Great battery (in a Samsung S4) but it's bulky so I can't use my car phone dock anymore (iOttie Easy Flex 3). Thoughts? Recommendation of a new mount?

If you're not opposed to an external mount I suggest a Macally Suction Cup Mount. The one that I use is available here on Amazon at this url: http://www.amazon.com/Macally-Suction-Cup-Mount-DM2744/dp/B007SJ52S6/ref=sr_1_7?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1418772960&sr=1-7&keywords=macally+suction+cup+mount. There are also additional mounts listed which would you give you many options to be able to dock your phone.

It is very hard to find accessories for these phones. Why do you need another battery anyway? It holds enough. Do you think changing it often will not damage the plastic? You better get a car charger or external battery bank or sty.

Samsung sells an alternate battery cover for the GS4 to enable Qi charging. Or you could get an after market receiver of you don't mind the extra bulk.

You can upgrade your mount to allow your phone to charge while in the case. Please view our Power Plus Pack here: Tigra® BikeConsole Rechargeable Power Pack for Galaxy S3, S4, S5 and S6 Mounts (2800 mAh Li-Ion Rechargeable Battery Pack)Best regards,JillianBike2Power Team

It is very big it will fit in almost no mounts or anything suchvas those. My phone barely fits in my pockets now. Love the battery though

That is correct, the battery will make your phone very thick. Also just to let you know, the aftermarket battery is not nearly as good as the stock samsung batery. The samsung is much smaller but somehow lasts much longer! It makes a good backup battery but you have to carry the new rear cover for when you change.

Best thing you could ever do is make sure you have original Samsung Galaxy s3Mini battery. The ACTUAL battery-not "compatable", not " replacement for", etc., no imitations! Four pin connector BEST. I'm having trouble with my S4 battery, because of "compatable" battery charger designed for s3. Use original parts always!

It becomes a bit more than 2x the thickness of the bare phone, and 2x as heavy. But, I only have to charge every 2 days now, as opposed to twice every day without the case. Fair trade-off I suppose. If size and weight don't concern you, then the Zerolemon is a great choice. I suppose we will have to keep making sacrifices until Samsung can design a battery to match their feature-rich, battery hog phones.

I have found that when in the phone and after snapping back on the thickness is not notable or a problem with my cases. Not same as yours. Its only in the battery charger that charges just the battery in its own slot that it is tight. Battery is no diff than original otherwise, charging, time etc

I'm really not sure as I jumped from an EVO to the S4. I will say that it was well worth the investment to get this mount. It keeps the phone very secure and the touch screen world great on the fly through the protective cover.

Like the others, I did not have good results with this item & returned it. (On the positive side, I received a refund promptly & with no push-back; I think the supplier knows the quality of this product.As a substitute, I ordered RAVPower® Dual Desktop Charger Cradle for Samsung Galaxy S4 S IV - Support Charging Spare Battery (Black Color, Spare Battery Charger, Detachable Case Plate, Compatible without or with a Slim-Fit Case) which has been a great find; I recommend it.

Yeah, I don't get it...could be issues with quality control, although I've noticed most who say it fits used a battery other than hyperion.... weirdly it seems to fit my phone more snugly now than when I purchased it..( I have a hyperion battery) or perhaps I just got used to it...it's never fallen off or anything.

Yes, I use the car mount that came with my S5. I bought my S5 at Costco and they included a free "Bonus Pack" with a car charger and universal mobile device mount. It has a suction cup base and spring loaded sides to grip any phone you wish to put in it. Unfortunately there is no brand or model # on the device but if you search for universal device or phone mount on Amazon you will find a multitude of choices. I have been using it for several weeks and it works just fine. I would like to know if anyone is aware of some sort of "belt clip" that could be used with this cover??

Hey man. Well I use my phone allot. Standard battery was at 15 % or less by the end of the day (unplugging the phone from charging cable at 5:30 am getting home from work at 9 pm) the new battery leaves me with 49% in the same time span. So I would say it gives me an extra 5 hours about. Depending on what you have running ( gps, wifi, 4G, blue tooth, auto rotation and the other sensors. ) if you use your phone allot in a day I would recommend buying one. It really does help. Charging time with Samsung 2 amp charger is about 15 min longer than standard battery. Hope this helps make your decision. Grtz Hey man. Well I use my phone allot.

I used the large phone holster that is on the table rack on Walgreens Drugstore. That battery gave me double life for a power user like me. Wound up selling the phone with the battery a few years later and buying a new Note. Great battery... no problem recommending it.

Sounds like you have GPS running (like Facebook's location services). I love my S3 but having said that you always need extra batteries. These seem to have a better life than the OEM. I had gotten in the habit of keeping an external battery around, but now I just throw one of these in my pocket and one in my backpack since they are so much smaller than an external battery.
