How thick does the extended battery and rugged case make the phone?

Close to 1 inch which is really a shame. A great battery and long lasting potential with a horrific case.

Thick, but not as bad as made out to be. Maybe a little thicker than an otterbox would be

It's a little over 2 times thicker. It's heavy and bulky but you get use to it and with how great the battery is who cares people make fun of people with samsung galaxy note phones size all the time so making it thicker really won't make a big difference.

With the Samsung S3, the Zero Shock case is the same thickness as an Otter Box Defender. The Note 3 case is just a little thicker. I bought it for my son, 22. He has declared it "awesome."

I copy/pasted the answer from the first question here, as I missed it when searching, too. "It's about double the size of the phone itself. It's heavy, and it's well worth it! The dimensions are 157mm x 88mm x 20mm/6.18" x 3.46" x 0.79"." FWIW, I have it and *love* it. The only downside is trying to find a car mount that can accommodate the thickness.

It will no longer slip into a men's shirt pocket. I find it uncomfortable in a jeans pocket, but of course fine in khaki's. I use the holster, which I prefer anyway. My office mates mock my huge phone. I love it.

I don't know the exact dimensions but it's very slim but very rugged at the same time. the corners are reinforced and fits like a glove. The phone sits recessed about 1/8" or less so the chances of being scratched in a fall is minimal. It seriously doesn't add very much at all to the thickness when installed. I hope this helps some.

The case is fairly tight fitting, if the extended battery makes the phone thicker it will very likely not fit in the case.

It's about 1 inch thick with the case. I like the Spigen case that I have it's durable, I have dropped my phone a couple of times with no problems or cracks, the bumper is stylish and it protects against the accidents.

Yes, it is. Your phone will be more than twice as thick as it originally was. However, the battery was good for several days of moderate use.

Yes it will make the phone even thicker. But any protective case is going to do that.

The battery is about 2x thicker than the original battery. That is why they send the new back cover with the purchase of this battery. The original back cover will no longer cover the thickness of the battery. HOWEVER, if you like the phone at all, you will LOVE the additional time the battery gives you. There have been times when I've not used my phone heavily, and been able to go two full days & nights with out recharging. There were times with the original battery that I had trouble making it to the end of the first day... They should have provided a battery of this strenght from the start! I love mine!

The case is flush with a standard battery. I don't think that the extended battery would fit.

The extended battery is thicker so the normal cover will no fit. The best part is the rubber protector which helps with drops , gripping and stops cracks .

I don't know if the extended battery will fit but the case is not waterproof.

No defiantly not a thick case will stop it from working never mind a extended Batt

I have my phone with the extended battery, so it comes with the replacement cover making it thicker right there, and a TPU case (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008S3MB7G/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00) and it fits. Initially, of course tightly, but after some time it just goes in fine.

I bought the extended battery for this phone on Amazon. Its the same thickness and lasts 3 days. I also keep my data and wifi off until i need it

Hi Elizabeth, it makes your phone thicker because it's actually as thick as 2 batteries put together. Yes it will fit perfectly. I have had it for a couple months now and am very happy. Example of how long it last, I have been up since 8am and have been streaming music all day. Plus at same time on FBI, and reading from Kindle. It is now 3pm as I am typing and I still have 62% battery life.

It's substantially larger (about twice as thick) and heavier (at least twice as heavy) than the original battery. Any case made for use with the standard battery won't fit (but there are cases made for the larger batteries). In my opinion, these trade-offs are worth the extended battery time.

I don't have an extended battery attachment, but I would say there is 1/4" clearance from bottom of phone to end of the soft, flexible case when the phone is in it

A lot thicker.. would have preferred if it was the same as the original battery.. but I can't complain about how long the battery last... I love it
