I'm really thinking to get an extended battery for my universal,
the only thing that's holding me back is to find a case for it.
Any idea which case will be suitable? i'm looking for one with a belt clip.
My case
I've got CAPDASE case:

It is originally not designed to hold the extended battery but it does fit my UNI with Extended battery on it and I can even close the case with a little pull on the case cover.

I want to get an extended battery (nothing huge, no 3500 for me, but something in the lower 2000s will be fine) but I don't want to sacrifice being able to use a badass case like Trident cyclops or defender (can't decide which I want).
However, I don't think there's a 2000+ sized battery that'll fit in the stock case, so do any of those companies make cases for phones that have extended batteries?
If not, can anyone tell me the largest battery you can fit inside of a stock back door?
1800 is the biggest that will fit under the stock door....I just got a 3500 and will NEVER go back..awesome!
you can fit the sprint 2600 in the ballistic case with some modifications... there is a thread about it somewhere on here where someone was asking and I posted pictures showing what needed to be done
bump......
no one makes a rugged extended case except sedio man... thats it, your only option other than modding the ballistic case.

i did this and its awesome!
I have the Seidio Extended battery and simply took one of my TPU cases and modded the back to be cut open around the extended part. The remaining cover still houses the sides and corners as usual and the extended case protects the camera/flash area. I have dropped it a few times and it has held up just as well.
At $4-5 a case, simple enough to do. I didn't want the added bulk of the Seidio Rugged, and the slim one piece case just simply fails to protect the phone when being dropped.
Some very small [email protected] pics from my webcam.
***Just read elsewhere that a credit card makes the perfect shape to cutout for a perfect tight fit to the Seidio Extended's bumpout.

does anybody ever buy extended 2000mAH and fit suitable mesh case for it'?
i have SGP ultra silke (rubber case) and it is ok for 2000mah battery + bigger back door.
do you have some others cases which you are use?
i use this black mesh case but it bend at the bottom back like the original shape. and if i plan to buy the extended battery, it would fit anymore to my phone.
This mesh case is really good for protection and anti-slippery. So any suggestion instead of using rubber case?
certainly better than a good 30% but does not do miracles ....
One of the top threads is about extended battery compatible cases...
So I went and bought the Mugen 3900mAh Extended Battery for CDMA version (LTE) and love it, the battery life is awesome.
Here in lies the problem.. the back cover is ugly and is useless as ****
-1st the kick-stand is retarded; why would I want to use this trash and its flimsy as hell
-2nd the back cover takes up useless space thus making the phone look like a 'whale' (which I don't mind but wont fit any case )
So any solution? I have tried the Trexcell TPU Cover Case and it was close to fitting but the back cover but looks like its made out of too much plastic. Is there a cover that will fit the 3900mAh battery or a case that will fit the 'whale' coverback?
I did try the phone without the back cover with the Trexcell and it fits very good so could I use it without the cover? Is that dangerous?
Ideas?
Well I Didn't see any cases.
Have to where it naked
I'm looking for an extended battery for my GS3, somewhere in the 4200mAH region but would like to have a folio case as well.
Has anyone come across a back plate for extended batteries or a battery that comes with the back plate that is the same style as the Samsung folio cases?
The only ones that I can find are the external battery cases and that's not really what I want.
Thanks!
has no one come across one of these?
Thought I would share my extended battery mod.
This allows the official Samsung 3000mah battery to fit perfectly into the Slim Armor case. The case looks similar to the Slim Armor made by Spigen for various phones but this particular case is not made by Spigen.
Things you will need:
S3 (duh)
3000mah extended battery
Slim Armor case
Dremel or Stanley knife
Some booze
Steps:
Measure or trace position of battery on origional S3 battery door and cut it out with a rotary tool or Stanley knife.
Lay battery door inside the soft part of the case and cut out where the battery will go.
Install new battery and put on battery door and assembled Slim Armor case.
The gap between battery and case is perfect but if for some reason you have some wriggle room put a layer or 2 of soft tape inside to close the gap.
------------------------
Hope this helps people like me that would like some extra battery life without turning your phone into a landmark you could spot from space.
I will try to upload some photos if I figure out how.
A quick update on this mod.
Been using this for a week now and no issues to report.
Battery and case still fit snug.

hm this looks interesting, i wonder if it will work with other extended battery likes hyperion or anker. Are any other extended battery the same thickness as the OEM extended battery?
There really isn't much more room in the case to fit a physically larger battery. You could maybe cram another millimeter in there but it might snap the hard plastic part of the case. I'm guessing unless those batteries are in the 3500mah and under range it won't work. I would like to be proven wrong though .
