did you ask them how long shipping takes? if it has shipped already i can't imagine any way for it to take 30 days to arrive, unless they strapped it to a whale's back or something.

Did you get yours? Just got an email saying mine is delayed. :(

Who knows? They might be using the Mayflower. They are sticking to the date. Strange as Hong Kong stuff comes in 7-10 days.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
i just know amazon has a habit of understating their delivery dates; they usually get there much faster.

mine shipped today from mobilefun from the UK. not sure why these things are only physically located in Europe, but just glad it shipped.

---------- Post added at 12:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 AM ----------

like leaving the battery exposed and just having a case over the whole thing?

i thought doing the bumper case plus maybe buying a sheet of military shield and form fitting it to the back would provide substantial protection.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] proper69:
If I get one I'm modifying the stock back plate. Basically just cut it to expose the battery then put on my tpu case. I'm hoping that will work

yesterday was with me

first impression:

Almost invisible increase in thickness . . . but enought to make the 3

shell I have useless

original samsung gel style no good
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SUNUN:
any pics plss :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] runaway64:
Bought mine through mobilefun.es, shipped yesterday from Great Britain and delivered today in Spain.

They only had blue in stock, they do not know when they will have white too.

Another online shop, octilus has told me they are getting stock on thursday, in both white and blue.

The package comes with a handy plastic shell for the battery, I will use it to store the spare battery.

The phone feels thicker and specially heavier, I guess I am so used to its old weight and size I can distinguish it perfectly with the bigger battery.

Since the cover is very rounded, it does not feel as thick as it really is.

It does not draw attention if you would not know its original thickness.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SUNUN:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] onesolo:
What about time usage?!?! That's the most important!!!

How long can you have till it dies... and how long can screen last powered on?!?

Also, can anyone please tell me how much weight S3 gets with the new 3000maH batt ??

They are moving. Mine from SunnySaver/Amazon entered Her Majesty's Royal Mail yesterday.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aarontsuru:
rec'd & installed. Battery did not come fully charged, so no way to get a good grip of the battery life until at least a few days or a week of use. But, not having a case makes me nervous to do much with this battery except save it for travel/busy days.

I do like the weight & thickness the battery adds. It's a nice balance, in fact, a better balance then the stock GS3 or the crazy big batteries out there. Feels solid in my hands, like it's not going to go sliding out and it doesn't feel like it's pulling my damn pants down in my back pocket.

Very nice.

For now, I'll have to assume you get more battery life than stock. If you assume it's a given of equal quality, then this is just a bigger battery and should go longer with equal use.

Hope to find a case or bumper that fits so I can make this my everyday.

---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 AM ----------

thanks! just ordered. $10/free shipping, can't beat that! Looks like he really had to work it on there, but I'm guessing it's the more loosey tpu cases that will work (and of course, none of mine are loosey tpu cases).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] onesolo:
Still, no one can tell us how much this battery can hold on on average?!? thkx a lot guys... :(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
how do you know it fits the extended battery?

royal mail's status for mine as of yesterday morning: Your item, posted on 05/03/13 has been passed to the overseas postal service for delivery in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

no idea which service they are using now, or if it has passed through customs (assuming so), or when it will be delivered. here's hoping for today (doubtful).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] GideonX:
Here, let me link you directly to the exact start of when the guy in the video starts putting on the ZooGue case.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=qLWXZ0oqzxQ#t=31s
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
oh thanks. that's just a regular sized TPU case? then shouldn't ALL regular sized TPU cases fit? unless this one is magic TPU or something...

---------- Post added at 07:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 PM ----------

how many millimeters does it add in thickness? i just took 4 sheets of paper and folded them into a rectangle and stuck them in my current TPU case and tried to put it on the phone, and it went on with no issues. 4 sheets folded up equaled about 3 millimeters, so i'm betting any TPU case will stretch to fit this battery just fine. i've got the diztronic:

http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Fle...1362681786&sr=8-3&keywords=galaxy+s3+tpu+case

plus it looks like the guy in this video fit a TPU case over it pretty easily, then again his subtitles say that the TPU case didn't fit even though it looks like it did...so i don't know what to think.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Matrix_19:
8.6mm to 11.45
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
that's under 3, about what i just did with my paper experiment. expecting the diztronic to work just fine.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aarontsuru:
I think there are different types of flexibility between tpu cases? This one looks pretty stretchy and bendy. I can say the 3000mah does not fit in any of my stiffer tpu cases.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ascertion:
Hope my battery gets here soon from Sunny Savers via Amazon. Says it shipped yesterday but expected to arrive late March to early April. :s
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lak100:
caught the sucker amazon.uk the battery has 29 pounds with carriers and mobilefun 40 pounds without transport. what to say so much difference; appropriate battery for the S2 I'd get 33 eyro from mobilefun for these trusted and did preorders but now i will think if i shop again
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Smartie36:
My thoughts exactly, I'd never use cheap ass batteries in a phone that cost me £400! It just ain't worth the risk imo.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mr.Mischief:
Double the capacity, but half the quality. No thanks. It's also pretty bulky.

I have two of these official batteries sitting on my desk. Just waiting for my S3 to get here. I'll make a full video review with runtime and stuff.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
i put my phone in my pocket and with that battery it would look like i was carrying around a 250gb 5,600 RPM hard drive. you are crazy if you think everyone prefers that over a very slim design. what surprises me is that no aftermarket vendor has made a battery around 3000mah with a slimmer look yet.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] galexandr:
Thinking of ordering mine from Amazon, i live in USA,

Any word of successful shipment? and the wait?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
why has no one responded with battery life information yet? several people have these.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SUNUN:
this link from ebay :) i ordered it and waiting now, but i live in Armenia :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Smartie36:
Well I would have thought it would add quite a bit of extra runtime, I know when I got the extended battery for my s2, it made a big difference and that was only 350mah extra, this one adds an extra 900!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Matrix_19:

The little I've used it so far, the battery seems to drain very similarly to the stock battery. It's going to take time to get a good read on it.

Amazon can buy in bulk. Mobile fun has a much smaller customer base than amazon and has to pay more for their units than amazon does.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ryanscobberwash:
i have the extended battery and tbh i havent really looked at the battery life in the settings but last night i went to sleep at 2am with 40% battery and oke up at 11am and the battery was still on 40% hahahaa so it must be pretty decent. thats also with wifi, mobile data, gps, auto sync fb signed in weather updating every hour and everything so allot of background tasks. i thought that was pretty decent to be honest :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
I also paid $10 more through mobile fun. Not much I can do about it now though.

And btw amazon does not sell this unit, they fulfill a sale through a third party vendor that doesn't have to deal with whiny customers, hence the discount.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Alfi91:
Been using it for 4 days now. Battery is 15 percent and screen on time is 6 hours 12 minutes with 1 day and 1 hour of total use. 38% screen time. Amazing. Running at 1.6 GHz but slightly undervolted perseus kernel and neat ROM 4.1.2 mr2
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aarontsuru:
when I first connected it, it was at 52%, I ran it for about 4 hours, got down to 48% with email, text, instagram, some light browsing. Plugged it in the usb at work, got it to 85%, unplugged it to listen to music and work. Since then, mostly texts, camera, email, tumblr, instagram, more music, and at the moment it's at 70% and it's been what, 6 hours? Mostly 4G LTE, only wifi when I got home about 2 hours ago.

Now, I run stock with nova, all the s-crap is turned off and I keep my brightness pretty low.

And, again, the big plus... the phone doesn't feel thin and cheap, it now has a little more body and a good weight (not heavy, just feels quality). Running it naked, looking forward to getting that ZoeGoe skin.

THIS is the battery I've been looking for!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DonHuan:
Guys, who ordered ZooGue, did you use a discount code? I've tried several, but none of them worked.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
Go through the checkout process without paying, wait about 48 hours and they will email you a coupon code of 20% off. I just found this out this morning. In fact the code they gave me was 1 had tried that didn't work previously. I guess they have to apply it for you.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CFoote:
Same here. Since it was only $10 I wasn't going to sweat it.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mr.Mischief:
So far, it looks like this battery will last 6.5(screen on time) hours on WiFi.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] welshbloke70:
Anyone know what those inserts are at the top left and bottom right?

They are glued in there quite well.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zaqq1:
well actually its 3.5 times the power at double the thickness

(7000 mah vs 2100 mah)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] htcsnap93:
It does not actually give 7000 mAH or did you measure it for yourself?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aarontsuru:
Okay, unplugged with a full charge around 8am yesterday. Light internetting (tumblr, flipboard, reader) and texting. Friends came to town, first time to NYC, so lots of subways (i.e. bad service), lots of photos, lots of busy touristy areas (i.e., again, bad service, for example 1x-3G in times square) and lots of texting. Also, went out to dinner and drinks with a group, took tons of photos and instagrammed everything. All this plus throughout the day I used maps, email, subway apps, played my favourite puzzle game 7x7, etc, etc.

You get the idea. A pretty good day with lots of phone action.

Got home at 1am, drunk, forgot to plug the phone in. Woke up for a few minutes this morning, realized it wasn't plugged in when I checked the time. Took a quick screen shot, plugged it in and went back to bed.

So, with all of that, after 24 hours, here's the status of my battery (see attached). 50% to go. Not too shabby dabby, eh?

:highfive:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
How would your stock battery have fared do you think?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Smartie36:
6.5, that's rubbish if true, from a full charge I can get 6 hours on screen time with the default battery, that's browsing over wifi .
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Wond3r:
screenshot please?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Hulk0069:
Yes screenShot of your stock battery with 6hrs of on screen time.

stripped apart rebuilt with Clean Rom&XdaTechnology!!!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CFoote:
Is this stock Samsung JB?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Matrix_19:
I'm on stock and with the standard battery, I can get around 3 or 3.5 hours screen time on hspa+

On WIFI, it's between 4.5 to 5 hours.

2100 vs 3000mah = +43%

4.5 + 43% = 6.4 hours.

so 6.5 hours screentime on WIFI makes sense for me

and if, with the new battery (I should get it monday) I'm on hspa+ all the day and I can reach almost 5 hours screen time, I will be very happy !

You say that with your extraordinary setup and 2100 battery, you can get 6 hours screentime, then maybe the new 3000mah you would get 8.5 hours.

Not sure... probably would've made it, maybe woke up to a near dead battery. There's a "peace of mind" aspect to this battery. I really didn't think about conserving my use, knowing I had a full long day ahead of me, with this battery.

Yes. Not rooted, running everything stock with JB and nova launcher.

I used it last night. No issues in a dark bar. Here's one:

Only $3 usd more than amazon here, but i elected to pay for tracked shipping worth $7 more. Guess what? No tracking available, I even called them out on it and they just said sorry. I am demanding a refund on the extra shipping charges.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mr.Mischief:
Includes 45 minutes of Pandora and browsing on 3G.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Smartie36:
You asked for a pic, you've got a pic!

Bet you thought I was lying didn't you :p

I'm expecting to see a nice increase in on screen time when my extended battery arrives, considering I can get 6 hours with the stock battery!

Oh forget to add, running 4.1.2 stock (mb5)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] crx4xharder:
Hahaha can't believe you actually left your even on for 6 hrs lol
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mr.Mischief:
For all we know, you left it on a dark webpage for 6 hours:p
[Galaxy S III Accessories] iridaki:
I just received mine today.

Installed it on the phone, turned it on and the meter says 61%. As I always do with new batteries, I am going to use the phone normally and let it drain, then charge to 100% and so on.

The phone certainly feels heavier but it's not too bad. It still fits on a generic soft silicone case I had gotten for a few cents off of eBay so that's a relief! I believe that all soft silicone cases should fit just fine as they have more room to be spared on the sides, unlike the TPU and other hard cases.

The extra thickness is also minimal, the phone still looks gorgeous, imho.

I can't comment on the pricing or shipping time as it were a gift and I don't know where it was purchased from.

Normally my battery lasts around 15-20 hours with 2-4 hours screen on time, WiFi, autosync etc. I don't play games or listen to music, I use the phone mainly for communication and browsing.

I have a soft spot for extended batteries, let alone original ones, so I hope this one doesn't disappoint! I'll let you guys know in a few days! :)

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Smartie36:
Whatever, why the hell would I waste my time doing that just to fake a 6 hour on screen time pic and post it on here!!??

That's how long my battery lasts when I'm constantly browsing the Internet, just because others can't reach that amount of onscreen time with the default battery doesn't mean others can't!

So I'm expecting a good couple of hours extra onscreen time when my extended battery arrives.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lak100:
amazon.uk sells 36,50 euros with shipping and mobilefun 54,50 with shipping to Greece

[Galaxy S III Accessories] djakereur:
Hi,

I didn't get 6hours of screen time but close using stock battery too, rooted with stock tw.

Most of my day I was using wifi, texted a lot, music, browsing, but no gps, Bluetooth or NFC.

It basically is my daily use.

I can't wait to get this 3000mah, battery life will be stellar.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Smartie36:
Exactly mate, it's quite easy to get 6 hours or close to it onscreen time with stock battery, just because some others can't though they don't believe when someone posts a pic to prove it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Matrix_19:
Yeah It's easy... on Wifi only
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Smartie36:
Which is what I said I was doing when I made the claim of achieving 6h screen time, browsing over wifi, so I post a pic up to prove it and someone says I left my browser on a dark page for 6 hours, yeah whatever lol
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jgaf:
It is easy if you just start using the screen time right after charging without stopping. The average person doesn't use the phone for that extended time in one sitting. Normally one would have would have the phone with screen off longer than with screen on. Best battery I've gotten with stock battery is about a day and a half with 3.5hrs screen time.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mr.Mischief:
Because this is the internet and people do stupid things on/for the internet.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
how much did you pay if you don't mind me asking? i see it on amazon.de for $40 USD free shipping which is so much better than anywhere else. and i think you were the first person in the US to get it, too.

i see amazon.com (US) has since gone up in price to about $62 including shipping. mobilefun is $58 for basic shipping or $65 to get expedited shipping, which they say goes through customs much quicker than regular shipping. we'll see.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mr.Mischief:
Note that I had GPS on, Google Now on, and I used it on 3G for 45 minutes(plus Pandora streaming later in the evening). It has been running for over 24 hours (I didnt sit there and use it until it died).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aarontsuru:
Well, whatever he got with 100% screen on, he'll get more with the new battery. That's just maths!!!

Great review!

While I was reading it, I found myself constantly nodding. I felt exactly what you said about the battery paranoia! I'm exactly the same way. It's not that my phones battery had ever "betrayed" me, but the uncertainty is always there.

Guys did you saw the news today?!?

http://pocketnow.com/2013/03/12/chi...attery?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook

The new galaxy duos for China (GT9502) has a 2600mah.

I've been looking to the photos and the battery almost resemble in terms of dimensions to the one that cames with our S3.

As we know some batteries can work in several devices in Samsung... as they have the same dimensions...

If this is true, it would be great to have a 2600mah in our S3 instead of a bulkier batt and no need to replace any covers, pouchs, etc...

I think I rather have this one than the 3000mah
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CFoote:
That battery appears to have some sort of a 'ridge' at the top of it, I don't think that will fit any GS3....

Chris
[Galaxy S III Accessories] onesolo:
if you look it right, on our batts, if you turn upside down the information sticker, it looks exactly the same on that one...
