Mine was new OEM in Samsung packaging with the new expanded Samsung back to accommodate the larger battery - I am very satisfied with it. Make sure you minimize the screen when you are done with any use - that seems to be the biggest power drain. This one gets me through the day most of the time without a charge, even when playing MP3s podcasts,

I just got mine first it had a black cover not a white one and second there is not way my original Galaxy Note 3 cover fits back on its not even close so do not listen to anyone who got this battery and says the original cover still fits. I am trying to contact the seller to get a white cover so far only hear crickets chirping

The extended cover is needed for the extra thickness from the battery. There isn't a case that works with it (that I've found) but it lasts better than the OEM battery. It seems to work better when charged with an external charger (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d.html?ie=UTF8&a;=B006G8YR36).

No the original back fits and the plastic cover goes over both, making ot a little thicker. I find this battery lasts longer than the stock battery that came with the S3.

You will need a new back cover for your phone. Then use this as a protective case. If you buy the battery online, usually the new back cover is a suggested item to be purchased.

Hello,Thank you for contacting us! This item does not need a different cover. The mah measurement will be increased a few hundred in comparison to the OEM battery, however the size will be the same. Thank you for your interest!

No. The battery is thicker than the normal battery. So you will not be able to fit the original back cover.

It replaces the existing batter and back cover. Over 3 times the original battery

You'll need to buy a hyperion case that they have. I wish they had a more protective one. The new battery comes with a new phone back that sticks out about .25 inches farther than the stock.

I would suppose that the original battery would still work with the new back cover. Never tried it but it looks like it would be okay. You would just need to something on the inside, like felt, just so the original battery doesn't flop around.Charlie

No you don't have to remove the back cover. The NFC chip still works with the cover on.

This battery is the same size as the original. Therefore you will not need to buy a new back cover.

I have not encountered this problem with the battery I received. It fit in perfectly as it should, and produced no bulge or unnecessary stress when applying the back cover on to the phone. It's possible you may have received a faulty battery, as that is the exact thing that happened to my old droid 2 when I pulled the battery from within. For whatever reason, possibly due to it extreme use or sensitivity, something happened within the battery and caused it to grow in thickness. Placing the back cover onto that specific phone caused a bulge and questionable stress.

In order to use a wireless charger you MUST have a wireless battery connection. You take the back cover off and replace it with Samsung Galaxy S5 Case Wireless Charging Battery Cover - Black I have one and works wonderfully well. I have a Samsung charger at home, and an off brand charger at work. The case is necessary unless you get an off brand one to put inside existing case.

Hello Mark, I did get the battery and it worked well with extending the talk and idle time without re-charging. I did however have trouble with placing the cover on my phone. I could not seem to get it to totally close. I tried to get used to it but I have taken the battery out of my phone and put in the original battery and cover back on. Check and see if they have made an improvement to the cover for a better fit.
