I am very interested in this case. Will probably order one, but was hoping someone had tried one already and could give their thoughts on it. You can see my thoughts on the extended battery I already have at this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24815396&postcount=14
I think this power case option looks much better than the lump I have now.
I really like the idea of putting the extra battery capacity into the case. I saw this a long time ago for the iPhone, and was hoping that someone would come out with this for our phone, and they did, but not as nice as some I have seen for the iPhone. I would like one that wrapped around onto the face a little bit, for some protection when I put the phone face down.
Anyone seen any other companies making similar ones for our phone yet?
The case you linked is for the wrong Note. Look for the I717 (ATT Note), not the N7000 (international version).
There is a difference in the back design between the two phones.

This doesn't replace the battery door, so it should work fine. Unless you know of some other difference I am not aware of. I have used about 3 different international versions of bumpers/surrounds/cases on my i717 without any issue. A problem only happens when you try to use the wrong battery door.
I think it will fit perfectly on the US note. It is simply a case and all cases i have bought so far weren't for the US note but fit perfectly.
If this is good quality then this is something I might look at too. I like the fact that it will add more battery life and protect the Note in one item. Please post how it works once you get it.

Is it additive?
So plug this on the back and I get 5700 mAh? Since it doesn't replace the back cover, see no difference between International and US version.
Don't buy it i bought one it doesn't have that size battery, if you open it up it actually has a 2000mah battery so it really is a 1600 may since its Chinese i bought one for my galaxy s2 from same guy and the battery was half the size stated on case. Pure junk

I know that many of us here are looking for a desk type dock that actually will work if the Note has a thin case on it. Anyone know of any? I can't see having to take the case off and put it on every time i want to use the dock.

The Elago G4 slim case works fine with docks but has open top and bottom.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note™
I'm liking the Momax so far. It's got a lip on the front, which I love, and the fit was ok. The phone is much more comfortable against my ear now, but I had to trim the inside of the case where it touches the power button. I think the international note had a little more inset on the power button, so this case was over compensating with a little bump there. Quick trim sorted it out.
Bringing this back on topic, I can say for a fact that this dock (http://www.ebay.ca/itm/220923137856?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649) which I bought prior to the Momax case, is not at all compatible. It is however a good fit without a case (not that that's any use to me now).
Curious about the doc that the OP is talking about. Definitely want to see more pics of docs with cases.
Just thought I should follow up on this now that I have the dock.
It fits great with the Momax case, and looks much better in person than I thought it would. Also the ebay seller was very good, they screwed up and sent me the wrong dock at first, but they caught the error, and shipped the right one within a day (and told me to keep the wrong dock when it got here, no charge).
I'll see if I can take a few pics in a bit.
Sorry to revive the thread, but could you put some pictures of the dock ?
I have a case mate Tough..I guess I'm screwed for now ?
I have one of these from Seidio, and it's GREAT. Small footprint, easy on, easy off. Works just fine with my mercury gel case.

D018 Desktop Dock Mount Cradle Charger For Samsung Galaxy Note i9220 GT-N7000
I've been looking around for an extended battery for some time for this big screen 4g juice sucker. looking around the internet there only seems to be an international version of extended battery.
http://www.amazon.com/QCell-Samsung...2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1330794008&sr=1-2
I've been using the QCell 2x regular batteries for galaxy note and so far it's quite good. Granted these 2 batteries combined can last me for a day without charging but I still look forward to using only one battery.
Looking at the label on the regular battery, I see it caters to the i9220 version (which is the international one). My guess is that it's not the battery, but the cover does not fit the i717? Has anyone try to mod the above cover to use on the i717?
Seidio is bringing one out.
EDIT: I removed the link because it says not compatible with the i717. Sorry for my confusion.
What are the chances of getting a higher capacity battery of the same size? I have a case on mine so I would like more battery life without having to take it off and those extended batteries are too bulky for me.

That says it's not compatible with the LTE Note, a.k.a. ATT Note.
Most folks report great battery life. I wonder if just having a second battery is enough rather than the expense of an extended one. Thoughts?

No prob. And I am a bit confused. Wonder why it wouldn't work in the ATT Note? The Notes don't share the same battery? Weird.
---------- Post added at 09:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 PM ----------
Guess what? The link in the OP also states it is not compatible with the ATT Note. The user review states something about the back not snapping on correctly so that may be the issue. Don't know but... Beware!
yeah I would really like an extended battery. have a 9 hour flight coming up and will likely have to just get a 2nd one, as I don't want to have to worry about conserving battery as I'm going to be quite bored for 9 hours
thanks for the link justnada22, i'll check it out when it's available, though your site doesn't appear to be loading for me currently.
I asked Mugen Power whether they will bring the extended battery + integrated kickstand to the i717 and they said "working on it".

Galaxy Note Extended Batteries and Cases
Sorry to resurrect a slightly older thread, but I found some answers and wanted to share.
So I own two Galaxy Note International N7000s and just bought one AT&T i717.
Yes, I can confirm that, for whatever reason, the batteries are just slightly different in shape. I have no idea why. As a result, you need two different extended batteries for each one, you can find them on Amazon from Hyperion, and they're both clearly labeled as to which battery fits which. I've bought both, and they all fit their intended models just fine.
Like many of you, I was looking for a case for my Notes with extended batteries, and I could only find one for the N7000:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007R5I8KA/
It seems that there are none for the i717.
But the good news is that this case DOES fit the i717 AT&T Note with the extended Hyperion battery as well. It holds on snugly, and is fine for that model. There is some air space inside, because the AT&T Note has a smaller battery protrusion and so it doesn't perfectly match the curvature of the case (which is larger) but you'll never notice that, and this is far better than carrying around your Note and extended battery with no case! I bought the red version of this case which is on my i717 AT&T Note, and is just wonderful! It feels so much safer than a Note with no case. So, speaking just for myself, WOULD BUY AGAIN EVEN FOR THE AT&T NOTE!!!
I posted similar information in the product reviews for the Black and Red versions of the case, just to try to help.

C-sign...I don't mind this case with the i7i7 battery back either.
What is the largest extended battery that is reliable that can be used with the stock battery cover? Is it the Anker 2700?

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.

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.

I REALLY don't like the ugly US battery covers. They all have that awful squared off hump except for Mugen. I'm not in position to drop $100 on the Mugen, but want something like that. This seems to be the best imitation:

It's nowhere to be found on the internet.
its almost impossible to find extended battery for Samsung Galaxy Alpha. i dont care for the back look of the phone therfore i attacted the Motorola Turbo battery on the back of the Samsung Alpha. now it gives more then 5 days standby and more then 2 days on full gaming of surfing on WIFI.

Yup, I'm not sure. Need to check at home when exactly I bought the handset, but at least year and a half ago. Rubber came off a little bit in the up corners of the back cover. I'll try to attach some pics later.

ok! I just hope it's better than my 1600 mah
Not able to find one, can any one help me is there any way to get it in India?
A friend of mine bought exactly this battery:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bateria-Int...954252?hash=item2cbb1f56cc:g:hmsAAOSwax5YuFxS
And I believe it is not a fake capacity 2200mah it doesn't support NFC though, but is slightly thicker and fits very tight in the slot. He's been using it for nearly half a year now and it lasts for 1,5-2 days when fully charged.
They seem to be as extinct as dodos, spoken to all known suppliers in the UK and cant find any. I have them in my Alpha and it makes a huge difference.
What I need is the back cover (the 2500mah batteries are slightly thicker so have a special back to cater for the extra thickness, a standard back cover wont fit with 2500mah battery) if anyone has any of those, would be willing a pay a premium for 1 or 2 of them.
