As Jake mentioned the s3s batt life is meh, and if I use my phone as a phone throughout the day I'm at like 20% by 5pm. So an extended battery or battery case was in order. I ordered the Incipio offgrid case. Went through 3 of them due to them effecting call quality when the case was on and charging. So I got a refund.
Got this in today. Anker 4400mah extended batt. $22 <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009GVG8FA/ref=pe_385040_30332190_pe_175190_21431760_M3T1_ST1_dp_1">http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009GVG8FA/ref ... 1_ST1_dp_1</a><!-- m -->
Stock s3 batt is 2100mah.
I will see how well it does but the nerd forums rave about this and the gorilla gadgets 4500mah battery. People are getting up to 2 days on a charge with normal use.
Also got this since I like a sturdy case to go with my new batt.

The battery and case only added about 1/8 in over my ballistic case. So its a pretty good deal. The added weight is nice too.

Naked thickness is increased by about a 1/4 in, almost doubling the phones thickness. Making the phone about 1/2 in thick. Kinda beefy, but I don't rock skinny jeans so no big deal. Ill take it for double the usage time.
