Thats the only one I found as well. Was hoping to find a TPU one.
There was one custom one floating around which I saw on ebay, but i read that it covers the front camera, and some people had problems pressing the buttons.

Ya its a pain in the ass to find anything for the aftermarket battery's and doors I ordered a silicone one to help protect my phone just sold my ballistic case sucks cause no holster for the extended batteyr unless u spent 60 on a seidio batt and there gear which is over priced Chinese battery's work just the same if not the same thing my OEM battery from sprint was made in China hope more cases come out so we are not forced to by from one company.
Tpu case on moretalktime.com free shipping. New one coming out with larger openings on April 20±.

I have a silicon case that I am planning to make two cuts in with a razor which will fit over the extended battery. If only I ever used my extended battery...
The seidio big rugged yada yada yada case works with the chinese extended batteries you just leave the back off your phone. The camera is exposed but its always exposed and the case sits close enough that the battery doesn't fall out.

P.s. its not really called the yada yada yada I just don't remember its exact name. It comes in four pieces: back, skin, part that snaps over/around skin, and holster. I know thats a lot of technical terms but it gives you the idea.

I just bought this yesterday and seemed to be the best price for what you get. The only thing is that they shipped the 80 something cents screen protectors first WTF. I wanted the 80 something dollars worth of cases first. lol Still feel good about this investment.
You can modify the ballistic hc to fit the extended batteries, theres a thread around here somewhere.

I modified the Ballist HC but its a lot of work and you risk damaging it. Also I have the Seidio ext rugged and like it. Its built better than the standard rugged and I don't have a problem using the notifications menu bar like I do with the Ballistic. I don't care for the Seidio holster though. Rick
I modified my ballistic as well but the sanding and grinding was more complicated than I thought so I just cut a hole in the back to fit the battery door and I can use my stock kickstand and it looks good with the silicon/ rubber case on top of it. I prefer the seidio locking clip to the ballistic, it gives me more security when I lock the phone in it, I wish the ballist had this.

My issue with the seidio holster is if you have a jacket etc. on it gets caught on the top clip of the holster. Hey there's another reason to move to a warm climate, ha-ha
P.S. good idea with cutting through the back, that would allow me to use the 3500 battery instead of the sprint 2600
The Seidio "Surface" Extended Battery Case for HTC Thunderbolt Extended Batteries is now shipping on Seidio's official site. Only a matter of time until it hits Amazon and the price starts dropping. It currently retails for $29.95 USD
UPDATE: The "Convert" Extended Combo kit and "Active" Extended Case are also now shipping. All options can be seen on the main Thunderbolt product page.

Yeah, I'll probably wait until it hits Amazon. Looks like it should be easier to hold (comfortably) then without a case. From I can see the bulge extends down further...
ya the case gives it a uniform fatness instead of the bulge. wish they didnt do that so they wouldnt have had to cover up the built in kickstand. but oh well.
Convert combo shouldn't be that far behind...

I wonder if it would be possible to remove the kickstand from the phone before snapping the case on? Seems having two kickstands would kill the sound pretty good

you guys do realize that all of the seidio cases are FLAWED!!!
they have a built in kickstand which wont allow the metal kickstand on the phone to be flipped open thereby allowing the speaker to work properly???!!
Oh, yeah. Ordering now! I have been waiting for this!
I'm so psyched they are finally shipping. Just ordered the Active X for extended as well. I have the stock one and it's my daily driver

Bodyglove case doesn't stretch. I've had it for 11 months now.
if you're getting those $3 cases off ebay they seem to do that after awhile of constantly putting them in and taking them out of your pocket.

You should get the Commuter instead. The hard polycarbonate shell helps to keep from stretching.

The cases that stretch and tear are made of silicone. Otterbox uses silicone, seidio, and alot of others. The body glove mirage is made of tpu thermoplastic. You can crease tpu cases hard and they will always pop back to like new shape.

The only downsides of the tpu cases is I don't know of any thick tpu cases for the captivate. If otterbox and seidio would offer their current cases but make the rubber portion out of tpu they would be ideal.

Indeed. I regularly switch between the body glove mirage and seidio active x just to change things up. The silicone part of the seidio is getting beat up slightly. Luckily the plastic outer part of the case helps avoid the stretching effect.

i have the Body Glove case for it i just got this phone on april of this year and i agree with samvillian its just a gut feeling that this phone gives you haha, but did you guys hear about that new phone att just came out with its the Samsung infuse, its 4g better processor and bigger screen, i kinda want to replace it but take a look at the infuse back plate and camera it just looks crappy the way they put it together i like the camera position on the captivate to the left of the device.

Infuse? Naah, i'll wait for something with a dual-core (or quad-core) for that matter.
4G? Not at my place. lol.
On the upside, the body glove mirage case is available for the infuse as well.
Has anyone bought and tried out this casing? It's a aluminium bumper, just like those for iphones. Looks interesting although that front bezel is over pronounced imo. If you anyone has bought this maybe a short review and some pictures will be greatly appreciated.

Wowie! Looks great. Too pricey for me though to try to find out whether it'll fit the VZW version..
I thought 35 wasn't too bad considering the fact that I had a friend who paid 130 for an element case for the iPhone. Lol
I'm using a GSM phone with standard battery and I have a friend whose using VZ LTE with extended so ill definitely let you guys know how it fits!
If anything, it does seem like the full battery cover is exposed so I would assume the extended batteries would fit. That's also another plus for me since I swap out with ebay batteries when I'm running low!

yeah, I agree.. looks like it adds a good 3mm "lip" on the front...
those are over priced, I get them for USD 15 over in china.
Looks pretty cool. I'd be interested how they look and fit on the VZ w/o extended battery.
Ordered as soon as I saw this post, and it FINALLY came in today!
It does add a bit of bulk and weight, but it feels pretty sweet!
My favorite thing about this case though is the fact that the battery door is exposed so I can easily remove the back cover and swap out batteries without taking the whole case off!
With that said, there's definitely a good chance that the extended battery would fit, but the case is pretty fitted on GSM so I honestly don't think it will fit the VZ LTE model.

Yes it does add bulk to it. I was using a 4500mAh from mugen previously. Sent it back for an exchange for the 5400mAh one.
Well the thickness is twice the thickness of the original note. Given my battery can only last at most 8 hrs for stock. using this mugen one can last me 18 - 24 hs, sometimes 13-15. depending on how agreessive is the usage.
Tons of review out there. I believe the new 5400mAh will last longer than that.
Btw, the case they gave give a better grip of the phone and with a kickstand. how awesome is that. =)
