Hello. I would like to know if i can use this 3000 battery with the original back cover ? Thanks !
[Galaxy S III Accessories] iSilens:
No, you can't.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ev0d3vil:
It comes with a special back cover for it...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gxg10:
This means it will make the phone thicker am i right ?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bigoliver:
You are right.

You can find a comparison video on YouTube if you want to see how it looks.

after a couple months of using the zoogue, I wish it was not so slippery. it's slid off my pinky finger on the bottom quite a few times. I really miss the material of my incipio silicrylic case I had before.

can anyone who has used the zoogue recommend a more grippy case that fits this thing?

on the plus side, the zoogue has a narrower lip on the front, which is really nice. it's also never fallen off or anything and it's protected perfectly in couple small drops, one being face first onto the top of a toilet lid.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] spicydicy:
Have you tried the diztronic? The fit us great, and the matte surface is grippy enough for me.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] accrews2001:
Is it the same matte finish as the original? If it is, zoogue it's much less slick.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] dennygreen:
nope. haven't tried it. I wish I could try it before I buy it. I have way too many cases already.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Jikul:
Is the Diztronic the only compatible case with the extended battery?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] accrews2001:
No, I think zoogoo fits perfectly with the extended battery and it's what I'm using now. I think zoogoo is also better than the original diztronic matte case because zoogoo has ridges on the sides so I can hold onto it better. I've no idea if the extended diztronic is as slippery as the regular size cases though.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] jmz768:
People are using other cases and have been able to get them to stretch a little to kind of fit, but the Diztronic is the only one designed specifically for the extended battery and the only one that fits perfectly.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ev0d3vil:
I just ordered the diztronic and they shipped! Hopefully they arrive fast as I'm using it without a case now :(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fableevoke:
Do this one fits with uag case?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Slackflash:
Very good battery IMO

i love it
[Galaxy S III Accessories] digitalpirate:
Does the extended back from the 3000mah battery hold the original battery in securely enough without switching to the original back covers?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ev0d3vil:
Second that too. Half hour of screen time only drains 10 percent of your battery..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bigoliver:
Not tried it but, No the back would be too big to hold it securely. I guess you could try to pad it out a bit, but if you do, obviously be careful and don't use flammable padding :D

I received the battery 2 days ago, put on my old Diztronic on it, no stretch needed, it fits just right!

Apparently the new "extended version" of the Diztronic case comes with protection for the volume rocker and the power button which I do not like. I'm happy with the old regular case with cutouts for these buttons!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] accrews2001:
Your case must've been a lot looser than mine then, because I tried to do that. The sides continuously slipped off and didn't seem to cover the front side as well (i.e. I could see the edges of the screen.)

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dennygreen:
A while back, I used the extended cover with the original battery for 2-3 days with no problems.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] digitalpirate:
The reason I ask is because I have a couple extra stock batteries Laying around. It would be a hassle to carry a second back cover.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jmz768:
The only way it fit just right is if you have a defective case to begin with. The case is way too tight for the extended battery.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fendergrab:
I find a Chipotle napkin works perfectly to fill the void between the extended back and the stock size batteries. :D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
Had the battery as early as anyone, about 3 months now. It was awesome at first, but now has gotten considerably worse. I would say it is on par with the stock battery at this point. It averages 3hrs screen time and 16 hour uptime per day. Pretty disappointed.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ev0d3vil:
Perhaps something is draining your batt? Where is yours made? I assume Korea?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ev0d3vil:
Besides you got 6 months of warranty if I'm not wrong. Go have a 1-1 replacement if its not giving you the right amount of time..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Matrix_19:
I got it 3 months ago

And mine is still like new

Hi guys got this battery yesterday it had 60 percent battery when it arrived so I used it down to zero and 9 hours later its still charging and only at 78 percent using ipad plug with 10v with USB cable to official samsung dock, is it normal to take this long to charge? Or because its new? Original battery charged fully in 4 hours.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ev0d3vil:
Check your samsung cable, it seems to have an issue with mine too. I'm using a generic cable now, charges great.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mr.Mischief:
Good for you. Those of us who have been in the cellphone industry for a while now have almost always heard HSPA+ referred to as "4G". T-Mobile is mostly to blame for this because I believe they were the first carrier to call their DC HSPA+ network "4G".
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bigoliver:
Maybe its a regional thing, I'm based in the UK, North England. I and my colleges always referred to HSPA+ as HSPA or 3g+ which I will probably find out now was also incorrect :o

It would be interesting to see there are any old adverts from any countries advertising 4g rather than HSPA+ I don't think it happened here in the UK.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] aarontsuru:
Got mine early too. Runs like new. Most 4GLTE, except at home I use wifi. The only thing that brings the battery down more nowadays is that I'm more likely to try new apps or run them longer because I have this battery! Even then I have a hard time getting too deep under 50%.

=)

Very happy. Wouldn't mind some super thin case options, but otherwise. I'm solid gold!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] galexandr:
Do you know if I can do the same with regular smoked tpu case? A buddy of mine gave me his smoked tpu and I want to see if I can stretch it to fit on extended battery.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bigoliver:
Worth a try, tpu cases are pretty cheap so no big loss if it don't work. Just heat it up and stretch it onto you phone, let us know if it works :)

[Galaxy S III Accessories] galexandr:
Forum,

As mentioned before, love the battery, hate the size, i know i know it isn't much heavier, but not being able to use my 'slim' cases really bums me. Also, as mentioned before, a buddy of mine gave me his smoked TPU case. I asked the gentleman that mentioned he 'microwaved' his case if i could do it with mine, to which he replied TRY!!! So i did.

1. Microwave: I microwaved it but to no avail, it still did not fit.

2. Came home, went into my garage and 25 minutes later my case fit like a glove ( see images). Tools i used:

Heat gun

Angled needle nose pliers

TPU case

Towel to cover your hand

Bottle of water (to keep yourself cool and pour over the case after its done

Directions: Lai the heat gun on the word bench so not to hold in your hand. Cover your hand with towel and grab hold of the case with your fingers. Grab the Angled Need Nose Pliers and pull on the lip of the tpu case, meanwhile hold the case close to the heat gun. Repeat above steps over and over until desired success is reach. Gently cut out the part for Power Button, otherwise it presses against the phone and keeps turning it off or on.

I cant say its perfect, but its good for tonight, will probably go back and do it some more in some parts, just to make sure it doesnt slip easily.

PS. please, if you end up messing up your case, im not responsible.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Slomies:
Interesting... I guess I don't use my S3 enough since I'm not burning through the stock battery in a day :P
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bigoliver:
Glad you managed to stretch your case, I might cut my power button out too,plus the volume buttons, they don't work well since the microwave :)

I live in the UK and stretching a TPU case is the only option here without paying for a case from the USA and then paying shipping costs on top.

I've been running the MC3 Sprint port lately with this battery and i must say, wow! Yesterday i got 20 hours off the charger with 5.5 hours screen time, all on radio, no Wi-Fi. I'm sold!

Also, I followed a tip from this forum somewhere about using an otterbox commuter case with this battery, and it works very well. Cut around the battery using the stock back cover. Then cut the silicon in the same manner. Ends up being smooth across the back. Then just snap on the shell, fits perfectly. Then you have a phone the same size as with the stock battery.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] boo85:
Spigen case also fits!

I would just like to add that I am using a spigen case with the official extended s3 battery. It fits very well with all the holes and button placements in the correct positions. Might be an possible option to consider besides the diztronic case.

Here is a link from a Singapore online market:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] dennygreen:
weird. you got that to fit?

I have one, but when I got the extended battery it looked like it wouldn't fit so I didn't force it on. didn't want to break anything.

Hmm that link didn't work
[Galaxy S III Accessories] the_agima:
I've looked but didnt see that answered.

Can you use this battery with an UAG case, I guess by either cutting or removing the battery door?

[Galaxy S III Accessories] threshold350:
The UAG case does fit without the door. I'm not sure if it's because of the battery or not, but my UAG has cracked where the battery is. Not sure if it's due to the extra bulge or I just got a bad case. There have been reports of UAG cases cracking. My original UAG case I had did not crack but I gave away.

Does anyone know if the unofficial leather flip cases fit with the extended battery on? Has anyone tried?

I live in the UK and I'm really struggling to find a good solution. Also I dropped my phone last week smashing my screen :( costing me my 50 pounds excess on insurance :( I did have a screen protector and modified s line case on my phone, but it still smashed to pieces after falling about 2 foot. I hope a leather case will give better protection.

Got the battery last week. I am in a low signal area at work. So battery has lacked. I tried the zero lemon 7000. Too big and obnoxious to carry daily my opinion. So far I can get 15-17 hrs. About 2 hrs screen time, and still have about 30-40% left.

I co worker has a s3 and he didn't even realize by looks that I had the extended battery.

Definitely a great purchase, could be cheaper though.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BlueMeany68:
Nope, the back cover that came with the extended battery gave just enough to get the wireless pad located. There is a minute bit of movement in the case in the top right hand corner, but this may have been there before. It is a very tight fit, and it shows no sign of 'popping off' but that is why I wanted the case. Wireless charger works through the case aswell. Got the pad and plate from fonesalesman on fl-eabay, basically coz the white plate has £10 off.

Just my luck... Last week I ordered the Samsung 3000 mah battery and diztronic case. I have had the s3 since the first of the year. It fits nice and is charging as I type. But the best part. I dropped it yesterday, and cracked the screen. Its not horrible so i think I will be able to replace it myself. Anyone have any experience replacing screens w/o digitizer?

Also are there any recommendations on charging it the first few times? Full charge to 0% a few times?
