I've been looking at the xv6800 extended battery options. Since I came from an 6700 with the monster extended battery, I'm kind of leaning towards one that is somewhere in the middle. The monster 3200 (or 33, 34... don't remember) was awesome, I don't think I need that much day to day.
I don't think the 1800 is an option, so I guess I have to choose from the ones that require a different battery door. I'm looking for the minimum increase to phone thickness.
Option 1: I can't find measurements, but this looks like the least additional thickness. 2400 Mah. I can't get a good indication on the thickness it adds.
Option 2: This is interesting due to the way it is designed, it looks like it might feel comfy in the hand... 2200 Mah
Option 3: This is pretty much the same, but squares off the back so it might lay on the desk, counter, dashboard, etc more evenly... Another 2400 mah. At that point, I might as well get the monster 3200 Mah
I'm leaning towards option 1 since it is close to double the capacity, but it looks realitively thin.
Thoughts? Opinions?
seidio makes the 3200 one but no case for it.

Yes, I was aware of that, thanks. I'm just wondering if anyone has opinions or reviews of Option 1?
option 1 adds about 1/4 inch
Option 1s picture could be deceiving since the picture makes it hard to tell how thick it is from the side. The monster battery is overkill for me. I would go with option 1 if it extends only half way out as much as the monster battery would. It would be nice if somehow I can get the option 1 battery with the option 2 battery cover.
Option 1 battery with option 2 cover.
I have the option 2 Battery with a slightly different cover...Sort of Slanted sides to a flat and the cover looks great...
But don't bother with 2200 or 2400...
Mine is 2200 and you really don't get a lot extra from it. Can't imagine an extra 200 is going to make a significant difference. You will wake up the next day with a usable unit but you won't make it through the day.
Go for the 3200 if you can get it.
That should let you skip a day on the charging if you have to...
It would be really nice to see these batteries + covers from many different angles. People willing to take some pictures and post them?
It's a battery and cover for a phone. I think if you're worried about "looks" rather than functionality, perhaps the priorities are a bit skewed.
Buy the biggest battery for your needs, the looks are going to be what they are regardless because the manufacturers decide what the thing looks like. If it's ugly, to you, return it.

I don't agree with your comment completely. Yes, looks is a comparison option, and based on that alone, I wouldn't get the 3200, but I know that I will require x minimum amount of battery, so that is not the only consideration. Some of those with the slanted covers appear that they might feel more comfortable from a grip standpoint. The 3200 might be too big as it relates to holsters, pouches, etc. I am asking for opinions across the board, not just a beauty contest
Based on Asphyx reply, I might just go ahead and get a 3x00 variant... probably the prettiest one
I have the seidio battery and extended battery hard cover, it has a rubber"y" grippy feeling to it. Looks fine and all in black. My holster fits just fine.
Not sure what beauty part of a phone has to do with it, you could have a really beautiful dead phone, but well, it's just a really beautiful brick then.
Thanks,
Has anyone found a charging base that works with a phone (6800) that has the extended battery installed? I don't want to unplug the battery to charge it and I'm trying to get away for the cable bit, I liked the base that the 6700 had.
I've done EXTENSIVE looking for this exact thing, and so far have had to mod 2 normal cradles so I can use them with a super extended battery.
The cradles because they had to be modded didn't have anything to support the device standing up, finally gave up and just use the cable on the desktop.

Here are a couple of options for you.
http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=832
http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=833
The standard dock has a 3.5mm audio port that allows you to plug into external speakers, while the Jr. version is simple sync & charge. Both will work with extended batteries.

NEITHER one of these answers the original request. The only difference between these two cradles is that one lets you keep the rubberized case on the device while charging. That is NOT the same as charging while having the extended battery IN the device using a cradle. I too would like this option. I've asked for this months ago. I have a super extended battery with a rubberized case and want a cradle that accommodates that and a spare battery to charge from the cradle as well.
To date, nothing like this exists.

I swear by these guys for all my accessories and batteries, going on 4 phones now. Very satisified customer.

edit: and says it's compatible with holster, agian, very satisfied buy.

This is by far my favorite of the 3 holsters I've previously owned for various phones by the same company. Phone sits very secure with no fear of falling out at all.
Interesting, the price is a bit steep but not too high.
I would like to see some higher res pics from a few angles to get a better idea of what the case cover looks like.
I have the holster but how do you know the extended battery fits the holster? From the single photo of the battery cover, it looks like the top sticks out as much as the area below the camera...

Yes I did see that though from the photo it does not look like that's the case. Do you really think it's compatible from that photo? I've had the extended battery for the Storm and the holster worked fine because the battery cover did not extend on the upper portion where the camera is. Guess we'll have to wait for someone to actually dive in but in the meantime I'm sticking to what I can tell from that photo on their site.
Reasonable price? depends on what you think is reasonable. You do realize that without either the battery or the phone, the other is pretty worthless. I think it's a great price considering crap motorola batteries are $30
got this from seidio, just an fyi, they must be talking about different holsters or the listing might just be plain incorrect.

I ordered this, and its been shipped already and I am awaiting arrival. I also have the innocase and holster combo, and while I know the innocase wont fit, I will try the holster and report back if that one works.
any idea which case will work?
:/
I got mine today. Huge battery
The replacement cover is ok, although I am afraid it will accidentally slide off in my pocket.
Overall, the added bulk really doesn't make a huge difference, in fact it makes it a little easier to hold.
Can't wait to see what the battery life on this sucker is like.

I got mine today too. I also like the added bulk. It fits my Seidio holster, even though the innocase that I got with the holster wont fit. Made of the same material as the innocase so its hard to scuff etc. I'll report back after a few cycles to let people know what I'm getting usage wise out of it.
UPDATE:
Well, it came off the charger at 3:30pm today saying 100%. I have been hammering it mercilessly for 6 hours now. Streaming Pandora for six hours straight, Turned on GPS, set all of my social network notifications to the quickest pull intervals, and my mail also. I have had the web browser open for nearly three hours, had three calls of around 20 minutes each, and my awake time since I pulled the battery off the charger is 100%. I am sitting at 75% right now. I am trying to get the battery low so I can get a full charge for the next cycle, but this damn thing won't go down. I guess I'll try to download a game or something and play it while listening to Pandora. This thing is a beast....
This is a beast. Used it all evening last night, and the power meter did not budge.
Also the new back makes the Hero much easier to hold.
Waiting for a day in the office where I have a weak signal to see how it does there. I'm guessing this thing will make it through a day or two no matter what I throw at it.
By far the best accessory...
Awesome, guys, glad to hear this thing is the real deal. I'm thinking about getting one but I'm waiting for the price to go down. Anyone know if they usually do? Last extended battery I bought was only $7, this one is pretty steep.
I found a better deal but not in stock ATM:

watch out for these kinda deals, i'm fairly certain seidio's waranty doesn't transfer to 3rd party sellers completely.
I had purchased a battery from seidio previously that was DoA, and after a conversation with their RMA department getting my invoice number and all that, they said they will replace bad batteries from anywhere but since I purchased through seidio directly they would send me a replacement without having to send the old one back first (or at all, they just said to pitch it). The battery that was sent to me was tested with a full power cycle before being over-nighted to my door.
I don't know, it's something to think about. If I'm getting a quality piece of gear, and the service to back it. I don't mind throwing out an extra little bit.
I'm on my second charge. The phone has been off the charger since 12pm on Sunday. I am sitting at 70% on Monday at 2pm. I'm really liking the usage I am getting out of this. I did not beat on it too much yesterday, just a lot of normal use. I figure at this rate, I will have to charge it every three or so days. I'm hoping it improves after a few cycles, even though I've only charged it twice so far. I'm going to run it down to 30% or so before the next charge....who knows when that will be lol.
Hiya, I just purchased the 3600 mAh Mugen Power extended battery and the case it came with doesn't seem to have an antenna built into it. Would it be possible to fix on a thin strip of metal to the case and have it touch the connectors on the phone? If so, which metal would give the best reception or are the antennas more complex than just a line of wire? Thanks for any info!
mugen power accessories are really bad quality... i would buy it. if you do it yourself you can damage yourbdevice by short circuit...

Nice fail from mugen. No more calls with extended battery. Airplane mode will extend battery life even more
I think you should claim for a refund. According to your description their product is useless.
Thought Mugen was a high end battery supplier, but this is really an unacceptable major fail.
Thanks for sharing.

Hmm I need to rectify this mistake. Sorry it took so long for me to reply. After the initial few days of no responses I stopped monitoring this thread. I was at the beach when my roommate let me know the package had arrived. I asked him to open it and that's the conclusion he gave me when I asked. In the photos on the website you can't tell exactly so out of frantic worry and to find a solution I posted on here via my phone.
The truth is it's a pretty damn good battery. There is an antenna in the back cover and I'm not really sure why my friend thought there wasn't. Reception seems to be the same even though the antenna is bigger? Or maybe its around the same size if the stock back cover has it hidden in the plastic. The Mugen Power back case covers it with black tape. That aside, the cover feels fairly sturdy, though it could be improved a bit. Maybe some self modification would resolve that issue. It makes a bit more noise when you squeeze it than the stock cover but it doesn't feel like its going to come off or fracture.
As for the battery it seems to last me on average 40 hours before I feel the need to charge it. I'd say it isn't used heavily, more like my old phone where I just sent texts all day, called a few people and listened to music for a good number of hours. The longest I've had it go was 57 hours after letting it completely die. All in all I am quite satisfied aside from a few minor complaints about the case.
Once again I apologize about this, I jumped the gun. Also, the website I purchased it from http://www.pdaphone-battery.com will deliver if you order from them. I was worried it was a scam site since it looks extremely ghetto and no confirmation email or tracking number was sent to me after purchase. But as I said the shipping was speedy and they did send me what I ordered. They don't use https though which bugged me, however the paying part used PayPal so that was acceptable.
One more picture for better reference. I'll post a comparison picture of stock vs extended batter cover sizes if people are interested.
@Flappyraccoon
can we see inside the back cover/door...part of the signal ...TQ
You mean the bare antenna under the tape? Sure, I'll try to get pics up later today for ya.
Sorry but looks like a brick. What´s the weight of it now? Hope you´re satisfied.
I only pulled it back far enough so you could see what the antenna was made out of. Hope that is enough for ya. As for the second picture, when you look at it and feel with your fingers the antenna (I'm assuming its made from the same thin metal) is laid out in the path of the red line. It ends at the yellow line.
As for the phone brick, its not much heavier at least in my opinion. It also fits into my hand and doesn't wiggle around as much. This is because it fills in the gap between my hand and the phone. For me that is wonderful, maybe not for you .
Thats great news!
But I'm more excited about another battery - HLI-DesireZSL. It is originaly made for Desire Z, but MUGEN guys say its perfect in IS! It has 1800mAh, but use the standart HTC cover.
yoobau brand is another great battery ! but not come with higher mAH yet !

Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
Been using the 3600 Mugen for almost 3 weeks. I agree with Flappyraccoon that the phone fits into my hand better and feels less flimsy. I've dropped it less and reception difference is unnoticeable, but I live in a decent service region.
But the thin stock case does give me the appearance of having more sleek technology, and there's nothing like a dying battery at the end of one day's use for an excuse to stop talking with my girlfriend :$
I get about the same time out of it as Flappyraccoon. So much more comfortable using my phone whenever I want without worrying about later that evening. Easy to do a daily top up still but at my convenience, not the phone's urgency!

Hello,
Just thought I'd post this to help those out who are ordering a case from Seidio. I just ordered the Seidio Surface with Kickstand: http://www.seidioonline.com/htc-one-m8-surface-kickstand-case-black-p/csr3htm8k-bk.htm
Unfortunately, most of their cases for the M8 are still "Under development," but I need a case and a kickstand is not negotiable, need something to use as my alarm clock.
Use Promo Code: TW10 for 10% off your order on their site (I guess this is their Twitter Follower discount code.)
Here's a really good youtube of it. Looks great!
downwiththebanksters said:
I'd love to see you do a review or a few high quality pics. I looked at a video of the M7 case and the kickstand was a huge carbuncle on the back. On their site it looks smooth, but I'd rather see a real one in action.

Will do! I had a Seidio for my HTC One X and it was awesome despite the kickstand not allowing you to charge the device (I modified it, and flipped it around to allow this) But since the ports are different on the One M8 it shouldn't be a problem. Hopefully this case is just as reliable as the last one, which saved my phone a few times from unintended drops.
Thanks. What colour did you get?

NP! Black. I'm a pretty standard color kind of guy. :silly:
I just got the blue, and the colour is really nice. What the photos don't show is it has a pearlescent finish, and is a nice soft touch finish as well. The fit is great too as the above linked youtube shows. Yes it's relatively big money, but definitely a quality piece. My only knock is the kickstand does sit way off the phone like a carbuncle. They should find a way to better integrate it in the design.
P.S. how did you get s-off? Did you have to beg mama HTCDEV for permission to do what you wanted with your $700 device?

I am looking for a new phone to replace my now very broken and almost dead iPhone 6 plus for a S7 Edge. When I get the new handset I will need a new case for it, but here is my dilemma! what case to go for?
I have read a lot of reviews that say the battery live isn't as good as other handsets win this size, so I'm not sure as weather to try a batter case. I've never used one and I'm a bit concerned that it will add too much bulk to the handset or worst case damage it in some way. for my old Iphone I had a Spigen Neo Hybrid Metal Cover Case and really like it but felt that the metal in places was very thin, and eventually it did break. I was thinking of getting the same for the S7 and getting an external battery charger thing.
I would be grateful for any advise and opinions form you chaps and chapets!

Thanks Joe, I've been bouncing back on forth on whether to root - mainly out of nostalgia for the fun of ROM swapping and eaking out more life from the phone.
But you've helped convince me there's very little I miss about rooting, nothing that isn't outweighed by stability.

I used to root/jailbreak EVERYTHING. I wouldn't buy a phone I couldn't root. I even still have a Note tablet running a CM Nougat. I wouldn't get a phone I couldn't root, I've built several stable af and reputable ROMs. Now days, especially with Package Disabler I haven't rooted in a long time. Xposed, everything is so problematic. Root cloaks don't hide root from most apps, and MANY apps are broken or simply state they won't work with root. Not to mention you run a kernel meant to be flashed, the phones problem fixed, then flashed stock. It's NOT for daily use. Instability, excessive battery drain, there's nothing enticing about root anymore.

It's a cost cutting exercise. I need a new phone and I want one that is as up to date as possible. I've got a iPhone 6 Plus but to upgrade to the 7 plus will set me back around £100 upfront and then £30-40 more a month than the s7.
I'm going to guess that the s8 will cost the same!

IMO, your best bet is to invest in wireless charging and not worry so much about battery. I have a dock for work and one for home. When I'm not using it, it's on the dock charging. Really changes how you use it over time. Case is really a personal choice. I'm happy as can be with Spigen Rugged Armor. Doesn't affect wireless rapid charge at all.
On another note, play with one at the store. The edge can be kind of frustrating. Case reduces ghost touches, but it's still there. There are also other little annoying things like the placement of the attachment button in messages. I use that several times a day, and it is annoyingly right on that edge. If you watch a lot of video tho, it really looks great on this screen.

Everyone's use is different. No 2 people will have the same results so...

IMO, your best bet is to invest in wireless charging and not worry so much about battery. I have a dock for work and one for home. When I'm not using it, it's on the dock charging. Really changes how you use it over time. Case is really a personal choice. I'm happy as can be with Spigen Rugged Armor. Doesn't affect wireless rapid charge at all.
On another note, play with one at the store. The edge can be kind of frustrating. Case reduces ghost touches, but it's still there. There are also other little annoying things like the placement of the attachment button in messages. I use that several times a day, and it is annoyingly right on that edge. If you watch a lot of video tho, it really looks great on this screen.

I'm not sure wireless will work for me at work as I don't have anywhere other than my pocket to leave the phone!
That's one reason why I was lookin at battery cases. I'm having trouble picking a case as I can really tell from pics online what they are like. And I'm not sure if any local shops have a decent range of cases to browse!

Right on. I'd grab the phone first, see how it meets your needs. Accessories don't resell well, if at all. Power banks are cheap enough, altho I'll skip. I'd rather have an ugly case than 2 bricks tethered together. Good luck with your purchases.
ETA:
If you use power save mode on these, you can literally get days of use from a charge. With everything set to performance, I still get through a full day on it.

If you're leaving your phone in your pocket, then (depending on how tight your pockets are) you really have a choice between a case or a power bank. Personally I'd choose a bank because you can charge anything with it and they're insanely cheaper (US $15 vs. US$85 for a charging case). If you do get a case, I'd recommend spending a little extra (especially if you're getting the S7 on sale) and getting one from a solid company with a good manufacturer's warranty so that, if it breaks, you can get it fixed.
Another reason to get the S7E is that is still uses MicroUSB and not USB-C, so it'll be easier getting accessories for it.

I'm really considering a power bank. I have a Microsoft surface 3 that I can't plug in anywhere at college so could do with having something for that. Any suggestions on what power bank to look at?
Cheers
If you're getting an S7 Edge, which i don't recommend, please don't get it through sprint. This phone is so packed with bs and everything else wrong with it, go to verizon if you still want this phone.

eh dont deal with any carrier - tmo seems to be the least intrusive
if you really want it - get the 935F (exanos, international version). you'll get the latest updates from samsung and then also have the capability to load ROMs, etc if you want to. battery lasts longer too.
