge both batteries at once..AND I doubt the 3500 mah rating on the battery pack! It doesnt seem to put much zip back into internal battery, As I think it just recharges internal battery. phone continues to run on internal battery as far as I can tell from instruction manual and phone operation. I thought it was going to be the ultimate answer, but its not even close. On an average day it will run about 14 hours or so...ho hum and I can't find any kind of carry case to stick it into. maybe a Glock holster might fit!..I am going back to my Lion extended battery..

---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 PM ----------

I got the 3500 mah battery pack case and I noticed that too always falling to 3G or less all the time in regular areas and my signal is really weak at times and even when its not charging. Also gets very warm when charging!...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] edress714:
I also have the herion 3200, I just charged from 6% to 41% and it got done. The 4th light went to the 3rd in less than a minute, i was like wtf? third stayed on for a bit longer but then the 2nd stays on the longest, then the 1st and done. 35%????? and YES the bottom portion of the phone gets extremely hot, the charging port actually burns you lol the metal part. is this normal or do I have a bad one? It was fully charged two days ago. does it lose charge when not being used and off?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] iGoOsE76:
for those that are saying that the phone and the unit getting hot and not giving you a full 80 to 90% full charge, if you turn the phone off and charge it then it wont get hot and it will get you to the most 90% full charge.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] edress714:
how long do you leave it off for? have you tried charging it on? if so how much didthat increaseit to. another funny thing. My battery went from 41% to 44% on its own lol

Been hearing from a lot of ppl here that the testing saw some issues that moto is trying to correct. Some even claim that the OTA will be available in a week. But what's the basis for these claims? Has Moto stated anywhere that they are done with development? The official page for ICS uodate news is still not updated. So how can we be sure of all this?
