Nice, where did you order your case from?
Mine dies a death around 1800 when i get home, but I hate having to charge it twice a day, its stupid.
Got my case from Diztronic in the USA, its designed specifically for the samsung official 3000mAH battery.

Above link is what I ordered
I noticed that myself, not sure until I see it in the flesh. My current case is a all matte black tpu case literally the same as the Diztronic case except it wont fit the larger battery.
Ah ok I ordered mine ebay - same site I guess as Paypal states payment is to Diztronic. Same price.
I ordered my Note 3 case form the US site previously.
I also have the standard case - excellent case that as it looks smart and the cut outs are well done.
I also like the shiny front - suits my LTE Grey model.
Sooo dropped my S3 last week, watched a load of glass replacement videos and went for it! however, it didn't go so well. Tip for anyone attempting this repair, once you think the phone is hot enough for the last pull to take the center of the glass away, heat it even more, the LCD is very weak 
new digitiser on the way!
new digitiser on the way!That was pretty much a best case scenario. Just shows you should be able to get a hard days use with ease.
And yes I did use it as a smartphone, your comment makes no sense.
ROM is Pandoriam which I installed back in January. I have the i9305, and any bloat is frozen.

I've just changed from a Samsung based ROM (wanam 4.3) over to an AOKP based ROM (Omega AOKP 4.3.1) and the difference in speed and lack of bugs is astonishing!
Iv got from 10hrs battery life up to 24+hrs on a standard battery. Its awesome and so so quick.

How are things such as the camera? I'm still reluctant to try AOSP due to weird quirks like a weak camera and so on as well as the fact the barclays banking app doesn't work with root.
Right had a little search and couldn't find a specific thread for Anker Batteries, more specifically the 4400mAh extended one for the GS3, can be found on forest.
If anyone has any experience with one would they mind posting, the battery life on my GS3 with standard Samsung battery is pretty poor now and looking to extend it somewhat by the means of a larger battery.
Is the Anker 4400 any good, I've read they're good quality batteries(don't fancy cheap chinese batteries melting my face off!), does it make the phone too large? Looks like it beefs up the size by about 4-5mm , which to be fair I can live with, except maybe when I use the phone to go running, which may make it too heavy to live in my pocket!
Maybe I should consider the 3000mAh battery as above, is it smaller than the Anker?
Opinions welcome

+1 for the official battery
Use it in my S3, I run power saving mode off now, makes the phone so nice to use and I can still manage 2 days if I barely use the phone. Made it half way through a 3rd day once!

Anyone recommend a semi rugged/tough case that isn't too bulky for a stock battery sized S3?
Thanks for the advice guys, the 3000mAh official dooly looks good, will consider purchasing that, I was late today for my work appraisal because I forgot to plug my phone in and my alarm didn't go off, it's an omen and tell theee! 
I have followed these threads for quite some time being a lurker in general, but I have never really taken the plunge in regards to installing a different ROM, I know this has probably been posted a thousand times in the 606 page thread, but whats the easiest ROM in install form the point of view that I only want to increase battery life and keep everything else pretty much standard.
I do enjoy tinkering but not too bothered about changing too much of the phone, its a bit sluggish atm so any speed increases would also be good!

The "ROCK" composite case is quite good. I've had it since September 2012, it protects the phone well and has a nice textured feeling.
