Help Question about extended battery

D

Newbie
So I bought a 5000mAh extended battery that came with a back plate that had a kickstand. I got it here:
Extended Battery for Samsung Galaxy Note, GT-N7000, GT-I9220, SGH-i717, Galaxy Note LTE, GT-I9200 (With Black Color Back Cover)
The title for the item is this:
Extended Battery for Samsung Galaxy Note, GT-N7000, GT-I9220, SGH-i717, Galaxy Note LTE, GT-I9200 (With Black Color Back Cover)
I have the i717 so this item should work right?? NO the answer is no they are a scumbag company that I have been battling back and forth with emails. Good thing that I paid paypal so I have filed a complaint to get my money back hopefully I will.

So this is the problem the battery works fine and is actually really worth it. The problem is that the back cover will not go on it is obviously for international version. They say it works but it doesnt trust me I am not an idiot. So i just wanted to let everyone know that they should not buy this item.

So now for the support question. does anyone know where I could just buy a battery cover that would be extended or maybe some way that would hold this thing on. Any help would be great. Thanks
 
Sorry to hear about your misfortune... :(

Thanks for the tip!

Unless you can find them on Amazon or eBay, not sure where else you can look without spending a LOT of time just searching.

Hope someone else here can help easier.

Thanks it really is i guess my fault for buying from a company that noone ever heard of.

When it is in stock i am going to buy:

[HLI-i717XL] Buy Mugen Power 5400mAh Extended Battery for AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note SGH-i717 with Battery Door

I have heard of them and they have 2 different versions that say if you have [the other one] click here so hopefully that will work and also it is a 5400mAh battery so the cover should fit over this battery so i will have 2 extended batteries

I think I am going to put some double sided tape on the battery so that it holds the cover to the battery that way worst case scenario i only muck up the battery and cover not the phone
 
Hi guys! I am new at this... Do you know the freaking difference physically between the i717 and the i9220/n7000(international version)? Thanks
 
I don't know in detail what the differences are but apparently they are relevant enough to where batteries designed for one won't work for the other. So be sure to always verify that whatever you're purchasing is specific to your version.

I can't roll off the differences between the two, but if you googled that exact question you'll find reviews of both and pictures of both. I know the n7000 has a hard button at the bottom instead of the 4 soft touch buttons.
