My new battery door (after market) - Galaxy Note 3 Accessories

I got it from ebay for about $8.00, and YES it does add some thickness. Feels nice and cold but it looks like aluminum cover sitting on top of regular one. Feels good to change litlle bit and it $8 it's not too much to spend

How easy is it to put on and remove? Will it get warped with repeated use?

Sure, http://www.ebay.com/itm/14115885092...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
Do not expect anything perfect, it's cheap but good to change for the price.

Little bit harder than oem (to put it on, needs extra press for click) and for removing you will need to use something like pry tool (forget about using nails), this thing is holding firm

Don't know I just got it yesterday. It does look like aluminum frame is just attached to top regular door. It increases thickness but I don't use any cases right now (expecting one in next 2 days)

Does it affect your signal any? A lot of people have said the aluminum frames, bumper or all around cases, seem to affect their mobile reception. Was just wondering if it did that or not.

One more question, you put this over your regular battery door and not a wireless charging battery door? The reason I ask, I have the wireless charging battery door which makes the overall back a bit thicker and wondered if this would fit over this. Probably not but I thought I'd ask. Sorry for all the questions.

Neither. This comes attached to new door.

Ah okay....thanks for answering the questions! :good: It won't work for me as I love my wireless charging door and looking for something to go over it to protect my phone somewhat.

Not sure could this aluminum part be removed and attached (glued) to charging cover. Don't have one to try it

Anything is possible. I've seen so many DIY here on this forum, it spins my mind. I'm not quite that handy but it's definitely an idea I'd like to see someone else try

Could you please post a picture so we can see what you mean? Also, it would help to see if their design is moddable.

nice! i was looking to replace my white back cover for something different.

Sorry, I have been busy but here are couple pictures that might give you idea about possible modding. I almost broke this thing trying to show you more, but decided to stop since I have no wireless charging cover to experiment with it. I used red marking so you can see where is "lower" black cover (aluminum is attached to it, don't know how - didn't remove more than on picture itself but pic 3 shows something like clips), 2nd picture is same door from inside

you have cute hands

it's a aluminum plate, so wireless charging is out.
quality looks good.

Hyperion 3500mAh Extended Battery + Cover - Updated - Pics

I just ordered one of these. Has anyone had any experience with this one? The other Hyperion batteries seem to work fine and people are happy with them.
It is $19.99 on Amazon right now
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Sams...ZDSA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323911333&sr=8-1
Update:
This battery does NOT cause boot loops. Also NFC is not supported with this battery either.
Here are some pictures of the battery on the phone.

Yep Amazon knows how to do it right. My package has been delivered, but I have to wait until I get out of work to test it out.
Edit: Just popped it in my phone and it fits nicely. It's plugged in charging right now with no issues.
I know it's too soon but what are the first impressions?
BTW, before you boot ROM with fully charged Hyperion wipe battery stats in recovery. I found out hard way with my 1800mah Hyper.

I have yet to really use it yet but I'll use it for a few days and see how it does. I'm not so comfortable about having my phone without a case though. The back cover isn't that high quality but it works.

It takes 5 fully charges/discharges to properly calibrate. So that means at least a whole week.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
I have really only used it for like 2 days and when I was it was really heavy usage. As stated before, it does take a few days to properly calibrate the battery so it probably will last much more than I have been experiencing.
Since I do not have a case that works with the battery on I don't feel comfortable using it during work/school but I will be going on vacation trip to SC which is why I bought the battery.
Here was my first day:
The screen on time is all from playing games:
Thanks, Well I really don't know if get one of those or this one, on amazon search for B002MQUYU6
I want the hyperion because its 3500, but don't know if there is any case that will fit, I think will be harder to get something that fits with that shape..
on the "unbranded batt"I guess will be much easier to get a case.. What do you guys think ??

I'll be getting the SGP Neo Hybrid Ex case which will most likely fit.
It can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/SGP-Samsung-G...=A2SFKRF5TPZMT5&ie=UTF8&qid=1324475378&sr=1-6
Ok I bite the bullet, mine will arrive tomorrow, (I love amazon prime). And this weekend I will goto Vegas.. So, that would work to calibrate the battery ..
BTW: I found another case that might fit. Search on ebay for Taurus Galaxy Case... A bit expensive i think, but it looks nice
Sweet have been waiting for the extended battery thanks op
I received the battery..my initial impressions:
I thought it would feel cheaper than what it actually is, to my surprise the batt feels nice, the backcover sits like the original, but the cover it really feels cheap.
Also the added weight to the phone is really noticeable, but at the same time is welcome.
Something I notice is that sticker of the battery place the + a - on the wrong leads, and this battery runs a bit hotter than the stock one.
Right now is charging and lets see how good it's !!

It does the trick, but the raised screen bezel isn't fully protected, the damn thing weighs as much as the phone, and its almost impossible to push the power button on top.

Otterbox Commuter case

Just got mine yesterday. It feels slippery and big, lol. The volume rocker seems to respond well, the power button doesn't seem as easy to press. And the rear noti LED is covered, which is not a deal breaker for me however.
I need to give it some time I guess. Using the phone without a case this past week has made me fall in love with the feel of this phone. But i am also scared of dropping it so I will give it a few days.

AFAIK, the commuter series is meant to feel slippery so it can more easily slide in and out of your pocket. As for feeling big, that's probably just because it's a big phone.

If you use a razor you can cut along the long side of the power button making a small slit in the silicon. It releases a lot of the tension in the power button. Makes it very usable

I think the Commuter case has been notorious for hard/misaligned buttons. I suggest doing finger exercises. This has dual function. Helps strengthen your trigger finger. That's the one I use for the power.
If anyone has suggestions, I'd be willing to try them out honestly.

I thought I read that someone did some sort of cut or incision to relieve the tension. But I can't reference it; forgot where it is.

My mods

I am pretty pleased with myself, and although none of the ideas are really that original (others have done similar things... SD card thing was done on a Note I, but not quite so elegantly in my opinion), I like how they all came together. I'm sorry for the poor quality pics... family is asleep and I cannot access a decent camera so these came from my PS Vita which is more accessible
Using a Otterbox case I've got a phone with a fairly long battery life and a full size SD slot which is currently supporting a 128gb Kingston SDXC card. It did require some cutting with a dremel, but when the case is on there is very difficult to detect the mods visually. Now there is a slight bump where the battery lies, but it doesn't overly deform the case and the SD card is undetectable. Of course it is heavier, but it is worth the weight to me as my cell coverage at work is nonexistent and the extra battery actually allows me to make it through a 12 hour shift with battery life at the end of the day. Now doing this required my cutting through the portion of the case where the NFC antenna is located, thus no NFC commo right now. For me this is no huge loss as it's something I never use though. Your mileage may vary with this though

Otterbox seems to be using a different polymer for the rubber covering now... It's more... firm (best word I can think of)... Additionally, I cut the original backing tight enough that it is very difficult to remove the battery with that in place. In any case the battery isn't going anywhere.

Well, I know what my next project will be! I am going to do the battery mod with an Otterbox I just traded for. So, its not like I have to pay the $50 for the case. And I already have the dremel... so the only thing i need to buy is the battery. I see that these Mugen batteries are pushing 100 dollars on the bay... would any 6500 mah battery be good enough for very long battery life?

Anker battery is just as good and it's way cheaper than mugen. It has solid reviews on it and I'm actually using and I am very satisfied with it. I actually did the Otterbox mod myself (sans sd mod) and I love it!
Oh, btw, the Anker battery only costs $16 (when I purchased it about 6 weeks ago)!

tech21 "orange strip edge" case

I bought it along with my Note 3 (N900T) because this is the only case I found at T-Mobile store, but I found it fits pretty well and the buttons aren't that hard to be pressed.
Did anybody else buy this case and how do you like/dislike it?

With Note 2 screen protector installed
No cases at my store, I'll check other stores tomorrow but thats the style I like except I want a kickstand on it, I'll take whatever they have for protection and exchange it when more come in I guess. I loved the Body Glove Fusion with Durastand i had on my G2
I have the same case on mine. i also had it on the note 2 but it had a glossy shine to it.i dropped my phone several times and nothing happened to my phone. i really like these cases but i wish they were clear like the one on my wifes s4 not this grey color.tech 21 i found to be really durable.

Looks nice, will you consider has cover case? Can has better protection for the LCD.
I bought same one. It OK. Not a big fan of it. Need more protection.

I bought this one as well. I actually like it a lot. It's a bit expensive at this point but i have 30 days to decide if i want it or not. It does offer good protection though.

i purchased one with the note 3. it's actually really nice.
I almost bought it but I decided against it. I talked to some ATT store people today and they will have different cases tomorrow so I'll wait to see what they have before I make a decision.

My brother has this Tech21 case on his Note2, and the buttons are a ***** to press. A little overpriced too, for what it is (simply TPU), imo.
Does it make the phone a lot wider in comparison to a naked device. With the Tech21 on my S4, the phone gains about a cm in width and height.

I have one in blue. I like the body glove case I saw but I am not convinced that the screen will survive a corner drop in it. I'm hoping Ballistic, Otterbox, or someone that focuses on corner protection releases something soon.

Returning mine later today Just ordered a spigen case.
It's not a bad temporary case but not worth the 35 dollar price tag

Check your local T-Mobile store.

Yes it does! LOL
That's exactly why I'm returning mine. The case itself and protection is fine. It makes it too tall and wide. I like the thin-ness just as with the S4 but it's that girth that's really annoying.
I also didn't like how the bottom cutouts felt while holding

I just went to best buy to see if they had any cases to which they did not but a sales associate told me that he saw someone that had the Platinum case holster combo that they had gotten from the best buy mobile store in the mall so that's where I went. Upon arriving I asked their associate if they had any cases for the note 3 and he said no that they probably wouldn't have any in for a week or two. I told him that the associate at the big store said that I should come there because he knew someone that had gotten one from there. So he says no but I'll check. About a minute later he come from the back with a case and tells me it's the only one he had so I was in luck. So I took my other case back and am rocking this until the Ballistic hardcore is released or I may just keep this. I like a lot of protection but I hate how it bulks up the phone. I also hate putting things in my pockets so I'm a holster guy.
