Does these batteries require s special case or cover for the phone?

No they dont. I own a Galaxy Note and it fits perfectly inside. My charging port does not work anymore so I went with this approach of having 2 additional batteries. Its a little inconvenient to open the back case and put the battery in. But I really love the fact that I can carry an extra battery with me at all times given how bad the battery life of the phone is. I would definitely recommend this product. You can also charge it with a microusb cable which is something that I dint know while buying which is another plus point.

It is just a cover. You will still have to have the plastic back cover. I got a new one with the battery I purchased.

No the battery is twice as thick compared to stock battery therefore you need to use a custom back case which comes along with the battery. Basically the stock case doesn't fit.

You can get them without the case. They come with a wall charger and a micro USB cable

No. The Anker battery comes with a black plastic case. Since it is fragile (just like the original Samsung case), Hyperion and others supply a soft rubberized case/cover to fit over the black case.

This comes with both covers and extended battery. It worked well but made my phone off balance. I dropped it and cracked the screen due to the weight.

No, purchase of the battery should also include the compatible cover. The Extended Battery is quite thick when compared to the original. Another thing you should note is that the antenna for the phone seems to connect through the back cover so you want to be sure what you get makes good contact with the leads. Check out your original cover and you will see what I am talking about.

It's just a case. But if you have the Hyperion battery, they sell extra back covers 2 for like $10. They sent me a replacement free when I got mine cracked in the mail, they're really a great company.

No, but most of the extended batteries for this phone use the exact same cheap cover. I got another cheaper battery/cover for 5$ and that cover was exactly like this one and fit this battery

No, that is a battery, it comes in a heavy fabric bag for easy removal. No cover sorry

I have not seen the cover anywhere by itself. If you have the battery already and just need a cover, try a tpu case only. My son uses it this way and it will eventually, mold to the battery.

Hi, Nancy. Yes, you do have to use the new cover that the battery comes with. The new battery is thicker than the stock battery although I will say that the new cover is a really close match color-wise, and it fits really well. Hope this helps you!

You do get what is pictured, but I woudn't call it a "case". That implies an extra something that protects the phone. What you get is a backing to the phone that replaces the original backing already on your phone. This battery is bigger than the original, so the original back won't fit with the new battery installed. As mentioned, the new backing fits perfectly with the new battery.

No, the case is just that a case/cover protector .. You have to buy the Hyperion extended battery for S4 separately. The larger size battery in being charge through your phone, the case/protector is optional for 9.99, while the extended battery is 30.00 .

Doubtful, the battery comes with its own case. It doubles the thickness of the phone!

I use the battery for my galaxy s2. I do not have to change the back cover. It is the same size.
