Just ordered one (reviews are bragging 4 days battery life 2 days on load) and It doesnt look like the case I have will fit over it. I drop my phone quite frequently and should probably get a case. Anybody with one of these have a case they recommend?

ill post when it get it
i also have 2 3600 mah batterys and a defender series otterbox cut out the back (looks ugly) lol but now i can put in the battery and have the defender case on :laugh:
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.
Hey guys, just bought a Qcell 6200 because it was recommended as a legit battery... Does anything have a case on their extended battery?
I recently shattered my previous Note 2 and got a new one so this is rather mandatory... saw on ebay hyperion extended cases that allegedly work with most 6200mah batteries but would like to hear some opinions first.
Theres a few guys on here that have modded their defender case to work with a extended battery. You might want to give that thread a look and see if that helps.

You can also try Seidio ACTIVE Extended case. I have a detailed review here (along withe some measurements of Innocell battery it was intended for): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192306
I was wondering if anyone has tried using the Seidio Active Extended case with other batteries like the extended Hyperion or Anker batteries? Does the Seidio Extended Battery Cover fit those batteries?
Thanks
After my review of Innocell and Active Extended case, I was asking the same question but never heard back from anybody either. In that review I posted all the dimensions so perhaps someone can confirm?

I've used the Active Extended with the Anker battery and it fits perfectly. That was before switching to the ZL9300 which does not fit with the Active Extended...
If you put on the back and the battery there is still room to fit thicker batteries. Don't know which ones, but if you press on it, there is some flex and spare room underneath.

Thanks for that info. Did you use the Anker battery cover or the Seidio battery cover with the Active case?

Good question! You can't get Seidio battery cover without buying Innocell (Seidio's 4500 mAh extended battery). While Active Extended is stand-alone product. I just looked up battery cover picture of Anker and it resembles battery cover of Innocell (continues line instead of like in some other brand where they have a big step in battery cover). So, I assume Anker extended with it's cover will fit Active Extended case. But let's wait for confirmation from Technorico and Chris.
The active case is nice and all, but I've been waiting for their extended convert case. I enjoyed it on my thunderbolt It's much more rugged and hiker friendly.
