I have been wanting a extended batter for my dx but wanted a case that fit it right. Well Trident made that happen.
I have already bought this product and it is pretty nice. MY phone is pretty thick now but I actually find it easier to hold. I know a few people have also posted wanting something like this so check it out. Price isn't to bad either if you consider you are getting a good case and an extended battery.
xda won't let me post links yet so you will have to find it yourself. Its on cyclopscase<dot>com
Go to the website above, choose droid x on the left and then sort by highest price and it should be the first one.
t would be nice if they sold it without the battery too

Yeah it sucks when you already have the battery and want to buy the case.
On a good note though. WHen you're just at home for a long period of time, you can charge one battery and take it out and charge the other one. Then when you're out and about all day, bring both batteries with you and switch em out when one dies.
Well, the hard part for me is finding a case that works with larger batteries. Which is why it was a relief to find this, which has a case made just for the extended battery.
Isnt the Trident Electra Better than the cyclops? its 3200mh
*edit* nevermind.. I missread what you were looking at.
Trident is making the best stuff now
They passed otter box up ages ago
I would never buy another otter box product after I wrote them an email and they never had the professionalism to write me back.
They must be all about money and greed.
FYI , I wrote Mugen Power about making a high capacity extended battery for our Tmobile SGSii T989 and they wrote back and said it would release before Christmas. Im planing on getting one and will update the OP with a review when they release.
thats the same person i talk to and he/she says it be release in november...well its december..
That would be sweet. Battery life is already great on this phone given how it is on so many other android phones. I bet I could easily go 2 days without charging with a better battery!
A little FYI about Mugen Batteries. Check this out.
i had mugen on my G2 and it was good! and i am a power user, i can drain it in 12 hours, i use wifi hot spot alot but nonetheless it is worth it.

That's interesting, but what if the battery on the left was a 1800mAh battery, that would make it a 3000 mAh battery. I don't know what to think about the picture but I have used Mugen batteries before with good results.

that's the reason why i've never purchased their batteries,
it's great an all, they even include the battery door cover, but.....
there are no cases that fit!!!!!! when you use them, so that's a big no no for me

Probably not the most convenient but I stick with OEM batteries, they're cheap enuf on ebay and having 2 batteries works just fine. Also the cases fit fine along with the OEM car dock. OEM might be more expensive, but it's the real deal
I think AllGamer has stated this in a different thread already much better than me
The inability to fit a case with these extended batteries prompted me to import a T-Moble PowerSkin, at 70.99 USD after a 20% discount this thing should have came with a bj or something.
It doubles the thickness, i am not sure how i feel about the quality of it yet, it feels good to the touch but it doesn't feel like it fits the device tightly, and to transfer files via usb you have to remove the case because they did not enable usb pass-through from the case charging port to the port that connects the case to your phone. The thickness i can deal with i knew it was coming, i like the idea it was a case too, but it kind of feels like it fits like ****. like its been stretched out by taking it on and off multiple times.
Not that i can bother returning it, i'll just have to eat it. Shipping it back would cost half the price of the case, put in the value of my time to complain to them and im sure at least 2 emails/calls. What can yah do.
Can you post a link for where you ordered the powerskin from and post some pics?

They're customer service is actually very good. I emailed them about a blackfriday code 2 days after I made my order and they refunded me 15%.. today I emailed about not receiving the case and they sent me a replacement for free and said that if both cases come, I'm welcome to keep both
EDIT - Idk how I managed to post in the wrong thread lol.. I was looking at many case threads at the same time and I thought I was in the diztronic one when I posted this. my bad
So does anybody know where I can get a cool case for my GNex? The iPhone has so many awesome ones and all of the ones for the Nexus are boring. I prefer TPU cases but if the case is awesome enough, it won't matter.
I've already seen the cases that have the Android pattern on the back, and I'm certainly not interested in cases that have large flowers on them. I've gone to so many different sites but still, no luck.
Damn, I guess that's the biggest flaw in Android huh? No cool cases. /facepalm

I never said that it was a major problem. I actually hate iPhones. The only thing I envy is the selection of cases. I have owned literally every Droid that Verizon has/had to offer. I'm the biggest Android fanboy ever.

I was thinking of more novelty-like cases, not cases for hardcore protection. For example: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...alaxy+nexus+gameboy&_sacat=See-All-Categories
The only problem is that I have a CDMA Nexus, and those probably wouldn't fit well.
LOL epic case
Those things look sweet!
Buy a white tpu or silicone case and get creative with a sharpie?
unfortunately, the reason you see so many "cool" iPhone cases is you have one size phone. size "fragmentation" is hurting each android phone.. but, yeah, if you look, there are some pretty nice cases out there.
Although, I do wish I could get a BookBook for my Nexus....
I'm ordering one of the gameboy cases and I will tell you how it fits with standard / extended battery for the VZW Nexus

The phone itself is cool enough, it doesn't need a cheap case to make it cool.
Casemate tough is my choice. It's everything the Otterbox commuter should've been

Hey guys so this is a thread for all to post random cool unique things one can buy or mods you can DIY to make the E4GT even more spectacular.
Looking for stuff like unique cases/covers, extended batteries, battery doors etc
And also cool DIY mods such as paint, texturizations etc i know there are a few daredevils out there that have done some cool mods so feel free to post links and pictures. lets see what we can find!
I would love to find a metal back door!
Heres something cool that i found among an extended battery thread
Trexcell extended battery, said to be excellent for the price, and what do you know they also had the sense to make a a tpu case for it! i was surprised i have never seen a case especially for an extended battery
BTW they are on sale on ebay so i think you guys should check it out if your interested 17.49 for the battery + back plate and 10.99 for the tpu case
here are the links
Trexcell battery:

If i helped hit the thanks button!
This belongs in the accessories section...
Wow... I can only imagine what kind of battery life we'd get out of that 3800mah monster. And for only $17 bucks are you freakin' kiddin' me? Great find man, will definitely be grabbing that come pay day.

Nice but...
Nice, but expensive!
Agreed. They're known for being pricey.
Great. Thanks for posting this.
I have had Noreve cases before....they are always very high quality leather.
I like the thiness.
Very tempting !
I just bought this one 4 days ago. It's a ROCK.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ROCK-tex...6?pt=AU_TabletAccessories&hash=item257507249a
Update:
Couldn't resist, I just bought it !
It's perfectly designed in my opinion. I don't think one will find a better case. Much better than Samsung's case.
Since I purchased several items before from Noreve, they gave me a special certificate and I got a $23.00 discount. It only cost me AUD $70.00.
I will mostly likely sell my ROCK case !

How do you like the Rock Case? Any good? What about the insides? Any chance it will scratch up the finish of the Note because the edges don't look very soft.
Also, does it hold on nice and tight? I noticed there is a strap on the back; how exactly do you get it to wrap around the front? Couldn't find any videos for it.
What color is yours? I'd be interested in picking it up if you can ship overseas.
Rock Case---Ebay US has it up on there site. I ordered from there last week- Shipped from China. I should have it in a few days and will post some comments and pix. I like the look of the Rock case.

Could you post a couple of photos when you get it?
I was actually planning on buying one for myself, but now that I've checked out the pictures on their website, I'm not that impressed. Their case for Galaxy Tab 2 seemed a bit more premium than this, in my view...

It hasn't arrived yet. Should be here any day now.
I believe the strap is made of some sort of elastic as a photo shows it being wrapped around the case on their ebay sites.
I got the grey coloured one. I'll report back about your concerns about the possibility of scratches on the device.

Yes, I'll post some pictures when it arrives. But the site says that it is not due until the 13th.
Didn't see the Tab one. But I haven't really seen anything better that's real leather and is designed with all the important design features that are really important to me.

The biggest thing going for the Noreve IMO, besides the fantastic quality is the all around protection it offers the device around the bezel area. Most of the other cases that look good seem to just cover the device at the corners.
I was waiting for the Samsung case but could not resist this case, it really does look awesome. I noticed on the site that they had two styles but I chose the one on the Op's link as I did not want one with a magnetic fastener.
The site advised that they manufacture/hand make it within 14 days. I ordered the dark brown one, they call it Châtaigne.
I really hope I won't be disappointed with this case.
Edit: link below shows both designs:

Mmm...let me guess, does the name of the case you want rhyme with "penis"
LOL it might, I honestly don't remember. Just remember seeing it and a price tag. I immediately fainted.
I just ordered the sable vintage version of the case linked in the OP's post. I was thinking I'd order the Zenu case, but as it's not yhet available, and I wasn't overly keen on the embossing all over it, I think this one will do the trick.

It's the "exception" selection, second one along.
If you click on it and expand have a look at the opened page, there's some examples of each styles with review pages. I looked at the one for the Sable Vintage section by tabletpccorner.net (would post the link but I can't post links yet - too new...). The photos in this review "sold" me on the look.

After looking at the current selection of Zenus cases, I'm back on the Noreve bandwagon. Good looking to a fault, and classic.
