Hyperion honeycomb case and the Qcell case fit Hyperion, Anker, QCell extended battery covers but do not Fit Seidio Battery Covers.
QCell
Better protection than the Hyperion but only 2 color options. But, full coverage screen protectors will get lift with this case. It'll provide better protection from drops than the Hyperion.

Hyperion Honey Comb
Has the most color options but the volume and power buttons are very hard to push. I wouldn't recommend it for protection either, since its very very very thin.

Customer Service rating/ Universal Charger reviews

Universal Chargers

1.White Hyperion Charger only charges batteries to 88%. It will only charge to 60%-69% when the gold connectors are not perfectly lined up.(Very hard to line up the connectors perfectly)
2(?).Not really a universal charger. Black QCell charger(Says on the charger its for S3's) charges batteries to 100%.(Tested with 4200mAH Hyperion, 4400mAH Anker, OEM 2100mAH, QCell 2100mAH) I wasn't able to test the charge times. Will test when I have the time.

Yes, thank you for doing this review! I'm stuck at a cross road between these two batteries. So this review outcome will help weigh in on my final decision.

Patiently waiting for more review info to come..

This will help many to decide, if only someone would be able to do mugen too. The Anker does not seem to be as insane as some others who have a hyperion but I may be wrong :S.

why no one get the mugen?

and hyperion is 3.7v and mugen is 3.8v, is there difference?

does anybody know an app that would make the screen stay on forever instead of timing out??(10 min screen time out is too short i dont want to keep touching my screen) I'm finally done draining my hyperion battery and working on draining my Qcell right now. I want to have an equal test and ill leave the screen on all night to test the screen time with brightness on full settings

try Wake Lock from the market.

I got my Hyperion yesterday and I have to tell you I'm very impressed. I had a qcell and idk if I got a faulty battery or one of the cells was a dud but it lasted just as log as the OEM battery. And I've heard a couple people say that. So it looks like with qcell its hit or miss.

I would go with gps test. It has a setting for never leaving the screen cut off so that you can test the GPS capabilities.

I owned a Hyperion extended with the Evo 3D . I had it for a year and the battery would last all day no matter what I did two days if I stayed off Netflix and YouTube . The Evo 3D one was a tight fit as well but like the op stated I like them tight.I ordered one off amazon for my sgs3 but its still in route. Hope my review of an old one I had helps some one on the fence.

Why not keep looping a video or download a battery drain app?
