i need a Black Hard Rubber Case n Battery Cover at Cheapest Rate
Related
This is kind of an extension of another thread but its a big deal so thought I would headline 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.
P.S., Can't take a pic because my camera is on the phone inside the case. Basically looks like a Defender only a little fatter.
Hello.
Everyone probably knows the Seidio brand products and know that they are not the cheapest.
In search of a cheaper alternative I started to wonder whether the present on eBay Samsung Galaxy Nexus Black Extended Battery Case Cover Protective TPU will fit with Seidio SURFACE Clip Holster?
Does anyone have the opportunity to see if they fit?
It's hard to judge just based on pictures.

I have ran this combo in the past on my EVO 4G , I also run it my Nexus LTE . It will work but you need to modify the holster slightly for it to fit correctly . With out modification the TPU case will be very snug to the point that putting it in and pulling it out of the holster has some resistance . I usually lightly heat up the lower prongs one at a time with a lighter and lightly bend them outward . With the prongs adjusted the phone in the tpu case will easily go in and come out of the holster . I did this by LIGHTLY heating the base of the prongs it doesnt take alot of heat .
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 have this fairly dense but flexible case on my nexus. Once in a while I forget to put the back cover on before putting the case back on, and this demonstrates that there is up to 4 or so millimeters of extra room between the battery and the rubber case (if the case is stretched out a little, considering I've stuffed thick bus tickets between the phone and case) which can be used for battery. I took paper slices stacked to 3mm and placed them in the battery well, then put the original battery on top, and without a back, put the case on. The case holds very well, if not tighter, and bulges a millimeter, almost unnoticeable difference from stock.
Questions:
1. Any such legitimately 2500 mAh or so battery available? Something at most 4mm thicker than the original. That would make battery thickness about 1.7x stock.
2. Will the reception or functionality suffer from lack of the back cover? It seems to have some sort of probably conductive material which covers the antenna connector within the back cover itself.
This can be a solution for those who can't have that extra centimeter of extended case.
To reassure, I have clearly seen a picture of an extended battery that adds 2-4mm of height. Just under double the physical size of the original. It wasn't the 2000mAh I believe.
i have the virgin mobile galaxy s3 [rooted with stock ROM] with otterbox defender case AND a hyperion 4200 mAh extended battery, and have gotten the two to work perfectly together with NO cutting of anything.
what i did was use the rubber wrapping of the otterbox as well as the front part of the actual hard case. with the phone and the extended battery with the backplate hyperion supply, its impossible to fit it into a defender case with the whole hard shell, but what i did was plop the phone in the rubber wrapping, (with the hyperion extended battery and back plate it came with) and then just put the front portion of the hard shell on. it takes a bit of force to get the edge wrapped all the way around the front part of the hard shell because of how much more space is occupying the rubber portion, but it actually fits perfectly. i've always thought with the otterbox hard shell there was too much wiggle room between the rubber and the hard shell in the middle of the back of the phone anyway, but this fills it in perfectly.
unfortunately because i'm a new user it won't let me post the link to the battery+case combo, but if you google "galaxy s3 hyperion 4200" its the third link @newegg
the only problem with this setup is that because you have no back portion of the hard shell in place, the pieces of rubber that cover the headphone jack and the charger aren't locked into place by the hard shell anymore, and because the side locks of the hard shell are located on the back portion, you can't put the phone into the belt holster because it has nothing to clip into anymore. in my case, i never use the belt holster, and the headphone jack and charger cover don't flap around or anything, so it works perfectly for me.
the problem i had with the cutting of the hard case solution is that if you were to drop the phone and it landed directly on the battery, theres a good chance somethings going to break. with the backplate that hyperion offers, theres still plenty of heavy duty plastic (and rubber with the otterbox case) between the ground and the inner workings of the phone and i get the insane battery life of the 4200 mAh battery.
unfortunately i don't have a camera to take any pictures with at the moment, but figured i would post it here so hopefully someone else can enjoy the same type of setup i have.
