Can you let me know how that Otterbox works out for you if you decide to get it? I'm interested in getting a case too but I haven't been able to find out that doesn't add a significant amount of bulk on it...
Well I got the otterbox commuter series and to me it is well worth it.. im the type of person that does not like bulk and this case adds almost none for the amount of protection it gets from this awesome case.. it has an inner skin that covers all home keys and all ports including headphones usb etc.. then there is a nice hard outter shell.. phone feels great in my hand so I would say real nice case and I recommend

Mugen Power makes an 1800mAh battery that's the same size as the stock 1540mAh. Been using it for a few months now, works great!
Cheesebread thanks.. I will be looking into this

If you want a case that adds no bulk then I think the best option is this knock off to the case-mate barely there series. You can find it at monoprice.com for dirt cheap. As long as all you want it to be able to do is protect it from scratches.

If you order one from amazon, contact the seller and tell them to read the batch number on the back. If it's SNN5893A, don't buy it.
You likely wont find a battery that offers a lot more power and is the same size as stock. I have a 3800mah extended battery, well over double the stock battery, and it's double the thickness. It came with a shock resistant case too. I love this thing. I haven't charged my phone since Saturday, and I used to have to do so every night.
For a small battery boost, you can try Motorola's extended battery, which I think is 1750mah.
Remember that when searching for batteries, you can also use the original X batteries. This applies to cases too as far as I know.

I've already purchased it. There is nothing wrong with it.
Seidio active... I like but no screen protector... any suggestions that work with this case?
Sent from my MB870 using XDA App
I also have a seidio active. It is a two part case with a soft rubber inner and rigid rubber/poly? outside. (the outside is not plastic Great protection, minimal bulk.
The otterbox's are very nice, but do get bulky.
i've got the bh6x, totally not worth it, if I had it to do over again I'd get a stupid huge battery like that 3800mah. I have an otterbox commuter, its in a drawer somewhere. what a pain in the ass that case was.
I've been caseless for a while now. don't know why I ever put that stupid crap on my phone, all it did was make the damn thing run hotter and hold dirt against the phone, scratching the crap out of it. and when I'd sweat it would always think my finger was touching the screen on the side where the case slightly overlapped the gorilla glass.
I basically work in construction (audiovisual field engineer/lead installation tech/commissioning engineer) and my phone gets abused. flat out. zero issues, one scratch on the screen (caused by the otterbox) but whatever, it's a phone, it's not a freakin decoration!
and you kids, whining about bulk should have carried around an early windows mobile smartphone. you wanna talk about bulk? the entire X2 could just about fit inside the battery compartment of my old 8125. I kinda wish this phone had more "bulk" so it would actually fill up my hand.
hell, I miss being able to tell which pocket my phone was in by feel.
I use the OtterBox "all rubber case" I forget the model and just cut out the key area so you have direct access to the keys. I do not even use the battery door anymore with this case. It will handle any battery this way. I use it with a screen protection of course . Get the x or x2 ver.
The best part about the Motorola extended battery is that it's slim enough to fit inside most if not all cases. I have it and it lasts me all day and has been compatible with every case I've ever owned.
Purchased this replacement battery door from Amazon.com for $13.99...Because it's an aftermarket product, my initial concern was that it was going to look cheap and fit poorly; boy was I wrong. Build quality is quite good, and surprisingly, it fits rather well. Due to the thick aluminum plate, the battery door is quite solid and rigid, and adds a slight amount of weight to the Galaxy S II, giving the phone a nice feeling in the hand. (I always thought the Galaxy S II was a bit too light, giving it a cheap feel). Another added benefit is that it looks great, and adds contrast to the all black color of the phone.
As you can see in the pictures, the aluminum has a laser etched, carbon fiber pattern with a shiny mirror finish, with Samsung engraved at the bottom.Quite attractive in my opinion. Having a mirror finish does make it a fingerprint magnet; although it doesn't bother me that much. The battery door does add a very slight (less than 1mm) of added thickness to the phone. This does not interfere with it fitting into a case. I'm using a Casemate Pop case, and it fits just fine.
This battery door does not interfere with cell signal or GPS signal in any way whatsoever. Because it's mainly aluminum, it also acts as a heat sink somewhat. I strongly recommend getting this battety door. It's much better than the cheap, paper thin door that comes with the phone.
Overall, I would rate this product a strong 9/10 for quality and a solid 10/10 for design and asthetics. You can get this directly from Amazon.com for $13.99 plus shipping.
If you type "SGH-i777 battery door" in the search window on Amazon, it will bring this up in the search results.

Thanks. I could not get that to come up last night no matter how I tried searching.
Tempted to get one. Just not sure how much a fan I am of the design. Contemplating this or just a brushed aluminum back cover in black.
I also ordered this battery door. I wasn't sure about the design either but it really looks great. To me, the SGS II was too light, and made the phone feel cheap. This battery door adds a small amount of weight, making it feel more solid. It also gives the phone a distinguished look and doesn't look like a cheap plastic device anymore. 100x better than the thin, cheap plastic battery door that comes with the phone.

Both the aluminum phone cases I tried messed with GPS badly. I would be curious as to how you are so sure that it doesn't and what tests you used.

It's not a case, it's a battrry door, and I can assure you it does not affect the radio signal or the GPS reception at all. Not sure what you mean by tests, but I am able to get a GPS lock in about a minute or so in my house, and a lock in my truck in under 30 seconds. This might sound crazy, but I've actually noticed a slight improvement with radio reception. With the stock battery door, I averaged 1-2 bars in my house. With this aluminum door, I'm averaging 3-4 bars. I've also noticed that my phone stays a little cooler too. Aluminum is great at disappating heat, acting as a heat sink. I'm ordering another battery door as a back up. That's how much I like this door.
My friend has the brushed aluminum version and its pretty ugly. The mirror finish version looks fantastic.

I seen those metal doors on Ebay when I got my I777 and wondered the same thing about the GPS/radio signal. After reading your post I got to thinking, my Captivate and my Vivid both have metal doors. (duh!) Thanks for the reassurance!

You're welcome. I don't think you will be disappointed. Much better than the stock door. Besides, just about every HTC phone is made mostly of aluminum, and receptiin is usually pretty good.

So I'm looking at the flip case made by Samsung and noticed the back cover is substantially thicker than the one that comes on the phone. It also looks like you could snip off the flap that covers the screen. I know, kinda defeats the purpose but at very minimum, you'll have better protection on the back....
Anyone actually like this case as is? I find it cumbersome for most situations and only see its value for covering the face while in a pocket. I'm thinking to chop the front off and use it just for the back.
Bring on the OtterBox!
As a side Note, the flip case back is also textured and does provide a grippier feel.

Returning mine
I bought mine at the AT&T store. The back of the case is the best part, it is superior to the provided battery backing supplied with the phone.
I feel like the flip cover can get in the way of certain actions, particularly talking photos. It makes holding the phone feel a little unnatural whether you leave the flip cover open to the side or folded against the back. For those two reasons I've gone back to the standard battery back and will be exchanging it for another case or a refund.

I've noticed the same while using mine, especially while taking pictures. I originally purchased one from at&t but have since returned it due to Best Buy giving me one for purchasing the device from them ( saved me $50). This is definitely a temporary case until new cases become available.
Anyone looking to buy the official flip case. Let me know Ian going to sell mine. PM me if u are interested.

Picture taking is not as easy as I'd like it to be. I do like not needing a screen cover. I have a white note with the brown Samsung flip cover. It looks very professional and did not take long to get used to.
Man I went to Best Buy to check this case out and for $30 bucs its about the biggest POS for a case I have seen..
Theres ZERO protection on any of the sides..I'm not even sure how it provides any protection at all really..
I ended up getting the Yoobao Slim case...theres some pics below..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22881779&postcount=9
Provides some good drop protection and is cheaper...Doesnt add much bulk and still fits in my pocket with no issues.
I agree its quite the POS for $30. But for free, it'll do..... Until a replacement gets ordered.

Yep... this.
I like the way the brown one looks ont he white but the front is pretty flimsy and they didn't put too much thought into the overall design. The fact that it replaces the back was a nice thought and helped keep the thickness down opposed to a lot of the journal/folio cases you see on Amazon though.
I'll still probably end up replacing it with one of the aluminum bumpers that looks really nice and offer some more protection.

That's nice, I am ordering that one tonight, thanks for the info and heads up! It looks like that will fit perfectly in my PDAir belt case I have coming, http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_10000000_11001331&products_id=34279
The edge of the flipcover came apart on me today. it is peeling open. the edges are just heat sealed material around a thin plastic slab. have been using since launch day. i have Best Buy's GSBTP so if i drop it and it breaks, i'll just get another Note - so i am not too worried about the protection factor from drops. i like the idea of the flip cover, however it does get in the way of the camera and can make using the camera awkward.
i think the lines / grooves that show in a zagg shield would bug me...
hopefully i will find something i like...

Ok, I worded that really weird. When I work out, it's unavoidable to sweat, so using my Infuse, I would always have to wipe it down after I talked on it. Yeah, it sucked. But I would rather wipe it off of this, than my screen.
Is this the same one???
I got it for $9 and it protects the corners of the Note. Little flimsy but I thought it was worth the cost and am still using it after 4 days.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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:

One of my favorite features of the Note and S series phones is the removable battery. I'd like to be able to easily swap out the battery while still using some kind of case. I bought a SUPCASE Hybrid on Amazon, but it's so tight and difficult to remove that I'm afraid I'll eventually hurt the phone by taking it off once or twice per day. It's also pushing my screen protector up at the sides because it's so damned tight.
I had one of these cases for the Galaxy Note 2, and it worked very well. It was stretchy enough that I could take it off and put it back on all the time without fearing that I was going to damage the case or phone.
Has anyone found a case like this for the Note 3 that allows easy access to the battery of the phone? I'd pay $100 if I could get one of those Body Glove cases for the Note 3.
I'm considering buying a Seidio Surface because it looks like it might be easy to work with. (Top and bottom seem to slide off rather than needing to be peeled off.)
I have a feeling that I'm not the only one here who's particular about this, so I figured I'd make a post. Any ideas anybody? Thanks in advance.

Searching around on Samsung's online store and it doesn't look like they have them up for the Note 3 yet... shame.
The S-View case is the easiest thing in the world to take off in under a second really, also the other day I put my Caseology case on forgetting to put my battery cover on first and walked around all day like that without any problems lol. But umm yea the S-View if you simply pull on the case it snaps right off the back and it is very thin and light.

Searching around on Samsung's online store and it doesn't look like they have them up for the Note 3 yet... shame.

Yeah I'm frustratingly, patiently waiting for them to release it. They seem to be taking their time

Tech21 is easy to remove.
I tried Incipio one at AT&T store and the phone removal is a bit hassle.

The S-View case is the easiest thing in the world to take off in under a second really, also the other day I put my Caseology case on forgetting to put my battery cover on first and walked around all day like that without any problems lol.

I went to a local T-Mobile store tonight and they had way more GNote 3 stuff in stock than I expected. They had a "buy two, get one free" sale so I picked up a S-View and two cases for less than $100. I really like how the S-View feels compared to Samsung's previous flip covers, but it disappoints me that the notification LED is still covered up. It didn't occur to me until after I'd walked out that this flip cover will also totally defeat the usefulness of the "Dynamic Notifications" app which I'm currently in love with.

Yup! Tech21 is one of the three cases I got tonight and it's the one I'm most happy with right now. It feels very solid, looks good and is pretty easy to slip off. There's just enough lip to prevent the touchscreen from touching my desk when I place it face down, but not enough to make it difficult to remove. It peels off way easier than the other cases of this type I've tried. :good:
I can tell you from using the flip cover for Note II, any Samsung official flip/s-view case is going to be the easiest option for wapping batteries, I do it every day and can't wait to get one for my Note III
Spiegen Bounce case is super easy to take off yet is still very protective.

I don't think samsung is going to release anything official under $50 until all the half off coupon codes expire. Right now there is one item available to use that code on, the S pen and nothing else.
