Does the battery take a few cycles to settle in? First day with the new battery, got around 13 hours uptime, 3 hours on screen time with LTE on.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] iridaki:
LTE is the silent killer...

does anyone know if there's a kevlar type tape that I could tape to the back of this Zoogue case to add some more impact protection? I'd hate to have spent 19 bucks for rush delivery alone for nothing.

OMG the Diztronic cases for the extended battery look so classy o.O

White Gloss

Black Matte

I'll see how the Blue Matte one is and if I don't like it, I'll get the black one! :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DiamondJay20:
lets see them actually go on sale, because they were supposed to be available two days ago, and when they weren't, I just got the Zoogue. It really boggles me why Samsung didn't come out with a case of their own for it, or they'd prob be selling more of em.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aarontsuru:
sweet! pre-ordered the black.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Matrix_19:
It really sucks

without wifi I can get 5h + screen time.

You have a bad battery or you play games all the time or you have a draining app running in the background.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Kipp34:
2nd full day and it has been great. 2 hours on screen time, 17.5 hours uptime and I am still at 53%. This is with LTE and GPS on.

In regards to the diztronic cases, did they just start charging $7 for shipping? I don't recall this being the case when I bought a N4 case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Matrix_19:
Nice

That's better :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jmz768:
In case you didn't already know, the black Diztronic extended battery case is available for pre-order. The white and blue show as being sold out, but I think that actually means they haven't been opened up for pre-order yet. Up until a day or two ago, all colors were shown as being sold out.

I've had the standard Diztronic case since the beginning, and while it will fit the extended battery, it's very tight and not a proper fit. Just pre-ordered an extended case. They make great cases, so don't hesitate to buy if you're in the market for a case.

Here are the pictures for my first battery cycle (received battery, charged it to 100 and used it).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] t3chn0s1s:
They do look sweet! I've been stalking Diztronic's site for the past week.... I have a white SGS3 so a black case just wouldn't look right (at least to me). I can't wait until the clear can be pre-ordered. I already have a clear matte-back regular Diztronic TPU case and it does NOT fit right at all with the extended battery. I can confirm, however that my ZooGue case does. Guess I'm stuck with the ZG case for now.... it's not one of my favorites but at least my SGS3 is protected.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
Bad luck I guess, as my original diztronic fits so perfect that i will not be buying an extended case at all when released. It did take about a week to stretch however.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DiamondJay20:
yup, gave into temptation and ordered one too, because while the zoogue fits OK, its lip isn't big enough IMO, and because its a lil loose, if it falls and the screen cracks, :crying:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jmz768:
While mine has stopped slipping off the sides, the fit is far from perfect. The side buttons are not in the middle of the cutouts and never will be due to the way the case was forced to stretch. The rubber bumper around the screen edge is also flattened out considerably due to the stretching.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] droidiam:
I would love to see pics with the element case as I am really wanting one but not sure if it will fit.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
Mine are all centered? Weird.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] jmz768:
No, they said probably April 12th and as early as April 9th. The also said that even by April 12th isn't a guarantee since customs could hold them up.

This battery is awesome

Half Wifi and 4G

[Galaxy S III Accessories] iridaki:
I was looking at those cases but the problem is that clear TPU cases get an ugly yellowish tint over time, that gets worse and worse. Can anyone with a Diztronic clear case confirm or deny?

So far Casemate fits perfectly and it is a lovely case but if there were an alternative specifically made for the extended battery cover, I may consider it.

I have this battery for 2 weeks now and i still cant decide if i like it or not! The battery life is of course great but i dont like the looks of my phone now. I have the zoogue case which fits almost perfectly but it is too big now!

Anyone have tried any skins on the back, like slickwraps or anything similar?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] siani_8:
I guess the Draco bumper is hit or miss with this extended battery. I bought one after a review on Amazon said it fit. Then I went back and commented on the review that the Draco bumper was NOT a fit because another poster in this thread uploaded photos with this battery and the Draco bumper and there were large gaps. Well, I finally got mine delivered today and for me it ended up being a fit so I posted some photos.

I had to take my thick Armor Suit screen protector off. However, I'm using a Krussel leather case (the 5" - 5 1/2" inch screen size version for the Note 2) so I'm still protected at least from small drops and things in my pocket.

There are some small gaps on the backside but the front looks fine. I can live with this.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pyro224:
It will turn yellow and then the diztronic owner will say is your own fault for buying his product. That is what happened to me. I will not purchase any of his products again.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gapone:
Just buy the black one?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] iridaki:
I assumed so, since this is typical "behaviour" of silicone. Even colored silicone cases get the yellow tint, it's just doesn't look as bad as it does on clear cases. Thanks for confirming, I will certainly not be buying it, unless it comes in other matte opaque colours.

Some, including me, feel that the black case doesn't do a white phone justice. But it all comes down to personal preference, of course.

So after about a few full recharges. I am really loving this battery. It was well worth the $60 and wait time. Here's a couple of screen shots I took. This is what Samsung should've done in the first place.

Diztronic Matte Back Dark Blue Extended Battery TPU Case for GS3 Pre-Order now available, Ordered one for me :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] OneStepAhead:
We at Diztronic are on schedule to start shipping our TPU Cases designed around the official 3000 mAh battery. We plan on shipping Matte Back Black cases to customers on April 12th. Matte Back Dark Blue (compliments pebble blue devices) , High Gloss Clear and Pink GlitterFlex cases early next week (April 15th - 17th ETA).

I've been using the battery for a few weeks now and can now go several days without charging my phone. I'm not a very heavy user though, so some may only get 1 full day out of it. I can't imagine anyone could burn through this battery in less than 24 hours though unless you run benchmark tests all day. I personally will only use official extended batteries, as 3rd party ones always come with a hideous battery door that near doubles the size of your phone. The OEM door is just slightly thicker, maybe 1.5mm. Our cases are 1.4mm, so combined you are adding very minimal thickness to your phone.

Has anyone found a place that is selling these in the USA at minimal markup? We have a lot of customers asking about where to obtain the batteries. I've been directing customers to expansys, but I don't know if they even have the battery in stock. If anyone does know of a place please PM me.

---------- Post added at 01:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 PM ----------

This is why we mention in the description that clear TPU will change color, to let customers know in advance of purchasing. We continue to offer clear, but now only in a high gloss finish, as it lasts longer than the matte back clear did. We also sell them a few dollars cheaper than the other colors.

I know some of you have been upset about clear color changing, and I've thought long and hard about not selling clear TPU at all. The fact remains that there is a demand for it, including from myself. Our clear TPU is no different than any other on the market in regards to yellowing, they all do it. All we can do is what we have always done, let customers know up front so they can make the decision to buy clear TPU or not.

---------- Post added at 01:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 PM ----------

All clear/translucent TPU will yellow, ours is no exception unfortunately. Most clear soft plastics exhibit this trait. We are now only offering clear in a high gloss finish, as our previous matte finish clear cases faced two issues. They would yellow as expected, but they also would be very difficult to clean because of the matte finish. Our high gloss cases fix the later issue, but unfortunately don't improve upon the former issue by much. I would expect them to be fairly yellow around the 3 month point, but it could be sooner or later. How much UV light it's exposed to is the biggest factor. We do list in the product description:

Please Note: Translucent TPU will yellow over time when exposed to UV light. It may also pick up clothing dye, such as blue from your jeans pocket. Our clear TPU cases are priced lower as they will need to be replaced more often than our darker colored cases. Diztronic does not replace cases due to discoloring.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] iridaki:
Personally, I have not been upset about the color changing as it is something that has nothing to do with the sellers of such cases. I know that it's a material-related trait, so nothing can be done about it. It is noble of you to actually mention it in the description, shows respect to the buyer.

So, my question is, do you have any plans for opaque cases of other colors (like the Black Matte case), such as pink or purple?

I do realise that there has to be a certain demand for them in order to provide them, but I thought I should ask if you are considering it at least.

If anyone is still looking for a 3000mAh battery, I'm selling mine: http://celltraderonline.com/showthread.php?t=3679#.UWeRALU3uSo

I purchased it for a review, and I don't have a GS3. I used it for 2 or 3 days, so it's basically brand new.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nm8:
This is great news, but do you have a reseller in UK? Also I would still want the white matte case. Also may I take this chance to ask if you can look into making bumper cases for extended batteries as well please...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] OneStepAhead:
Matte Back Black arrived minutes ago and we will ship out all pre-orders today. The other 3 colors are on track for a Monday arrival, so we should be able to ship those before the April 17th date mentioned on the product page.

For those that have used our Nexus 4, iPhone 5, Maxx HD, Optimus G, Z10 and Razr M cases: you may of noticed an injection molding mark on one of the 4 corners. Unfortunately this mark is unavoidable and must be somewhere on the outside of the case. All TPU case have this mark (usually on the top or bottom), although it is harder to see on a gloss finish case. It's most noticeable on our matte back cases. For the HTC One and Galaxy S III Extended Battery Cases we have tried something new. The injection molding mark will now be on the bottom of the case on the edge of the microUSB cutout. This location will not come in contact with your hand, a compliant we had received from some customers of previous models.

I just want to thank everyone for telling their stories on where they purchased this battery. Based on them, I just purchased mine from mobilefun with the $18 expedited shipping. It says it'll ship out on 4/15 so hopefully it takes less than 8 days even though I'm in Texas. We'll see! Total came out to ~$69, where as on amazon it was $62 with standard shipping and a month for estimated shipping time. I figured an extra $7 for not having to wait until May was worth it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tongphan:
i ordered from them too and pay $18 expedited shipping , it took 3 days get to CA
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Rams99:
That's what I should've done. I just did the standard shipping and it took 9 business days to get here. I didn't mind the wait.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nm8:
We are a little lucky here in UK with the price. Bought mine for £26+ ($40) with free delivery and it arrived in 3 days. But the Diztronic case I had to order from US and paid around $7 for shipping.

I'm glad you asked, as someone was sarcastic earlier like I was lying...

It's called Invero Hard Plastic Bumper case from amazon UK - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Invero-Plas...959682&sr=8-12&keywords=s3+invero+bumper+case

The outer lip of the case is like hard silicon, while the middle part is plastic.

I need to make the holes bigger for the mic cutouts so they are exposed. Otherwise everything is aligned including the volume and power buttons.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Adelaide.:
I think the sarcasm was because you made a point of saying it doesn't protect the back. It is a bumper, it kind of goes without saying it doesn't have back protection...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nm8:
perhaps I could have been clearer... because with normal phone with bumpers, when you put the phone on its back, the actual back does not get scratched just like the front because of the LIP of the bumper. But with an extended battery, the back gets really exposed and it is the first thing that will touch the surface.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 713King:
how would you guys compare this battery to ZeroLemon 2300 mah battery which has proven to last.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mr.Mischief:
This stock battery is 700mah larger, so it'll last quite a bit longer.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] OneStepAhead:
I wish we could do that, but there was a huge rate increase on Jan 27th by USPS. Our actual cost for shipping 1 case to the UK is $6.58 I believe. This is almost double what it was prior to the rate increase. We don't usually wholesale our products, but I am considering reaching out to one UK retailer and seeing if they'd like to stock our extended battery cases. I'll post in this thread if anything comes of it.

The ZooGue case is on sale now. At $0.99 + S&H it's a steal, I think.

Got the diztronic matte black in today. Very nice! Good coverage, lip was a little bigger than I expected, but it's nice and will help protect the screen. The back is smooth and matte. Prime for some stickers. ;)

[Galaxy S III Accessories] nm8:
Many thanks for the pics, can't wait for my blu diztronic to come...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jmz768:
Yeah, this new Diztronic case is great. The edge over the screen is larger, meaning better protection and possibly less interference with screen protectors. Also, the buttons are covered instead of having cutouts. So much of an improvement over their standard battery case, and that one was pretty dang good.

If you're using the standard case with the extended battery, you have no idea what you're missing. Get this case, it fits perfectly.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] schneid:
+1 Very nice. Snug fit. Well made. Worth every penny!

My blue has shipped too! bought the black as i thought blue was iwishware,.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aarontsuru:
me too, since diztronic told me they weren't making it, then they did. May still order the blue, as I think it would look better with the white phone, but what I wouldn't give for a matte white. I love the scuffed indigo on the white covers from my jeans and love matte white on white phone look.

Or a black/white matte two tone thing. Oh well. Beggars can't be choosers and now the phone's protected (though running naked was fun while it lasted).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] OneStepAhead:
Are people really using the standard case with the extended battery? How are they doing it, just removing the battery door? We've made some improvements to our design since the original S3 release for sure, glad they haven't gone without notice! I personally didn't like the button cutouts on the standard case, made for too loose of a fit.

Im using our clear extended battery case on my white phone and am very happy with it so far. I initially thought the rear camera holes were slightly off on the clear case, as they appear to be a mm or so low. I now think its an optical illusion, as If I look at the phone upside down they appear perfectly centered.

---------- Post added at 08:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 AM ----------

I agree the blue looks much better on the white phone than the black case. The glossy black lip bothers me when it's next to glossy white, the blue not so much. I've thought about doing a two tone case, but we'd have to fuse the two colors together somehow, just not sure how durable it would be. We've never tried matte white, but I assume it would end up with a similar fate as matte clear. I think you are one of the few that likes the blue dye transferred look :) If we did matte white it would probably be on a hard shell case instead.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] schneid:
That's what I did

"Are people really using the standard case with the extended battery? How are they doing it, just removing the battery door?"

I removed my back and cut a rectangular hole for the battery to fit through the soft bumper liner to my Seidio ACTIVE case. I also fabbed an outer surround out of thin filter material to bulk up the surrounding edges. Snapped on the hard shell and could not tell. Also added a filler piece with three holes to seal the camera holes.

Was a great TEMPORARY solution. NO comparison to the Diztronic which is outstanding in every way. Only complaint I have is the label. I am not a label guy. But at least it doesn't have a gigantic "UAG" in bold letters on it. And you can buy to to three Dizzy's to every Seidio.

Did I say these these cases are PERFECT?

Oh. I use a Seidio belt clip holster. Dizzy case fit a little loose. A couple of those little felt furniture protectors shimmed it nicely.

Blue coming Friday. Hope they add more colors and textures so I can buy more.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aarontsuru:
Yeah, I figured I'm in the minority on the white matte with denim "aged" effect... ;)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nm8:
I also would like a transparent matte, and I also like the colors it picks up...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] therebel88:
Just ordered my battery from Mobilfun...can't wait to see the results.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jmz768:
Yes, the case will fit, but it's very tight and doesn't fit all that well. It would often roll off the sides of the phone and the buttons are not centered in the cutouts due to the stretching it has to do. The case does stretch a bit, but even then, it would still roll off the sides once in a while.

The new case is such a huge improvement, not just for being the right size, but I also love the enclosed buttons and larger bumper around the screen as well. I also like how you went with a gloss finish around the edge.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TigerCourage:
