I know many of us want to know, so to all the Defender owners out there (I'm still waiting for mine from Amazon) can it be modded to work with the 2600mAh battery or one of the 3500mAh eBay batteries? The commuter is just a tad to small for it to work, I'm hoping the answer is yes for the Defender.
I've ordered a 2nd battery door that I'm planning on cutting out a hole in so the battery pokes out. I suppose you could roll without a battery door at all as well. The next step would be to cut out the inside silicone membrane of the Defender to make room for the battery. At least that's my plan anyway.

Sounds exciting my man. Waiting to see the final product
I too am wanting to know the answers to this question...
after looking at a defender case on a friend's Iphone I was thinking it may be possible... but you would prolly have to cut some of the Defender's hard casing up to make it all fit
we really just need someone who has one and an extended battery to "eyeball" it for us
bump...
I really wish a Defender owner could chip in here

I wouldn't see why not, but you'll be cutting through the hard plastic, not the silicone, the defender has the plastic on the inside and rubber on the out,so it will allow a bit of leeway depending on the elasticity of the silicone wrap. But without first seeing how far the 2600mAh battery sticks out, or knowing the thickness of the Otterbox's plastic, it's kind of a measure it and find out or just do it and find out.
Judging from pictures the 3500 battery looks to be about 2 times thick as stock. Which should put you about flush with the camera lens without the stock battery door. Everything looks like it should work hollowing out the inside of the defender exept they moved the kickstand up a little higher so you probably wont have enough meat there to support it.
i think the kickstand would be in the way... unless you want to cut that out completely and have no kick stand.
Im looking at my commuter and see the possibility of cutting out the battery back along with modifying the seidio battery cover to remove the rails... it should work better than on the defender.
dont know whether or not i want to commit to sticking a dremel tool in my case and doing some surgery.... i miss my extended battery though.
I have a defender case that I was willing to cut out but after studying it I realize its not worth even trying. The kickstand area would have to be completely cut out, the protector for the camera lens and led would also have to be cut out because the bottom edge would have to be cut for the battery to go through. The only hope is one of the seidio extended cases, the rugged in particular.

I currently am using the rugged but dont have the extended but my sister in law does so ill do some investigating and ill post back the results. I think it should be ok but itll lose the silicone camera lense cover. Theres no kickstand so thats good. Only prob i think is the plastic outer might be too narrow.
Keep us posted, if it works I will buy one in a heartbeat. I can't stand having my EVO naked any longer but don't want to lose the extended battery either.

For the amount of cutting that would need to be done, it probably would not be worth it. There is a lot of plastic to knife through. The silicone isn't terribly flexible either.
The case would be butchered due to fitment. Not worth spending $30 to essentially destroy a decent case.
I did it!
I have a big fat 3500 mah battery.
I also own a Defender. I put my EVO in the plastic Defender case WITHOUT the battery back on. I did not try to close the plastic case (it won't close), I just carefully stretched the rubber exterior over my ghetto rig and voila, IT FITS!
The answer is:
1) Leave the battery back off.
2) Don't try to clip the plastic case closed.
3) Carefully stretch the rubber exterior over.
Take pics I wanna seeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!
No need, just looks like a slightly fat defender.

So what about the 2600mAh one from Sprint. If I leave the back door off do you think the case would go together?

Think you forgot the link.
Which extended battery are your referring to? If you are talking about the seidio 3500 then you will need either a leather pouch case or try the innocase extended from seidio.
I got the Seidio Rugged extended case combo, and it's absolutely awesome. 3 layers of protection. My phone is huge, but I've dropped it from a second floor balcony and there wasn't a scratch on it. It's a bit pricey ($50) but it's 2 cases and a skeleton...

I posted pics in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=736273
I would highly recommend it, especially if you're clumsy.
Ok,
Well I may just order that this Friday.
Mine does not have the big "hump" on the back, but instead has the "smoothed" out back.
Will that case still fit?
If so I found it here http://www.listwow.com/htc/htc-evo/...-case-and-holster-combo-for-htc-evo-4g-black/
Or here http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003SNIRCO...e=asn&creative=395105&creativeASIN=B003SNIRCO
I would imagine that it would still fit even though it is made for the "hump" back. The inner hard case snaps on really tight, so I don't think the phone would move any, even though you have the smoothed out back. I'm not 100% sure on this though.
Trying to decide on a case for an evo. Hopefully getting an evo with my upgrade January first and just trying to do my due diligence. Have an otterbox commuter for my hero and love it.
What case do you have?
Pros and cons?
Screen protector necessary? Never had one on my hero but I know the evo's screen is much bigger.
Thanks in advance for your replies!
Aosp froyo, It's the poop!
Seidio rugged
I have the seidio rugged case for my evo. Its only about 40 bucks off ebay. I like it better then both the otterbox and ther ballistic. It looks better...has more protection and if for any reason you ever have to take it off its alot easier to remove then the other cases.

I have 2 Seidio Rugged cases and they both fell apart with mild use. The tabs on the end snapped off and the covers are peeling. The thin rubber also tore off with time.
I have 2 Trident Cyclops cases now, they feel like they are built much better. It seems slightly sleeker but I think it offers at least as much protection.
For heavy duty use, go Ballistic.

i agree with this.
go with trident or ballistic.
personally i love my trident cyclops.
With the Trident do you not have the rainbow issue on screen from screen protector?
Also heard that pictures from the camera have a blue tint with the Cyclops on.
Aosp froyo, It's the poop!
the ballistic has more protection than any case out right now. the design of the ballistic is delightful. it is EXTREME protection. it has a built in screen protector and an additional screen protector thats optional. you can drop the phone from the ceiling to your floor and it will save the phone.. i have a mint grey ballistic case im selling for $30 bux shipped in the classifieds. smoke it over and look at the photos to check it out.
without the silicon jacket the ballistic case is close in size to the otterbox defender. you can use the included holster with or without the silicon jacket if you dont need the full protection. all ports are covered with the silicon jacket on (rubber flaps over the jack and bottom ports) the camera, LED lamps and speaker on back are all protected. the
IMO the Ballistic case is a much superior product. second to that would be the otterbox....
Thats weird. I work construction and trust me ive pushed this case to the limit and its held up everytime. Ive had it since june and it still fits just as snug as day1. As far as the ballistic my co-worker had a ballistic on his htc incredible and his cracked while in his pocket simply by stepping up a latter. The preesure of his jeans pushing down was enough to crack it. I dropped my seidio down a elevator shaft and simply scuffed my belt holdster

yeah, sometimes i get a rainbow effect in certain areas, even with the premium protector. i don't really notice it when the screen is on though.
the blue tint is from the piece of plastic they put inside to cover the camera and led's. i just popped it out.
I think it really depends on what you're going to be doing with your phone, where you're going to be most of the time, and how likely you are to drop it.
To say that any one case is the "best" case for the evo (and any phone/thing you put a case on lol) would be wrong, imo.
Say you're looking for looks -- you'd go for something like a barely there from casemate
Say you're looking for full on rugged protection -- you'd go for something like the ballistic
For reference, I've heard not great things about build quality of the Defender from Otterbox, and Seidio cases. *anecdotal, so take it as you will*
As I said in another thread, I have the Impact series case from Otterbox.
Fits my needs, so it's the "best" case for me.

Unless I'm missing something, they don't make any Ballistic cases for the Incredible...
Ballistic does not make cases for the Incredible. The only HTC phone they have a case available for is the HTC EVO. www.goballisticcase.com
I'm currently using an Otterbox Defender for mine and its holding well. I'm interested in a Ballistic HC because since they introduced it the case looks like a step up from the Defender. I've seen videos and read the personal reviews of people who have had both and the HC is "better" according to most. It all depends on where your phone will be and what you'll be doing with it. I don't really care much about the size. I want a case that is going to protect my $500 investment.
If you want the best protection for your EVO I'd say Ballistic HC or Otterbox Defender. Each is $50 or you can check out the Trident Cyclops which is only $34.95.
if you dont mind the size, the Ballistic blows away the otterbox and the Trident for protection.....
I prefer the Fishbone case...I paid $12 bucks for it and so far it is great for me.

I had the tough case for my Samsung Vibrant and I loved it.
I like the platinum gun metal case I got when I got the phone.
It's lightweight and thin. There is felt on the back inside so it doesn't scuff up your phone. The corners of the front also help to keep my invisible shield in place in case it decided to wander around in the heat.
best case for me
I got a Seidio Innocase for X-mas to replace the one I got with the phone. That, plus an Invisishield is all the protection I need and it suits me. I wanted to try the Impact Series Otterbox, so I ordered one. They sent me a Defender Series and when I called them up they just sent me the right one, no questions asked. I have them both still, but don't use them. The Defender is, well, I just don't drive a tank or work in a war zone, so I don't really need it (and yes, the kick stand on that case is an absolute joke...). The Impact Series Otterbox just sticks in my pocket too much and I can't get it out as easily, but it looks adequate I suppose. The Innocase is great for me, doesn't stick in my pocket, has felt on the back so it doesn't scratch or scuff my device and isn't too bulky. That's why Santa got me another one.
P.S. I think the snap in the back slide-in broke b/c I was pulling it apart quite often to do battery pulls (cause not all ROMs are stable...) and didn't just leave it out of the case like I should have... Only time I've taken the new one off was tonight to put my new Seidio extended 1750 mAh Innocell battery Santa brought in before bedtime to charge over night (ok, maybe one other time...)
Not Swyped from anywhere cause my battery is being conditioned (duh!)
I have the Innocase active in blue.It came down to what I really wanted the case to do for me or rather my phone as well.
I wanted protection first and for most,then comfort in my hand and then looks.
It is a little bulky but that bulk is my protection from waste high drops.My 3 year old nephew has tested it out for me by throwing it on the hard wood floor standing on the kitchen chair...lol
It feels really good to the touch and unless your hands are on the smaller side,you will enjoy the fit.I wear a large glove so it fits me good.
It looks great.The fit and finish are very good.It will take getting use to.A little harder push to operate the power button but a fingernail tip makes it easier.
Now for the wearing it issue...It,while in the case on your side will be odd at first.I am a bigger guy,5`11 228 but my waste is 36.I notice it a lot more than say a smaller framed 150 pounder would but,it does stay put on my belt.I just rotate the top of the phone 90 degrees facing the front of my body and it rides that way with no issues at all.
Worth the money in my opinion.
Hey guys i was wondering what case you would recommend. im very picky with cases since i dont like bulking my phone up but i also dont want to worry about scratches i wish phantomskinz had something. let me know please

Truthfully verizons body glove case is best for non bulkyness.Very stable fits well .ect.
I like my body glove
Personally I have tried the Body Glove case and I like the Otter Box Commuter case a little better. The new Seidio Innocase Active is also a very nice case; a close second to the Otter Box.
Definitely otter box. Slim sturdy and stylish

You should check out Techie Warehouse. If you go to the Covers & Skins area for the Droid X you'll find over 300 covers to choose from.
Best one I got laying around was not a Seidio, Otterbox or Trident... it was the Dual Layer Vertex Covers just google "techie warehouse vertex cover for droid x"
I quote from our product description about this product "The Motorola Droid X gets ultimate protection. A Screen Protector and two virtual walls of defense. The inner silicone core absorbs shock from bumps and drops. A hard polycarbonate exterior shell prevents cuts, scrapes, dings, and damage for the Motorola Droid X."
Let me know what you think of it.
i bought one of the 3 dollar black silicone ones off amazon. works fine for me..

I have had the Otterbox, Seidio, Innocase, Verizon, Kragen, but I didnt really like any of them. Iphone cases are so much more refined compared to these.
The Otterbox Seidio, and Kragen cases are too bulky, the Innocase looks good but broke on me, and the Verizon Kickstand Case was too cheaply made.
There is a guy from another forum thats making a phone case. It looks great but its not for sale yet, I am personally looking forward to it because he claims its easy to open and has a bunch of other features. It looks absolutely beautiful, so lets hope he can pull this off.
Right now Im using a cheap Ebay Silicone case, its not great either but it was only $2 and thats value for money. I also got a Smartphone Coaster, its a cheap bit of tin but it does the job for now.

+1 For the Body Glove
I really enjoy my Body Glove, Although I've managed to wear out the snap on the lower left side by removing the case over time to do a battery pull and it no longer holds securely.
I have a Green Trident Kraken on order, due to arrive today actually assuming UPS will brave the icy roads, Good reviews on protection but they all admit to the sacrifice of sleekness.
The pliable verizon silicone case is nice and it fits with extended battery-Motorola and cover. You can find them for $10 online or eBay.
Check ebay item #250759993717
I bought a Sedieo Innocase Surface back in December it cracked in half in January. They are really nice looking, but if you ever have to do a battery pull or if you want to use your car dock, forget about getting it out of the damn case. It fits way to tight. So I am back to the ole Silicone case, which works fine, but sucks if you put it in your pocket, cause it sticks to cloth / jean material.
I'm on my 2nd Body Glove case.
Likes: Belt clip, rubber texture, light weight
Dislikes: Rubber texture deteriorates, weak tabs will not survive impact.
It has kept my DX from scratches but the tabs that snap it together break too easily. First was replaced under warranty. I think I will kick out the $ for an Otter.

Those cases with tabs that snap together aren't meant to be taken apart, after 4 or 5 times they will break. I created a case that opens easily, has no tiny tabs to break and has a multitude of other features.
I've also taken great care to make sure that the case is placed further away from the screen and buttons making it easy to touch the screen and press the buttons on the bottom.
There's space for the OEM extended battery, an extra micro SD card, and even an ID or credit card.
The case also functions as a stand and car mount, my case allows you to watch movies, make movies, capture photos, and use your phones GPS in your car with ease. These features not only work with the Motorola Droid X but with other cases, other phones, and even some other electronic devices such as digital cameras.
The case isn't any more expensive then other high quality cases either. Its 20 bucks and made from the same high strength plastic as other high end cases, so basically if your in the market for a case and other accessories you can pay for just the case and get the rest for free essentially.
If you think this case must be huge and weigh a lot you'd be surprised, its really a simple concept, its almost like a normal cellphone case but we've changed a the design a bit to allow it to function as an adjustable stand.
I can't post links yet so you'll have to google "Jawcase" to find more info, pics, and videos.
I like the Jawcase concept. Alot. I pledged. And good luck with getting your project off the ground Heather. Hope it gets funded.
I've gone through 3 body gloves now with my 4th's clips are broken yet again....
I think its a bit ridiculous that I cant take my phone case off because the clips can't stand it.
I need to find a new case, and I'm thinking of just going with one of the hard-ish silicone cases. The body glove looks great when you buy it, but the rubber wears away like no tomorrow and the clips are destroyed after a couple battery pulls. I had one for my enV touch and it lasted the entire lifespan of the phone with minor tears and such. My droid x's can't last anymore than maybe a month. Don't get me wrong, the body gloves are wonderful, but I'm clearly not having a good experience with it or maybe I'm not handling it properly
+1 for the body glove case. I havent had any issues with the tabs, but i always open it at the bottom with a coin.

Shoot...I was pretty much sold on the Innocase Surface case, was gonna order one in the next few days. I've tried the cheap TPU case, the cheap 2-piece snap together case, maybe I'll try the Verizon silicon one instead of the Innocase.
Is it worth the money or should I stick with one of the other lines that Otterbox has?
I have the Commuter, and it is awesome. Dropped it a couple times onto concrete, zero damage to the phone or the case. I've never owned the Defender, but I hear they have flimsy kickstands (it covers up the built-in EVO kickstand). Perhaps they've redesigned the kickstand by now, not sure. It also has an integrated screen protector, which is great for durability and protection but feels a bit clumsy/imprecise. If you work construction or something with a lot of dust and potential for dropping the phone from heights, the extra protection of the Defender is probably worth it. For medium-duty everyday use, the Commuter is more than enough. It's cheaper and slimmer, although neither case is exactly slim.
Can you get an extended battery with the commuter? I'm interested in getting something durable but will accept the extended battery, really don't want any damage to my EVO. I'm sure you can understand LOL

This is probably my main contention with my Defender. It doesn't really keep the dust out. I usually have to take the case apart once a week to clean the dust and fuzz out of it. just FYI. I would look at the Ballistic cases first: http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/htc-evo-ballistic-hc-series-case
i use the ballistic,its an awesome case. my cousin has the defender on his.the ballistic has a water resistant mesh over the speakers also.
i have the Defender and it's taken some nasty drops.. a few bumps and bruises to the case... but otherwise durable like anything else Otterbox makes.

i have a rooted and nonrooted phone running this and theyre awesome.
with the seidio i use the platinum bran 3500 lithium polymer.
both cases are awesome just depends on what battery you want
Thanks!!!
Thanks for the info guys I really like the Ballistic cases now that I've seen their video and the explanation of what all the layers actually do. I appreciate all the input
I have the Defender on my EVO. I love the case. My only complaint is that it is not as nicely put together as the iPhone case that partially seals the screen. The one nice feature is that it does have a screen protector but unfortunately on my wife's phone, it got destroyed, thanks to my son. Other than that minor complaint, I will continue to use them. They are pretty durable.
