I have been using my extended battery for a few days but I am extremely happy with that. I have also surprised with the ergonomy with the new cover because now it fits my hand better then the orjiginal cover so win-win :)

Here is a comparison graph between my st and extended battery usage. (Upper graphics for standard, bottom is extended) Attention on "screen on" duration :victory: and my usage on standard was not heavy while my usage for extended is pretty heavy.

Will this fit with a normal case?

[Galaxy S III Accessories] eozen81:
No. You can try Zoogue case. Check out previous pages.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
or the original diztronic. i posted pictures back a few pages. still working good, may not even get a new case when they come out.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] iridaki:
Case-mate Emerge Smooth also fits perfectly. It's made of a hard yet flexible silicone and it is truly amazing. The matte feel of the case gives it a good feel on the hand, buttons are easy to press and all the ports and holes are perfectly aligned. I'll post pictures later.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gapone:
So does it fit perfectly with battery door on?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] iridaki:
Yes! I wouldn't use the phone without the battery cover on, I'd be too worried about dust and whatnot.

Give me a second, I'll post photos. :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] iridaki:
UPDATE: After 24-hours of use, the case hasn't slipped on the side, not even once! As a matter of fact, it's kind of difficult to remove it. I'm impressed!

I just ordered one thanks to you and thanks for the pictures :D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] unstandardized:
Got mine last week on a Wednesday, ordered it off of MobileFun on a Monday, though the express delivery said it'll take 3-5 days, it only took 2 days to get from Birmingham to Shanghai which is quite awesome! :good:

Still kinda feeling the weight change but I'm actually loving it, it feels really good how my hand completely hugs the back of my S3. I'm still running naked though without any cases available.

So far so good...the first-time charge was a definite change it took almost 4 hours to get from 2%-100% :laugh:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aarontsuru:
awesome! holding out for the diztronic for now, but if that doesn't show up on amazon in a week or so, this is my pick! thanks again!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nm8:
thanks very much for the pics and feedback, may I ask is the case made of rubber or silicon? Does it stretch when you stroke your finger from the middle of the screen to the top or bottom of the case?

thanks
[Galaxy S III Accessories] siani_8:
I received this battery last week and I'm loving it. I have the white extended back cover on my Titanium S3 and I think it looks really nice. I have no problem going from 6 AM to 12 PM on a normal work day with life to spare when I go to bed. That's all I really needed out of a battery. I've seen as much as 6 hours screen-on time at the end of the day as well. I'm sure I could kill if faster playing games on it all day or something but that isn't my normal use or I'd buy one of those bigger batteries.

Anyway, the real reason for my post this morning is to give one more alternative to the case situation. I have been using slip cases on my phones since the back in the G1 days when that phone came with a nice one out of the box! I wish they still included things like that especially for a $600 phone retail. I really like the feel of the naked phone now that it has the extended battery on it so I ended up getting the Kussel Leather case.

http://www.amazon.com/Krusell-Premi...64734566&sr=8-3&keywords=krussel+leather+case

As I've said, I used slip cases before and they offer protection from things in your pocket and keep your phone clean and lint free when you want to use it. It will probably offer more drop protection than the naked phone but this is no Otter case so I wouldn't recommend it to clumsy people. You probably can't tell in the picture but besides the edges where the stitching is, the leather is pretty thin so doesn't add much to the thickness when in the case.

It only took a couple of days for the case to break in to the size and shape of the phone and now fits like a glove and while it's easy to pull out with two fingers, it doesn't fall out if you hold it upside down.

You can see in the third picture that it isn't any thicker inside of the case than my last phone was naked (HTC MyTouch 4G Slide) so it's not noticeable or uncomfortable to me while in my pocket.

Edit: I just wanted to add the case is nice quality leather and soft on the inside. Also, I broke it in with the standard battery in first for a couple of days before adding the extended battery so it was easier to break in with that on.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BellerophonM:
Anyone know which seller would be best for an Australian? No huge rush for shipping.

Just how thin is this case?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nm8:
It actually looks thick. The thin ones from casemate are the OLO ones I reckon. Antway I ordered both. Lrts see how they fit...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] iridaki:
It's not as thick as it looks in the photos, that's for sure, it doesn't add that much extra bulk.

I'd say it's like a generic TPU case on that department, maybe slightly thicker.

wonder when its going to be up on ebay or something.

the 2100 for the I9000 was a tad bigger,but really, i never noticed. i also found that i could not get a case on it tho BUT, if I took the back off, it would fit, so it was perfect for me!

slightly bigger is fine. the 4200 are too big for me.

Hello,

does someone know if this battery would be compatible with the Qi receiver pad ?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stkiswr:
I have mine working. Barely fits. I put some pretty aggressive tape to help hold the connections down. Been good so far but it is tight in there
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jmz768:
Finally received my battery today. The Diztronic case does fit, but it's a very tight fit. The side buttons are not in the center of the cutouts, making them a little harder to push. I'll see if it stretches over the next few days.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Bobblot:
Does anyone know of a wallet case that fits with the extended battery in?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nm8:
I have now received mine, and I can confirm that the case fits perfectly, and the holes are aligned properly, after a little fiddiling around. The part that is just below the camera lifts a little bit, but this is alright with me. Now the phone feels more secure, and protected from scratches and little bumps.

Special thanks to iridaki !!!

The case is made of the same material as that of the inner layer of the Casemate Tough case to those who want to know. It Does NOT stretch easily.

Here are pics:

=================================================================================

I also want to know the answer to this.... thanks
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jmz768:
I've pulled my phone out of my pocket a couple of times today and found that the sides of the case had popped off of the phone. Unless this case stretches out some, the standard Diztronic case is going to be a no go for me. Hopefully they release their extended battery case soon.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nm8:
Pics of mine and the wife's. Pink is with normal battery.

so the extended battery only adds 22 grams
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Trouveur:
Thank you for the answer.

So that works and the cover back still fits, abeit a need to be agressive in order to close the phone.

Which receiver pad do you have ? the white one or the blue one ? (sorry I can't post url currently).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stkiswr:
I have the white qi reciever for myself and my wife's gs3. Much tighter fit on the extended. Have to squeeze back door a little to snap. Haven't trimmed anything or tried to.

Also have the white qi charging station and the energizer dual qi pad. Energizer pad is fantastic. White qi is a little less forgiving on placement

[Galaxy S III Accessories] iofthestorm:
Is there any place to buy this besides MobileFun and some occasional eBay sales? Kind of fishy that Samsung isn't selling it themselves if it's an OEM product. Might want to pick one of these up sometime soon. Though I wonder if it causes any problems with the Palm Touchstone wireless charging mod? Hopefully it doesn't make it too heavy for the built in discs to keep it on the Touchstone. I'm guessing there shouldn't be a problem transferring the coil and whatnot to the new back though.

I've had my battery for approx 2 weeks now and I haven't noticed any increase in battery over the stock one. I got mine from sunny saver via Amazon. Do I have a did battery or is that store unreliable?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] galexandr:
I can comfortably say its better than stock. I charge'up twice a day. For 45-50 min while on the way to work. Its not 'fully charged' at all times but it works for me since I have no plug by my bed and don't like to charge while at work. If u look back i did at some point complain about size. But I got used to it and the zoogue case works
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Que1999:
Batteries on Amazon = Risky buy. It's probably a dud my friend, sorry...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mr.Mischief:
Amazon is one of most reliable only marketplaces available. If there is a problem with a battery, it's most likely the manufacture's fault, not the retailer's.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stkiswr:
I'd say some thing isn't right. You have a runaway program or bad battery. My battery is incredibly better than stock. Not just a lil better...hours better.

If you are concerned about the battery and are rooted, make a backup and wipe data. Then reset up your phone. Test for a day after reset. And freeze Google maps just to test. If you are curious and would like some advice post up your battery stats exactly like I have a post above this and we can decipher if its a drain in the os
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Que1999:
Batteries, as I've learned the hard way, often aren't what they seem thru many of the retailers on Amazon. That's not to say they are all bad, but many are falsely advertised in terms of MAh and many are falsely sold as OEM batteries. They are dolled up to look exactly like an OEM until you see how poorly they perform next to a stock battery.

°N4°
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zmeflyby:
come to think of it, I got mine from sunny saver too and it has been like a week with very a little improvment over stock, if any. :(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tuffluck:
Send it back. No doubt mine is more powerful than stock, so there is no scam here IMO.

That being said, I got mine from mobilefun, too, so I cannot vouch for Sunny Savers. However, amazon has amazing customer service. If you suspect foul play, call them directly and they will almost certainly work with you to fix the problem. That sounds cliche, but seriously I dropped something and broke it. I returned it and told them I broke it and they not only refunded me, but overnighted a replacement.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stkiswr:
I can only vouch for mobilefun. They shipped to middle Ga in 2 days. Ordered on Sat. Paid $75 fawk um yeah but well worth it to me. Slim and huge improvement.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ascertion:
I'll try it. Getting exactly what I got on stock battery. Around 3 hrs screen time total and I usually keep brightness at 50%. This is over 4g lte.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] statickiwi:
I'm in Canada and just received mine from mobile fun. Shipping was quick and cheap.

I have to say that this battery makes the phone feels much more comfortable in my hand. The rounded back is a nice ergonomic feeling to holding the phone in one hand. Worth the $60 bucks I spent.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Kipp34:
How long did it take for you to get it from Mobilefun? I also bought it from them on March the 22nd with standard shipping.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Rams99:
As did I. Bought it from mobilefun.com on March 22, standard shipping. I from California. Hopefully I should be receiving it this week for sure. Anyone from the us ordered from mobilefun.com? How long did it take with standard shipping to receive it?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] countryfolk07:
I ordered from mobile fun also. Mine took about 9 days. I got my order in just before they went on backorder.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jmz768:
My order from mobilefun took 2 weeks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stkiswr:
I keep auto bright and sync always on. On 4g on in a decent coverage area and usually am at 3:45 screen on time at 50% battery. I have gotten almost 7hrs screen on time on just 4g when I was testing my battery. I rarely play games but this battery has held up to contract killer 2 with no issues. The stock would drain 10% in 25 mins of gaming. This extended I don't even notice it.

You may have a lemon or a program running. Is your android system in you battery usage abnormally high?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] statickiwi:
I bought on the 16th so I would guess it'll arrive in a few more days for you :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ascertion:
No. I'm getting the same performance as stock battery, using the same apps. Same ROM, too. I am starting to think I should message them for a replacement which I'll do tomorrow. I get sometimes around 2 hrs screen time and I have to charge it at night.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] wolfgrrl:
Sorry to bother, but there are over 57 pages on this thread! :eek:

Is there a US distributor for this yet, and does it come in white? At work on lunch and it's over, so don't have the ability to read all the pages.

Thanks so much!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stkiswr:
I charge mine regardless at night but this is my normal battery I get:

The only other idea would be how bad is your signal area but my wife works in a terrible signal area and still on the stock battery she can manage over 2 hours screen time. I think you have a lemon. On an i535 I would venture to say a buyer that could get 3:30-3:45 screen on time on lte only on the stock OEM battery should be able to achieve a minimum of 5:30 hours of screen on time just by replacing with this battery. If not...something isn't right.

Hit them up or call Samsung. Some one should be able to warranty that battery
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stkiswr:
Now I am not 100% familiar with sprint but I would only guess you aren't in an lte area. Even still, you should notice a large difference between the 2 batteries (OEM vs extended Samsung)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Rams99:
Haha yeah same here. They went on backorder about 4-5 days after. Guess there selling like hotcakes.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DiamondJay20:
so it turns out that according to the Diztronic website for their case and several emails between me and support, they won't have the case until next week, maybe even later. So there's the Zoogue social and what else?

[Galaxy S III Accessories] iridaki:
The difference between stock and the extended battery is huge.

After 3 hours of screen time, the stock battery is at 17%, but the extended, after the same amount, is still at 54%. Setting aside usage pattern variation among the days etc, still the increase is drastic.

I don't know how many times I've said it or posted pics. Just buy the original diztronic. It fits my extended battery perfectly after a week of stretching. I will not be buying another. It is so far the only case I've bought, before and after the battery upgrade.

I can't see how they can make a different case honestly.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mr.Mischief:
Or just wait a week or so and buy the case that's actually designed for the extended battery.

I already ordered my Zoogue from Ebay so I ordered it next day air. Everyday my phone could get cracked, yellow (its white), and thus lose value when I go to sell it, which would be a shame cuz its unlocked, is a day I am scared.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DiamondJay20:
Ok I got my zoogue, it fits but barely, the screen protector got taken off in the process of putting it on ( mochi matte), and the bottom right lip isn't as on as the left. The bottom mic is also covered tho voice commands do work. Any suggestions? How can I stretch it out so it fits better?

^^ Do it! Interested! Been going on a little to long without a case/bumper. Feel like something bad is going to happen soon.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Rams99:
Just got my battery in today. Does make it alittle bigger but not by that much. Since before this I had a Rezound with the oem extended battery. Now that thing was a beast. I can confirm that the zoogue does fit. At first it didn't but I had to take it off and kind of form fit it on there. I would think after about week or so it will stretch it out. Just to let everyone know it took them about 10 business days to ship to California. I choose the standard shipping since I wasn't really in a hurry to get it. But I love the battery and the form factor of it now. Seems like I have a better grip of the phone. Will report back after I have drained and ran it a full day. Thanks to all the reviews out there about what case fits or not.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] LostSymphonies:
Wow this battery is amazing. I was skeptical that 3000mah wouldn't be enough but its perfect. First day testing It out and I used the phone pretty much the whole day. About an hour and a half a games, lots of GPS use driving around Hollywood, lots of texts, lots of time surfing on chrome, and by the time I got home around 11 I think i still had about 10-15 percent which I tried to drain within an hour but couldn't. Lol very impressed!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DiamondJay20:
one way you could have gotten it faster is ebay, I got it overnight thru there, just sharin the wisdom with future buyers! :)

Also, has anyone information on drop tests of the S3 with the extended battery and/or the Zoogue case?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gingson:
I own a Draco and it will not fit the extended 3000 mah battery. If you can make it fit show me a photo.

Fits with the UAG and Element Case

Hi all,

I receive my battery from Mobile Fun by wednesday and until the moment I got 20h of battery time with 4h of video, with WIFI on and 3G all time. Sync GMAIL and FACEBOOK.

About case, I have a SIII white and I bought a blue cover battery (my bad), but I don't have problems about, because I am using a case without the battery cover.

Urban Armor Gear and Element Case, FITS without the battery cover.

Later I will post some pictures.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nickflores555:
ok, so i had bought some replacement screws for my draco case but they were too long,

after using my new battery for the past few days ( the battery life is awesome and the new backplate really makes the phone easier to hold)

i saw this last post and i figured i would try it slapping it on. there is a small gap between the two pieces but it holds tight.

might try putting some small pieces of rubber in between the gaps...

anyways... this wont be something i use everyday because i dont like the case in general, (trade anyone?)

but was interested to see if fit and it seems with some minor fabrication this could work,

anyone have alternative suggestions beside's casemate or zoogue?
