Has anyone had any luck finding a rugged style case (Otterbox, Ballistic, etc..) that will fit an extended battery (3500 mah). Been searching all over the web and have come up dry.
Thinking about buying a rugged case for a standard battery and trying to modify it to fit.
Any votes on what brand to butcher-up?

Hi I just want to share my findings on a slim cover and mod it for the extended battery. I have tried the otterbox impact cover and i didnt like it its too bulky for me and so rubbery. I just want to maintain the slim profile of my captivate and have protection from scratches. I found one case on ebay and tried to mod it heres the link of the case http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mesh-Hole-H...&otn=1&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=2739256548890032791 and below the posted pictures of the mod case
Hey that really looks desent for a big battery like this. I think I will try this one as well. I´m tired of constantly charging my cappy.
Did you modified that casing by yourself? or does it come from the retail like that?
It is not apparent from the pictures (to me) how you modded the case to fit. Did you just cut a hole for the battery and the remaining case had enough structure to stay on the phone?
Why not buy a case that you don't have to mod...that is custom made for the extended battery? There is a seller on eBay (moretalktime) who sells custom TPU cases for a lot of phones including the captivate with the extended battery.
does anybody ever buy extended 2000mAH and fit suitable mesh case for it'?
i have SGP ultra silke (rubber case) and it is ok for 2000mah battery + bigger back door.
do you have some others cases which you are use?
i use this black mesh case but it bend at the bottom back like the original shape. and if i plan to buy the extended battery, it would fit anymore to my phone.
This mesh case is really good for protection and anti-slippery. So any suggestion instead of using rubber case?
certainly better than a good 30% but does not do miracles ....
One of the top threads is about extended battery compatible cases...
Hey folks, i wanted to ask everyone their opinion about the battery and back case i should buy to cover the 4400 mAh sized battery i am looking at purchasing.
Im thinking about buying a battery between 4200-4400 mAh but i dont know what manufacturer i should choose... whether it only be Anker, Hyperion, or Ezo? Which is the best battery overall for those extended battery sizes? I have narrowed it down to those manufacturers from what i have read in these forums but i didn't read all 50+ pages of the battery threads.
I would love to find a combo deal where i can get the battery, back cover and case though. I have come across some combo deals on ebay from (U.S.) sellers but the TPU cases that are sold in package deals or sold as a single item show that the TPU cases all fit only up to a 4200 mAh battery?
So what kind of GS3 phone cases (TPU or whatever) have been found to fit 4400 mAh batteries or am i stuck with getting a 4200 mAh battery with TPU case or so to fit that size battery?
I am looking for a case that would fit very snug around the extended 4400 mAh battery because that is my preference. Price for both battery and case does not matter!
Thanks for everyone's input.
Hyperion 4200 battery with TPU case is what I'm using. I'm getting 28-30 hrs of use on a single charge. Works great for me. Not too bulky and good grip.

I am looking for an extended battery that has a case similar to the Otterbox Cases. I looked into Trident cases, but their extended life battery is weaker than my stock battery (Electro case is 2000mHa, my stock is 2100mHa)
Any suggestions?
I'm looking for 2300mAh or greater. It must have an otterbox-like case though.
Also I am not interested in hacking apart my current otterbox case to fit them.
I dont want to get a Seidio specific extended battery case since it costs like 30+ and would prefer a cheaper and better looking alternative elsewhere like on ebay. Anyone have any experiences like swapping out the Seidio extended cover for a generic extended battery cover that's cheaper so I can slap on a cheap case.
