WE have this battery with ergonimic back for the INTERNATIONAL note and this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hyperion-Sa...Accessories&hash=item3f15dd78bc#ht_500wt_1413
TPU case for the INTERNATIONAL model to cover the above INTERNATIONAL battery. I dont care about NFC (no clue what it even is!) so my question is:
a) will this case, battery and back cover fit the ATT note?
b) If it does, will all the holes be in the same place? (charging hole, SPen hole and volume/power buttons)
c) if the back case for the phone itself doesn't snap properly, will the case be enough to hold it all on?
I really need an extended battery, but I hate that there are never cases to fit the phones with the extended battery, if all this will fit, it seems too good to be true and this would be PERFECT. Like I said, that NFC (not even sure if that's the right word) doesn't matter to me, I just want more juice and a case all at the same time! LOL!

The cover fits if you take a knife and shave off some of the pastic tabs on the hyperion cover. I did it, and it fit just fine with a little bit of effort. All the holes etc lined up properly. The only difference between the two models physically is the location of the plastic tabs that snap the back into place.
That said, the hyperion battery is junk, I pulled the sticker off of it and it contained two 1500mah batteries underneath. 3000mah total, not even close to the advertised 5000mah. Buyer beware.

I am new to this forum so I can't post a link yet.
I purchased it a few weeks ago for my At&t S2. It works great! When at home on the weekends my battery only goes down to about 70% by the end of the day, before it usually dropped to around 30-40%. Although the battery fits perfect the new cover was made to fit only the Korean version of the phone. I used an xacto knife and trimmed the interfering catches on the sides of the new cover so it fit in place. The end catches of the cover still fit. I then placed the phone in a TPU case which fit perfect without any budges or stretches. Actually feels better to handle and still weighs 8 grams less than my old iPhone 4.

Looking at the pictures it seems that the new battery cover is every so slightly larger. Is that true?
Yes, the Korean battery cover makes the back of the phone flat instead of dipped at the bottom. Also recesses the camera window slightly which is good to protect it. Same texture on the new cover as the original one. It's too bad Samsung didn't make the catches the same on both covers.
The battery works w/o reboots when charging via USB?
So, does it say "Near Field Communication" on the back of the battery like the original 1650maH one?
I have an extra 2000 mAH NFC battery for sale. PM me.
The Korean 2000ma battery does say NFC on the back and I have not noticed any reboots when connected to my PC. I actually don't connect via USB very much, just use Kies air which works good.

Would you say that the back would have no problem staying on if you didn't use a case? I have the car dock and a case won't fit, but I think the battery would. Thanks.
I have not tried to carry the phone without the external case. Mine won't fall off but doesn't require much effort to pop it off with a finger nail. I would be uneasy to use the Korean back without the external case. I did have to give up my home charger base because of using the external TPU case, but I felt it was justified by the extra protection provided by the case.
I have a Ballistic SG case on my phone. Would this battery possibly still fit?

I searched and all I'm finding are international sellers, which takes forever and in the past I've gotten several fakes from international sellers. Anyone know if Amazon or a US Seller has this extended ORIGINAL battery?
Thanks!
I am also hesitant to buy the battery from a foreign 3rd party seller. I spent about an hour and a half on Samsung Korea's website with google translate and I haven't been able to find it for sale on their site.

I MAY be going to Seoul in the next couple weeks... if I do end up going I'm def going to pick one of these up
So I got the Battery today, the battery cover doesn't fit perfectly. I had to get a buffer and do it to both sides of the insertion cover (left + right) for it to be "snugly", though I went overboard on the right side and it's pretty ugly if you look in between the cracks.

Sounds far less than ideal. :-(
The less than perfect fit on the battery cover was not an issue for me. I knew of the issue before ordering the battery. What was important was extended battery life and I wanted to put the phone in a light weight case anyway. The TPU case was a perfect fit and affords a better grip then no case. I am running JuiceDefender in auto mode with a very stock AT&T phone. Bluetooth and wifi are always on and two imap email accounts. On work days I'm usually down to around 70% by night, weekends typically 80% left. I use the phone only on a moderate level, no game playing or videos. Just nice to know I have plenty of reserve left just in case I need a heavy use for a few hours.

Juice defender is so crippling. If you're only using 20-30% all day with JD enabled, why bother? Might as well unleash your phone's full potential, and let it do it's thing. You may only have 20-30% remaining at the end of the day, but as a non-power user, why do you bother using JD? Are you OCD like me and hate seeing less than 75% battery remaining? LOL
It fits perfect now, and it's still thinner and lighter than the original Galaxy S (Captivate)!
Any pics? I want to get an idea of how much thicker it gets.

I don't have a camera, but it's as thick as the bump in the back.
Ok, so this is my first thread on these forums. If I'm breaking the rules or posting incorrectly, etc. Please let me know how to fix it.
I went ahead and got all the measurements off of various sites before I attempted this. I lost the paper I wrote the dimensions on. But this does work. I used an exacto knife, old pair of wire cutters and a file. I wish I had a dremel to do this, It would've been a lot cleaner and more exact.
I ordered an OEM Thunderbolt Extended Battery, Otterbox Defender Case, and a Zagg Screen Protector. I've been using this setup for a month now and am very pleased.
I spent $65 total on amazon.com and zagg.com for everything.
I first laid the battery in the battery cover and scored the edges. I pushed through it on one corner than began to cut. I filed down the edges. I then laid the cover in the Otterbox case and scored the outline. Then I ran the exacto back and forth for quite a while until I got through on one edge, than began to cut.
Here are my results. I know the images aren't the best quality. I haven't bought a new camera since before I've had my first android.
I peeled a bit of the padding out of the back of the Otterbox case and put it on the battery just to see how much it would push out the silicon cover, not much.
Now I am going to double-side tape the left over rectangle of the battery cover to the battery and get some weather stripping and place it on top of that.
The Zagg and the Otterbox mate well at first, eventually they begin to separate around the edges, I used the spray between them that came with the Zagg shield. The Zagg stays in place though. I haven't noticed any dust or debris since it's started. So far over this month they've stayed together in the center. I don't mind it as I am pretty hard on my phones physically and usage wise. It's hard to tell when the screen is actually on.
If you have any questions that I haven't answered, just let me know.
Thanks for looking.
How well has this been working for you? I have been planning on doing the same thing.

I did something similar with my trident kraken case. I was going to get this otterbox but I didn't because trident has a better selection of colors and so far its been great.

I saw on htcpedia that you can actually use the Defender case without the back plastic piece. Just wrap the silicone outer cover around the phone with just the front plastic on. Haven't tried it but their video shows that it seems to fit perfect.

The problem with doing that is the phone will not fit in the holster screen out and the volume buttons are way to sensitive. If you cut the otter box back and the standard battery door everything fits nearly prefect.

I believe that also voids your (lifetime) warranty. Commuter cases are better anyway, but that's just me..
*Sent...*
You should read the fine print. Its hardly a lifetime warranty. In fact is only for a year. And if you have a flaw within that year, they will only replace it once. Besides, how many things can really go wrong with a phone case? Once it breaks, your probably ready for a different one anyway.

Just did this last night....and I agree, would be much easier with a dremel. I'm going to borrow a friends to smooth the cuts, but so far, it works like a champ. I used an OEM Rezound extended battery though

Thanks for the pics and info for this MOD I did it a few days ago and I love it you can't even tell that I added the extended battery. I picked up a battery from Verizon website on sale for 29.99 plus my 18% off. Worked out great.
Love the mod. I'm gonna do it my next day off. How solid does it feel? Does anything feel lose on the back? Also do you think this would work with the mugen 4000 mah battery?

Looks and fell you can't even tell you did the mod. I did nice clean cuts the battery cover was so close on my cuts a had to go back with sand paper as I was not getting cell service do to the antenna no connected. So take your time the OEM batt cover already has the outline of the battery so that cut is very easy. after that just lay the back cover in the outerbox and mark and cut you will be very happy with it.
I ended up doing it yesterday and I'm in love
. You really can't tell it's there. The only thing I'm wondering is the dimensions of the 4000 mah battery because I'm wondering if it will work with this mod. Can anyone chime in? Is it bigger then the OEM extended battery?

Well the 4000 mah battery has to be the same around so even if it is thicker I think the outerbox rubber will still give in and pull over it just fine.
Today I did the same case mods.
I purchased a used standard rezound back piece for $5 + $4 for shipping. This way if I screw up I only lose the used back piece.
Well I did a good tight job on the back piece. It's like HTC already put cutting lines inside the back piece to make it easier for us. I used a dremel tool with cutoff wheel. Also used a file to smooth it out.
On the defender box I cut the rectangle a little too low and had to lengthen the hole. But I don't think it matters that the hole is 1/8 inch larger than necessary.
I am generally pleased, but I suspect this leaves the phone more vulnerable to water damage if it becomes submerged in liquid.
Sorry to everyone for not checking on this thread in such a long time. This has had a very solid feel. I love the rezound. Also, as for the 4000mah battery. I looked at the youtube video about it. It is a tad thicker than the OEM extended battery. But I see no reason why it wouldn't fit. The silicon will stretch. I'm actually looking into getting the 4500mah battery from mugen for the thunderbolt to see if that will work. I don't mind the added bulk, obviously haha. I also need to clean my case up with my dremel. I've just been lazy. I can take pics of this phone later to show how it's held up. The only other thing is it is hard to fit the phone in screen out in the belt clip if you want to use it as a stand. With any mugen, imho, it will not fit that way at all. But regular face in, no battery will affect that.
I'd be careful about handing all that cash to mugen. Their batteries are under 80 percent of the claims.

Wow, that is very interesting. If OEM is the closest to what they state, I may just solder my other incredible 2 batteries together haha.
Tried searching here but to no avail. Anyone know where I can get custom battery covers for the Note 3? Cost is not too much of an issue but I've been looking for a custom battery cover for my Note 3 as I'm getting really bored of the default faux leather back. If anyone has any ideas where to look please let me know?
Google hasn't really helped much either.
I too would like to know, as some days I want to see my phone w/out my bulky otterbox case on it....BUT....I'm too smart to know that I'll soon drop it due to the slipperiness of this phone!!!!

Unfortunately there aren't many good custom back covers out there... most have either worse (more slippery) grip, or metal ones that degrade signal reception.
I definitely don't want it in metal, but for the slippery grip, it's not an issue. I'll be using a transparent cover over it anyway!
I saw some on amazon, but they are in pastel colors. just type in Anley note 3
I'd be happy with just a battery cover that eliminated the raised part around the camera. Not sure why they thought the phone resting on that all the time was going to be a good idea. I'm so afraid of scratching it up. I tried a case for a while, which worked great. But the bulk got to me after a while and I removed the case.
Dunno about you but the case I used added more space between the camera and the table top. but was still pretty slim....

I use the wireless charging back cover from Samsung and it is raised over the camera. It adds a bit of weight but I feel like that's how the phone should be and it has a nice leather feel
Cover
The charging cover looks really interesting. Wonder what the battery life is on a wireless charge.
I decided to try one of these from amazon. It's called Bubbleback, lot of different colors. Fits very good, the texture is leather look only, not actual faux leather like original back. It's plastic so it's a bit slippery. I have a clear case so no biggy.
Might consider buying one of those for the next world cup... XD
Samsung actually sells about 20 different coloured backdoors for the Note 3, ranging from metallic look to smooth plastic to matte pastel. Most official Samsung stores (not sales points, the actual Samsung stores. There's one in The Hague, for example) sell them.

I'm selling Samsung Original Wireless charging S Charger Cover for Note 3 . Color black. It is practically unused - I just like the feel of the original cover better. $20 + shipping. PM me if you are interested.
I can't find which case I should buy for my phone when using the wireless charging back cover. Does anyone have any good recommendations?
I thought I would go ahead and answer my own question. For those who are interested in having some kind of case with the Galaxy Alpha and who also want the wireless charging backplate, I am here to confirm that the Spigen Neo Hybrid case for the Galaxy Alpha does fit with the official Samsung backplace and it does charge. The fit is snug however, the lip does cover it as if there was no extra thickness. I have three other covers from Korea and they all aren't able to cover the phone with the wireless charging backplate. I am glad that it works.
For those who never used this brand of cases, make sure to leave on the plastic ring part and don't try to do it in two stages. I thought I had to put the rubber part on and then the ring, however, if you do that, you will most likely break the ring. Instead, just put the phone in the case all at once.
will the official extended battery work with this ?
No, I don't think so. The extended battery requires a special modified case because the battery is too fat and the official charger plate requires the regular battery, as there is no room for a bigger battery. However, in this case, I would recommend getting one of those internal pieces that you can put between the battery and the cover and attach it to the right spot, like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Alpha-SlimPWRcard-Receiver-Samsung-integrated/dp/B00QMIM6EM
I have never used it, but I assume it would work. The only reason why it might not is if it isn't long enough to go over the bigger battery, but I'd say it is worth a try. Qi wireless charging is fantastic! I am going to build one into a desk I bought at the thrift store.
Hi All,
I have been getting more from this forum than giving away so I decided to give away some insights into how I perceive the new Zerolemon arrival.
I purchased this case and I am not involved in reviewers program of any sort. I still have my galaxy s3 with zerolemon. Therefore, as soon as I got S7 I purchased zerolemon for it to keep me going.
I will keep it short and to the point:
1. General built quality I can't complain about. Thus in case of a drop I dare to say Zerolemon for S3 Rugged Case (the older version) seems to offer more protection. Don't take it for granted.
2. In terms of the size this case is massive although when you look and compare with the one for S3 it's just slightly thicker but considerably longer due to the built-in port at the bottom (well that is a downside of galaxy s7 with built in battery). The size of it in my opinion just just too big to carry in my jeans' pocket (see pics). I even think that I would sacrifice the capacity over functionality so the case is a bit slimmer.
3. Ports and covers. Here is the main difference in terms of quality. On S3 case everything fits perfectly and holds in place. On the contrary the S7 case has design flaw especially when it comes to the cover for charging port. Once charged the cover does not stay shut for a long period of time so it might be easy to tear it of after some time and it is annoying. The culprit in my opinion is too shallow hole in the case and too short rubber which was supposed to click in that hole (please correct me as I do not know the description of this little ending protruding from the flap itself). This could be sorted by using similar solution like with the headphone port flap in S3 case. Alternatively, I was thinking about getting some good glue and apply a thin layer on that little thing so it is made a bit longer and keeps the flap closed right after charging.
4. I did not have much time to test how much juice I will get as I decided to return this battery but with a deep regret as I got used to juice wherever I am. I will just wait for a revised version or get other brands like Trianium which I thing do not offer that much capacity but it is slimmer.
5. There is a LED indicator showing you how much battery charge is left in the case and the charging button must be hold longer to discharge which is good. This prevents accidental charges in you pocket.
If you have some questions till I have this battery until Monday 12 September let me know.
Here is also the video with the flap issue: https://youtu.be/nNJqAB_I7fQ
Might as well carry my charger rather than this tank case which would be painful even while making calls or browsing.

How dose the thickness compare to a Otterbox defender? I've had a zerolemon before on my note 2, now I'm thinking about getting one for my S7. I know they give dimensions online but I don't know how close they are to the actual size. Otterbox is .6 of a inch I believe I read somewhere and the zerolemon is .82. Thanks
