Does this case fit over the extended hard battery cover on the back of the phone or is this supposed to replace that?

It can be either, however I just used it as a replacement. I upgraded to a new phone though, so I no longer use it.

yes my cover has an expanded offset rear wall that fits over the extended battery and the top end nicely covers the on/off switch in a recessed rectangular access port that prevent accidental turn on / turn off. I have dropped phone several times from a 4x4 pickup onto pavement and the case has a slight lip that prevents the screen from hitting flat on the ground. I am very happy with this case.

Not 100% sure but I did buy the extended factory battery for mine which is slightly thicker and had a new phone back. Still fit this case though after and I can't say enough about tis case as I dropped it from 5 + feet on concrete and it bounced!!! The phone was perfect but one of the case buttons popped out but I just pushed it back in and it is as good as new!!!

It should - the sides have elastic and stretch out with my device, which also has an extended battery.Worst case (no pun intended) it can be returned if it doesn't fit, but it should.

It is merely a case to protect the phone after to add the extended battery. Regular cases will not fit after adding the extended battery.

I have it on the back of mine. I just removed the original back of the phone and put this one on, its fits perfectly. Is it possible they sent you the wrong cover?

If the extended battery is a modication to the size if the phone it will not. Im guessing the extended battery replaces the original back piece? Then it will not.

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.

Don't take that off. If your using the extended battery you do not use the back cover, just put the tpu over it and it will hold it in place. The cover is only if you want to use the stock battery or some other extended battery. :)

It fit mine perfectly. If you keep your phone in a protective case you will have to purchase a case made for an extended battery.

I don't personally own an extended battery, though it appears to me like it would. There is about a quarter inch gap between the back of the phone and the case itself.

Im not sure you understand that this cover goes over the edges of the phone instead of clipping into the holes that keep the original back cover attached to the phone. You have said your back cover is loose so it must be missing a clip or two from the cover. This cover extends more than a half inch off the back of your Samsung Galaxy Note 1. I would suggest you just buy an OEM back cover to replace your loose cover. This cover is for use with an extended battery and your description does not talk about an extended battery.

Yes, the extended battery means the phone is thicker. Mine fits perfectly,Jay

No, this piece covers the battery and back cover that you already installed. ☺no they are not one and the same.

The OtterBox Defender fits the back contour of the back of the phone, if the extended battery and backhousing is any thicker than the standard battery it will not fit.

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.

The regular cover will not fit with the extended battery. The battery I purchased included a new back cover. This battery does double the phones run time. However, be aware that there are no fitted cases that fit the phone with the extended battery. You may find a belt holster the phone will slide into.

It fits over the battery. The case isnt molded right. That being said there is no concerns with that. Its very tight and wraps around the flash, camera, and speaker.
