What kind of review do you want? I have owned mine for almost a mo. I test and monitor my battery life daily. I went from charging my battery at least once or twice a day to not charging it until I go to bed.

I avg 17hr up time and 5-6 hrs screen on time. Only on 4g lte? I am usually at 3:15 hr screen on time at 50%. Daily. When I get home in the afternoon I do connect to my WiFi but on days I haven't used WiFi at all I have never gotten less than 5:30 hrs screen on time. I always sync data and keep auto bright on. 77 apps I use Lol. A few games I play off and on. Most of my usage is YouTube and forum surfing. I couldn't be happier as it is only 2/3mm larger than stock. I don't run a case and may get one but not been a priority. I keep phone in my pocket and have a skinomi protector on it.

I toggle GPS off until needed. Although all location services are enabled. I'm in a decent signal area.

All in all I just am floored by this and IMO it is the best battery you can buy. If I wanted a walkie talking I would buy a zero lemon but I do not care as it makes a full day no problem.

I also use a wireless qi charger if when I get home and have many more things to do I just lay it on the mat and bump charge it. With the extended battery on my wireless pad it starts disconnecting and reconnecting after around 75% full charge. Fairly annoying. A stock battery works perfect with qi.

This is my opinion and I have plenty of screenshots to support it. As long as you don't have a draining app and keep an eye on your android os and system usage so that you can diagnose runaways you will get fantastic results

My stock battery would get 3ish hours screen on time for reference. This battery doubles that everyday or very close to that

Could you please elaborate on your set up? did you to tweak the back cover and or the receiver? Would you be so kind to post some pictures of your set up.

I am thinking of getting one for work and home, i think it would be really nice, but im afraid of investing if it doesnt work.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] jmz768:
It's a bigger battery, it works by providing more power than the standard battery.

Got my blue today and it has displaced my three-day old black. It is a blue that matches the "pebble" blue case. Well made and great fit. Very nice.

I already invested in wireless qi before I bought this larger 3k mah battery. I purchased 1 qi for myself and 1 qi for my wife on eBay for $25 a pop. Then bought 1 single charging pad for the bedroom and 1 energizer dual charger for the den.

My wife's gs3 and my gs3 when both had stock batteries would solely use wireless qi chargers. Night, day, whatever. Fantastic results. 0 disconnects works perfect.

When over to the larger battery I was able to squeeze the wireless qi under the Samsung supplied backplate. I bent the connector a hair and put tape over the back of it to more securely ensure it has a good connection. If my phone is low I still use the qi pads but now I wall charge it every night. It only disconnects and reconnects after it gets to 75% for what ever reason. It will charge but if I get up in the middle of the night I hear the damn thing beeping all night but it will be at 100% the next day....I just wall charge it at night.

My wife still has a stock battery and she uses her wireless every night. She went from ****ing with a charging cable and usually turning lights on to just setting her alarm and laying the phone down. The bedroom charger is the typical white eBay qi single charger. Works well.

Overall I am still very sold on wireless charging. Call it lazy. I don't care. Its fantastic.

Sorry for such a long post and I really don't have any pics never really thought to snap any. But for me, I had the extra $130ish at the time and really wanted it. I outfitted 2 devices and have had 0 issues other than mentioned for months. Fantastic but you pay for luxury items.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aarontsuru:
I have the white phone, but went ahead and bought the blue just now. I love the black, but it's just too serious looking. I really wish they made a few other colors, like a matte sky blue. That with the white phone? Nom. Or matte orange! Oh man. I'd eat that up!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] LostSymphonies:
I just tried one of those fake Spigen Neo Hybrids from sunsky with the extended battery. It fit very loose on the original, but with the extended battery and no cover it actually fits pretty nice. No slippage or anything. It just bulges out slightly but not very noticeable. Im debating on cutting a slim backplate for it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nm8:
we have the same setup, except that I pnly have 1qi charger in ther kitechen My phone has the official extended battery and I still use my qi charger on it. But I don't have the disconnection you mention, what I notice though is when the charge goes to 99%, it takes a while to go to 100% and fully charged. I will test again today...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stkiswr:
That's good to know. I was wondering if anyone else had similar issue. Its damn consistent. Placement is spot on. But since you have said that I will look into it and see if I can make some adjustment or calibration? Thanks for heads up tho. R u using the eBay white qi charger with the blue green lights when charging? My wife's phone works fine but I was only attributing it to extended battery

Here my usage with the extended battery highly impressive . I bought the battery from mobileciti.com.au for $33 plus shipping. Just waiting for my diztronic case to arrive.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] stkiswr:
It should get better. This is mine at 50% battery on soley 4g lte :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nm8:
Yes, just align the tabs to the phone contacts, use a little tape to hold it, and close that side first.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
Well my standard diztronic case has completely stretched to fit at this point. The new case looks good, not really worth the $ though for me just to get protected buttons.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] accrews2001:
Just received a zoogue case to try with this battery. For 99 cents I just had to try it. I am really surprised how well it fits and a little more surprised that it was made for the standard battery. Wish I could've gotten the gray one, but the black works fine with pebble blue. The case is just barely of from center on the mics, but sits perfect for the usb and audio ports.

I have this battery and Im really pleased with it.

I have a old s line case, but it didn't fit with the new battery, so I placed it in the microwave for 20secs then stretched it to fit. Now it is perfect :)

Hope this trick helps :)

I was able to take care of this for this customer, but for future reference I don't usually check threads or PMs for customer service issues. If I see your message I'll certainly address it, but for fastest service please use the Support link on our website.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] galexandr:
Guys. I have had the battery and loving it. My question is if anyone found a skin protector, something similar to elago. I don't mind taking the back cover off for a better fit. I like ZeaGoo but I'm looking for something a little slicker/thiner. Or may be a slick bumper case?

Thank you.

How much thicker is this battery compared to stock? For those that have it, do you think its possible to mod the stock battery cover to utilize my existing UAG case?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DonHuan:
Are there other optimised cases like Diztronic? I'd buy Diztronic if they have shipped to Russia, but they don't. :(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aarontsuru:
So far, it seems that's the only specific one, but others mostly fit or can be manipulated slightly to fit. Read through the thread, there's a few solutions in there. =)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DonHuan:
I've been reading this thread since beginning, but there's only ZooGoe, which isn't fits very well. Maybe I missed sth?

[Galaxy S III Accessories] accrews2001:
Ran into a problem this morning. I always charge the phone overnight with the phone on. Last night I plugged it in at 10%. This morning it said 100% and then when I unplugged it the battery indicator instantly changed to say 65% charged. I plugged it back in and it continued to charge. Turned off the phone and it also indicated ~65% based on the picture. Turned the phone back on, it still indicated 65%. I plugged it back in and it seems to charge fine now - it's almost up to 97% as I type.

I've had this battery about a week now and this is the first time this has happened. Any ideas?

I'm on stock AT&T JB, rooted. Haven't changed any ROMs or done any flashing since using this battery. I'm using the Samsung wall charger and I think it's the usb cable that came with the phone. In any case I've always used the same charging setup in the past when on travel and have never seen this. I assume it's not phone hardware, as I never had this issue with the original battery.

How is the feel in hand & performance between the two?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gingson:
+1. I got the dark blue, which is almost black. Very nice fit. It may be an issue with a curved screen protector that covers the entire glass.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gingson:
Are you using any battery calibration app or any battery app? It happened to me once so I removed the battery calibration app. Went to recovery and flashed my backup without a battery app. Not sure if this did it but it hasn't happened again.... Yet. :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] accrews2001:
Nope. I've never even downloaded a calibration app. I looked into it after this happened and discovered that best case it wouldn't do anything, and worse case it would prevent my phone from booting.

Oddly it hasn't happened again since I posted this. After it happened, I charged it until it said 100%, unplugged it (it stayed at 100%), powered off the phone, plugged it in for a few minutes after it said 100%, unplugged it and powered up, and plugged it in for a few minutes again (even though it still already said 100%). I have no idea if this process did anything or if I was just unlucky that one night.

I have to say though, regardless of that one-time issue, this battery is awesome!

Guys who have the battery, can any if you tell me exactly the thickness of the extended battery? How many millimeters more than the standard one? I'm asking because I'm thinking about buying it and making a cutout on the default cover and "maybe" continue to use my Rock case with it. Thanks!

Stock is like 8 milimiters and with extended is like 11 close to 12 milimiters

I just ordered the battery through mobilefun, as well as the diztronic matte black case for my white s3, but i have a quick question for everyone with the diztronic already. I have a spigen curved crystal screen protector. do you think the case will interfere with the edges of the screen protector? is anyone else running this combo?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jmz768:
The edges of the case go well beyond the edge of the glass. As long as you're careful putting it on and don't peel up an edge, you should be fine.

Received my blue-to-match-pebble-blue Diztronic case (Amazon) and extended battery (Mobile Fun) yesterday. Will let you all know how it goes after a few days.

The case is a perfect fit and very classy, but I like having more colorful options so I ordered some cheapo stretchy ones on Amazon...will also let you all know how they fit. I'm dying to purchase a patterned case but most of them are the harder plastic, which I assume would have less give and would be less likely to stretch & fit with the extended battery.

Oddly enough I agree with many here who have stated that they like the feel of the phone in hand better with the extended battery. It feels more balanced and it's not crazy heavy or anything.

Not going to happen, for touchstone or Qi users, they will need to remodify the wireless receivers to support the extra height of the battery.

Sorry to be a Debbie-downer but this just seems fishy.... I can't find anything on Amazon, Ebay, Google nothing. You would think if this was on sale outside the US or has been for some period of time, someone would have posted about it on XDA. I sure hope I'm wrong because I would get one of these batteries in a heartbeat but again these just seems fishy.

Agreed, but as soon as something hits another market, there is a 95% chance of showing up on Ebay. I find it hard to belive that its out there, since I have not seen one bit of evidence that it is being sold anywhere. In other words, its got a SKU, but its not being sold as of right now.

There was one sold on ebay at the end of Nov.

That's the best I could do too, 3 hours is.my max. Hence I call bs to those who can manage to 5-6 hours on heavy usage. Probably they turned off 3g etc.

Its achievable. 3g on all the time with some castle TD playing .
[Galaxy S III Accessories] accrews2001:
Paul, that's kind of comparing apples to oranges isn't it since you're on 3g? 3g will use less battery than lte as I understand it.

Regardless, none of these posts for battery life are comparable to each other - Differing ROMs, service areas, apps, etc... There's never enough info provided. More just for fun really.
