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.

Hi, I purchased the otter box recently
http://www.amazon.com/Otterbox-08-2..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1319130910&sr=1-1
I am still using the stock 1500mAh battery... I'm curious does anyone know of any extended battery of good quality that will still allow the phone to fit into the otter box? I see many varieties being sold, like the 1800 slim, the 1930, 2200 and even 3600 mAh batteries..
I'm assuming if I get an extended battery that comes with a new, larger battery cover.. it probably would no longer fit in the otter box? If this is the case, are there any batteries that do not require a modified battery cover?
Get Motorola's extended battery. Its comes with a new battery door, but there is literally no difference with the stock cover. You can get away with using the stock battery door, but its a little bit of a tight fit.

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.

It's a separate battery with a backcover...adds bulk.

anyone know if this fits the U.S. note with the mugen extended battery? I know it says the international version only but i'm not sure if that would be too much of an issue
wow it`s huge.
That what she said lol!

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.
Is the LG G2 D802 OEM battery door the same for the black and white models? I am getting a black LG G2 but I want to change the battery door to the white one, but I don't know if it fits. The black one seems to have no NFC tag or some antenna while the white one has. Anyone knows? I want to make my LG G2 look like a Nexus device!
Thanks.
As long as you get the back cover for your model, there shouldn't be a problem.
I had that exact same thinking as yours but just can't find a cheap OEM back cover. If you do, do let me know!
Cheapest I had found was $29 for a replacement back cover. I'll probably end up doing the white back too. Always liked that look

I've never met an aftermarket aluminum case or battery cover that didn't severely alter the signal including WiFi. They look nice but not worth me losing LTE or battery life over
