Seidio Extended battery case cover

Just got this bad boy today, fits right over the Seidio Extended battery cover. I like it, makes the phone look a bit wider. Sorry for the ****ty pics but I used my old G1 to take it.
I got this for $23.99 plus $3 S&H totalling to $27.99, bought the extended battery and battery door for $53.99 plus $4 S&H totalling to $57.99 to give me a grand total of $86. Was I nuts for doing this ? MAYBE, but am I happy ? YES and thats all that matters to me.

In case you are looking for a nice quality holster for something of this size, I am using the T-Mobile Sidekick LX holster that I bought at T-Mobile for $5 since they were liquidating it. It fits perfectly like a glove with the SEIDIO battery pack. Im sure you can find more on Ebay.

Innocase Extended Rugged For Htc Evo Now Shipping

http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd4-hkr5hev4x.htm
I just ordered one. 50 bucks is kinda pricey but I don't want to end up with my phone broken because I have no insurance.
Better order one quick before they run out!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Just ordered mine. Was really bummed about not being able to get the Defender but loving the 3500 battery. Funny how they wait till Otterbox releases the Defender to finally release their rugged add on. Can't get me to believe that they just finished design & production, the phone has been our since June.
Sent from my new BFF...Evo 4G that is!

the only problem is having to take everything off to charge the extended batt. from what i have seen here, the evo wont charge these extended batt compleatly. so you have to charge them externaly.

anyone receive this yet have any comments about the case? im deciding whether or not to purchase this, or sacrifice my extended battery for the otterbox defender
! I HATE THIS PREDICAMENT! :/

No! I check back every day but my order is still "Processing". Even though the money left my account almost immediately.

yes please!!!! im going back to my stock battery trying to see if the battery life is "doable" for me right now.... otterbox defender case looks SO MUCH MORE SEXIER than the seidio rugged.. even though seidio has it for the extended battery. i jsut dont want it to breakdown like the original seidio rugged cases... -_-
if i go otterbox then that means i have 2 seidio plus wall charger on sale soon! XD

Mine gets delivered today. Since I won't risk using my EVO without it once it's here, it will be hard to be completely impartial, but I'll give my thoughts once I have it.

I have mine and I'm on the fence about it cause it is a little bigger then just the extended I have . I like the extended i was using but did not like the fact it would scratch the sides of phone when taking on and off .not having top and bottom protection was not a big deal but It did make me feel less secure about using the phone .
Now the extended rugged is nice not sure how I feel about it yet but it looks a lot more beefy and the fact I can use it as a weapon to hit somebody or throw it at some poor soul knock him out then pick it up and use it is cool ..but I'll put it on and see how well it fits in pocket and feels in hand ..
One of my favorites is still the otterbox commuter with sedio 1750 love the looks love the feel it's just nice ..
Now I have never done reviews but if you guys like I can take some pics or side by sides just let me know and I'd be happy to help you make your choice if you are still on fence
Sorry for long post maybe bad grammar and poor punctuation but Hey you can read it (painful or not )

I just got my Extended Rugged combo today this morning. I will post pics after I work. It feels really sturdy. Definitely a brick now. I'm sure it would survive a drop easily. Sadly the kickstand is gone tho.

It takes awhile to put it on and take it off considering its bad to charge the battery in the phone. The rubber attracts dust. The headphone and the charge port are covered with the rubber case as a flap. It feels really sturdy, And once on the device it feels like a tank. It isn't as thick as it looks in the pictures feels nice in the hand and in my pockets ( I wear carpenter jeans a lot ). I don't have to worry about breaking the phone any more. Everything is well packaged and for 50 bucks you even get a holster with it. Everything fits together nicely and the buttons are still really easy to push. I never have had problems with the buttons once even tho in the pictures it looks like they aren't there. It is worth the 50 bucks tho, or 30 if you already have the innocase extended. This is the short review though, It will definitely hold up.

Looks very nice tracking says I'll get mine tomorrow now I'll finally have my phone protected at work and a holster I'm excited been waiting on this for awhile figured of wait for combo instead of just the extended

Let me know how it turns out bro, I'm sure the battery is most helpful use of all.

I love this case comes with extended holster for just using extended case and rugged holster with rugged case rugged case is very sturdy and feels very nice in hand I'm not concerned about dropping my evo anymore
the only complaint I might have is when u try to type far keys next to edge you hit case but on rare occasions
Overall definitely worth the wait plus integration with my seidio car dock using ext case is pure icing on the cake
The only reason I won't upgrade this phone is cause the sheer amount of accessories I bought to get it perfect and I'll wait till it dies
Once again thanks seidio for making best sturdy sexy looking accessories ever

This looks like a major problem to me. Does anyone that hasthis case use one of the "slide style" keyboards? I use one and i'm worried I wont be able to "slide" over and hit the P or the Q. Can someone please let me know if this is true or not.
Also I have another question. Does that big beefy belt clip hold securely on a dress/casual type of belt or does it flop around? A friend of mine had the regular rugged case and he hated the holster because it wouldn't grab onto his regular sized belt it would flop around.

Ballistic HC case for EVO

I recently ordered my ballistic hc case of off amazon just in time because I got my first scratch today so I can't wait to get it. But to all the owners out there, how does it hold up? How does it feel, do you like it, is it worth it? Because this scratch really opened my eyes but at least its not on the display. And on a semi related note, anybody have any tips on how to maybe buff it out or something?

i could beat somebodies head in with this case on my phone and still make the call to 911 when i was done. love it. if you hate bulk you wont like it. overall one of the best cases i have ever bought.

I'm willing to accept the bulk on the basis that it will definitely protect my phone cause I've been scared of touching my poor phone ever since I scratched it today.

Love it, love it, love it. I grabbed mine for $30 off Amazon, and it was WELL worth it. Quality is definitely there. I usually use mine without it around the house, as it is rather bulky, but I wouldn't go to work without it. I truly feel like my phone is protected when I'm out and about now. And the holster is 100x better than the one that came with my Otterbox from my old iPhone 3GS.

Just a little update on how much i love this. i wont get a phone unless they will make a HC case for it. where i work is bad on phones. from dust to long drops.

I love this case, makes the phone feel huge but its ok cause our phones are huge anyways

Until you take the case off, then the phone feels tiny and sexy. I personally don't care how big the phone is, as long as I don't have to worry about dropping it.

I got it off amazon for about $30 as well. It kept going up a dollar every day so I was like I have to take the plunge soon before its at full price again. I can't wait to get it.

Well I have had mine about three weeks now, I broke the holster in the first week and a half, customer serv is sending me a replacement. I was reading a few people having issues with the prox sensor using this case then I noticed I was also, after cutting the plastic screen protector that covers the sensor off it is working perfectly now.

$50 is too much!
$30 on Amazon, bravo, $50 from Ballistic, a bit much. I like mine but have one major complaINT.... WHAT'S WITH THE CHEAP PLASTIC KICKSTAND? They should send everyone a better designed replacement, damn thing is like something out of a CrackerJacks box.

I agree with the stand comment, on another note I got my replacement holster and they sent me a new case because of the prox sensor problem.

i got mine in a few days ago off amazon for $27.... its very durable... probably gon sell it tho... its jus too bulk 4 me... they need to create a slim version.. lol

Without the optional rubber outer layer it's about the same size as the Cyclops. If that's too large for you then you probably will be much happier with something like the Otterbox Commuter.
I personally can't support Otter right now with their poor quality control though.

this is the one!
I just received mine today and all I can say is wow! I have been through so many cases that ended up being junk and I finally have something that delivers the goods!
1st Sprint Body Glove - cracked and broke after 1 week
2nd Zagg screen protection with naked phone. Began to peel after 2 weeks
3rd. Seideo Innocase Active limited edition - 1st one corner cracked and back peeled constantly
4th Second Seido Innocase Active - 2 corners cracked after very minor drop.
5th 5$ ebay rubber/ silicone case. Actually was ok but couldnt use charge port while it was connected.
6th and hopefully final case Ballistic HC! This one feels like a tank! I don't mind the bulk because this one will actually last. I bought it on ebay for $33 here. Don't screw around with other cases like I did (and waste so much $), just get this one and be done with it!

Mine is on the way. $25 off ebay. My seidio rugged really held up great but i just wanted something new ive had that seidio for months. Passed on otterbox for ballistic. Hope its as good as the seidio

This is MUCH better than Seidio. My Seidio is falling apart and unusable, the protection on the Ballistic seems to also be superior.

My Seidio "Rugged" case also fell apart. The Ballistic case is built 100 times better. I can't see this thing falling apart unless I actually try to destroy it.

The design on the Seidio just doesn't make sense, I don't understand why they'd build the exoskeleton that way. Go Ballistic!

This is a great case! We have 4-5 users here that have that case and I borrowed one for a weekend. While I love the protection I just can't get over the bulk, so in the end I kept my Case-Mate Tough Case which has so far protected my phone vs my 2yo.

I have had the Ballistic case for about a week now, I think they made a great case! I have only the one complaint I think everyone does, what the heck were they thinking with the kickstand, it's useless! Though I don't really miss it that much, I wish it were there....

Holster, Case, etc for extended battery?

I'm not having much luck finding the right accessories for the extended battery installed in my Galaxy Nexus from VZW.
I recently purchased a rubberized case that did fit from Staples, but I just killed it trying to re-open it when having to re-seat my sim card.
Not happy about that..20 bucks down the tubes. Might try to find the packaging for it and send exchange it, but ...
Anyhow, I'm searching all over Amazon and it's like hit or miss on stuff. I like the Sedio but my lord it's expensive. 30+ for a case...bleh.
Can someone recommend something that isn't super expensive but can protect my phone?
I really like the rubberized case and I love to holster, so I really want a combo of that, but not at the expense of my wallet.

And now I've found:

Yeah the sticky is pretty useful when deciding on a case. Ive personally owned three with holsters. The Otterbox Defender offered the best protection of course and never felt it would jump out of the holster no matter what. This is obviously extremely bulky but tend to use it when i need the most protection. The Qmadix is a surprisingly very nice case but doesnt offer full protection around the top and bottom. It is very sleek and love the holster on it. The Seido is also a nice case and combined with the holster, is very secure. $30 really isnt too much when you think about it if it serves all your purposes and if it protects your phone from even one drop. I have quite a few cases for my Nexus but tend to stick with my otterbox commuter most. GL in your search and if youre near a Sprint/Verizon store, go in there and compare the cases. Then come back home and order them cheaper on Amazon. I've heard good things about the Kraken as well. GL

Recommendation for a belt leather case?

Hi all,
I just got a Samsung S2 T989 and I love it. Any recommendation for a good leather case for carrying it on my belt?
I got this from Amazon for my Samsung galaxy player 4.0 but it did not last for more than a couple of weeks
(the belt loops broken, stitches came off etc...):
http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Leath...95&sr=1-5&keywords=leather+case+for+galaxy+s2
So I'd appreciate if you could recommend a good one. Thank you very much

well on the internet I think most cases are overpriced except of course the one you posted. I bought mine at a local chinese mall for $10 and it is pretty good quality. I would recommend you do something similar.

I've got the black one I found on ebay for a few dollars less. Best I've found. Nice strong steel clip. Can be used with a Ditzonic or D30 case. Had it since Feb 12 and holding up extremely well. Very satisfied with it.
A little pricey, but worth the money imo.
