Can you just use the stock back of the S4 or do you need to use the one that comes with this one? If so why is that?

No the battery is twice as thick compared to stock battery therefore you need to use a custom back case which comes along with the battery. Basically the stock case doesn't fit.

You have to use the rubber case provider buy the company that sells the battery due to the incredible thickness of the extended battery

You use the one that comes with it because it doubles the thickness of the phone! But it triples the battery life. You will love it!

You must use the case that comes with it due to the battery size, Zerolemon also makes a nice case that fits the battery pack

i needed to use the one that came with it , because the new battery is much larger the then original battery so the stock back doesn't fit it

It is still maneagable. In fact it might be even easier for some to hold it as it adds a bit more grip compared to the glossy back of the s4. I think it only adds around 2- 2.5mm to the width

No. As far as I know no cases designed for the stock battery will work. There is a case made for use with this product.

Kate, I'm just a novice so you should really direct your question directly to the iCracked.com support team. They were very responsive and helpful to me when I had questions. My particular kit did not have a back piece, and it was for a 4S. I can't say if it would fit your 4. If you get their kit, be sure and go to their website a view their how-to video; it was very well done. I'd definitely do business with them again. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question. You do not have to remove the back cover of the S5 to use this case.

Thank you for your question. You do not have to remove the back for any of our Galaxy S5 cases.

No the original back fits and the plastic cover goes over both, making ot a little thicker. I find this battery lasts longer than the stock battery that came with the S3.

The S4 is slightly bigger and has a squarer look to it. So I don't think this will fit the S4. Sorry =\

This item does fit and fully function on the Samsung Galaxy S4. I have it on my S4 from Verizon at this very moment. Please be aware that it is a bit thicker than the stock back. It provides a tougher and slightly more grippy texture to the S4, than with the thin and slippery original back.

If you buy the LCD buy itself it will fit any S3 version. This sale is coming with the LCD mounted to the mid housing that has the frame included. They are all pretty much different. The gray lines you see on in the pictures on the housing are actually conductive and complete a circuit on the motherboard. All of these from carrier to carrier are different. Also on the cover that snaps on over the motherboard you will see different contacts on the inside of that as well. You can also look at the motherboard itself and see the contacts on the lower half. All these are different between carriers. Order you specific model that you need. If you buy the LCD buy itself it will fit any S3 version.

It works great with the s4, but i am going to buy a screen protector for the s4. Cause when i close the keybord into the s4, it rubs on the screen

That is correct, the battery will make your phone very thick. Also just to let you know, the aftermarket battery is not nearly as good as the stock samsung batery. The samsung is much smaller but somehow lasts much longer! It makes a good backup battery but you have to carry the new rear cover for when you change.

I am using the S3.....and it worked fine right from the package..... I wouldn't hesitate to buy it for the S4...but dont own it.

I am not sure what you mean by charging back. I have standard stock Samsung S4 and the case fits phone and all openings correctly. I hope this is helpful.

I purchase this case and use it with the S4. The fit is good providing you use the smaller foam insert or no insert at all.

It's really a user preference. I've decided to buy a generic screen protector that is meant for the S3. My friend has had his smartphone for a while with no case and screen protector but the phone still looks good. It's your investment and if it cost you some money to buy or upgrade your current phone it is probably wise to spend money some to protect it rather than paying $25 or more to replace the screen.

Nope, don't need a new back for the AT&T; version. And mine works well. I'd recommend it.
