It's been out for weeks
My apologies, I meant out as available to order directly from otterbox.com.
The product was previously shown as "Coming Soon" from their site.
Just got my confirmation email from Otterbox last night 8)
Wonder if it will be too bulky for an already semi bulky phone?

Does it work with the car or media dock?
Sorry mate not sure, i wont get the dock, car mount or otterbox case untill a reliable source in Aus gets these for me which will be months away.
The Dock has a removable base that the phone sits in so I would probably think it should fit, I remember some1 else having some snap on cover for the D3 which worked in the Media Dock. Not sure about the car dock tho.

Does anybody know if the OtterBox can be used with the extended battery? Also, does it make the phone REALLY bulky? How's the top row of the keyboard?
I was expecting chunkier, but I think I'd still rather use my phone "naked"

You got it to fit with the extended battery? I received my Otterbox earlier today and I can't seem to get it.
Just got the Otterbox today and I can confirm it does fit with an extended battery. However the battery, which also came today, is a cheapo 2200mAh from amazon. It a bit bigger than the standard not sure if its the same size as the extended. I use it with the standard back and is not bulging out. Hopefully this is an extended and not labeled incorrectly.
[edit] This battery is not getting hot while charging. Its 77 and the standard it usually over 100. Though it may be misreported.
Let me know how the battery does compared to the stock! Mainly if its lasting longer than it or if the cheap batttery isn't worth the money.

Well the battery's not likely 2200mAh. It gets about the same life as the stock 1500. Still worth the 5 bucks I paid. It's GTMax brand if anyone's interested.
I'm kind of mad I bought the shell/holster they offered, thing's great. But, this looks badass, lol.

The vzw holster is crap as far as i'm concerned. When I got a replacement for a vibrate motor problem I noticed how the new one was much more sturdy when sliding out the keyboard. The case caused it to come loose. The clip near the back of the front camera is too tall and the screen pulled upwards.
Decided to take off the battery cover and see how it fits in the Otterbox. There's no problems it even feels a bit smaller almost as though there's no case on the back. Even tried dropping it from about a foot to see if the battery or sim or sdcard would fall out, didn't move at all. So there should be no problem with an extended battery. Someone at androidforums cut the battery cover to make the extended battery fit. Doesn't sound like a very good idea but I guess it's another option.
Hmm. I have no issues with the vzw one *knock on wood* and its on my hip all day. I have bumped into a few doors at work directly on it (as well as some stupid people in the metro) its held its ground so far.

Nice. Just wish they had it in
The OtterBox case can be found on amazon for around $25 shipped, it's well worth it. Best case I ever had for a phone. I got it to work with the Motorola extended battery, I just modified the stock battery cover with a dremel and alot of patience.
How much was actually 'shaved'? Did it go through the cover all the way and expose the insides at all?

Oh yeah almost the whole battery is exposed, but the inside of the otter box is silicon and it seal everything up and holds it tight. The original battery cover sacrificed his life so that I could use my extended battery. I still have the extended battery cover if I ever choose to take off the ottterbox. There's a thread at droidforums.net that I posted pics and all in.
does anyone know if the one for the at&t version will work with the tmo version of the phone ???

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.
anyone knows more about this charging case? btw looks sick...never seen one before...any help will be appreciated thanks...

the case has a 4000mah battery in it( so they claim)
what iv found. my phone lasts 24-27 hours with the stock battery.
with the case fully charged and pre cycled,
i get 48-52 total hours of phone on time.
it does work
things to note,
the button to turn the device on, is very touchy and can turn it self on while in your pocket (or off)
the case is big bulky and silly looking
the usb at the bottom where the phone plugs into is not the best nor sturdiest
for 15 shipped, ill take it

thats the one i got. i received it a few days ago. as i said, it works brilliantly, but its on the big side. and the front flap thing sucks so much i just had to cut it off. the button i speak of is on the back, its a light press to activate and its quite easy to press
I have it. It works really well for what it is.
I use it when I'm going to be in meetings taking notes all day. It's not my day to day case but it's great for those days when you're away from outlets and will be using the phone heavily. Although it does add some girth, its really not that bad....especially compared with the alternative being a notebook or full sized tablet.
That being said, I wouldn't pay the asking price ($100 is way too much).
example - last night, my cat thought it would be great if she unplugged my note2 from the charger. I woke with 13% left on the battery. i put my case on and walked out the door for work at 630 am. its now 720am and im at 41% and climbing. (whilst connected to my Bluetooth watch and running Pandora). By 9am i should be 90% or higher and can leave the case in the car for the rest of the day or throw it on the charger to use later tonight or when ever i should need it.

Are you talking about the case in the OP? Because that link will answer your question. If so, where'd you get yours?
I bought Anker 6200mAh Extended Battery after reading the reviews someone made on here. When I got the battery I put the cover on it and one of the pieces snapped off. So It doesn't stay on. I emailed the company, they told me to send it back for a refund. It would have cost me more to send it back than it actually cost. So I said screw it.
I might going to be going on a long trip pretty soon and would like to use the extended battery but need a new back cover. Does anyone know where to buy JUST the cover for cheap? Or does anyone have an extra they'd be willing to sell cheap? Please let me know. Thanks.

supposedly otterbox cases are big enough to use in place of a battery cover for extended batteries.
some people have been using then with zero lemon batteries.
Just to be clear. The Otterbox Defender can be used BUT it needs to be cut to fit any extended batteries.
Do a search for Hyperion Battery Cover on Amazon for the Note 2 if an extended battery cover is all you need.
some people use the seidio active extended case with that anker battery.

Hey, what happened to our plan about dissing Mugen? lol!!!
Here is what I would recommend, for $8+ shipped you get a new battery cover (looks like NFC is in the picture, or you can re-use yours if its not included), and you also get extended battery with it as well - http://www.ebay.com/itm/B171-NEW-65..._Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item27cbe1492c I can't voucher for ebay batteries, they all crap and this could be only 4500 mAh or maybe 6000 mAh, but either way you get a new battery door replacement and a bonus battery for $8. Then, for $5 get this TPU case with a kickstand for your extended battery/cover: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Black-S...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item416ee5228d - yes, its a copy of Hyperion TPU case but for $5 who cares. So, for under $14 shipped you get a battery cover (with or without NFC, not sure), a battery (although could be questionable capacity), and TPU case with a kickstand (kickstand could be on a flimsy side, but you will get a good tpu grip and some drop protection for your phone).
How about asking Anker to sell you just a battery cover? Usually these companies are good and will most likely ship you one for little to no fee. Try their CS again maybe you just did not get the right person.

I could be wrong, but I was under impression they are discontinuing their 6200 mAh battery. But either way, you got 18-months warranty. Not sure how it works with warranty in this case since you didn't receive it broken and it wasn't a defect covered under warranty, but you can always ask them and even offer to buy it. Even if part is discontinued, under warranty they will keep spare parts for at least a year to cover any claims in that period of time. My experience of dealing with Anker was very positive.
I have an unused anker battery cover since I'm using the defender mod. Not sure how to get it to you though.

See there is a flaw with this especially for Sprint Users. I had also contacted them and I had even shown some pictures to them to prove to the fact that there are flaws with that battery.
One of the latches however does not connect fully. And to be honest the better life wasn't that great which is sad seeing how all my other Anker batteries were much better. The problem with Sprint is that we don't have the sim card so the geometry of the inside or architecture is a little different compared to Verizon, AT&T and T Mobile. If you had noticed the battery doesn't sit flush like it should if you check on Amazon you will have noticed my review that has mentioned that as well as somebody else. But I think it's funny that they told you you have to ship it I bought it off of Amazon and went through the customer service and was able to get it replaced free of charge which basically meant that they sent me another battery and back cover. I had taken pictures of that one as well, simple because I had the same issue and they actually refunded it. And I forgot to mention that I didn't buy the extended battery at first I had bought the original 3100 OEM. I told him I had a battery problem with the 3100 and had asked him to replace it with the 6200 cause it had cost the same at the time.

Looks tempting. I have an Anker 2nd Gen Astro 6000mAh (2A Output) External Battery Pack and an i-Blason case with a kickstand, yet I think I'd love to have this one. Another link for it:

Too bad the output current is just 800 mAh, when the phone can handle 2A.
Looks ok but I'm gonna wait on mophie to make one, have played with a friend's S4 that had a mophie and it was nice. Just hope that mophie adds at least a 1.5 amp charge in to the case and to the phone.

Is Mophie making one for the M8? I hadn't heard anything about it. I know they made a solid one for the M7, though.

I emailed them and they said they have no plans right now. But they said the same thing about my friends galaxy.

you guys do realize most of these battery/ battery case come from china right? just like MUGEN battery. For all you know they are probably from the same factory, make the battery and then just slap on the sticker and you're paying extra for it.
I like this case/battery combo. However, from the pictures it looks like the case offers absolutely no protection for the screen. It would be nice if there was at least a raised lip to keep the screen safe.
Seems like it would be extremely inconvenient to have to remove the case and charge the phone and case separately.
I've never had one of these 'charge' cases before.. Is that the normal operation?

When I had my G2 with a Zerolemon battery case it would charge the phone before the case. The only thing I didn't like a out it was a 1 amp into the case and phone, then when you click the button to charge the phone it was a 1 amp output to the phone. So you really can't use the phone and charge at the same time. like you can when you use a wall charger, other than that it was ok and the bulk didn't bother me at all. I have 3 friends that have Mophie cases ( HTC One m7, galaxy s4 and a iPhone 5) they like the cases, I just hope they make one for the M8 I'd love to buy one.

Awesome! Doesn't look to bad. This phone doesn't need it so much as my nexus 5 did but still awesome to have this option

I know this is a dead thread but whatever. I am picking up the case tomorrow. Really excited hopefully this will be better than zerolemon case for nexus 5. I will review this when I get a chance

Just got the case today so far it seems really nice. It does add some bulk and to some might seem as a brick. Coming from Nexus 5 zero lemon this is "thin" for me.
The case looks nice and despite it's plastic feels more premium than I expected. Maybe it has more to do with the weight than the material.
Protection wise I am a little nervous. The edges appear to be protected but the edges are exposed leading me to believe that it's more prone to damage such as cracks and dings. I expect the aluminum on the edges to be dinged up using this case.
Charging wise this thing is nice. It came with with 3 charging lights indicating it was roughly .75% charged. It died after 2 hours however left me with an almost completely charged phone. Mind you I was charging with GPS and screen on. On the zerolemon battery would drain(not charge if I were use GPS and screen on even if battery was charged. The insctructions state that you can charge both phone and battery. The phone would charge phone first and then battery. On the zerolemon it charges both at a a god awful snails pace.
One huge benefit of this case is how easy it is to install, just slides right in. So if your like me and clumsy you can put on the case as needed and use you other case as needed.
Packaging was also nice, It looked similar to how the m8 came in a box except instead of cardboard came in plastic. Will upload pictures and give a more detailed review after I had it for a few days.
All in all after owning it for a few hours I can say I recommend this case

Noticed it here for $20: http://www.amazon.com/Aufine-3200ma...8&qid=1403191603&sr=8-69&keywords=htc+m8+case
And here: http://www.amazon.com/3200mAh-Porta...=UTF8&qid=1403191949&sr=8-5&keywords=m8+power
Reviews here are concerning: http://www.amazon.com/LK-3200mAh-Ex...r_1_23_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1
Looks identical.
I had ordered one as well and had issues with it not holding a charge and only charging about 20% with what it did have. Contacted seller for a replacement, which they never requested the original back(wierd), and the replacement had the exact same problem. Returning them and waiting for an official case to come out.
So far have had nothing but positive experience. I am wondering if these are the same product I bought from mobile fun. If have issues I will report. So far is my only complaint is lack of protection. It charges surprisingly fast when charging it says it's charging AC in the battery stats. Fits like a glove and easy to take out and put back in

The review for the last one is not the same as the one I ordered for instance it doesn't have lightning night nor do I think they carry a white case. The other 2 look identical
