Hyperion honeycomb case and the Qcell case fit Hyperion, Anker, QCell extended battery covers but do not Fit Seidio Battery Covers.
QCell
Better protection than the Hyperion but only 2 color options. But, full coverage screen protectors will get lift with this case. It'll provide better protection from drops than the Hyperion.

Hyperion Honey Comb
Has the most color options but the volume and power buttons are very hard to push. I wouldn't recommend it for protection either, since its very very very thin.

Mods for Extended Batteries
This is for people who aren't afraid of cutting up their $30+ cases to fit extended batteries.

Wow. This is awesome!
I signed up to this site just to say THANK YOU! This was precisely what I needed.
 
Thanks for the thread! I'm inclined to want to buy this:
Amazon.com: Anker® 2200mAh Li-ion Battery For Galaxy SIII GT-I9300, Samsung Galaxy S3 T999(T-mobile )/ I747(AT&T )/ I535(Verizon)/R530( U.S. Cellular )/L710(Sprint), EB-L1G6LLU, Without NFC/Google Wallet - White: Cell Phones & Accessories

$10, better life and fits the stock back - what's not to like? If I get it, would like me to perform the test on it? I'm concerned about matching exactly your setup but willing to try.

I don't update this forum. I'm usually on the XDA. Check out my original thread I already tested the Anker.
 
Hello there, thanks for the info!
I bought the Anker 4400maH extended battery, is there any new cases that work with it?
 
Any thoughts on the Mophie juice pack compared to most extended batteries??? Would the Mophie juice pack case work with an extended battery and back cover... Trying to see if I can really get a ton of life to the phone
 
What is NFC?

Near Field Communication.

It's what enables things like Android Beam, S Beam, and mobile payments to work. It allows the transfer of various types of information and data from device to device. With the S3, the NFC chip is housed inside the battery. So if you want to keep all of the features it allows, you have to make sure any third party or extended battery has the necessary hardware built in.
 
Has anyone tried the Gorilla Gadgets 4500 mah battery. I read one review that said it outlasted the Hyperion.
