Does this case protect pretty well against falls? I KNOW I need an extended battery but I also need a great case as I run with my phone.

This one doesn't work well at all. I had to send mine back. It didn't charge the battery the way it should at all.

I didn't keep mine long enough to find out. Both units I got failed after about a week (or less), so I asked for a refund. The failure was in the socket where you plug in the unit for charging. Pieces of it came out (both units) such that you couldn't plug it in and charge it anymore.

It also depends on your level of sweat. As a heavy perspirer when I work out, I utilized this more for work around the yard rather than a workout, even with a shirt on during a workout. I did get a life proof case and found it fit well around that case, and the case is waterproof, so that could be another route to protect the phone yet be moving.

I don't use a case with my S4 Active, but if I did I doubt it would fit or at least not without a lot of stretching and working it into the case every time you use it. Me personally, I wouldn't want to spend that much effort before and especially after a run when I'm all sweaty.

extended battery works very well, it almost doubles battery time ...the only problem is lack of availability of a rubber or plastic cover for this kind of accessory...one you drop it, the case cracks

It's a very good quality case with good protection; however, it has a bottom layer that is more of a "jelly" texture then a top piece that fits over the bottom piece. An extended battery would prevent that from fitting.

I haven't had the case very long, and I haven't dropped my phone since I got it. I do feel pretty comfortable that the case will protect it from a "normal" drop though. By normal I mean out of my hand onto the floor or ground. Probably not anything higher than that though.

This comes with both covers and extended battery. It worked well but made my phone off balance. I dropped it and cracked the screen due to the weight.

No, I just got mine and was thinking about ordering an extended battery and have been looking for cases for it. This one is a very tight fit. Looks pretty amazing on the phone though. I wonder if they make an extended battery case for the S3.

Yes....dropped it twice thus far. Weren't really bad falls (in terms of the number of feet the phone fell). However, I can tell you one was on the treadmill and another on concrete. NOT A SCRATCH TO THE PHONE OR CASE. And I have to say again, the case itself is just absolutely beautiful!.

Personally I feel like this case protects my phone very well from normal falls. I have dropped it and it has been fine.

I ve tried mophie and Bélkin .. Esteticlly( visual and feel to touch) mophie wins! But like this one better overall.. Cause it May not look awsome! But Bélkin really keeps the battery capacity soo much longer (wich it is the main reason of this kind of case), vs really hard falls ...sometimes naturally and even to disperse energy from impact the top layer does pop off But i mean with real Great falls (1.5 mts or so to concrete)

Hi .. Actually this case wasnt sufficient for me .... so i had to buy another one from a local dealer ... because this one carryies only one extra battery .. so if u have more than one battery i dont advise u to go for it ...

I have not successfully located high quality protective cases for smart phones with extended batteries. It would be wise for manufacturers to be sensitive to this growing need in the marketplace. If you find one, I am interested in checking it out.

Good question! I drop my phone frequently and so fat, so good: total protection!

The case is an add-on. The original back of the phone stays in place. It has been a great case for my use because I frequently change out the battery and it is not a hindrance to access the back battery access panel. Also, it adds a small lip to the front of the phone to help protect the glass in case it falls on the front side. Naturally it is not the best protection you can purchase, but is sufficient to assist. Also, in use it can still fit in a leather case hanging off the belt.

It functions quite well so far. I don't drop my phone as much and I don't have the case in 24/7. There has been times where I dropped my phone with the case on and nothing has been damaged. My dad on the other hand drops his phone at least once a day, whether it's a hard fall or soft fall, and his phone is perfectly fine with the case on. Overall I think it functions pretty well. The case does add a bit of weight but you will eventually get use to it after a while. I have small hands/wrists and it felt heavy at first but I eventually adjusted and as I used the case on my phone more it does not feel as heavy. It only adds some weight, nothing to major in my opinion. Hope this helps a bit!
