Looking for the same thing. Any options out there?

I'm using the zerolemon with the official life proof case now. The added thickness isn't enough to affect the case.

The Zerolemon doesn't have NFC correct?

Correct. I don't use NFC so it doesn't bother me.

I'm guessing i'll end up getting the Anker then due to the NFC and reviews, but still i'm open to some more opnions/options from other members.
Thanks.

I think he is looking for the best option for a battery that fits in the stock door so he can use the Lifeproof case. I am having the same issue. What is the best battery life out there for this situation?

I'm using the zerolemon w/o NFC in mine. The zerolemon doesn't add any thickness compared to the stock battery. Been using the battery since it first released and the lifeproof fre since it released. No issues and battery life is slightly better than the stock battery.

i can recommend oryginal Samsung 3000 - almost same size like stock one.

We're in need of a battery that would fit with stock backplate/life proof. If the 3000mah was I'd jump all over that. Thanks though.

oh wow i didnt realize battery effects nfc....thats crazy.

Im looking for the same thing. i was about to buy a zerolemon yesterday but it doesn't have nfc.
I know that they make sd cards with nfc, I have never owned one so i wouldn't know how well it would work with our phones. If the sd card with nfc works then i might buy one and get a zerolemon

I don't have the Mugen but from their pictures it looks about the same bulk.
I don't have exact result but I feel the battery performance is twice longer than stock.

Yes it does add bulk to it. I was using a 4500mAh from mugen previously. Sent it back for an exchange for the 5400mAh one.
Well the thickness is twice the thickness of the original note. Given my battery can only last at most 8 hrs for stock. using this mugen one can last me 18 - 24 hs, sometimes 13-15. depending on how agreessive is the usage.
Tons of review out there. I believe the new 5400mAh will last longer than that.
Btw, the case they gave give a better grip of the phone and with a kickstand. how awesome is that. =)

Haha, thats true, I do feel the pinch when I buy it (and sometimes wondering if there's any real differences other than the branding).
But its kind of mitigated by their good aftersale response and free of charge exchange of my 4500mAh batt with the new 5400mAh batt.
I am satisfied! haha

With that price, Mugen can afford to give you a free one and still makes a profit

I think 3200mah battery cases for samsung s3 i9300 are better, and they are cheaper in Casesinthebox.

Mugen 4600 vs. Hyperion-Anker

Does anyone have a Mugen 4600 battery along with one of the other extended batteries?
Wondering if it is the same size as he other extended batteries. The Anker, Hyperion, QCell all seem to be about the same thickness.
If it is the same size then you could use the same door and TPU case that comes from the other companies. If it is thicker then there isn't a case out there that will fit the Mugen.
Thanks in advance.
id like to know this too!

I have the mugen 4600mah, lasts so long! The quality of the rear extended cover is not amazing, the little stand on the rear has broken off with no force whatsoever, emailed mugen for a replacement yesterday, very good battery though!
Anyone know if any of the other extended rear covers fit the mugen battery?

How is the extra thickness treating you? Do you miss the ultra slimness? I like that a lot about the sIII, but I've been contemplating getting one of these to feed my never ending play addiction with my phone

extended batteries Options

I'm looking for an extended battery for my phone, i heard that Qcell was the recommended one, but after some looking, i found more batteries that are higher than the Qcell (4100mAh), the highest one i can fine is 4480mAh,so im not sure that those batteries are legit. but i might still get the Qcell since its recommended. though i need someones input on these batteries first

If you want batteries that list an MAH that could possibly be fake then get it. I learned my lesson ordering no name brand batteries and had a 3800mah extended from china performing worse than my stock oem 1800mah battery. If those are truely 4200 then they'll probably deteriorate extremely fast just like my generics. Stick with QCell they're still working perfect after a year for some members that have had it that long. Check the QCell thread. It's worth the money to get it instead of those since you'll end up spending money on one of those batteries and then again to replace it with a QCell lol. You can get the 4100MAH for around 20$ on Amazon. It might be only the ones with the white back covers that are 20 or black and the other is more expensive. If you do get a QCell and want to trade for a black cover let me know I have a Qcell black battery cover I'm trying to switch to a white one.
OK thanks man , so I'll stick with Qcell then, thought I was also want to get the texcell tmp or whatever the case is called, I heard the it fit the Qcell fine

A bunch of the guys that bought the Trexcell 3800mah battery reported having issues with it after like a month. I read a bunch of people saying that it wasn't holding the charge well. Check out the QCell thread its about 40 pages but its full of a lot of info. I read over it like 4 times no lie before I settled on the QCell since i didnt really want to get another fail extended.
Go QCell all the way I love it. Closest thing to zero lemon for our device. Do yourself a solid and grab the trexcell extended battery tpu case with the QCell. Just an example of my average battery life....

One last question , and I know this may sound silly.. With the trexcell TPU case and Qcell... if you lay the phone on its back will it lay straight/flat? I use gravity screen on/off and am wondering it will work because I don't know since there is a bulge if the phone will lay flat or not ( I don't like to lay it on it's screen )

The phone lays flat on its back with the extended battery cover without an issue for me. It even has these little dots that stick out in the corners of where the extended battery is so it gives it a better grip when you lay it down.

Extended Battery choices and experiences

Hi,
I just ordered GS3 and am waiting for it to arrive. It's T999L, but I figured there shouldn't be any difference in terms of extended battery options. I'm thinking to buy an extended battery, so I'd like to hear people's experiences and recommendations. I've already done some search, and here are my thoughts:
- There are extended batteries that are too thick to fit in the original back cover, but they offer longer battery life (of course). Biggest issue for me is, I'd want to use a regular protective case on my phone, and looks like if I make my phone thicker with one of those batteries, I'd have to order a bigger case instead.
- There are extended batteries that do fit in the original back cover. But, I ponder if it's really worth the extra $ spent compared to the stock battery.
What have been your experience? Please share
Thanks,
GT
I've got the genuine samsung 3000 mAh battery and it's been great. You give up no functionality especially NFC and I get over 5hrs of screen time. There was a thread about it and many others in the accessories section.
I suggest you take a look there.

Oh ok. Thanks for the suggestion With 3000mAh, were you able to use a regular case on your GS3? Could you tell me which case you used if it fit?
