Had anybody tried the hyperion TPU case with either the seidio or mugen extended battery installed?

pics?
I have the White Hyperion TPU case and back door. I am using it with the Hyperion "5000" mah battery (more like 3000). I can post pics if you like. I have been using it for about 3-4 weeks now and it does not stay white. The blue and black from my pants/jeans/uniform pocket is subbing off on the case. Its a decent case though. Slips in and out of my pockets just fine.
When I can afford it I will likely go with the Mugen battery and back door for the kick stand and better life
Anyway, I can post pics if you need. I know this is a little over a week since last posting.
I have one of the hyperion 5000mah batteries and I ordered one of the tpu cases by hyperion. I know it said the case was not for the att version. I got it in and I can get it to fit into and it fits pretty well. I was wondering if there is a better case that works with these big extended batteries or if there was a simple case mod that somebody had done already to make a case for it.
Did you ever find a case? If so which one I'm looking for one too

I'm looking for one also, I have the Mugen 5400 and bought the Hyperion case, it fits but not very well.
As far as I know the Hyperion case is the only one available.

I have read several reviews of extended batteries for the Note. So putting the tech specs aside, how comfortable is it to carry around the already big Note with an extended battery case? Are there any brands that are better than others in this regard?
I currently carry around an extra battery, but I always forget to charge the extra battery on days when I end up swapping them out. I was thinking about purchasing an extended battery/case, but I don't want to be carrying around a brick either. I spend a lot of time traveling where Iike to have my phone easily accesible in my front pants pocket.

I find pros and cons. The extended battery does make it easier to grip. But of course its harder to put in a pocket.
I use one all the time.

I carry my phone in my front pants pocket without issue. It's s little tight in some jeans with smaller pockets, but overall it works just fine with extended battery. Biggest issue I've had is lack of a case so while I drop it rarely, when I do it comes apart into three pieces(phone, battery, back case)

I think it's fine. Because the phone is already big, the extra "hump" is not too hard to get used to.
I got a metal bumper case to work with the extended battery. I posted a picture in the other thread for 5200mah battery. If you drop it, it will still come apart most of the time.
I did use a cheap TPU case and cut out a hole for the hump and that works out fine as well. This will keep the phone together better if you drop it, but it was a really cheap TPU case, so I ditched it eventually for the bumper, which looked alot slicker.

I just took a look at that thread. I think I might get one to have on extended travel days. It does look kind of goofy IMO, but it will serve a purpose. Thanks for the response.

Yes... I have grown used to the look, but when I take out my phone in public, people do ask "what the heck is that?"
I don't think it is as ridiculous, but people do. But, it is nice when you are on the road. I lasted almost 3 full days in the mountains with the extended and stock batteries.
I love mine and I also have the case for the Hyperion extended battery for the international note and it fits fine.

Can you link me to this case? Also, did you have to do any modifications to make it fit?

yes, no problems with the case for everyday use, however you might find using the phone with one hand isn't as easy anymore.
I consider myself pretty good with one hand on the Note, but the extended battery makes that a real challenge.

I find it much easier to put in my pocket than the with the normal battery and attached to the charger.

I bought the extended battery with hump initially and only used it when I knew I wouldnt be able to have power for awhile. It became more of bulk issue, i ended up just ordering an extra battery and just swap out.

I use my extended battery everyday, no problems here.

I have one in 24/7. I keep it in my shirt pocket, run a ranch, no extra case/cover. I'm on 4g only, no real internet out here where the bear does his business.
Doesn't fall out, get too wet from sweat, or broken... I'm due an upgrade but waiting on note 3 or price drop on note 2 and an extended battery for it.
if I just used the OEM battery it'd be dead in 3 hours or less since my data is on all the time...

Which battery do you have?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
The tmart <$10 one for i717... I had two because going to 4g only ate my battery and I thought it was just wearing out.
I found it was easier to hold...fit ok in my shirt pocket.
When I syill had satellite internet it lasted all day usually. But I think I'm getting almost the same performance out of the i317 oem battery.

Heyo peeps
So here's the deal.
Battery life is pretty good, no question. But I finally got the itch to start hammering this phone for mega hours.
So first I got the Zero Lemon of course.
Battery is crazy awesome. No question. The case is... Almost acceptable. I love the overall design and protection. I hate the feel of the rubber outside, the screen protector (which I keep on for added Peace of mind and water resistance), and OMG the port covers.... So awful. The buttons are pretty terrible too.
And of course, the phone is insanely bulky and unmanageable now, but I knew that.
I LOVE my wife's otterbox defender on her stock note 3. The first thing I tried was to see if I could mod a defender to fit the zl battery. As I'm sure yall know, the answer is hell no.
So what I'm wondering is if there is some other REAL extended battery that might fit into some modded defender or similar case.
I've got one of those eBay "4500 mah" batteries that is the same size as stock. But since it weighs less than the stock battery, I'm certain the battery life is gonna suck. I'll be trying it this weekend for giggles. But Yea. When I sat REAL extended I mean one of those hyperion or anker 6400mah jobbies. Or the zl, natch.
So, any input? To recap, I'm looking for a battery that can fit a modded case that is good, preferably a otterbox defender, or similar. Or I'm looking for a GOOD case that is known to fit the zl, hyperion, anker, whatever.
Thanks!

I think there was a post by someone that modded their otterbox to fit an anker/hyperion battery.

Yea, i did see that.
I've actually got the slim armor and rather like it. But unless I'm missing something, he's got the case in such a state that it could hardly be considered "protective" any longer...
Thanks for the heads up though
