Is there a high capacity Extended Battery w/ Flip-type Cover?

I was wondering if anyone knows if there is an extended battery (one that makes phone larger) that either has a back/battery cover that sports a flip-style cover for the screen or one that has a case that would fit that has a flip cover. NFC would be great to have too.

So far, all I have seen are extended batteries that have a simple case with no additional protection for screen.

Thanks!!
 
I can't remember if I had a case similar to yours JKett with my Note 1 or Note 2. While I liked the form factor, I just felt that the charging/connecting process was confusing and honestly a bit cumbersome so I had to return it. :-(

Thanks for your suggestion though--I almost forgot about that particular case. Let me know how it works for you--maybe I just didn't know what I was doing lol.

I've been looking for exactly what you described and haven't found anything. I'm hoping someone will be able to help. This is a little different, but I ordered it anyway. The next day I received an email saying that they are out of stock.

twospirits and I had posted one with and without the flipcover in the best case thread a few months ago. I suggest taking a browse through that thread to find the right one for you. There are many more that sell through different online retailers, so it's best to find the one that suits your needs the best.

The ones I stayed away from were the ones that didn't take into consideration blocking the S-Pen. I bought one without the flipcover and it serves my needs, whenever I know I'm going to be out and about and likely need additional battery power from heavy usage throughout the day.
 
Gotta add my usual 2 cents :) As drex pointed out, make sure you look for the one which doesn't block s-pen. With or without a flip covers, they are typically on ebay for $20-$24. Any other website selling it for more just charges premium for the same CH-made case. Actual capacity of the battery will be at least 30% less due to loss through usb connector and conversion from 5V to battery's 3.7V. Also, they typically have 500mA input and 500mA output - it will be very slow to charge this battery, and it will take awhile to charge the phone as well (imagine charging with 2A stock charger versus charging through 500mA laptop port).
