Neo Spigen hybrid case is probably the best case for the extended battery. The added extra (barely noticebale) weight and thickness makes the phone better to hold in my opionion. It remeinds me of the 2013 motox where when you hold on it, it feels nice on your palm.
Did you notice that the phone with the extended battery even without the spigen case feels a lot comfortable to hold with that extra weight?

Yes even without case it feels much better in the hands. With regular battery its too light like a paper, and I feel like I will drop it anytime.
I think its because the extra thickness gives you more traction, on sits perfctly on your palm. Unlike where the original one, your hand/ finger placment is only on the metal side which is really slippery.
I have same configuration for about 3 months now work perfect
So are the battery stats with extended battery for 4.4 or lollipop?

I have the ringke fusin as well.. It fits but you will lose the front lip of the case. So be careful when you drop front face first lol.. But hey alpha has gorilla glass 4 so its all good.
other cases
Have you tried any other case apart from ringke and spigen? if so let us know.

Are there any extended batteries available for the AT&T version yet?
The Hyperion 5000 mah battery on Amazon looks awesome, but the back cover doesn't fit the US version
Maybe u can tweak the back cover.
What moved? Is there a thread where they show the difference in rear cover between the AT&T version and the international version?
Is the battery that bulky or what? I just don't see the purpose of their bulky back cover. Seidio is coming out with their own extended battery, a little pricey but I would prefer it.

whats the biggest extended battery so far that can fit in the standard back?
Don't think there's any extended batteries that fit the OEM cover.
I took an x-acto knife and carefully modified the tabs from the amazon hyperion battery, took me 20 mins and it fits fine.
That said, it has a good feel in the hands, but it makes the phone pretty ugly.
Had.some free at.work.and an extra defender,made a mode for the hyperion..fits well and still appears slim..

nice job. I did the same thing with my resound and it worked great. now it's sitting on the shelf since getting the N3 :good:
So basically all you have to do is dremel out the back of the otterbox? I am using a zero lemon but it is a bit too bulky for me. Thinking about going this route if it is a viable option.
Does the battery bulge out at all on the rubber?
I'm also interested in hearing how much extra bulge this gives. I want to get a ZeroLemon but the case is like a puff pastry compared to the sleekness of the OtterBox. Plus that Max-5 has got me itching to mod the ZL into the OB just wondering how much tug the Hyperion gives on the silicone and if you think there would be enough play to fit a Zl in there. I was thinking maybe of shaving down some of the silicon a little since the camo OtterBoxes have a hard plastic print for the design so thinning the rubber behind it wouldn't be too much of a drawback in durability in my opinion. I just don't know if it would give it enough extra space to make the bulge less noticeable. If ZeroLemon is going to get into these rugged cases then hopefully they can slim them down in certain spots so it doesn't look like a bar of soap lol
The Zero Lemon uses some really cheap and hard rubber in comparison to the otter box case. I had a friend custom cut the back of the otterbox for me. I'm just waiting on the Anker battery. He did a really phenomenal job and I'll keep anyone here posted on how it fits.
Here we go... This is the best mod ever, lol. Good bye Zerolemon! The Otterbox is a WAYYYYYY nicer case.
Shout out to Greg for modding the case and making this all possible and thanks to OP for the idea.

Fits great. It has a little bit of a bulge, but nothing anyone would notice unless you said something. It still sits flat on table surface.
Zero lemon will not fit no matter what you do with it. The ZL battery is way too large for any type of modification to work. The rubber won't even wrap around the phone with the battery in.

That's a shame. Seems like they really slimmed down the design with the Note 3 it looks half as thick as I expected it to be. My S3 struggled with the ZL as well though it did fit against all physics. I eventually modded it fully so the rubber laid flat as if the ZL wasn't there. Figured I would give it a shot with the Note 3 OtterBox but not for $70 just yet. The ZL case wouldn't be bad if more time was given to them to slim and refine the design.
The ZL battery seems like its larger than it has to be.. The Anker/Hyperion batteries are rather small and are 6400mah. The ZL is just ridiculously huge.

Yea it really is just gigantic. I just don't know what route I would take. I have seen a lot of impressive battery life out of the Anker/Hyperion batteries that was as good as my S3 with a ZL on it was so if I can get that level of life out of it then I'll just go that route. Saves some weight and bulk. What's nice about the otterbox's is they're easy to stealth the larger batteries. Just run the front plastic piece down with a sander and do the same with the rubber where the battery will go (camo cases exclusively since the camo part is like a hard plastic material, and bam you have original OtterBox thickness with double the battery.

The ZL case is just irritating. It's got this cheap feeling rubber and the buttons are extremely difficult to press. The new defenders feel a lot better than the ones I've owned in the past. This is without a doubt the best defender yet. The rubber is extremely pliable and gives the best button response i've ever felt on a case.

That's good to hear. I keep flip flopping because I keep looking at the ZeroLemon with it's absurd capacity which would be great for me and then I keep thinking about how badly I would just prefer to have an OtterBox but it's $40 more said and done which makes me just rather want to save the money, sacrifice a little quality, and focus on the whole purpose of just getting more battery capacity. I think I will just get the ZL, love it or hate it for a while then switch over to an OtterBox/6400mah combo later if I am not satisfied. I know I can slim the OtterBox to the point where the ZL will fit. Those cases have been flexible enough for me to do it before. It's just way more involved than simply cutting a hole in the back so that's why I don't think anyone's done it. That and the cost to do so is pretty high since they aren't selling just the batteries yet.

Well aware of that but like I said the mod I do isn't a simple "cut hole here and go". I have given the N3 OtterBox 1.5mm (guesstimate) of extra depth on a friends broken case and when I get my ZeroLemon in I will test fit and see how it works. As is the case gives a lot of room for a bigger battery. The anker will fit flush and flat as if it wasn't even there and I don't see any issues at all with fitting a ZeroLemon but time will tell. The more I use this thing the more I think maybe I'll be more satisfied with just an Anker and Otterbox. The battery life is already pretty good. I guess my final judgement will be with the quality of the ZeroLemon case and it's heft. I promise to fit a ZeroLemon into a Note 3 OtterBox though for sure. When I get bored of the ZL case I will do so with a full boat write up.
So I bought the Spigen slim armor with kickstand case just recently and found that it is rather a thick case and added bulk to the N6. It in turns made the N6 not be able to fit the car mount I bought. Anyone got recommendation for a good slim case?

But keep in mind. Slim cases like this offers less protection.
I really like my Diztronic case. It's thin and feels well protected. A few videos on YouTube where people do drop tests and it came out without a scratch.

Try Orzly case, it is very very thin.
The Ringke Max is actually pretty 'slim' with a lot of protection. If you want close to naked feel, then the Ringke Slim might be best, but really not that much protection.

I bought the Spigen Ultra Hybrid (clear), Thin Fit (clear), Slim Armor and S Wallet. IMO the Slim Armor fit and looked the best, but FAT. The TPUs just made the phone uber FAT(er). The wallet hinge/flap/binder thing is too loose and flabby [I wanted tight form fitting].
I ordered several generic gel jelly slim TPU.
First one to arrive is one with a logo that reads INSTEN and I am very impressed by it.
It's tight (queue up Micheal Meyers), lip is thin and holds on to the frame without going over on to the glass, barely raised ever so slightly higher than the screen.
It makes the screen/viewing pop out (it might be the color I chose, yellow).
The cutouts are great, the thinly covered raised areas over the power and volume rocker are just right (if you have the slim armor you might experience what I have, where touching the buttons is just too sensitive).
Grippy and sturdy. Knocked some on the table, I'd use it to press some buttons, sure..
I might go order more colors.
Usually I like Goospery Mercury Gel TPU cases on my phones, but haven't found any made for the N6.
EDIT: easy in and out from pocket.
Thanks guys for your suggestions. I think I'm going to go with the slick wraps full body because it does not add any bulk and provide some protection.

That INSTEN case is identical to the Caseology cases. Probably made in china, and companies just put their own name on it. But they look OK with medium protection.

I'm not doubting your choice, as it's your phone. But any "protection" you get from a skin will be just to prevent scratches and no drop protection. Good luck.

I dont have the caseology, but from the images I can agree, sans dimple. It's a good thing being at 1/3rd the price. I went ahead and bought green and black as well. It is so far my fave case.
I'll add, you know the form, shape that the phone has, makes it fit well in the hand and really gives it that unique feeling that it is a much smaller phone. This case INSTEN keeps that feeling intact..

Agreed. Fairly protective without being too bulky. Good grip too.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a case that preserves the top heaviness and dramatic tapering of thickness at the bottom of the phone? Basically I'm as concerned about drop protection as preserving the original "feel" of the phone.
First off, I have ZERO affiliation with this company - I paid full price for the case and waited 2 weeks for it to come from China (I had this case with my V20 and was happy they made it for the S8)
I have bought slim cases from Ringke, Spigen, Caseology for the S8 (all from Slickdeals $$$ off posts) and so far all of them felt a bit too slick and thick(compared to what I've experienced with other phones).
I don't know why more companies don't use the "Salient point" design (what this company calls the textured back)
Makes it extremely easy to hold the phone and a good feel in the hands.
Is it worth $10 when you have other slim case options out there for much less (with promotions)? Since I've experienced the feel of it previously I personally think it's worth it. I do wish they had US stock and didn't ahve to wait so long for it.
Now I will say this thing is THIN, like this is going to offer almost no protection from a drop thin (you get corner and back protection but that's about it). I didn't get it for that, I got it to help with holding the phone. Will a skin accomplish the same- probably and I've considered the Dbrand Dragon skin too.
I will say the case fits SNUG - I had a hard time getting it off to take some pics of it

the thinnest case would be ones made out of polypropylene. some of them get as thin as PAPER. others get thicker/harder plastic feel, but no real point as any drops will crack your glass...
I always buy TPU thermo polyurethane which is very resilient and i've been surprised a few times on how it protected my phones. the thinnest TPU i found are the CIMO
https://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Cimo-...011&ie=UTF8&qid=1493474636&sr=8-5&keywords=s8
I have the Spigen which is too thick, back side measuring 1.4mm on my calipers
EasyAcc TPU which i'm rocking right now which is 1.3mm
Cimo which hasn't come in yet, but... I've had them for s6 and s7 and it only measures 1mm
I like to cut a small hole and mod the TPU cases so that it works on my modded magnetic charger.

I have this case. It's really nice. Fits well, and really is the thinnest possible case at just .025" thick. I must say it is a little slippery even after using it for a few days. I'll probably try and find a similar one that has a bit better grip, but I would certainly recommend it.
I'd also like to mention there is a small raised lip around the camera opening make the fingerprint reader easier to find while adding a little extra protection the camera.

Loving it so far. It is a bit slippery though, not like other TPU cases I have which provide more grip. The separation between the camera and fingerprint scanner is a nice touch too. I'm guessing it is made from some sort of TPU., it is soft and flexible but not silicone. Be aware this is very light protection. I just wanted something to prevent scratches caused by everyday use. I was going to go naked, but this is pretty close and gives some protection.
I'm loving the new spidgen neo hybrid case

Look, this case is meant to be a minimalist case so I'm not messaging any claims about what would happen if you dropped it face (screen) first onto gravel or an uneven surface but face first on a flat surface the screen is protected and any other basic drop on a corner, back or side I'm fairly certain it would be fine... I'm even able to charge on a Samsung qi wireless charger with the case on...
The textured back is perfect for holding it and gives the phone a nice secure fit to your hand...
I'd give it a 9/10 as it could use a little motmore stand out protection at top and bottom to better protect The screen - but that said, this case is soo thin you won't even notice it on your front jeans our slacks pocket... its seriously svelte...
I picked up spidgen's screen protector 2pk and it's just ok not a fan of The clarity but it's staying put without issue in this case and will have to do until zagg remedies their issues with Their tempered glass for the s8 which is virtually useless and not very case friendly...

There also a tiny lip on the screen side so that it won't rest the glass on surfaces. Looking at it from the front, you can hardly tell that the case is on. The Nature TPU case by Nillkin is also very nice, but you can only get it from China at the moment.

Really? The only nature cases that I've found are shipping from China on Amazon at the moment.

Looks nice. It has a small lip at front to protect the screen?

No Protection with this case. It clearly says in description only for scratch. If you want full protection I would suggest that you get this one from Samsung is very slim:

How is the grip
---------- Post added at 05:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 AM ----------
Does the olixar flexishield actually have something special for grip? They say it's a non slip coating but is it any different than regular tpu
has anyone figured out if there's a way to make this phone less slippery? I tried a bumper case, threw that away since it bulges in front of screen next to fingerprint sensor, I bought the battery back, it's a little more grippy but I'd like to use it without the battery back
Get a skin... It is pretty slippery lol
I use battery mod normally

I went to Verizon and I tried the case made for the Z3, it fitted perfect and now looking to cut at the lines, I may be able to use the 3490 mAh battery mod
