do I need a diferent back cover than the original for this battery?

Yes , you would need a extended battery cover that you can purchase with the battery.

No but you need a zero lemon case. The back cover will not fit once you put the battery in. If you buy a case & battery combo, then you will have all you need. The one you are looking at is a battery and charger only. You don't need a new charger for these batteries as your old one works just fine.

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. It fits the same as the old battery. However, I'm noticing that it only stays charged for about 2 hours.

The new fitted back is almost the same thickness as the original. So you should have no problem. Works well also

The battery will fit with the original back to the phone. It is not fatter, it's the same size as the original battery.

No. The large battery cover has a bulge to accommodate the battery. The original is a thinner battery. You might be able to use a thin piece of anything (foam) as a spacer if you use the original as a back-up.

No. The replacement batteries from Wasabi are the exact same size as the original equipment and a replacement cover is not needed.

This batteey is the same size as the original battery. So no, it does not need a special case for it. This battery is also way better than the original one.

No. It is not. That's why they send you a new back cover. My phone was the purple model, but now it's black and purple. This battery was just awful, but it was cheap so I wasn't out much. I went to Batteries Plus and got another battery, but their back was terrible and didn't work well, so I'm using the back from this which works great. You will not be able to use the original back. It makes the phone larger, but I actually like it better.

I have a Galaxy S II and it did not require a new back cover. Fits perfectly, gives some extra juice, and my original battery is now a spare that I always keep charged as a backup.

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.

Yes you can. The battery is a little larger so you can't use the original back cover. The battery comes with two back cover.

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

You have to use the new back cover. The battery is thicker and doesnt fit with the original/stock back cover.

I purchased 4 of these batteries, and received 4 back covers (one for each battery)

No, it fits over the stock back that came with the phone. Try the Yessoo extended life battery that comes with a new back and vinyl cover to accommodate the thicker battery.

It would work, but you would need to use a little paper to fill the gap between the back of the battery and the raised portion of the new cover. I kept the old battery and original back as a spare, but the paper trick will work fine.
