    As I'm heading off in the near future on holidays I'll be needing a second battery for my GS3, being the power hungry device that it can be. I know that there are those large power packs that can plug into the device and charge, but I'll be using my phone throughout the most likely and I don't want something swinging around me in highly populated areas.

    I had a look at what Samsung have on their American site, and I quite like the look of their dock with a battery charging station at the back. It looks good, and it's handy for watching movies/TV on the train and plane, but the price isn't great....

    Is there any other options? Or better priced and similar products?

    EDIT: I don't require NFC batteries, I don't use it that often

    I got one of those on amazon for around £8 a few months ago.It was a steal as it was genuine samsung and included the replacement battery,they have non samsung ones for good prices too. Mine is grand,does the trick but it's nothing special. The stand isn't particularly sturdy,you wouldn't sit on a train with it on the table thing in front of you and watch something for example.Also it will only charge the spare battery. It won't charge your phone when your phone is sitting on it, just in case you didn't realise that.
    This one is 12.99 on amazon atm http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-GT-i9300-Battery-Charging-Replacement/dp/B009GDGO1G/ref=pd_sim_ce_4
    You should find cheaper though.

    Don't rule out the battery pack thing. I got one (this one) as a Christmas present and it's fantastic. It is a good bit smaller than the phone itself so not too bulky, it charges up over night itself and provides the phone with 4 or 5 full charges then. It charges the phone quickly too, within maybe 2 or 3 hours.
