Cars come with tires, why would anyone need one?
I'm so tired of the crap from 0-posters lately.
I think I am going to order one of these batteries when I get paid Friday, I don't care about the battery door being messed up I just hope I can find a decent enough case to cover it and hide the mess.
Right now I have a Case Mate Tough Case for my i777 and I highly doubt it'll cover the battery + battery cover but we'll see!

I considered the SkyRocket... It is a poor option. Faster CPU, bigger screen, LTE that can not be turned off. Review I read said LTE by itself is a big power drain and is somewhat useless with no unlimited data plans from AT&T. The 200mAh is not going to be enough to cover the added power drain. Then you have problems with ROM and case compatibility, faster CPU does nothing practical, fatter phone, etc.
AT&T had the best design for the SGSII, but they had to go and botch it up by minor tweaks that screw up full compatibility.
I am okay with flipping phones on eBay, but I would rather have the SGSII international or a 2000mAh battery that works without modding.

I don't know if everyone just passed up on your comment but I think people are neglecting the fact that you ACTUALLY went to Korea and didn't find the extended battery available. The Korean Samsung website also does not have the extended battery in their catalog and typing in the battery model number: EB-K1A2EBEGSTD doesn't get any results. I would say for myself that someone is making fake Samsung batteries but if your friend in Korea has actually found the official batteries instead of fake ones then I would think about purchasing one. Any word back from him/her yet?
Nobody there has them. Was there personally and jumped over to the mall between flights,... not sure where the info came from that one existed, but it doesn't, and if the Koreans don't make it, it's not real. My guess is it comes from China with a fake samsung logo on it, haha
Being Chinese myself and having visited China, I can they make a ton of fake merchandise over there. Although occasionally you will run into an almost authentic piece only to realize it's too good to be that cheap. Hell there was a story of a dude who couldn't afford a Lamborghini on his salary so he decided to build one completely from scratch for himself for less than 3/4 the price of a real Lamborghini. It's insane what they do out there.
Well, looking at what people are experiencing here... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1239719. Anyway, I for one can say the battery's real and worth it.
Kind of weird that it's an official battery manufactured in Korea by Samsung but yet they won't sell them at their own Samsung website or stores but let other vendors overseas sell them yet they make the phone right in their own backyard? What a weird business plan they got.
Here is a link to a list of cases that work or don't work for the SGS2. Remember this is from the i9100 forum so what works for them may or may not work for us.

I found the battery/cover on Amazon but its about $50. Is this the same battery/cover?

Are there any better deals out there?
Edit: Noticed that there is another reseller on Amazon selling it for $42 with free shipping(Found under more buying choices).

I'm curious to know as well if anyone has the answer? I would like to buy one of these if it will work on our phones. Do the covers from the i9100 match up with ours as well?
I don't know how you did it but I just received mine today and buffered out all of the side hooks and it still doesn't fit properly. It seems like the cover maybe a bit longer than the stock because the middle bends outward as if the case is longer than the phone and is cramming in to the door area.

1If you're ok with the added thickness just get the Skyrocket, then you get a slightly bigger battery, LTE (where available), bigger screen, etc. There are lots of threads here saying how it's not better. AT&T is a business, they're pushing the new phone because it is better (read: new features, etc). I think the SGSII on ATT will prove to be about the shortest product cycle of any phone ever offered. With Nexus Prime right around the corner, the GSII is going to look like yesterday's news. I know you don't LIKE that, but it's reality. You didn't really think it was going to be the "best" phone for long when ATT didn't pick it up until it was already almost 10 months old, did you?
1Shave the side buffers off including the lips...you want the sides to be flat as possible like the stock OEM battery 1650 mAh battery cover it came with. Then you have to carefully shave the bottom left and right hooks vertically half way. It'll fit on but not perfectly but good enough.1
I emailed the seller to ask if the battery was the Korean NFC version (cover needs Modding) or the international version (no cover mods necessary but potential boot loops). He was uncertain but did mention they are a European import (although the pictures say NFC).
