I'll probly get some flack for this cuzz it's a bit ugly ... but for us geek freeks who care more about performance than looks this works... and it ain't quite as bad as I thought it would be when I started out... turns out to be quite a conversation starter when people notice it... "hey what's that little box on the back of your phone?"... "you MADE that?!"... blah blah blah
So ... first thing I did was grab one of these on ebay

Then one of these... the brand doesn't matter I guess so any 6400mAh battery and cover will do...
Then let the hacking begin... the microSD to SD adapter is a bit thick because it has PC board material stuck to both sides so I peeled that stuff off... it's just glued on there with some basic weak adhesive so it comes right apart with some slow coaxing... then there's the micro side of the adapter... it's a bit long so it sticks out of the micro slot too far and hits the battery... no biggie... A couple clips with finger nail clippers and it fits perfect. Then all you need to do is cut a hole in the back cover with the trusty Dremel tool and it's a wrap... did I mention I LOVE THIS PHONE!!
Pics of the inside... adapter trimmed and inserted... card slot taped down with some Carbon Fiber Vinyl wrap I had left over...
Pics of the outside... hole cut in the back cover... SD adapter sticking out all obvious like
And that's about the size of it... the world's first extended battery/extended memory Galaxy Note 3 (I don't know if that's true or not... just talking smack) .... and I love it... battery lasts forever and I can cram buttloads of crap on this thing for my long hours sitting on the crane with nothing to do but watch movies etc...
The one thing I didn't take pictures of is the whole thing with the gel case on it... makes the mod barely noticeable at all for a cleaner look... but I hardly use it that way cuzz I don't like the rubbery case feel trying to get it in and out of my pocket... plus it hides my little conversation piece
Next thing I wanna try is this bad boy... make my N3 better than my damn netbook
Sick. Imma try it out. Thanks for the tut This stuff makes the xda world spin.

I used to do something similar with my note 2 and s4. I had trimmed the adapter down, and cut a small hole in the stock back cover. Then I used a basic tpu case (stretchy) to cover it up.
But I started getting nervous about leaving a $100 sd card exposed, and able to get knocked around. So with my note 3 I I got an extended battery cover (either hyperion or anker- they sent it too me free) and tapped down the battery and sd card so they wouldn't flop around inside.
So mine looks like a normal note 3 with an extended battery, and have the best protection for the sd card.
Plus its probably the easiest way to do it.
I did the same thing at first... then I couldn't stand the idea of all the extra, unused space in there and I had to do it with the extended battery included... best of both worlds... and the way I use my phone ... having the SD card exposed doesn't bother me at all... This phone never sees any rough use at all.
yeah I did that on my note 2 with the zerolemon 9300mah battery. Impressive battery life, but honestly I'm next to an outlet pretty much all day, and usually keep it plugged in because I'm tethering.
But cool mod, what kind of life are you getting on it?
Pretty solid battery... I'm at 1d 19h with 9h screen time and 30% left... I've been babying this battery through the first few cycles though... always let it run down to absolute zero... then recharge at 750mA while I'm sleeping... takes like 7 hours to charge but it has made the battery better and better as I go along... especially at the bottom of the battery... from 10% to zero takes foreeeeveeerrrrr.

I've got nothing really to add except this is awesome. I came from a Galaxy Nexus with a 3600mah extended battery and I barely got 3 hours of screen time.
Now with the Note 3 I'm getting 5-6 hours of screen time with the stock 3200 mah batery. I told myself there is no reason for an extended battery with this phone. 9 hours of screen time and obviously another 2 hours probably coming, you've got me thinking.
Great write up.
Yeah I can't justify this because I get 5-6 hours screen time and 15-20 hours battery life on a stock phone, but I appreciate the attention to detail. I was actually thinking with my GS3 that maybe I could attach a heating or two to the hottest components on the PCB and then cut out the back cover to allow them to get cool air. The goal was to allow massive overclocking, assuming heat was the only issue.

Does the device support it up to 128gb?
Or is it just microSD cards that have the limit up to 64gb
This is definetly something i want to try. Might even fit under my zerolemon 10000mah battery and case

If you look at when the thread was posted... we didn't have them back then... also... I tried one of those micro sd's... for the same money I can get a standard sd that's three times faster... AND...

Nope. I guess i have nice friends
Also, a few of my mates own iphones so they wouldn't dare lol
yeah they do sometimes really mostly when i first got it but i had some nice rebuttals and rips for the iphone
I have the body glove case for mine and whenever I pull it out people at my high school are like damn! that's one giant brick! I just laugh at their cracked and chipped screens.
I've got the 2300 battery/case and random people ask me if my iphone was worth the money, lol.
So, no....I don't get made fun of for it, except for people calling me a tool for buying Apple products, lol.
Also, random people are stupid.
I actually like the feel of the phone better with the large battery. I've accidentally dropped the stock G1 a few times because it was clumsy to hold, haven't had that problem with the extended case.
Everyone is used to these smaller devices now, Nexus One, IPhoney, etc, etc.
Thats why there is "phonism", which translates into phone racism. hahaha
Forget that I want a full qwerty physical keyboard.
All touchscreen phones are complete garbage.
... maybe in 2020 they will perfect it hopefully.

We can safely expect our mobile devices in 2020 to be running smaller 10NM dual i-7 processors with 2GB of DDR3 RAM, Nvidea 9800GT technology, HD holographic display, 14MP camera, stereo speakers with small built in subwoofer, AN ACTUAL 3.5MM out, full keyboard [of course], HDMI out [already around on mobile phones...] and perhaps a small built in toaster oven.
Oh, and at a length and width of perhaps an i-Phone and a thickness of a couple credit cards stacked onto each other.
yeah my friend gives me **** when i have the extended battery on but he is still carrying a moto razor.

Mine worked fine and a lot of people laughed before i showed them my phone and how i could listen to Pandora ALLL day at work and still have battery lleft while their blackberrys only worked for 1hr max. jaja. but then again, the cases i got were so weak, i went through like 4 extended batt covers in weeks of using it, then i just started using superglue, tape, and not putting it in my pocket. By the way... anyone want to buy these 3 extra ext batteries i got laying around? lmao jk
I have an N1 now but I have 2400 battery for my G1 that I use ever so often. It's funny how people react to it, they are like WTF is that. Once they realize how much I use my phone (the way it was intended) they understand because they have battery issues and I don't; well with the g1 with the N1 that's a different story.
Also I have my g1 taped up to stop the creeking and the fake back I got for extended battery broke so its tapped as well so it looks like a hobo brick
Lol @ hobo brick!

Energizer partnered up with Xpal Power and came out with a fantastic product that I have been using for almost a year.
As a matter of fact I recently went and bought a second one because my HTC Amaze
needs a lot of energy. And I do a lot of things on my phone. You can recharge this device
up to 500 times. AND it powers 2 devices at the same time. So now you can charge 2 phones,
a phone and an iPod, or whatever at the same time.
The price of this product is around $60 and IS WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!
If the price is too steep for you, then check out their other model that charges only 1 device at a time.
I got mine from Target.
This device is called the Energizer Energi To Go XP4001.
More details can be viewed HERE.
What kind of person would I be if I didn't post pictures..... so here they are....
1. Fits in the palm of my hand just right. In a guy's hands it might be a bit smaller.

Duracell makes one thats a little bigger than an ipod nano was $20 at the grocery store of all places It only has one usb. & only a 1200mah battery but it takes mine from dead to %60 so if you just need a boost mid day its perfect. Fits in that tiny second pocket in the front pocket of you jeans. That thing she had was a beast and i dont have a man purse & you can just use the stock cable no little attachments to loose. Do-Do brown my girlfriend looked over my shoulder & was like wtf is on her nails. Lol, i said either a very unique color or a bad bathroom experience.

I'm tired of stock pink nails thank you very much.... I like to think outside the box at times.... and I want my charger to take me from 0-100 ... not to 60.... and my phone can charge 0-100 ... 2 times.... that's what I like about the charger.... and I got 2 of them chargers.... so I can charge my phone 4 times without needing a plug.... great for road trips or charging in my back pocket when I'm at work standing on my feet ..... .... and those are NOT DOO-DOO brown either...
I have a D30 power case from tmo, gives me back like 80% of the actual battery power since it's a 1500mah battery, fits snugly on the phone, so it isn't really out of place while charging and well I get to do whatever it was I was doing while getting a charge, cost about 60 too I think, I got mine for free with the phone though, lol.

I'm wary of these devices as to how much CURRENT they provide for charging. Have you measured the charging current?
I was interested in reviewing the Anker Astro3 which appears to give a typical phone 4-5 charge cycles, but the distributor turned me down. Perhaps someone here with deep pockets will report on one....
P.S. Nice avatar, Mz. What kinda charge does THAT handheld take?

Honestly Chomejob I can sit here and make up crap all day.... but in reality I honestly do not know. All I know is that it charges 2 devices at the same time. I charge 1 at a time simply because I only bought it for 1 device. So I get 2 charges out of 1 battery for my phone. And I have 2 of these batteries. So technically I get 4 charges.
Thank you for the compliment. That pic is from 2 years ago. I just love the gun!
Hey everyone here is my little review on the Qcell "4150 mAh" Extended battery sold on Amazon.
First thing I have to say is that I WILL be updating this post as I go through charge cycles with this battery.
Upon receiving the battery yesterday, I put it to charge right away. I did a stress test on it and let it recharge once more after draining. I must say that the packaging on it is better than most "ebay" batteries that I receive. It came in a little "Qcell" pouch with the battery and cover.
Today, I tested the battery. It ran for ~18hrs 40 min with a 4 hour screen time and 3 email accounts pushing with moderate internet browsing.
I have to say at the moment, it is not worth carrying this pregnant phone around with only the ~5 hrs increase in usage time. However, I hope that after it goes through some charge cycles it will get better. The battery it self is about 1.4 cm thick(I just used a ruler and eyeballed it)
Now moving on to the cover. The back cover is white and semi close to the OEM back cover. It has no markings anywhere and is not as glossy. The back "hump" is is unlike the Mugen Extended Battery covers, it only raises the battery portion while leaving the camera/flash flush with the phone. The cover does feature the NFC however, I do not know how to test it . It also has NO kickstand.
Problems:
My main complaint at the moment is the cover IS VERY LOOSE on the phone . I do not even need to pry it apart using the corner near the volume rocker, I can literally pull it off by jiggling it from one side.
I have sent a complaint to Qcell and they are sending me a new cover so hopefully I just received a defective model.
In conclusion, the battery it self isn't too pricy and I honestly should expect a premium quality with it. The battery does it's job by outlasting the OEM/Ankers that I use but at the moment I would rather stick with my Ankers. The pregnant phone also doesn't look as attractive and slick. I also cannot use my case which makes me very paranoid about dropping it.
Let me know if you guys need any more pictures or have any questions!
Here are some picture comparisons of the battery on my phone, OEM and Extended.
P.S. sorry about the last picture, my OEM battery is still in use so I decided to grab the next closest thing, the Anker one haha.

I rather carry a normal size spear battery in my pocket.
Update after a week of use.
After about a week of use, I can say that it honestly is not worth carrying this around. If Qcell would produce a better battery cover then I may consider going back but at the cost of my phones beauty and impracticality I'm going to have to put this battery away except for when I have no other batteries to use.
The battery has performed better(as it should) from day one. I can get a full day of heavy use which is nice, but the LOOSE battery cover just keeps me paranoid.
How this has helped you with your choice on 1 of the many extended batteries out there.
I like it
Just wanted to help out and say try it again. I had a heck of a time getting my cover on as well. I like how I can mod my old silicone case for this. And battery will hopefully get better with time.
Tip- try placing phone on flat surface and press hard on edges near battery. Mine snaps tight.
I think it would be a better idea just to get another battery. That over-sized battery just looks hideous on the phone. How were you able to put it in your pocket?

I completely agree, I have 3 ankers at my disposal along with my OEM
But I just figured I give it a shot since no one on the forums has done a review on it yet and it is also my first Extended battery for any phone I have owned.
If you have decided it is something you will not use and you would consider selling it, I am interested. I am in the hospital at the moment, but should be out by Wednesday, I will have my paycheck by then and can make arrangements with you.

Jb0nd38372,
They are only 11 bucks on Amazon with free shipping. I think it's cheaper than buying from me TBH. Because shipping it out to you would cost a few bucks.
Thanks for the offer tho!
Ok just thought I would offer, and I had never checked price, actually just skipped to the review part. Gotta wonder for 11 bucks wonder what they skipped on. The cells may be of the "questionable" quality.

Haha good choice, go with Ankers or OEMs. Had the best output with them.
Just sent my QCell Batteries back to Amazon. One would not take a charge and the other one would only last 9 hours.
Picked up Anker as a replacement.

It looks kinda cool, but once I started reading I lost faith...
"This product is suitable for Samsung Galaxy Note. In addition to being a super battery life of portable back-up battery pack, you can also be used as the Samsung Galaxy Note protective cover, bring to your iPad strong momentum and excellent console protection."
Looks good if you buy it post a review I'm curious to know if its good or not.

Im confused. Do you have to already own the ipad or does it come with one? If it doesn't come with one can I use the "strong momentum and excellent console protection" on a different device, or perhaps other non-related items such as my cat?
I think I might buy that. Slimmer than the mugen, and it doubles as a portable charger or extender for 35 bucks.
I see one problem with it though, can't take the stylus out with the phone in it.

Actuall i think you can. If you look at the corner there appears to be a gap there. I bet thats an opening to access the s-pen. I went with the super thick super cheap extended battery. $8 for a batter that lasts me a couple days is nice. If you, or anyone else for that matter, gets this please take some pictures for us so we know what we're dealing with in thickness and effectivness. And and let me know if it helps you ipad out any.

I dunno, if you look at picture 4 and 7, it shows the word "IN". 4 looks like where the stylus would be, but on picture 7 its the same spot on the phone just flipped and it shows the USB port for charging it.
Looks like a good alternative for $35. Total charge capacity would be 5500 mAh, assuming all 3000 mAh of the Brando battery can be transferred to the phone. That would be about the same as the Mugen 5400 mAh extended battery.

Ahah...im pretty sure those photos were added or my browser choked and didnt load them last time as I only saw the first photo, and thats why i asked for more pics. I like that it has a kick stand and isnt too thick. I may get one when the price comes down some and if the reviews indicate they are worth buying.

also this sounds like a real PITA:
* Please Charge the Battery Case before Usage.
* Please Charge the Battery Case and Samsung Galaxy Note Separately. (Do Not Charge the Battery Case and Samsung Galaxy NoteAt the Same Time)

It's not a passthrough, so the placement doesnt matter much. The thickness will prevent it from being used it most/all docks. According to the site you must take this off the phone in order to charge it or the phone. I do tons of supplemental charging on and off through the day that this is absurd and out of the question for me. But if you find yourself only charging at night only then this is not likely to be a big issue for you, only you will need to have a second charger at your night stand to charge them both.
see i plug mine in a lot through the day as well... would be nice to see one with pass though charging as well.
Looks cool but I think it would add to much weight and bulk.
not for At&t i717 note?!?
I think the pic is of the unbranded note and it is different enough to not fit at&t model.
I purchased a miikey external 5200 mah(? Not sure of #, but close) and it is like having 3 extra batteries without turning off phone to change out.
cost was: orig. $89.95, i hit a nice sale and got it for $50.oo purchased at at&t store in central nj!
the only thing it is not good for is if you need power when connected to a pc.
my original battery either needs calibration after rooting or i have a defective battery. so, i use this till i can figure out what is going on. prolly needs calibration.
The company already has a plan for a charging case. Can't wait to buy it. HYPEEEEEE

What's the point when the phone charges to 50% in 30 mins?

When your phone is almost dead and there is no plug or you are traveling and need to charge it. Simple.

This was my thought, if this case is more expensive than a Car Dash charge it'd be pointless for me! The battery life on this phone is just insane as it is, got 6hours SOT yesterday, I've NEVER gotten anything past 3/3.5 hours before.

They just look so ugly too, to put a huge bulky case on a phone which has gotten very nice and slim...eek!
What they didn't tell you is that their plan is NOT to make a case for the OP5.
Just say'n.

Roughly when will this battery case be released?

People that are out all day and evening but also want to use their phone normally. You might go to work, head out that evening, have a few drinks, crash at a friends and go direct to work. They have their uses, people that go camping also get good use from them as well as battery packs.
I have the one for the 3/t. It's huge but it's useful for long flights. The fact it works as a power bank was also useful to charge my buddy's phone too.

It's not rocket science is it? Lol.. The moor accessories, the moor better I say!
Hey. When is that? Can you ship one to me in India please? my email is joy (a) srinjoysen (.) com
I wonder if this actually is going happen? Yeah the battery last long enough but who would complain about more juice?
I had one for my S7 Edge. Problem with this case is USB OTG function won't work anymore. Have to remove the case.

We are waiting for this battery case... i'm waiting for like 2/3 months i guess, when you said the same thing to me on twitter... Do something like iphone 7, with 5k mAh, and slim.
In 2 days after the announce of iphone you guys put the case to sell... Come on, more you guys delay, less we'll buy it!
And please, try to sell using Ebay, amazon can't delivery to Brazil anymore e_e.
*Waiting for the case*
Well I happen to add the Amazon place holder on my wishlist and then accidently clicked on it today and it said available!. So, I just ordered one. Anyone know when this first became available to buy? Anyone have one? I hated the one for the nexus 5 with a passion, but I'll give it another shot for the rare times i need it.

Less than 2 weeks ago. Have been waiting for someone to post reviews and videos. Please do post as many photos as possible. Want to know if headphone jack requires an extra dongle for reach. If that's the case it's not for me
Just so you know, it costs $59.99 on Zerolemon's site with a 10% disc if you use THANKYOU10. I dont know how much you paid for it. It's not a referral code or anything.

so i use that itty bitty powerpack on my keychain or the big ass powerbank in my backpack
Okay got it today. Here are as many angles as I could think of that would be helpful and I compared the size with a nexus 4 and an iPhone 5s. I've tried 3 different headphones and all connected without any problems (the slot is huge). However, i wouldn't use one with an L shaped connection. It was very difficult to remove. Straight ones were no problem. The speaker grills are kind of nice. Holding the phone in landscape doesn't block the sound this way. Although I'm not sure how long you could hold it. It's heavy as hell! I can't comment on battery life of course anytime soon, but if there's any other questions let me know.

Well give it like a week trail , and see how it goes, if it works out well for you , though i'm wondering if it gets warm , etc if it's in your pocket while giving it charging power and so on. There has to be some kind of that going on to keep it up to 100%, otherwise if it works out well for you, i will buy it as well.
