Anyone know if there's a carrying case similar to the snap in case (like for the original Droid & X) that will accommodate an extended battery? I've hunted VZW's site & e-bay but haven't found any except the pouch style.

Which battery are you using? I am using the Verizon Extended Battery and I bought this case (P/N VZW6300HOC) Won't let me post links yet. I used tin snips to cut out around the extended cover.
It's a Verizon extended battery, I got it & the back with my inc when they sent it as a replacement for my P. O. S. Devour.

Yeah they did the same for me. This is the best option I have seen so far.

I am using the 2150 battery and I just cut out the back of a rubber case. Works great and looks good.
I just looked at mine & its the 2150, I noticed another thread about modding a case to fit over the extended back & am going to try that. If it don't work I'm out, what, $20? It's worth a shot, I post pics if I can get the X style clip & case nodded to fit.

Not sure if its the same size but Sedio makes an extended case for the 3500mah. They don't sell it without the battery on their site, but if you email them asking about it they will offer the back piece standalone
The 3500 is thicker. Even if it fits, you're gaining the extra thickness of the 3500 case so you may as well get the 3500 battery, too.

Are you talking about the actual back cover to the battery, or an actual protective case that fits "over" the back cover?
Just went into my local Best Buy today. What did they just in..........Seidio Innocase II! $25. And to make life even better......1750mah battery! $40. The packaging says Platinum products something, but when you look on the bottom it says Seidio.
Getting the case was a no brainer. I had their cheap Rocketfish hard case and it's falling apart after a month and a half. The battery I'm still unsure about since some people say it makes a huge difference, some say it is no improvement. But thats for another thread

Hi all, could I please get some recommendations for the best extended batteries for my N1, I'm thinking about getting one. Cheers!

Seidio is always a decent brand.
As evilkorn mentioned, Seidio is probably the only main brand I have seen mentioned. Here is a link to their battery...
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bacy32hnx1-bk.htm
However, in case you didn't know, there are no extended batteries that will fit inside the stock battery compartment (at least, none worth really mentioning), so this battery comes with a replacement back cover that expands the whole length of the phone to accommodate the increased thickness of this battery.
That's brilliant, thanks for your help guys, I look into it. I'm getting more than a full days use at the moment, so I may leave it for now. Thanks again for the replies.

I'm thinking of getting one but which one mugen 3300mh
Or sedio 3500 mh
get the seidio battery. this is the second extended battery i've bought from them. (had one for my evo 4g) so far it's been great. i can go at least 2 days on a single charge. just make sure you follow the instructions to get the most out of it. i charged mine over night and just let it completely die out. i'm using the matr1x kernel and i have it clocked at 1.2
thanks I was planning on getting 3500
you won't be disappointed.
link of where to buy ?
What about one of the generics from ebay?
http://cgi.ebay.com/3300-EXTENDED-B...ccessories&hash=item3cb99d1abe#ht_2047wt_1396
This one is only $14 including shipping.
Anybody buy one of these and can provide some feedback?

are these stock size or bigger size?
edit: just looked it up. its a big 'un. anybody know if the 1750mah battery is good? i know its not 3300mh but is it better than stock?
I'm sure those cheap ones are fine, but I'm willing to pay a bit more to help ease the thoughts of a cheap battery....catching fire or exploding.
I just picked up a seidio 3500 from best buy today. Its big, reminds me of the old 5100 series Nokia from some years back but hoping for the best. I love the no slip coating on it though!
Anyone know where I should go to get one of the 3500mh batteries in Australia?
I got mine from Amazon. Here's their shipping policy for Australia:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=596190
I got mine yesterday and I love it so far. It does make the phone thicker, but I think the thickness is welcome, its easier to hold the phone to my ear with my shoulder. The battery cover is nice too. Just make sure you order the correct battery, the 4G is different from the regular NS and a few people left comments about it not fitting on Amazon.

Update - Im getting a solid two days of heavy use with this battery. I love not having to run to the charger. The second charge got me to 56hrs and I was at 4% IIRC. I forgot to take a screenshot though Ill take one on this charge. By this time of day Id already be down into the 60-70% range on the stock battery, but right now Im sitting at 81%
Side note - I also picked up the Seidio spring belt clip, and it fits perfectly with the extended battery due to the way the battery cover is. Its very sturdy and still gives you access to the lock button, volume rocker, charging port and headphone jack. Its also got a nice felt lining to protect the screen. I got it on eBay for $18 shipped.
Almost forgot to add, Im running NSCollab oc'd to 200 (screen off) 1200 (screen on) on demand.
Are there any extended batteries that will work with the stock back cover?
Just got a new seidio case and would like a new battery but don't want to have to lose the case for the extra battery.

Thats why I went with the Seidio. Its nowhere near as sexy as the stock battery cover, but the Mugen cover is much worse. Its just a big lump of plastic.
How different are the battery doors between the NS and the NS 4G? I need a couple of cheap extended batteries from eBay and the ones for the 4G are scarce and there are more choices for the NS.
Pretty sure its the exact same battery
Correct, its the same battery, but they use different doors if you go with an extended battery.
I accidently ordered the regular Nexus S extended from Amazon, luckily Amazon took care of me same day and re-routed the wrong package. <3 them.
EDIT - What he said ^
Anyone know where I can purchase just the extended battery cover for the Seidio 3500 extended battery? I already have the battery itself, but the cover had a bit of a mishap. Here's a pic of the cover I'm looking for: http://bit.ly/Nq4ZTK I was hoping to find someplace that sells that particular cover alone.
wow, really, nobody??
Hey. I found one on eBay. I can't post link as I don't have enough post yet but if you search eBay for seidio battery door and use the price+shipping lowest sort option it like the 4th one. It's $19 and free shipping... A little expensive, but better than $50 for both the battery and door. Hope this helps!
Now I have enough posts to post a link! Here's the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-innocel..._Accessories&hash=item3cbe5670b6#ht_500wt_923
excellent, thanks, I'll look into it

You can get one plus the battery from all4cellular. Google it. its only like eight bucks. I did but then instead of using the3500 i put the original 1300
And a 1900 in the back when the first one starts dieing i just swap them out. You can get over 2 days with heavy use. The 3500 would never last that long. Sorry but they won't let me post a link.

Hi, thanks for the info. A little more detail regarding the Mugen extended battery for the T-Mobile Galaxy Note. 1.Is the NFC antennae in the door? (and working?) 2.Does the door fit securely? 3.Mugen only offers battery door in black color--Our Tmbo phones are navy blue, does the door match?
Thanks in advance, appreciate you taking the time!

Re color, I haven't carefully looked at the battery cases in the light to see a difference but it looks like it matches the T-Note to me. For me the only part of the note that 'has' color is the battery cover so by replacing it entirely with the Mugen battery cover I don't notice a mismatch. Also cannot see a difference between the bezel color and the mugen case cover (except for gloss).
Re nfc the antennas are there. I haven't tested it yet.
Re fit, one of the clips on my back cover is broken, so mine does not fit perfectly there (upper right corner over volume rocker when looking at the back of the phone). All other clips snap into place perfectly so I think a new/unbroken cover would work perectly.

I bought that same case on Amazon. It works on the extended battery I have, although my battery back is different than the Mugen (forgive me I don't know how to post a link but here is the info if anyone wants to search on Amazon):
Brand New 5200mAh Extended Battery+Dark Blue NFC Back Cover Door For att Samsung i717 Galaxy Note LTE by BestMatchSold by RKWireless and Fulfilled by Amazon.
I like the case you inquired about however the power button is very difficult to press. That's my only complaint, however I have not found any other case options for Notes w/ extended batteries!
FYI for anyone interested, I am pleased with my off brand battery. I originally wanted the Mugen because of their reputation and the flat back w/stand however Mugen could not tell me if the NFC on their door worked w my Tmobile Note. I didn't want to risk it for almost $100. The off brand battery was $20bucks (even cheaper now) and so far is great. Gives me twice the usage. Beware though as the NFC on my phone doesn't work though and am now waiting for a replcmt door from Rkwireless.

nfc works on my mugen 5400mah extended battery. I love this battery! I went camping this weeknd. Watched a full movie with full brightness, took over 50 pictures, used to it text, call, check email, check facebook and used it as a flashlight at night. I unplugged it at 4pm friday and only needed to plug it back in at 930am sunday (today). It was down to 9% at that point. thats 41.5hrs on a single charge. thank you mugen!
*mine came with a mugen pouch too. did anyone else get that? I hadn't heard of anyone else getting a pouch/case with the battery until i got mine. I ordered the hyperion case but they sent me the wrong one, but the pouch works until amazon can send me the right case.
thanks for the info that the NFC works on the Mugen, good to know! Update: I received the newbattery back from RKwireless for my off brand extended battery but the NFC still doesn't work with that one either.
Almost 11 hrs screen time with screen on FULL BRIGHTNESS.love the mugen battery

How are the mugen extended batteries doing? Any other good options? I would like to use one for when I go out of town for business. I typically have to leave early in the morning and then return home later in the evening. I have trouble staying in one place long enough to charge my phone, and I keep forgetting the second battery I bought. It would be nice to snap the extended battery on the night before, charge it, and then not worry if I have enough juice to get back home without carrying extra wires, batteries etc. I could get an external 10,000mah battery, but trying to travel light. I already left behind a charger in the TSA security area. When I realized it and returned it was gone (of course).
I ended up just buying an Anker Astro e3 with 10,000mah of power for when I need to bring it. It's working great so far. Nice to know I can fully charge my phone four times with it if I'm on the standard battery.

I have no idea if it would even be a battery case, but it looks good. Or it could be absolutely fake
It does appear to be pretty thick in the back—it's hard to tell because there's no angled view.
The minimum order is 50 units, so we'll have to wait for a reseller to pick these up before we can order one.
If they turn out to be even half-way decent quality, provide at least 1500mAh (no way it would actually be the 3500 claimed, or anywhere near it), and come in under $50 retail, I'll be all over it.
I'd be all over it if it isn't much thicker than my spigen case and if it's black colored
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Agreed. It just looks too good to be true, since the only other battery case I have found covers the back buttons....and still might be a ripoff
