Help Clear protective case and spare battery question

Are there any cases out there that are kind of like screen protectors, but for the body of the phone? I don't mind using a case, but was just wondering if there were any protectors out that that would limit the bulkiness of a case adds, while still providing some piece of mind?

Also, I do a lot of heavy usage on my phone, and was looking on eBay for spare batteries. I see some that have 3 spare batteries the the wall adapter charger for like 10 bucks, and that saying "If it sound too good to be true, it probably is" pops into my head. I'm sure they probably don't last as long as a store name brand one, but would there be any negative effects on the phone using one? Also, would charging my original S3 batter on their wall adapter negatively effect the life of that battery?

Thanks!
 
ZAGG makes a heavy duty screen protector along with the same type of thing for the rear. Well, at least they did for the iphone I had so assuming they do so for other models when possible. ZAGG sets up kiosk in the mall. Theres another place in the mall called invisishield or something like that. They do high dollar screen protectors as well so assume there are rear films as well. I went with a case mate "barely there" thin case cause I'm worried about dropping the phone as I've done in the past without a case.
 
I don't have any scientific evidence to back this up but I am very cautious of putting cheap batteries not from Samsung in my phone. I am going to wait till Samsung releases their extended battery probably and buy that. Once the phone becomes more aged quality batteries will become more available as people begin to use them. Right now we are the test subjects for all the new accessories.

Concerning your question on charging, I wouldn't say that would be an issue.
 
Buying a cheap battery usually means the NFC attenna was not embedded into the battery. If you don't care about NFC functionality there are several batteries with the same capacity as the OEM unit...Momax is one that comes to mind.

See ya...

I agree, I don't see how it would have any negative effect on the phone itself, but maybe? I figured it'd just be a crappy battery that has like a 2 hour life, which I guess would be decent to have stashed somewhere in case an issue ever arises.
