I really hope so. I am surprised battery cases aren't that popular.

So far I cannot see why a battery case would even be needed with this phone...

I've been getting really good battery life unlike with my old photon 4g I would be under 15% by now, but I would still like to get a battery case for the really long days

I wouldn't like a power skin had them before and there not all the good and the materiel just sucks, I wish they would be a case like the iPhone 4/4s(incipio or mophie juice pack) , is a little more expensive but actually protects the phone too

Definitely something wrong with your battery or phone setting that is sucking all juices.

I am going to get a battery case for the phone but I am currently getting almost 2 days on moderate use. 3hr screen time, 2 hours in calls, but very little navigation...

Has anyone had any luck finding one? Now that I've had the phone for a while and I'm getting 14 hours of heavy use but leaves me in the red by the time I'm off work
edit: Just found some on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/2200mAh-Power-Bank-External-Backup-Battery-Case-Cover-For-Galaxy-S3-i9300-/271013494903?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f19a9c077&_uhb=1#ht_3270wt_1163

why would you get a case? just get an extended battery with a new door.
it would be much slimmer and provide better power

Agree, I had a powerskin for my Skyrocket and it was garbage... took it back after a few days. Turned out the Nexus extended battery worked for the Skyrocket which has useful. Unfortunatly it doesn't work for the S3.

Yeah but with a case I can use up the power supply and leave it charging without the phone that way I'm not stuck sitting by the charger all day

Yes,Galaxy S3 would be a perfect gadgets with a high capacity back-up battery,esp if this battery also provide protection,keep looking for several day and come across a GS3 battery with power capacity 3000mah,mentioned could last one more time longer than normal GS3,if anyone tried this sorts of battery already.. ?

Hrmm...that looks interesting. Has anyone here tried it yet?

Also, how exactly do those work as far as charging? Do you just leave the phone in it, hook up the charger, and it charges both the phone's battery and the external battery at the same time?
