Exactly, thank you! :highfive:

When you used to end your day with x amount left in your battery, being able to reach at the same point of the day with 2x left, is 100% increase.

Meaning that normally, you should be ending your day with around 42% more than usual, so that would be around 21% battery percentage. So all in all, if you have 30% at the end of the day, you are getting the best possible out of your battery and then same. ;)

They double charged my credit card for the order. I was more worried about getting that fixed than arguing about the shipping. They did refund it quickly, but they tried to blame me for placing 2 orders. Even though both charges showed up with the exact same order number, and I only received one confirmation e-mail.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
you guys are saying like 8 different things. yes, the number 15 is 50% of 30. i do not disagree with that. but we aren't talking about the NUMBERS 15 and 30, we are talking about the PERCENTAGES 15 and 30, and percentages are always in a spectrum of 0-100%. so a 15 point difference is always only 15%, nevermind that the NUMBER 15 is half of 30.

also, if you are trying to say that at any point during a charge the stock battery should be 42% lower than the extended battery, you are wrong.

in terms of the stock battery, a 42% increase on the extended battery means the extended battery has a spectrum of 0-142%. since we know the batteries have the same discharge rate and size is their only difference, then that should mean that at any charge level the stock battery is always 42 points lower than the extended battery. if the extended battery is at 50%, your stock battery should be at 8%, not 50/1.42 = 35%.

that being said, the difference between 15% stock and 30% extended is 15%, and in terms of the stock battery it is 15%/142% or 10.6%. 10.6% is not 50%, 100%, or 42%.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mr.Mischief:
Yet he can't even keep track of the number of arguments:p;)

All I stated was 30% of a charge is 100% more than 15% of a charge. Unless you were trying to impress people with your 10th grade level math skills, your post doesn't have a point.

Anyone in Canada order this battery and if they did which site was reliable?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] schneid:
Got mine from Sunny Savers UK through Amazon. Shipped the 6th arrived the 14th. The new back cover is very nice. For now, I am using no cover. My Seidio ACTIVE case fits pretty well by leaving the cover off completely

hi guys, I really want to buy this extended battery but it would be really nice to know which cases will fit. I don't want to use mt phone naked... as I tend to drop things...

so mplease tell us which case you use with it...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mr.Mischief:
The ZooGue Social case is said to fit.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] GideonX:
Read backwards, you'll see a slew of people posting case fitment results.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] omeryounos:
I received it.two days ago. Battery life is superb even after one charge. But I don't like the extra weight it adds to the phone.

Thinking of not keeping it. Pm if anybody interested. I'm in Netherlands.

thanks I just placed an order for this on their site. I hope to receive it soon in the mail! :)

Has anyone tried this? I checked the codes against my s3 battery and they are the same .....
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Jikul:
It looks bigger to me. Look how it occupies the S4 almost from edge to edge. The battery in the S3 is more to the side. And since the phones are pretty much the same size, I think the S4 battery is bigger (wider), and will not find.

Someone prove me wrong.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nm8:
are you trying to say it is the same battery as the new S4? if that's the case then it will definitely not fit the S3...

The item shipped on 4 march but still a don't receive the item :(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Matrix_19:
My tests are over :)

So... on 4G (hpsa+) all the day I have 5.5 hours screen time with 15 hours total usage. (I had 3h with the old battery)

On Wifi almost all the day (with 24h total usage) I can get 7 hours screen time (I had 4.5h before)

In both situation, it's 2.5hours more screen time

Nice :)

[Galaxy S III Accessories] onesolo:
I don't feel that cause I think it's the same size... cause S4 has pratically the same size that S3 (it's a tad larger although)...

I don't think this is a coincidence... cause in sammy history this is recurrent... some batts can fit in several devices...

Hope that someone could confirm this...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nm8:
I just ordered this extended battery anyway, along with a brown samsung flip case. I am hoping the flip case can accommodate the slightly thicker battery becasue it looks thicker than the ordinary back cover.

---------- Post added at 12:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 AM ----------

I just reexamined the picture again, and that battery looks wider than the S3's battery... look at the word SAMSUNG... on the pic, there is a wide gap between the "G" and the side of the battery....
[Galaxy S III Accessories] onesolo:
damn it... you are right :(

On the S3, there is some room left on one of the space margins... on the S4 the space margins of the battery are equal thinner
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bb4arson:
Hello guys and girls I just received my battery today and can I say I love it.

As many have said before the battery feels great in the hands.

Also I have some great new for some of you people who are looking for a case. The trident kraken case fits on the battery with out the back plate and it fits perfectly might I say. Only down side is that the camera and the flash would be fully exposed.

I will be posting videos probably tomorrow when I have time.

And later on after I get a good 3 cycles out of the battery I will let you know how good the battery life is.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jgaf:
Anyone tried the battery with a ballistic case? Also, would you say the phone gets less hot with this new battery?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bb4arson:

taken in my gfs room lol so don't mind the background

[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
just wanted to drop in and say that my diztronic case--after about 5 days of use--has adjusted to the new size rather well. now all of the cutouts line up nearly perfectly (the mics are a little off, but still visible and perfectly audible on calls) and the sides very rarely slip off too. quite honestly at this juncture i will not be buying a new extended case, unless of course the case just looks cool and i want to try something new. pictures to follow.

---------- Post added at 04:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

---------- Post added at 04:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

example of how case can slip off the front ridges occasionally, however this is easily fixable with 1-2 fingers by just pushing it back on the ridge. this happened a few times daily when i first got the phone, now it happens maybe 1-2 times a day.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SUNUN:
Diztronic is going to release new cases for extended battery it will be available in forts week of April, info from their web site.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Bstin:
Hey I am thinking about purchasing one of these for my s3.

Mobilefun says the black back version will be ready in a week and I was wondering how that would look on a white s3. Basically I am going back and forth wondering if I should get the black version or the white version. I can't make up my mind haha.

Also I was wondering if you think one of these could fit or be modified to fit with the extended battery backplate for wireless charging:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] AndroidFanNetwork:
Personally, I'd go with the white one. The white on black might look a little strange, but then again, it might look cool.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] eddott:
I used one similar with my extended battery. No major modifying were neede, just a little bending on the edge. There is an angle from the two contact points on the phone to the top of the battery, so you have to make sure the charging unit stay connected with the two contact points, using tape or something. But the phone charged, even with my ZooGue case on. It was a bit slow, tho. Haven't tested it very much.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Bstin:
Yeah see? The white is the safe option and I know I will like it but the black could look awesome or not so much. I guess I'll just have to see for myself which one I want

Thanks! That helps out a lot. I was really wondering whether I should go for wireless charging or not.

Also how is the zoogue? I havent used a case on my s3 thus far and so far its been fine but I've been hearing a lot about the zoogue case. All i have on my phone right now is a skin on the backcover and an Armorsuit screen protector. I don't want to add too much bulk to it
[Galaxy S III Accessories] theguru1974:
diztronic

Those of you using the diztronic case - are you referring to the standard case designed for the stock battery or the new one made for the ext battery that is currently sold out on their site? And do you use the new battery door or leave it off?

Eric
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
The pics I just posted was of the standard and the back cover is on.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] eozen81:
Thanks to the all contributed here with comments, pics and videos.

As I am tired of getting suspicious If the phone will have enough battery for Friday evenings, I have ordered one from this seller on ebay. Hope to go to the bed at least %15-%20 s everyday.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Matrix_19:
I understand you!

I was tired to always care about the battery. And now I can do everything I want with the phone in the day and I never run out of juice. It's awesome :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] eddott:
Great value for money I think. Feels good, fits well (but not perfect) and gives some protection to the phone.

Bah I was waiting for a $50 gift card from Amazon, now that I have it sunny savers has upped their price to $79.95 T_T
[Galaxy S III Accessories] galexandr:
Got mine yesterday, i am very impressed with battery life, i did not charge it when it came. Did my basic email, text, news, email, watched a tv show streaming from my mac, this morning drove to work (50 minutes) with GPS on, and the battery still good, it is on red though.

I will say, that i dont like the extra weight, although i fits well in my ZooGue case, i dont like it, i want my Elago skin back, so may end up selling it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
may sell the battery or the case? honestly after about 3 days i completely forgot about the added weight/size. i couldn't psychologically recognize the difference.

had a long day on the battery yesterday, from 7am to 1am. it went through a round of golf with the GPS on and screen on full brightness for the entire 3 hour round, then later lots of data usage while i was at a restaurant alone. when i went to bed at 1am, it was at 15% with 16h on time and nearly 5 hours of screen time. that was a little too close for me on the usage, but the stock battery certainly wouldn't have made the whole day either.

also i am pretty much on LTE 100% of the time, which is sort of a battery zapper.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nm8:
Got mine today alongside an OEM flip case. They are not compatible. The battery is still too huge for my hand... thinking of returning it... but I'm not too sure...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SUNUN:
who know why all sellers changed price to high?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dennygreen:
wow. a lot of people are thinking of returning/selling it. that sucks. hope I'm not disappointed.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] galt:
Sounds like someone is living the bachelor life. Cheers to you, good sir! :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] galexandr:
I was referring to the battery. There is undeniable more life than on an original battery.

I am very pleased with performance, its just a personal preference, i dont like TPU cases, i love the skins (elago, etc)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
try mobilefun.com. they are still only at $51 plus like $10 shipping.

doesn't seem right...it's really not that much bulkier.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aarontsuru:
YES! I quit on the ZooGue when it kept slipping on the sides and messing with my screen protector. I'm running naked!!!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Matrix_19:
Yep I remember the first time noticing the new weight but 1 or 2 days and you forget the added weight and it feels very comfortable. However I wouldn't put a case on it. I like the feeling in the hands. It's just perfect.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dennygreen:
well, just got mine and stuck the zoogue on it. it feels a little fatter but I'm sure I'll get used to it.

I tried to put the silicrylic on it but the outside hard part wouldn't fit, like I expected.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pyro224:
Have you tried the silicrylic without the backplate ?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dennygreen:
I tried that and it doesn't really work either. it goes on but it looked really loose and the two pieces don't fit together at all. I wouldn't recommend it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
It's gonna be the same case. Mine seriously fits like a glove after a couple of days to stretch out. It's slipping off the sides even less now.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mr.Mischief:
2-3 people doesn't equal a lot.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ascertion:
My battery feels the same as my 2100 one. Maybe it's because I have been flashing new 3.4 kernel ROMs lately and I haven't been able to thoroughly test performance. Lol
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DiamondJay20:
so what cases will this fit? I really need to know....
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TigerCourage:
What 3.4 kernel roms??
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Rams99:
Just ordered mine from mobilefun.com and also my zoogue case to. From what I am reading it fits. Let's just see how long it takes to get here in the US. Can't wait to use it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ascertion:
Cm10.1, Carbon, etc. The kernel is fantastic! Just in its beta stages ATM.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] siani_8:
I searched through the thread and saw a few people mention wanting to try the UAG case with this battery by leaving the back cover off but I didn't see any follow up to that. Can anyone confirm whether or not this idea works?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dennygreen:
well, here's the results from my first work day after getting the battery yesterday and charging it over night. my usage is exactly the same everyday, give or take a few YouTubes. From the time it's off the charger in the morning , I'm either playing podcasts with doggcatcher or music with power amp.

Since July, I would end at 4:30 with 39% remaining at the very most (usually a little less) , no matter what kind of battery saving tricks I tried. Then it would be dead by around 10 even if I tried not to use it much.

with the extended battery I've turned off all the power saving stuff I was using and turned up the frequency of refresh intervals on a few apps. Not bad at all.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DiamondJay20:
OK so can someone please tell me the brand name and model of a case that fits, not simply to "buy it at a Sprint store" without the said info?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mr.Mischief:
Diztronic TPU case. Should be on amazon soon. It's specifically made to fit the S3 with the extended battery.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DiamondJay20:
I saw on Diztronic's website that they'll ship in April. Does the Zoogue Social case fit? If so, I'm gettin it
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mr.Mischief:
It fits for the most part, but it's pretty tight and slips off occasionally.

I'd personally wait for the Diztronic.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DiamondJay20:
What about a bumper instead? Which ones might work? I want the bezel and screen face protected at least from face drops
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mr.Mischief:
Since the extended battery makes it several millimeters thicker, I doubt any bumpers will fit.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Slomodrop:
I came here for the same thing.

Sprint GS3 LTE - The People's ROM 3.14 - KT747 - sent from xda premium
[Galaxy S III Accessories] schneid:
Maybe. it works for the Seidio ACTIVE case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dennygreen:
my zoogue seems to fit perfectly. everything lines up and works just like it did with the standard. I dunno if I could get it to slip off if I tried, removing it is actually pretty difficult.

I'm pleasantly surprised so far.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stkiswr:
I just ordered mine. Will report with avg screen times and usage after a few days of receiving it
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aarontsuru:
I asked Diztronic, they are only going to offer this in matte black & clear for the time being. Hope they do white or matte blue eventually!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] droidiam:
I wonder if one of the otterbox cases could work with the battery cover removed....
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mr.Mischief:
I don't think it will. The battery adds a few millimeters, while the battery cover is only 1or so.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Rams99:
Anyone know how long it takes for mobilefun.com to ship to California. I ordered my extended battery on Wednesday of last week. Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gilbequick:
My battery will be here in a few days. I'm using a Commuter. I'm going to cut the battery cover and the inside rubber and it should fit perfect, leaving the hard plastic covering everything up nice, safe and secure.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] invisiblebm:
Perfect combo for me. Wanam lite and 3000 mah extended battery. Data always on. Wi fi sometimes.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] eozen81:
My battery has arrived to me (ebay seller). I will examine it for a few days, hope those draining days will end now :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gigioz79:
A few days ago I made the necessary changes to the Otterbox Commuter.

I removed the genuine extended back-cover , I cut the rubber (first layer of Commuter) along the edge of the battery, gaining a few extra mm.

So it's okay! It fit perfect and all is safe!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aarontsuru:
I've tried 2 bumpers and so far no go.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] htcsnap93:
Spigen ones?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dennygreen:
I tried my spigen ultra bumper and it wouldn't fit.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] schneid:
Seidio Active Case Will Fit

I left off the pretty new back cover.

I cut out a patch of the inner liner that covered the battery.

I cut a small strip from that and cut three holes into it to seal the three lens holes.

I cut an inner liner from some thin black filter medium to bulk up the outer rim.

Shame I can't post photos here.

I had a gift card so I didn't pay anything for it.I would post some pics but I only have my phone as a camera so I can't take pics of it while in the case. I can tell you that you can tell there isn't a battery door on when you look at the camera cut outs
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stkiswr:
I must say after the first day of use with this battery I am floored. No case. 10hrs into my day and still 62%. 2 hrs screen time. 45 mins on tether to my xoom. 40 mins phone calls. No power save. All data sync on. All on 4g. Very very happy. No case makes it slim and very nice. Will give it a few days but wow I am happy. I am always 15% by now. Sometimes even charging. Wasn't beating it to death tho.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Matrix_19:
I agree....no case make it as slim as the old cover back + case

I find the battery very hard to kill in a day. I'm always in the 30 to 50% range when it's bed time . With the old one I had to charge at the end of the afternoon.

So no need to worry about all sync options.

50-60$ for a battery is a big step. But for this performance, it's a no brainer if you don't want to change your phone in the next 1 or 2 years
