I have the extended battery, and cant find a case ANYWHERE... Anyone know of anything?
That is a good question.. i have not seen anything offical other than seidio having cases for their extended batteries(still in development according to website.
Looks like walmart or a mall kiosk for a pouch as a temp fix to this case problem....
I used a razor blade to cut my soft case to fit my 3500 battery. Looks pretty good. I will never go back to using the stick battery.

It works for their extended battery or for the stock battery. I have been using one since it came out and also for years on my xv6800... I am VERY happy with their products so far.
Normal caveats... YMMV, IMHO, yadda yadda yadda

I took a razor blade to the Amzer Silicon case I have used before with the stock battery. The battery door sticks out a little. Cheap solution until there is actual products on the market...I think I paid $10 including shipping from ebay. I am sure you can mod any other stock case with a cutout so the battery can extend, but that is up to you... I figured the price I paid vs the use I got from it evened out

And for added protection stick one of these on the back of the battery door

They come in all sorts of colors and designs
You can mod cases for the humpback door designs, but not the fatty doors all of the lower cost, eBay extended bats ship with.
I am wondering if I would have any luck buying a cheapo silicone and a cheapo hard case from Amazon or eBay, cutting the backs out of both of them for the extended battery, and putting them both on so it would be kind of like an Otterbox. Is that feasible or should I just buy the Otterbox and mod it (I figured the cheapo cases would be less of a loss if it turned out to be a big fail)?
We now have Silicone cases available for the Droid Incredible and Evo 4G Extended batteries. Black, Red, Pink and Purple are available.

Need better pics. The pic on the link provided looks nothing like anything that would fit on an Incredible. Do these cases fit on the Seidio 3500 mAh batteries?

I agree. Please post more pictures. The box shape of the case makes me wonder if the phone would just sit in the case with too much room. Like if you grip the phone with the case on it, does the case cave in around the phone? Does the case feel solid enough or firm when on the phone? Just doesnt look like it would conform to the phone correctly. Im sure im not describing what im trying to find out correctly.
Post pics of the inside of the case?
This case does not fit with the seidio innocell 3500 battery which imo is the only one worth buying there is a case specifically for this battery on the seidio website however doesnt appear to give much protection my hope is that they design a rugged case for the extended battery
For the 2150 HTC extended battery, here is a good place:
http://shop.htcpedia.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=1104&compability_product=757
Would recommend not using silicone only as all of them tend to slip off pretty easily. But they do have hard rubber ones, the black ones look much better than red.
First Im sorry if this has been asked before but anyone tried sweet armor yet? If so, will it work with the Mugen Extended Battery? Thanks =)
http://www.thesweetarmor.com/en/13-sweet-armor-gnote-2
looks awesome but expensive for just a bumper.
It looks nice- though definitely a little pricey. Also looks a little bulky in the back? Maybe it's the images.
Coming from (SGS3 Galaxy S3) - new Note 2 owner
I've tried similar bumper for SGS3 - there is issues of the thing being heavy and adding to the weight of the device.
If the bumper makers had sense - they'd focus on the fit and adding protection - not adding looks/ metal and finish.
Now with extended batteries - the bumpers are a tough fit. Of the several I tried for the SGS3 only one fit.
If anyone knows better please post.
I have the Sweet Armor but no extended battery.

Looks good...but aluminum will dent if dropped so drop the phone your phone might be protected but you need to get a new case
Looks great, too expensive though.
Wow 70$. But i don't need an extra Note 2, I just want the bumper
Ihave a cheap metal bumper with my extended battery. You shouldnt have to worry about denting it but it will reduce signal and gps performance. Im going to mod it and see if I can remedy the issue. The one I bought was only 10 $ but doesnt screw together. I think the screw together versions are better. You should be able to find a cheap Chinese knock off sweet armor on ebay soon enough.
I had a sweet armor bumper and the mugen extended for the GNote 1 and they both fit perfectly, hence i asked =) It is indeed a little pricey so it will depend on personal preference, i guess. I have tried cheaper bumpers for the note 1 and none of them look as good as the sweet armor. Of course i understand some would prefer cheaper bumpers but this one has awesome look and finish. The sweet armor on my Note 1 still look as good today as it was on day 1 when i got it. Admitedly, I haven't dropped my Note 1 (thank god) so i cant say too much about the durability though. Not sure about the cheaper bumpers (i havent used them long enough) but definitely no dents/scratches from everyday wear and tear for this one though.
The only problem i had with the Note1 sweet armor though is that i lost a screw once and i had to replace it (it came with 5 extra screws btw) but that was my own negligence (prob a loose screw), never lost another screw after the first one til today =) the fit was awesome for my Note1, never had a reception problem (or not bad enough for me to notice at least). The extra weight wasnt a problem for me (I use a Note1 with the extended battery remember) but i'd think it wont add too much weight to a standard GNote. Just removed the bumper from my note1, and saw no scratch (from the bumper) on the sides of the phone.
PS: I went ahead and ordered one today and already got my shipping confirmation few hours later. I will try to update here with pics when it arrives. If it doesnt fit my mugen extended then i guess i will use it when im using the standard battery (I usually switch extended/standard battery depending on my need at the time). It will take a while cause i was being cheap and chose the cheaper shipping option.
Okay just got my bumper in the mail today. Fits perfect even with the mugen extended. Quality is awesome. Only complain I have is the side buttons feel a little loose, no biggie. And of course a lil too pricey. Comes with 3 extra buttons and five screws, loving it. It looks awesome =)

Just ordered one a few days ago. And to compliment it, a white carbon fiber battery cover on ebay. Can't wait for both to arrive
Sweet bumper but wayyy too pricey considering the chinese are banging the same thing out for $10 a unit.
Still please post pics when yours comes in.

I would love to buy several if they are of the same quality. Could you provide a link where these are available for $10 please?
UPDATE: Saw the other thread you participated in about aluminum bumpers and I see what bumpers you're referring to. While they look nice, you get what you pay for. I tried one of those and the quality is MUCH lower than the Sweet Armor. It is lighter, thinner, and scratches the GN2 easily. I believe in paying for quality if it can be had and the SA is worth it IMO.
No offense to those who bought the $10 eBay bumpers though.

I had the SA on my SII, it was sweet but pricey. After I sold my SII to get the Note, I gave the $10 bumper a go for a cheaper bumper look. Unfortunately, it messed up my Note. Plastic started chipping off between the screen and bezel.
Cons: Flimsy built, one time it slipped about half a feet high (in account with the weight of phone). The frame wasn't in the best of shape anymore. Unsatisfying premium look, actually made my phone look cheap. Tight slider, which cause plastic area to chip off over time and possible scratches to screen protector or phone if your not careful.
Pros: Cheap, easily replaceable. (provided not parts/accessory of your phone that needs replacement caused by the bumper)
Imho, you get what you paid for and I paid more. But kudos to those who had no problem with their bumpers. On my Note II, It's just sad case if I had to go thru it again, that's why I'm going back to SA
I had one of my Galaxy S1. Well made piece of kit but I ultimately didnt like the feel in the hand and was dubious about the shock protection (on that version there were only a few little thin foam strips inside the bezel.

battery +cover? Does anyone know.
Sorry if this has been asked but I didn't see anything to that effect. I am looking to get the Samsung Galaxy Note II and it seems to have everything I want:- size, speed, specs etc. I also almost never use a smartphone without getting an extended battery and I almost never use a phone without a protective phone case, so I need to know.
TIA.
Honestly try using the phone before assuming you will need an extended battery. The stock battery on this phone is light years beyond most smart phones.

yeah, I know the reputation of the stock. But I'm the type of user that much prefers a few days of medium use without the absolute need of charging.
Wont work with mugen. You can call seidio and order the battery cover as well though. Ive been using it with the anker extended battery + seidio cover + seidio extended battery case.
The case just came out a couple of days ago and I ordered it instantly. Have been using since Friday and I love it.

So Mugen is bigger? Then, Anker and Hyperion and QCell will fit with Seidio? I'm getting Innocell and Active case for it next week. If someone can post dimensions for Mugen and Anker/Hyperion, I can verify it.
Well the hyperion I know comes with a hunchback style battery cover and that is not like the seidio. The batteries themselves are the same size, but the cover has to match.
I know the Onite comes with the same style cover as the seidio.
The mugen back piece is a lot bigger than hyperion and seidio style.
Buy the onite battery and use that cover with the seidio if you don't want to buy the seidio back cover separate. Then it will all work fine with the seidio active extended case.

Do you have a good experience with Onite brand?
Btw, since you have a lot of knowledge about this battery subject, do you think you can reply/answer some of the questions I posted in THIS thread?
Thanks so much supertrekie. Your suggesstion makes a tonne of sense. I just hope that the mugen battery is not so much bigger than the seidio's that the seidio's battery cover wouldn't fit; even though I don't think that will be a problem. But yeah, will def check it out.
Thanks, again.
Unfortunately the mugen battery is a smidge thicker than the onite and Hyperion batteries, just enough to make their covers impossible to be used with the mugen battery, since they don't snap back to the phone's casing... tried to, and now I have two extended batteries and back covers and one tpu extended battery kickstand case sitting in my drawer.

Which Seidio case and holster works with the onite battery? Is it the active case and active holster? Oops. Nevermiind. I just saw you said the active.
So the Seideo extended cover should fit the hyperion battery? That would be awsome. The seideo active case saved my Evo 4g to many times. Its the only case out there I trust. The skeleton is priceless. I am in dire need for that protection on this phone.

I don't think anybody tried it yet. Check out my Active Extended review, in sig link, for more details and dimensions of Innocell for comparison with other extended batteries.
My Samsung Note 2 should be here this wendsday along with a Mime tempered glass screen protector. I am planning on buying the Zero Lemon 9400mah battery when it is available early April. Since I'm going to mod my defender to fit the extended battery should I get another separate UAG case for the stock battery when I use it? The reason I ask is because I don't know if there will be complications between the modded defender and stock battery since I'm cutting the case. I already ordered the defender so I just don't know if I should get the UAG at this point. Also if there are any other accessories for the N2 that you recommend let me know

I don't think you'd have a problem using a modded defender with the regular phone. You may have a problem modding it in the first place to fit the zerolemon though. I would get the uag since it's so much smaller than the defender anyways and it'll look and feel better when not using the zerolemon.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I would get UAG case now since you will need a protection for your phone, and then wait until Zerolemon starts to ship their battery in a few weeks to find out if Defender could even be modified for it. Don't buy Defender yet. I can tell you that most likely I will be getting Zerolemon battery myself and I have Defender (fake) which I'm going to measure up to see if mod is even possible (which I seriously doubt).
Actually, the more I think about it, the more I consider Zerolemon as a specialty battery battery for watching movies during your commute or on a plane or when you are on a long trip, etc. For that occasion Zerolemon guys fine-tuning their TPU case to give you a good handling grip, lip protection, and basic case to hold it together. Having TPU case is convenient to switch between Zerolemon and regular battery w/UAG. No need to unlatch and remove multi-layer parts of the case. I also been told by Zerolemon team they are working on a rugged case which might be your everyday solution for their battery. Depending on that case, I might end up dropping all of my other cases and switching exclusively to it!!! It just so great to have this multi-day battery freedom
My point, don't invent into Defender yet, unless you already bought it and can't return it.

I bought the Defender case already but the ebay seller agreed to let me cancel the order. I'll be picking up the UAG case and wait on Zerolemon to release their battery. Thanks for the advice guys, and if you have anymore recommendations for accessories let me know
I dont think the defender will be able to cover that monster. I mean, it bulges with a 6400... I guess we'll see around mid-late April when the zero lemon ships.
I don't know about you guys, but if I were to buy a zerolemon I would probably never take it off. I would just get used to the 5+ days of charge and could never go back to stock battery.

I want a case with a kick stand that resemble the HTC EVO 4G LTE. Not a big azz kick stand or like the usual. I like the case to be thin
and the kick stand to be skinny at the EVO size.

Not really. I seen one before and no feeling it.
Really? I think thats honestly the best one with a kick stand I've seen so far. I like the fact that the kick stand is magnetic and not likely to be prone to breaking from a plastic piece or anything. Good luck finding what you're looking for though.
Seido surface looks nice
What about a kickstand case with an extended battery. I have just seen the horrible Hyperion ones on Amazon. Any good ones out there?
can some one send me the lowest price deal link for seido. i need it but its too costly..
Try this one
