After what seems like months of waiting I managed to get hold of a genuine Samsung Galaxy S3 extended battery kit today. The back cover feels better than the original. Here is the review
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBJUj-ZgpTo&feature=youtu.be
At least being genuine you know the extra 900mAh are really there.
Any questions or feedback are more than welcome
Can you tell us where you ordered from?

Amazon does that a lot. One time I ordered something and it said they would ship when it's back in stock. You'd assume that would be a couple days a week and then they would ship it. So 3 months later I asked them about the memory card I didn't get. They said I could wait or get a refund. LULZ AMAZON.
Just to report back on the first full charge I got 2 days medium use and still had 14% left as I put it on charge last night.
If you can kill one of these in a day then you need to use your phone less :silly:
Mine from Amazon is now reported as shipped but still on the SpaceX Dragon capsule. Re-entry scheduled between 3/28 - 4/10. I also heard from seller. Although in USA they launch from UK. Does give me a whole month for someone to develop and make armor for it.

Great question, I am curious myself. I think for now a bumper will work (as long as its flexible material), but curious about what others might be doing to protect the new back cover (god knows if you will ever be able to order a replacement from Samsung easily)

I've tried a walnutt bumper and it doesn't fit. I tried that bumper with a metal replacement back and it fitted so this extended battery is going to need specially designed cases. Shame as it's took so long to come out and manufacturers will be thinking about the s4

Anyone that HAS this battery how much more hours does this battery offer to the phone at idle and at talking time?
Is there any flip case that can fir this extend 3000mah battery for s3?
And that battery is for i9300 & i9305 or it has different battery's?
Got my genuine battery from Amazon today. It was a third party Amazon fulfillment seller.

I'm not sure if it was new and genuine though, the packaging looked tampered with and there is no water damage sticker. I will report back on battery life though. My own math days the battery should last about 25 percent longer given the 900 mah size increase.
The plus is its not ugly like the other extended batteries, looks like a slightly thicker s3, almost like it was designed to be this way.

Or is there an extended battery that is better than the 2100mAh, that doesn't need the special backing?

I havent seen the extended battery in any other colours besides pebble blue and marble white yet, im looking for the titanium grey myself..im using the white cover right now :/
take look here for better batteries that do fit the normal backcover
I got one 2 weeks ago at Samsung store for 49.90 $.
My mobile is grey so I bought the new cover in black.
With the same usage the 3000 mah battery gives me about 20 hours life, the stock battery about 12.
Charging time 4 hours(stock kernel).

How much extra life do you get with this Ebay Chinese extended battery? I am wanting one bad, because when I use my phone the battery drains so quickly. When just sitting there in standby it last a long time, but sometimes I like to just lay back on the couch and play games, music, surf the internet or do many other things with my phone. If anyone will post their experience with these Chinese batteries, I would very much appreciate it. I don't trust any of the reviews on the site from OP.
I got it!
I got 2 batteries, 2 back covers and wall/usb charger of this same battery off of Ebay a couple of weeks ago for $29.99 plus $7 shipping. They were working good on Myn release #3 pretty well as they reached max conditioning. I have got almost 30 hours with 4 to 5 hours of uptime. Now trying to finalize my setup of Myn #4 so I can get same performance.

They work great!! They really are just as good as the Seidio. There is a LONG thread on AndroidForums. Some people have both the Seidio battery and the ebay battery, and say that they last an equal amount of time. As far as how long it will last you, that all depends on how you use it (as I'm sure you know). With light use mine will easily go over 30 hours up time and with heavy use I can still get 15 hours up time with 7 hours awake time. FWIW, GPS and mobile data are on 100% of the time on my phone and bluetooth and wifi also run a good bit with the occasional 4G. YMMV

damn, turns one of the nicest slim phones around into a brick.
can't they up the mAh without making it so huge?
I'll wait for a Mugen that doesn't require a bigger back. I had a Mugen for my palm pre and it was fantastic. It wasn't a huge boost but it lasted a few hours longer.
I'd rather keep a charged and ready to go 2nd battery on me for when or if it's needed rather than deal with that kind of added bulk. That's one of the 3 primary reasons we all bought this phone other than the fact its Android based.
1. The screen is big and drop dead gorgeous
2. Its fast as hell
3. Its THIN as hell
I wouldn't give up reasons 1 or 2 any more than I would 3.
P.S. Re reading this I don't mean it to sound like a thread crap. I'm sure there are some users out there who are jumping on this, so thanks for bringing it to their attention.
I don't need the extra bulk. This is the solution I would consider. Comes with a Samsung battery:

Update
Update on my experience with this case. I already tore the leather for the flip front cover, so to me that part is poorly made. I simply cut it off since I didn't want to see that tear all the time. On Saturday upon receiving this case I fully charged both my phone and the case and started using them both around 4 PM. With normal use for me the case died today around 10 AM and I have been running off of the phone battery every since.
I can't say that I'm going to use this case every day as it makes the phone a little bulkier than I would like, but for me, this case will come in handy more often than not. Overall, I am happy with my purchase thus far with the exception of the tear. We will see how it does after several charging cycles.
I'm not too much of a fan of flip cases. They conform you to use the device as a book or in landscape orientation. If they made a version that would flip upward like a traditional paper note pad as opposed to off to the side. definitely buy it if one was made like that. I wish mophie would make their charging cases for the note 2.

Just find a possible price mistake from Amazon. the Black color of MoKo Nexus 7 FHD Ultra Slim SmartCover is $0.99 while other colors are $5.99
both need to pay $4.98 for shipping
For $5.97 shipped. I do believe is a good deal for whatever quality from Amazon. And I did use MoKo for my Nexus 7 and iPad 3rd Gen, not bad.
Link :good:
I picked up a few colors today to maximize shipping. Moko has some decent prices on screen protectors for larger tablets. I got two for 6 bucks and I'm going to cut them down to fit my Nexus 7.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
It is a good price, but I don't think it is a price mistake. They have been constantly adjusting pricing on different models cases over the last few days.
The other case people were looking at went from $3.99 to $.99 to $.01 and now is back at $.99. This is also with the black color only.
I'm guessing they are just doing promotions to get as many of the early customers as they can.
I ordered 2 different MoKo cases 99 cents each. My order total on Amazon for the 2 cases and shipping was 8.45 but they took 40$ out of my bank account. I sent an email to the seller I'm not sure if I missed some fine print but that's shady.
Thanks, ordered a couple for me and the wife.
I really want something that works better with the wireless charging down the road, but for now, it's good to have something. Thanks!

If it is BSCstore you are talking about, all my purchases had the correct temporary auths on the credit card and the charges came from amazon rather than BSCstore. I don't know how it works with bank accounts.
I ordered them through Amazon and nothing happened, hope they are as good as their prices :x

I'm not defending them because this will be my first purchase, but they have a 4.8/5 rating with almost 40k votes. Do you think it's possible you have malware on your computer that intercepted your financial info? We're the charges specifically done by them on your statement? You may have a broader issue.
Payment is managed by amazon only.. Its amazon who charges the card.. Store vendors do not have access to credit card information.. And even if something goes wrong customers are protected under amazon's A-Z guarantee.

Just an fyi for everyone. I was able to purchase 3 of their new nexus 7 cases (@99 cents a piece) for $11 shipped. Too good to pass up in my book. :good:
I emailed them asking them for a price adjustment since I bought at $3.99 and they said they would refund the $3 once the item ships and the initial charge goes through.

I used the Moko on the original N7 and LOVE it. I still have my N7 along with my new N7 and ordered this case immediatly when I saw it was .99c. Also grabbed an orange one for 2.99. IMO, worth the cost. The only difference I see in the images is the little flap on the back of it for when you want to have it in the propped up position. The original didn't have that flap and I wish it did. Propping it up before wasn't very sturdy. I think it'll go over much better this way.

They were looking into exchanging until I decided to go for the full refund. Even with a refund, you can just purchase a different one and keep the old one.

It's not stained with ink. These cases stain from the dyes in your pockets transferring to the case.
I called and told Google my case was starting to discolor around the edges and received a refund.
I was refunded for my grey case as it stained inside a day. They didn't argue at all, refunded and told me to keep the case. Pity only the black bumper would actually be usable for real world usage.

Hi everyone. Thanks for responding to my distress. I placed my order for the case on Nov 27 2013. Do u think I could still get a refund now? I saw some of u mentioning abt a one year warranty. I bought the phone and case on separate transaction from Google play.
I was able to contact their customer support and get a refund in the span of about 30 min, which is nice since it has been getting pretty noticable recently. It is to bad as i like the colored cases a lot. Maybe ill just use this one getting discolored for a few months then have a bright red one again in 3-5 months.

Yes, call them or better yet use the website and let them call you back. Just tell them what happened and that the case started to stain and has become unusable and unsightly that while you would expect a light coloured TPU case to get dirty eventually that this case is clearly not fit for purpose as it stained so soon. That the case is at a premium price and that as a result you would expect a premium product which you clearly do not have...they will give you a refund or exchange...if you want/like the black go for that, I dont think any of the others will hold their colour...so if you dont like the black - take the money and run.

Pretty sure they're fake
I'm having a similar problem with mine. Is it happening to all of you only around the edges that are flexible or on the backside too?
