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'

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?

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.

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.

See i REALLY want a case like this but ive heard off branded stuff like this are total crap =/ If someone gets this please let us know how it is because id wish to buy one as well
I just bought the first one and used it today ... met the seller in person, as I live in the Valley. Nice guy ... and he stressed the 3 month return policy.
Fit and finish are excellent. The case really complements the phone (if it is white). Like most external batteries, it generates a lot of heat when charging the phone. On the upside, there is a power switch so you can control when the case actually charges.
I haven't used it enough to determine how much of a recharge you can reliably get when the external battery is fully charged. Based on my limited use, I would bet no more than 50 to 60 percent ... meaning a phone battery at 10% might see 60 to 70% if you fully discharged the external battery.
And more importantly to me, the case itself offers corner protection, which is where I tend to ding my phones.
What are your thoughts after a few days of using this?
What is the intended purpose of this? is it to be used as a spare battery when yours is worn out and you simply switch the power to the external battery, or does this charge your phone while using it?
Thanks
I have a black version of the first one listed, it works awesome.
When I posted that here I got flamed by a bunch of a-holes saying it would run too hot/it might break the USB port etc so I didn't bother bringing it up again.

I got the white version, I don't like it all that much. It makes the phone super bulky and you can not charge your phone using the usb cable without the case being on. When the case is on it gets really hot, but it does charge the phone to 90% from 5%
Well, the 3200Mah battery case I bought from Amazon arrived a day early. Amazon is amazing. I have a Prime membership, so I get free two day shipping on a lot of things, but often things arrive the next day.
Unfortunately, the product itself is a bust.
Let me preface this by saying that my SGS3 is a battery hog. I get nowhere near what others I read online get. If I charge to full, then turn off the screen and don't touch it again, I can get about 10 hours. I've always had bad luck with my phones and battery life.
I charged it all the way up, then slid my fully charged phone into it, ran the phone down to 5% (about 6 hours), then turned the case on.
First, it got hot. I mean hot. Almost too hot to hold, burn your hand hot. To top it off, it charged my phone from 5% to 42% in about 1 hour, and was dead empty.
Some other issues - you can't leave your back cover on while using this case, it won't fit.
Also, the fit isn't great. The phone has side to side wiggle in it. And the case doesn't cover the sides or top of the phone, but creates a ridge all the way around that is really uncomfortable to hold, makes access to the volume rocker and power button really difficult.
The kickstand is cheap, bendy, flimsy plastic, not metal like the picture looks, and has no lock. It swings free, and will only support the phone in landscape.
It's going back to Amazon, based on the fact that it advertises 3200mah, but lasts 1/6th as long as the 2100mah stock battery. There was nothing I liked about this battery case. I'm going back to carrying a spare battery.
I very much want to increase the battery of my Z3 Compact as much as possible, I don't care if I double its size in the process
Although the battery time is tolerable, I think a nice 4000mAh battery or two would work great with the energy saving algorithms of the Z3.
Does anyone know if there is any cases available that let me do that yet? If not , would it be possible to adapt another readily available case for my personal use?
I've not seen any power cases for the Z3c and I doubt any will be released considering the niche status of the phone. Best option is probably a portable USB power pack.
Same here. I always have some juice in my backpack in form of a usb power pack. Charges pretty quick and also usable as a ac charger. For outdoors there are solarchargers. Much more comfortable as a powercase.

I also think it is a little strange that there is no pictures of it. There is pictures of the Z3 power case though. If that is in any way an indication of how the Z3C case will look I think is a bad decision not to make the case cover more of the phone for protection purposes. The phone will end up being bulky anyway with the battery case on, so why not extend the battery case so it offers proper protection against the phone being dropped?

It looks like the Mugen one does not have any addon/swappable parts to fit Z1C/Z3C. To me, this would suggest that the above brando case would fit Z3C too. And that would suggest that the cheap chinese Z1C battery cases would also fit.
Have you done any research?

I'm currently shopping for a new smartphone, and the availability of a battery case is a deciding factor for me. Your post is the only thing I could find on the internet about the Mugen Z3 compact battery case, so I was wondering if I could ask a few things to help me decide.
Does the case fit on snugly? Does it clasp on properly or does it fall off? It charges using the magnetic terminals on the middle of the phone's side, and not the micro USB port, correct? Presumably the flaps that cover the microusb don't get in the way of the case?
Has the actual performance of the backup battery been up to scratch?
Thanks for your feedback about the thickness but I don't really mind about that as I'd be using the battery case for travelling and situations like that.
Some extra photos from different angles would be very much appreciated. Feel free to email me at mark a h 9999 at gmail if that's easier for you than replying here. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Here is a review by one of the users, i hope it will be helpful for You:
Better than the one I had for my z2. Very precise fit with no movement in the battery case. I view this as a clip on extra battery rather than a protective case.
When I need charging I don't want to be connected to a battery pack with a cord...been there, press and hold on switch means no accidental turning off.
I use my z3 for shallow underwater photos and couldn't have a phone with removable battery and leaking battery doors. Double cost of other brand but you get what you pay for!

Sorry, I don't have the case anymore. I decided to get a Xiaomi power bank and sold the case for 2/3 the price since I wanted to use Devilcase. The Mugen was worth the money. All 3200mAh are there. The feel is pretty good as well with a rubbery matte finish and heavier overall weight that's definitely gonna prevent you from dropping the phone anytime soon.
Guys, I'm going to be launching a wireless charging phone sleeve on Kickstarter in January. The unique selling point will be the Smart app that communicates with the sleeve.
I'm doing research for the launch now to determine which phones to support. If you guys could just share your thoughts that'd be great.
Namely:
Will you as a Nexus 5 user invest in a new phone sleeve?
Why do you/ dont you use existing portable chargers like powerbanks and Qi chargers?
If you know any cool portable wireless chargers?
I myself use a Nexus 4 with Qi built in but I haven't found a satisfactory wireless charging solution yet... that's kinda why I worked on my own. Thanks! I'm also asking the Samsung s5 guys for their feedback.
I would definitely use it because it seems like a very cool way of charge your phone while you are on the go!
Because a sleeve is better than a poweramp which is big an bulky
Please just do a Nexus 5 Version

Yeah like I said I would buy one because the battery on our phone isn't the best as we all know.
Great idea !
I will buy one if it isn't too expensive.
Do you know about an approximately price yet?
I don't get why you need to make that thing a sleeve. I wouldn't buy it because basically it'd make my phone unusable while I charged it. Make it have a transparent front, or a removable front, and maybe it's worth it.
I frankly don't see the point in it, and frankly having an app that "optimizes my charging experience" is something I dont see as something I need or want, I want my phone to charge and installing an app so I get better charging (in some way I don't understand or even see how it's possible) is something I want to avoid, not look upon as a unique selling proposition.
You are competing with $5 power banks here, at least in my mind, and I really don't see something here that makes me want to spend the money I can see this costing just so I can charge my phone wirelessly while it's in my bag.
I'm not being negative here, I'm being honest and since you're probably going to be investing some of your money here, I hope you don't take this the wrong way. Make it modular, with different sleeves you can buy for your phone, make it possible to use it as a power bank for non-qi devices and you have something interesting *for me*.
Good luck at any rate.
I see the need and want for it... but i dont like how its a sleeve... say i use this at night... and use my phone for my alarm. well how do i silence the alarm without taking it out of the charger... isnt going to happen...
I like to idea of modular, were you can maybe has detachable sleeves... maybe a large one that covers the screen for people who want it in their bags, or maybe half a sleeve for people who use it at night, and still have to have access to the mute/disregard of the alarm apps.
Know what I mean?
Yeah I see what you mean. That's a great idea!
However, that's not necessary now because the sleeve is thin enough that you can place your phone over it and it will still charge, ie. The sleeve becomes a charging mat.
But at the end of the day, its still a sleeve so you need to slip it out before using the phone if its inside. Good idea though! Maybe I can offer it as a stretch goal
I'm already using a powerbank. But as others stated, it's not very comfortable when you're using the phone.
I think a case would be much more useful than a powerbank or a sleeve. And you could add an attachable cover to sweeten the deal. That way everyone could get what they want from our lovely phones. And I would definitely buy and support something like that.

Not settled on the price yet. Thinking of two versions now, a daily driver denim material and a premium luxurious leather. But b still experimenting. People have told me v they want a transparent front, so testing that atm
Currently have a Galaxy S4 with a ZeroLemon extended battery but I'm on the verge of switching to a Nexus 5. The only thing I'd miss from my S4 is the huge battery life with the ZeroLemon so I was looking at battery cases. However, I love the idea of a wireless charging pouch/sleeve. It would allow the Nexus 5 to remain naked when using it but keeps it charging while in the pocket. I was thinking of doing this using a standard external battery but that'll require plugging it in which is a real pain.
I've added my email address on the notify for more info. Definitely interested.
Just out of interest, will the pouch be specific for a particular phone or will it be generic for a variety of phones (assuming roughly the same size). Also, is the pouch designed to only accept the phone naked? What if the phone has a slim TPU case or bumper?
A few questions:
1.How is this better than battery cases which are on the market right now?
2.What will happen if i accidentally put the phone wrong side up into the case?
3.Durability of the pouch?

1. Generic for a variety of phones!
2. Insisting on stretchable materials, so the phone is easy to slip in and out- PLUS it tolerates slim cases! And even the s5 wireless charging back. Not sure what maximum thickness case works though- this calls for a stress test video.

1. It's better looking, and it doesn't make your phone thicker or heavier or imbalanced. Why should you have to choose between a slim, beautiful phone and a bulky one with battery life that lasts the day?
2. Both sides and wrong side up it will still charge!
3. Durability as in... the material? Battery capacity? Battery longevity? I'm committed to making ampere the best it can be plus I'm a tactile person, so the sleeve's fabric is high quality stuff- I really like the feel of the denim, very tough.

Environmental resistance, water, dirt, sweat, puncture resistant from keys or anything like that?
You know what- I hadn't thought about any official certifications! Again, I chose denim which is great looking and durable, so I guess you can extrapolate from your quality jeans. Given the hardware though- I wouldn't say its resistant to water or sweat, but we built it with durability in mind so it wouldn't bend, the insides' aluminium instead of plastic, etc.

Wouldn't aluminum basically kill the radio signals? Thus using more battery and potentially calls/texts ect if it can't get a signal? This is what happened when I tried using a case with metal.
Seems like a decent idea, need a tester let me know I have 2 nexus 5s I can test with running both lollipop and kitkat. If you are looking for a beta tester just let me know figured it'd be worth a try whats the charge rate of the wireless charger? Would need something above 1000mah pulling wise. My current pocket charger does 800 and my home charger does 1400 so would like something in the middle but anything higher would be awesome it looks like a decent product.
I pre-ordered a battery case on Amazon, but it just seems too good to be true. I cannot see how they can fit a battery that size into that case for that price.
https://www.amazon.com/Rechargeable-External-Portable-Protective-Charging/dp/B06Y63HPCL
5200mAh
$26.99
Very slim and slick looking
Any thoughts? Should I cancel the pre-order or is Amazon reliable when in helping to avoid fraud?
I just saw this, it's not that expensive, please post IF you get it with pictures as to how thick, hand feel, and so on. I'd be very interested in it if it's not going to make my device look like a brick from the 90s.
There's about 5 pages of questions now and there's a LOT of discrepancy between what the "description" states and what the answers from the seller state:
Description: has a kickstand
Seller answer: has not kickstand
Seller keeps saying you can wirelessly charge with this case in the questions, I WANT to know how that will work. I may order this JUST to see if any of the hype is true
It looks monstrously big for the s8 plus
Update: They increased the price from $26.99 to $39.99. That sounds more realistic now. Also the picture is different and it looks a bit more clunky than the original images. Once I get it I will post pictures of it and give a review.
No way that's 5500 is such a slim case, this case is 5500mah look at that fatty https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06ZXYRCKM/ref=psdc_7073960011_t1_B06Y63HPCL

I just could never do a case that big...not with phones this size. Holy crap i can't imagine that in my pocket.

Plus I foresee a case that thick making the fingerprint sensor unusable.

Please post feedback when you get it.
It may not be the slickest case but if it does add 5000mAh then it can be a backup plan for a weekend outdoors. There are times when having a battrey pack makes it much more clunky than a battery case, no matter how bigger it makes the phone.

So, let's see what could possibly go wrong:
Third-party company that no one has ever heard of making a battery case that doesn't even agree with its own pictures of the product/product description
Will it overheat? No, why would you think that?
Will it make your phone burst into flames? Why would that be an issue?
Will it actually work as stated? Sure, so many of the cheap knockoff battery cases work just great.
Please do post how this works out for you. Also, make sure you have a spare device from which to call 911 (or 999 depending on your location)
Best power case would be zerolemon when it comes out
Just ordered this one from Amazon. It's in stock and I will get it monday and let you know how it is.

I guess there's one manufacturer that makes all of these cheap power cases for any brand. The price is great but I wouldn't risk an S8+ for a 50$ price difference. And everything above 3000 mAh will add too much bulk. Don't bother and think that it won't look like a brick. I was prepared to order the Mophie but got insulted by their bad marketing moves. Articles all over the web about the release of the legendarry Juice Pack, and all I got was a coming soon warning! No Thanks. As djhulk2 said I would go with the ZeroLemon or the I-blades. Remember these are brands, plus the I-blades adds extra memory, a platform for other modules and Military Grade Certificate.
They should have different size of batteries...maybe 1000mAh, a 2000mAh, and 3000mA

There are numerous choices out there (just from a google search using the terms S8+ battery cases):
https://powerpluscases.com/collecti...-galaxy-s8-plus-battery-extender-case-5500mah
https://i-blades.com/products/galaxy-s8-plus-case-battery-life-memory
https://www.amazon.com/ICONIC-Portable-External-Protective-Charging/dp/B06ZZB2QYC (has a code of 2RADT4V8 for $10 off making the price about $30, know NOTHING about this battery, BGR is hyping it)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06ZZB2QYC/ (another case with a code HC7VJ26M for more of a discount, again another site is promoting this)
https://www.amazon.com/Rechargeable-External-Portable-Protective-Kickstand/dp/B06Y63HPCL/ref=sr_1_5 (no idea about this)
https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_...+battery+case&rh=i:aps,k:s8+plus+battery+case (a generic search for s8 Plus battery case on amazon)
And that was about 10 minutes worth of looking. There are PLENTY of options out there, just got to be willing to look.
