Anyone has an idea of where I can find a replacement back cover (battery cover) for the HTC Pure? I've been looking all over the web without any success.
I would like to know the answer too. Something that is matte finish and doesn't attract fingerprints would be a great seller.
Yeah a matte finish would be very nice
I ended up calling HTC directly, and they said that there are no accesories, including the battery cover, for the HTC Pure, yet. They recommended to check with them in a couple of weeks.
I would think that this kind of thing would be available through a third-party. Just a matte finish back cover would be great because it would prevent the fingerprints. I'm sure something like this will come out soon, maybe with an extended battery too.

You mean this one fits on the Pure?
That battery cover is for the original HTC Diamond 2. The HTC Pure's back cover doesn't extend the full size of the phone.
There are hard covers for the Pure available at this poitn. It doesn't replace the back cover, which is what I would like. Instead, they cover the whole phone. Check out the list on eBay.
I just ordered one that is black and rubberized. Might be the texture I'm looking for on the back, but I hope it doesn't add too much size to the phone.
I have a spare OEM At&t HTC Pure battery cover. Let me know if you or anyone interested.
Make a reasonable offer and we can work something out.
I'm interested. Sent you a message.
We need to find access to oem cover from MDA V. (German market version of TD2, same as Pure)...
yeah im looking for this as well as im looking to sell my compact v

That's what I went for. I kept dropping my Pure whenever I took it out of my pocket because it is so slick and thin. The rubberized hard case solved both problems, not slick anymore, and the little bulk it adds brings it up to about the thickness of the original Touch Cruise I had previous to this one.

Does this fit under the stock cover?

The picture on Amazon shows it with a new battery cover, so I would say no.
any chance you could post a pic of it??
would like to see how thick the phone becomes with it.
not fit stock cover, but they do come with a extended cover, battery works pretty good, cool than stock battery, and get an extra 35% battery life or more. love it!
I'd also like to see a picture of the cover replacement on the phone. Hard to tell from the pictures on ebay how it'll sit.
Also, has anyone done a sticker pull on these? I'm currently debating between this and the Beast
Seidio has released there 5,000 mAh battery. It is on there site for $79. I'm gonna try it, just wish it had the extended battery door like the n7000.

That lump is just silly
this thing is huge!
No offense but, that thing is hideous. It takes less than 30 seconds to swap out a battery. For $80 you could buy the OEM charging station (includes OEM battery) + 2 spare OEM batteries. You would in effect have 10,000mah of battery power at your disposal.
Why not have a full backplate
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Don't buy it. I had an extended battery on my Captivate that had a hump too and I hated it. I would just rather have the whole door be big then just the bottom part.
That is my opinion of course.

They designed it that way to keep NFC intact. Look at the backdoor of your Note and will see two contact points on the NFC antenna that need to make contact with two contact points next to the microsd card slot. NFC compatible extended batteries on eBay have the same design. Also might explain why Mugen is taking so long with their variant because they could not find a work around.
However, that battery might fit with one of the non NFC compatible back covers on eBay. So you could sacrifice NFC for a better look with the extended battery.

I had one of these type bateries for my blackberry storm...same crappy backing same lump. Only case u could buy was their case lol
Not only is the battery expensive but it makes your phone ugly as sin. The phone is big enough but when you add this battery it turns it into a brick. Don't know why anyone would buy this.
Seidios next project, the 10,000 battery.

I would love this battery. The only reason I havent purchased it yet is because I cant find a damned case that will accommodate it. I could give 2 ****s about NFC or the size of my phone (in fact i have always used extended batteries and I think it makes me drop them less). Does anybody know whether there is a case for our ATT version that fits around the camels hump?

I have one of these extended batteries on my Note. I also had one on my Blackberry before I switched to the Note. I require a long runtime with my phones, and I am not going to carry multiple batteries around with me to do so. Tried that with the BB, and hated it, and went the extended battery route.
So...I agree with the previous post about the battery door being stupid looking.
When I bought the extended battery (from ebay), I received a door for an international version of the note. I knew that was what I was getting since the extended battery door for the LTE version was not out yet, but I wanted to see if I could make it fit somehow. I also was aware that NFC would not work with the new door, and didn't care, since I haven't found a need for it yet.
I got the battery and international door in. battery fit fine, but door did not. I tried trimming the tabs a little and was able to make it fit, but not *lock* in place like the door should. The company I bought the extended battery from said they would send me the LTE door when they got them in, (that is another reason I was willing to try all of this).
I got the LTE door in. Yes, it is ugly. I like the style of the international door MUCH better. I am using the LTE door for now. Battery life on this "cheap" 5000 battery has been awesome. Previously, I was getting only about 6 hours per charge. Now, I am getting 10-12, which gets me through my day. No...it probably isn't a true 5000 battery, but for $12, and a company willing to work with me on the door, I was happy to try it out, and I am happy.
As for protection for the phone with an exteneded battery door, I have this coming in:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/120841214598?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I am hoping that this will give some slight bumper protection but allow the battery bump to stick out. It only surrounds the very edge of the phone, not over the speaker like some of them do, which won't work.
Ok...to make this post even longer....
Anyone know of an extended battery door that looks like this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-GT-N7000-Extended-Capacity-Replacement/dp/B006W4JNZ6
that will work on the US LTE? I know it won't have the NFC antenna, but I don't care. I just want one that is shaped like that instead of the ugly bump one I have now.

Local cobbler appears to have seen this thread a +1ed your comment. Says he won't have his name attached to something so likely hideous. He did apologize though and offer me a free shoelace in consolation. :/ I guess I will never have a case that fits over the extended battery for this phone. Maybe someone with some milling tools could make me an aluminum shark cage for it. Hmmmm.

Just received this today, it's charging now so I will update when I have some battery usage stats.
It actually feels good in the hand, I usually use a rubber case with the Note anyway. It has the NFC antenna and the kickstand!
Nice! I was thinking of buying one. I'll be looking forward to seeing battery usage stats!

So far my only complaint is that the phone and case is very slippery (i'm used to the silicone case) so it slides easily out of my pocket and onto the floor. I may investigate pouring my own silicone case mold of some kind.
Just to make sure i'm getting the same one that you have took pictures of, is this it? i don't see a single picture on the website.

Why not just use a second battery and swap? I hate how fat it is.
Do not want to hijack the topic but seidio batteries are equally good , if not better
and cheaper
http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-note-lte-5000-extended-life-battery-p/bacy50ssgnta-bk.htm
Except with a horrible horrible hump.
The Mugen looks too thick for my tastes but the Seidio one is horrible beyond measure.
Looking at the Seido battery, it is $20 cheaper, but also 400ma less than the other one. Not sure how much 400ma equals in terms of usable time, maybe 30-45 mins? I just wish the Seido case didn't look chopped in half. Mugen case is at least uniform.

I actually don't mind the thickness -- it fits well into my hand, gives the phone some "fill". I usually use a case with the phone anyway, so it's not much thicker than that.
Obviously, extended batteries aren't for everyone. I actually do have a 2nd battery but then I need a place to carry it, and I don't just want it banging around in my pocket.
Another problem is that to swap batteries, you need to pry off the case, pull the flimsy OEM back cover, take out the battery and put the new one in, shutting down your phone in the process. Then you have to repower the phone, reapply the cover, reapply the case, and you've lost whatever you were doing in the interim.
Having more than double the battery power that's just "always there" is a much better option for me, but I haven't fully made up my mind yet.

It's too early to tell but I took it off the charger around 4pm yesterday, and it's now 9am and I'm at 78%.
Once I am down near the end of the battery I will post some BBB screens.
I like the looks of this battery cover MUCH more than the one I have now for my extended battery. This looks so much more professional that the "warts" that the other manufactures have made to accommodate the NFC antenna. Very cool design to get the antenna in there.
Plus, this one gives more room for my Qi Wireless Charging project I want to work on...
just purchased mine. i "liked" them on facebook and got 7% off.
guess i gotta sell my black seidio active case and my tryit black leather flip case now. pm me if you are interested.
21 hours on the battery now . It's still the first charge so these numbers will probably change, but it's at 75%.
Here is BetterBatteryStats:
1. What is the blue strip across the top in the first picture?
I think I see, this is the kickstand.
2. Why is there a sticker covering the entire back of the cover (I think in pic 3)?
3. Does NFC work with this battery?
4. Is the kickstand part of the replacement case?
5. Does it replace only the back battery cover?
6. Can you snap another photo showing the battery actually in the phone without the cover?
7. From what it looks like, it makes the phone about twice as thick... is that about right?
8. Is it heavier?
Im not meaning to be a pain, Im very much considering picking up an extended battery and my experience with Seido batteries has been very positive but I think I like the design of this better than the Seido, I just want to make sure.
FYI, $92 on Amazon...

So here you can see the stats for today. 11 hours on the battery, moderate use, 1 h 11 m of screen-on time, some bluetooth, short phone calls. On the stock battery, I'd be down around 50 or 40%, but I am at 75% on this.
It's got a TON of power.
Hi on my note 3 I decided to be clever and purchase a wireless rear battery cover ... you know not the stick on QI charging sticker that goes onto the battery but the expensive complete replacement cover that replaces the battery cover and adds wireless charging toi the note 3
Well ... just for the record it is THICKER than a normal battery cover so you cant fit the note into a case OTTERBOX Defender in my example
just thought this should be on record ... so the advice is to save money and get the cheapers internal stick on QI receiver and not the replacement rear cover
hopes this is of use and save somebody cash and problems when fitting the note 3 into a protective case if its got the charging battery cover
The best way to save cash is just buy one wireless card. more cheap and no additional thicker.

It should fit because the bump is not that big [though you better do some research first] . I used a UAG navigator on mine and that case was a tight fitting case and it still fit.
