See the link below about 64Gb cards in the S3.

After having a Sandisk 32Gb card die on me I wouldn't contemplate using them again.
64Gb cards are expensive at the moment. In the UK, I could buy one for about £38, ($57 USD Anthony), but I can buy 32Gb ones for £10 ($15 USD) - all Samsung branded.

Phew ! I'm not surprised you're only getting 2 days out of your battery with that lot running !
I've looked up those 3000mAh Samsung batteries before but the high cost means that they aren't really cost effective. I purchased 2 X Anker 2200mAh batteries and a desktop charger for ¼ of the price. If a battery dies on me it is a case of cover off, battery out, battery in, cover on, and I have a 100% charged battery in my phone in less that 30 seconds.
64Gb memory cards. They do work in the S3, but it seems that they cause problems for some people (again it seems to be Sandisk cards). Also, the cost of them at the moment means that aren't cost efficient.

I called Samsung customer care and the guy said 64gb but have no idea why the instruction manual told to use only 32gb. He will get back to me to confirm. Here what I copy exactly from manual>>>Your device accepts microSD™ or microSDHC™ memory
cards with maximum capacities of 32 GB (depending on the
memory card manufacturer and type).

@Freefaller™&Anthony™

I am confused about memory card that S3 capability>>>on the web like gsmarena.com spec said 64gb but on the S3 manual written down as only 32gb. So, which one is corrected?

I thought the same too Freefaller™ coz it doesn't felt like home with this monster. Somehow it doesn't last that long as I was expected. I'm using Tune-In a lot at work and play games at home and some calls and txt plus with all my Apps set to automatic update through network data. Zerolemon hardly last for 2 days. Freefaller™ you can buy 3000mAh samsung extended battery. I think that what you after with just slightly thicker than 2100mAh.

@ Dee™, Anthony, and everyone else.....

I have removed my ZeroLemon 7000mAh battery for now and replaced it with one of my Anker 2200mAh ones.
The phone feels so flimsy now it almost feels like I could bend it. I much prefer the solid feel that the other battery gave, but I also prefer the light weight that the original battery gives.
Which brings me to my question. Is the S3 too thin? Would you prefer it to be a bit thicker and have a more 'solid' feel (if it was thicker it could have a higher amperage battery), or is it about right?

I already have 2 X 2200mAh Anker batteries and desktop charger. I purchased them when Amazon had the on offer at £7.99 (£17.99 now):

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-...h+s3+battery

To other S3 owners... The Anker batteries are far superior to the official Samsung ones. I don't know why they are more efficient; I can only guess that they are constructed differently, but they last about 20 - 25% longer than the standard battery.

We don't really need one....(my partner has her laptop).....but anyway will let you know if so. Would you give a 30 day guarantee incase its faulty?

actually if you are interested i have an unused still wrapped Anker battery....which we could do a straight swap for. And i would offer a 30 day guarantee. For a new replacement, returned keyboard. If it sounds a little odd then i could email you to explain why i have 2 brand new unused Anker batteries.

I looked on their website and they are priced at £24.99 but listed out of stock. They seem to be store specific, try the branch in your town. It's strange that they are instore at £5.00 but out of stock online.
Failing that, and if you have a PayPal account, I can send you one and invoice you via PayPal (£5 & £3 p&p). I did the same for Dee™ who wanted one of the ZeroLemon 7000mAh batteries. He lives in Oz, but got the battery OK.

I did find a £5 asda link for what you bought which is as above....... which said it was discontinued (at that price pressumably). You got one hell of a deal there...or 4 of them.

I gave a link to buy the cutter if your service provider don't sell micro sim or cut sims.
If you need to use the sim at the normal size in a next phone, you just have to buy a micro sim adapter.
