I work directly with China's largest manufacturer of Extended batteries. They finished the AT&T Samsung Vibrant for T-Mobile and I've sold a bunch already with 100% feedback on Ebay. Userid is kevinjmoore. Unfortunately, they don't want to make a mold for the Captivate because they don't think there is enough demand in the USA to warrant it. To prove them wrong, I am trying to generate interest so that I can pay for the door mold charge and have them produce a bunch. The battery is the same as the Vibrant so that part is done. It is a 2800maH, which is nearly double the capacity and does last more than twice as long as stock--I know, I have the phone. Please email me at kevinjmoore at gmail dot com to get more details and help us get this rolling. I've reviewed all the forums out there and battery life is definitely one of the top issues. The rubberized door feel is awesome and it doesn't add a bunch of thickness to the phone like you think it might. Total production time is 20-25 days. My price will be at most $40 incl shipping. I may bring it down if demand is high enough. I will need a minimum of 50% fully refundable deposit. If I don't get enough demand in 30 days, I'll refund completely (less $0.30 Paypal fee). Please forward this, tweet this, facebook this and let's get this thing done My communication and customer service is second to none. We are building a US based website that will be up in 2 weeks detailing the over 35 other phones/extended batteries and hundreds of accessories (including IPAD and IPHONE) that we carry.

There is no way I would do that to my captivate. Just make a battery that fits in the factory space that has a 25% more power and i would be happy.

I would do it in a second for double the life are you kidding me! As long as the back cover had some sort of style to it.
unfortunately I'm gonna wait for the seidio 3000mah extended battery.

Ewwwww...
That looks fugly as hell... I would get 2 extra OEMs w/ desktop charger instead...
Doesn't look horrid for the Vibrant. But the Captivate? Yea.. look like a damn camel hump or a hemorrhoid on the back of my phone. No thanks.
I had one on my Dream and other than being somewhat a nuisance for carrying cases/belt clips it was well worth it. In fact it worked so well I sold it to my buddy who had a dream when I switched to the captivate. He loves the damn thing cause he can use his phone all day long now without having to charge it.
I am a someone who prefers function over cosmetics. If it works better but is uglier wtf cares? When was the last time you looked at the back of your phone and was like wow- that sure is purdy You don't interact with the back of your phone. Also with the back being rubberized I would find it easier to rest on my shoulder during long tech calls with clients as I dont use bluetooth headsets. Just this morning I almost dropped my cap as it slipped from my hand getting out of the car- luckily I caught it, but still with the rubber this is less likely to happen. Again.. function over form all day all long.
I carry mine in my pocket. I like the captivate because it's thin. If I need to I'll carry spare battery before I double the thickness of the phone...I'm just sayin'
Mike
if i had the battery i could make the dies. are you looking to make a plastic cover or stamp an aluminum one?
anyway it would be nice to have on hand for trips or events where i dont know how long i will go without a charger. i dont think i would walk around with that in my pocket but it would be nice to have one available for occasional use and there are plenty of people that have come around here complaining about horrid battery life. i find the battery life quite good and in an every day environment you can always plan around it but obviously some people want more or just like to complain.
If I traveled, I would be all over this. Unfortunately, the $9 2-pack of batteries with wall charger on eBay just doesn't makes this as economical when I can just reach over and pop in a fresh battery and have the old one start charging.
It adds a "WHOPPING" 6 mm to the phone (not even 1/4"). I gave it to my friend to hold and he said he actually liked the feel better with the door that way. It felt more stable and fit perfectly to how you cradle your phone. The door is better than stock and fits easily in your pocket. It is NOT bulky at all. To not have to charge your phone every 7 or 8 hours if you are a moderate to heavy user is so worth it. I can't imagine not having it or carrying around 2 or 3 batteries all the time.
It is 6mm extra on an 11 mm phone (about 50% thicker for double capacity). It's a no-brainer.
i think you'd sell them but i think this might not be the right forum for it, the less than enthused response doesn't mean that people who travel aren't looking for something like this, it just means that we dont have that many people on the forum looking for this. are you getting feedback on your ebay store asking for it?
Email me at kevinjmoore at gmail to discuss.
Correct me if I am wrong but...
Isn't our metal back plate aid in reception? I thought the antenna was in direct contact with the back plate. Seems to me that a big piece of plastic holding in a big battery would give us signal loss...

no it appears to be grounded not an antenna but i could be wrong i dont know much about cell antenna design. there are two contacts and one goes to the metal chassis indirectly through a shiny plating on the back of the plastic housing. the other goes to the board but i didn't trace it to tell if it went to the points that contact the chassis and plastic cover, electronics today can be difficult trace.
i know some antennas form a loop and it can very well be an antenna but i find that my phone works fin with the battery door removed. also there is no reason a new batery door cant be stamped from aluminum. or lined with aluminum tape.
I assume that you can't have a battery like this and use a case like the Body Glove Mirage? Are there alternative cases that will work with a battery like this?
A better solution would be a silicone case with a pocket for a spare battery. Carry it when you need to and switch when you need to.
a picture (if you have a functional unit) would be a lot helpful...

From my experience with the BG Mirage + the specs provided by the OP, its a definite No. Not with 6mm (50% thicker) but i would applaud anyone who would try it. Who knows, it might actually work out. Now if only Otterbox cases work with ANY extended batteries..........then I am ALL OVER IT.

Don't think I'd buy one of the above.. look, no antennae contacts!
The hd mini must use a different antennae design than the aria.
Here's one from a top rated seller on ebay.
It says it's for the Aria but there aren't any photos of the inside to show the antenae prongs so can't be sure.

Sorry, fail on my part.
I must have gotten this thread confused with another asking about replacing the back cover for a phone that someone recently purchased.
Im looking to replace the battery door on my aria as well. After using for little over a month it seems the oem back has become a little loose and is no longer as rigid as when first purchased. Ideally I'd like to find something carbon fiber with a high modulus of elasticity and shear modulus that is also light weight. I'm looking for functionality over aesthetics; I just want the thing to be stiff as a brick, literal, though the added benifit of a flashy weave would be nice as well. This seems like wishful thinking but if anyone knows of anything along these lines please let me know.

I'd like to find something transparent to show off that awesome ferrari yellow.
Possibility?
The guy at Icy Cell has made a mold of his Evo and
then made several colors of clear cases. My thought
is that if we could get 20-30 people who wanted a
clear back at ~$15 a pop plus shipping it might be worth
his while, know what I mean.
just google Icy Cell....
Hope I didn't break any rules in my post, haven't seen a group buy
on here before but thought this was a perfect opportunity
Of course we'd have to figure out how to make an antenna
This was posted in the General Aria section, but it doesn't specify if the cover includes the antenna or not. I have sent a question to the seller asking and will post back with results.

I posted this in another thread. but it doesnt look like the antenna is included.
-----------------------------
Dear XXX,
ARIA Battery cover's are to include a built in Antenna and Volume Rocker.
The cover will not work without an antenna, and seems to be an issue with
many of these covers.
Does this cover include an antenna?

Well, it does two things.
Firstly, it mentions the Aria a few times, which you already figured out. Secondly, it provides an easy-to-click link for others to see what they were talking about in the previous post about Icy Cell.
When I first read the icy cell post I was thinking "Gee, why didn't he just include the link? After all, this is the first tangible reference we've had to a clear back for the phone, or one of its siblings." It'd be pretty neat if we could convince the icy cell guy to make a clear back for it. I think it's a great idea!
Okay, I see... does anyone know if the EVO has its antenna in the back cover like the Aria does? I'm thinking we are pretty unlikely to see any aftermarket covers for the Aria since it will be too difficult for most companies to manufacture inexpensively.
HTC Aria back cover
i just received a battery cover for my aria from ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Battery-cover-H...ccessories&hash=item45f704e1ec#ht_1676wt_1048
and I can confirm that this does not have the antenna, nor the volume rockers. It also has a few protruding pieces of plastic which prevent the cover from being flush with the phone
in other words, don't bother getting one of these
Has anyone came across any armbands for GN?
Will SGS2 ones fit our phones?
I tried a Belkin SII armband, didn't fit at all. Too short and struggled to take it out... Will keep looking.
I found this site - http://www.iarmbands.com/Arm-Band-Armband-for-Google-Galaxy-Nexus-CAB-nexus.htm
But sort of looks a little dodge
& there is also this one - http://docteur-gsm.com/en/samsung-galaxy-nexus/9461-Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-armband.html
I'm also interested in this. Saw a few on ebay.com and Amazon, but I am always a bit wary to buy from these sellers, especially when they claim a GN fit but have an iPhone or the like in the stock image.
I am interested in this as well.
thanks

I am looking too...
A problem I see with most Armbands is the position of the headphonejack which is on the bottom on the Galaxy Nexus.
Fitting wise when I checked dimensions of different phones the Desire HD armbands should fit.
Desire HD = 68mm height
Galaxy Nexus = 67.94
So I'm gonna try the Desire HD one from igadgitz.com
It also has the jack on the bottom...

Yep, that's the one he claimed fit his Gnex just like his previous Droid X. He said he thought it fit because the Gnex is thinner than the Droid X.

yes plz do!!
I have been speaking with someone at Tune Belt about their products for the GN and I got this response today:
Hi Adam,
I just got back from the Verizon store and this phone fit into AB84 pretty nicely. The AB84 has to stretch a bit to fit the length of the Nexus. There's a bit of extra depth even with AB84 but it is not too bad. AB85 is way too big.
Best regards,
Richard

So I think I will be buying one here shortly and I will let you know my experience. For reference, here is the product link: http://www.tunebelt.com/ab84
nice, thanks for the info!
Might have to try the TuneBelt product...
I got the same reply from Tunebelt, AB84. Said it's at the limits in length, but the headphone jack lines up nicely.
I have a suggested mod for any of the tunebelt products. The attached pics are from their waistband, but will easily work with the others as well. I don't trust velcro, and because the GN is slightly larger than other phones...even more so. I've used this belt for my OG Droid as well as my HTC Thunderbolt, but ain't takin' chances on this gorgeous new phone.
For $2 at Walmart, you can grab a kit of (I think 8) snap buttons. Very easy to install. You can do it right through the velcro, or use a sharp blade and shave the velcro patches right off/out (less to push through). Line up your rivets,etc on each side of the material and just tap with a hammer on a hard surface. Easy peasy.
LOVE it and don't have to worry about velcro coming undone and my phone flying down the street

I have the tunebelt from my Droid X and it fits, but the problem with almost all of these armbands is that the plastic cover never sits flush on the screen. Thus, the issue is that changing tracks or checking the phone is just all the more difficult while running, etc. Belkin made a great armband for the iPhone 3 (sister's) that sits very flush to the screen. I wish they had a SGN version.
Anyway, keeps us posted on iarmbands product. Would love to hear specifically how the clear plastic skin sits against the SGN screen. Thx.
Recently went to best buy and was looking for arm band case and found this:
[I am not allowed to post the link until I have 8 posts according to forum rules, but if you go to bestbuy.c*m and search for "Rocketfish arm band android" It will locate the product for you]
Although a 'generic' case, it actually fits the Galaxy Nexus (Verizon) pretty well (nice and snug) and the headphone jack lines up with the cutout. I also found it relatively easy to navigate the screen while in the case.
Just though this might help anyone looking for arm band case.
I'm looking for a good book/diary/wallet style case for my new T-Mobile Galaxy SII. Something like the BookBook case for the iPhone:
http://twelvesouth.com/products/bookbook_iphone/
or this case for the international Galaxy SII:
http://www.bizwinkorea.com/tablet-p...ine-leather-diary-wallet-type-case-cover.html
I'd kinda want it to look like a leatherbound book, but that's not as important as it actually being leather. I do want it to have pockets opposite where the phone sits to hold money, cards, etc.
Anyone seen anything like this?
None? Nobody's seen anything like this?
Honestly bro I looked high and low for a case like this and it just isn't out yet. There's an OEM product called "Samsung d30 t989 leather slip cover" coming out sometime in the next few months that can be found with Google if you search the quoted phrase. The one case I found like what your asking turned out to be an incompetent eBay seller labeling **** for the international gs2 like it would work for ours.

eeeewwwwww.......
i don't like those cases, yes, they have their good uses, but... not my type
i can see many scenario and situation when & where i might want to use one, but it's not worth the cost
just search for something similar, you don't need an exact fit for those type of cases, look for another phone with similar size spec, and find it
any updates on this case?

I guess, given that there's no hole on the back for camera or speakers, it should work just fine. I don't know how much different our phone is from the original GS2.
Still, at $40, I guess I'd like to hear from someone who has my phone and has bought the case.
I emailed the seller and asked for some pics of the actual item. I'm sure it's an i9100, but here ya go. Looks nice none the less. I may pick one up.
I axially bought one of these and I really like it. It doesn't line up with the holes for the touch buttons perfectly, but my x-acto took care of that easily. Seems to be pretty good quality. I've been using it for about a month.
I found this case on Amazon. It was described as the Onite Black Ash TPU Case and is intended for GS3s with the extended battery. I really liked it because it had a wide lip around the screen, looked fairly thick, and had a wedge-shaped section on the inside that filled in the recessed area around the camera on my back cover (I'm running the EZOPower extended battery). I thought that filling the recessed area with extra rubber would look good and give a little more shock protection. I also looked at the Onite extended battery and the back cover was identical to mine. I ordered it, thinking I had found the perfect case..
...and this is what I was sent!
Unfortunately, the case sent had little resemblance to the one I ordered. The pics below are of the one they sent. Hmm...different color, thinner construction, definitely seem flimsier, and transparent. I thought I was ordering what looked like a well-built and sturdy case, but received a flimsy, generic case that I could probably find on eBay for $1.99.
I thought they might have sent the wrong one by mistake, but the package was clearly labeled with the proper description. Bummer! I think I'm the victim of a bait and switch. Now I'm running a generic Hyperion clone. Does anyone know of another source for a case like the one I originally ordered? I've tried googling it, but no luck.:crying:
Have you emailed the seller? Looks nothing like the first one
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi
I just found this Case just 5 minutes ago may be it can change your mind and buy this kind of case also. Elements Case Eclipse
No, I didn't bother to e-mail the seller. If it was labeled differently, then I'd think it was a mistake. But the label on the packaging clearly stated that this was supposed to be the one I ordered. I did a little digging, thinking that a mistake could have been made at the manufacturer and then saw that the company that sold it to me owned the Onite trademark. I'm going to get my money back.
I like the looks of the Element case, but I need something that will accommodate an extended battery. So far the Hyperion is the best one I've found. I'm going to keep looking. Eventually I'll find one I really like.

Hi, I ordered the Onite Black Ash TPU Case for a Samsung GS3. I based my choice on the pictures and description shown - solid color, wedge-shaped area on inside to fill in recessed camera area of Onite extended battery cover, wide lip at front, etc (See pics Ordered1, 2, and 3). The case I got was completely different from the one I ordered. The case I received is mostly transparent, much flimsier, and lacks the filled-in section (see pics Received1 and 2). Was I sent the wrong case, or are your description and photos completely different from the actual product?
I am returning the case for a refund, but if you tell me that I received the wrong item by mistake, I will place another order.
Thanks,
Joe Gonzalez
============================================
Dear Joseph,
Thank you for contacting us with the problem and sorry to hear that you got the wrong products.
Since the order is fullfilledd by amazon, we would like to figure out the problem. We are afraid that amazon send the wrong products. First, we stopped selling the listing. Second, we will contact amazon and check the inventory for us.
Once we figure out the problem, we will get back to you. Since you have asked a refund, we are really helpless on this. Sorry again for the inconvenience we caused to you,
Yours
Samera
===========================================
So it looks like a mistake was made, but they are trying to set things right.
I admit that I did leave a pissed off, but politely worded, review on Amazon at first, but I figured it would be better deleting it and giving them a chance at fixing it. Hopefully they will resolve the issue and let me know. I didn't want to do an exchange at first because 1) I was disappointed and 2) I didn't want to get the same thing again. I figure that this way if they resolve the issue, I can reorder and if they don't, I won't go through the hassle of returning a product twice.
Thanks to 1slow4G for prodding me in the right direction! I'm usually pretty understanding about issues like this, but I was pumped up at finding this case and really bummed when I got the wrong one and thought that they thought they sent me the wrong one but mislabeled it so I would think it was the right one. Now maybe they will find out that Amazon sent me the wrong one thinking it was the right one instead of them sending me the wrong one and trying to convince me that it was the right one. Then the one that I thought was the wrong one but labeled the right one will turn out to really be the wrong one and I can return it and get the right one! :fingers-crossed:

The case I got was completely different from the one I ordered. The case I received is mostly transparent, much flimsier, and lacks the filled-in section (see pics Received1 and 2). Was I sent the wrong case, or are your description and photos completely different from the actual product?
I am returning the case for a refund, but if you tell me that I received the wrong item by mistake, I will place another order.
Thanks,
Joe Gonzalez

Dear Joseph,
Thank you for contacting us with the problem and sorry to hear that you got the wrong products.
Since the order is fullfilledd by amazon, we would like to figure out the problem. We are afraid that amazon send the wrong products. First, we stopped selling the listing. Second, we will contact amazon and check the inventory for us.
Once we figure out the problem, we will get back to you. Since you have asked a refund, we are really helpless on this. Sorry again for the inconvenience we caused to you,
Yours
Samera

So it looks like a mistake was made, but they are trying to set things right.
I admit that I did leave a pissed off, but politely worded, review on Amazon at first, but I figured it would be better deleting it and giving them a chance at fixing it. Hopefully they will resolve the issue and let me know. I didn't want to do an exchange at first because 1) I was disappointed and 2) I didn't want to get the same thing again. I figure that this way if they resolve the issue, I can reorder and if they don't, I won't go through the hassle of returning a product twice.
Thanks to 1slow4G for prodding me in the right direction! I'm usually pretty understanding about issues like this, but I was pumped up at finding this case and really bummed when I got the wrong one and thought that they thought they sent me the wrong one but mislabeled it so I would think it was the right one. Now maybe they will find out that Amazon sent me the wrong one thinking it was the right one instead of them sending me the wrong one and trying to convince me that it was the right one. Then the one that I thought was the wrong one but labeled the right one will turn out to really be the wrong one and I can return it and get the right one! :fingers-crossed:

Thats the first thing i do when i recieve an incorrect item. They usually resend a replacement or refund it and they still le me keep the item lol. Of course depends if its expensive then yeah u have to return it.
