Sweet Armor GNote2 Bumper & Mugen 6400 Battery

Hello everyone,
I wanted to buy the bumper "Sweet armor gNote2" to mount with the extended Battery Mugen "HLI-N7100XL", but thesweetarmor.com they told me that is not compatible.
What to do? There are bumper compatible?
Thank you, sorry for my English.

Here are some pics of the Anker Extended Battery with my Sweet Armor dual color case. I just got the battery today so I don't have any info about how long it lasts. I'll be skinning the back cover with black 3M Carbon Fiber tonight. I'll update with new pics when I get that done.

I've never heard of carbon fiber skin. Where can I order that? Can it be applied to an extended battery cover that has a hump (hyperion extended battery)?

AFAIK, it's vinyl film not actual carbon fiber.

I found this site which appears to sell ehat the previous poster to you probably used.

Ha was going to skin the back battery cover as well but I dont like the look of the silver/grey i got so im going to go with white carbon. I love the look of the sweet armor but I just cant spend that kind of money on a case that blocks my signal to some degree. If I messed up moding it I would be pissed at myself lol

I don't have any signal degradation with the Sweet Armor.

It doesn't affect my signal at all.
It's not heavy but then again I lift weights 4 times a week. :D
I bought it from their website. I'm not sure why my color combination isn't available anymore.

Great Vinyl job! Did you use a hair dryer or dry apply to get the vinyl into the nooks and crannys of the camera area? I had the same idea but didn't know about the Anker battery until a few days ago. :D

You may not notice it but it does affect your signal to some degree and if you are in an area with weaker signal more often than you arnt then this isnt the case for you. I spend every third day in a building that allows little signal through and when I have a metal band case on forget about finding signal. The only signal that isnt affected is wifi because the antenna is not located on the outer edge of the phone. I press this issue because I dont want people thinking they wont have an issue and waste their time and money. I love metal bumper cases and have used the on all of my phones but the signal degration sucks. Hopefully modding my current bumper will help alleviate some attenuation.

For the record I checked my signal using the app "Network Signal info" found here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.android.telnet and my signal was not affected by the Sweet Armor bumper. It was in the range between -83 dBm and -85 dBm with it on and with it off.

I believe people have signal issues with other metal bumpers and with the case mentioned in the post above mine because the metal blocks the antennas with those. The SA does not.
