My subject says it all. Face it the any stock battery is too small, and everyone is buying the extd. battery, so why the heck can't they make hard cases that fit the Droid 2/D2G with extd. batteries?
Does anyone know of a hard case that will fit it, it would seem easy enough to add a second back and charge a few $$$ more for the extra plastic.
Verizon hard cases fit. They have a hump on back just for that reason. They thought ahead.

Thank you. I actually found one over the weekend at the Verizon store. Crappy part is the way it cuts down on the space at the top of the keyboard. I will get used to it, but not a big fan so far, nor of the price they charge.
If you use any case with the battery door removed it seems to work just fine. The extra lift from the extended battery seems to be about the same as the normal battery cover.
I use my seidio innocase with the extended battery but no door and it works fine.

Which case will fit the extended battery and also will be able to be used with the multimedia dock?
Too bad no Otterbox cases will fit the Droid 2 with the extended battery here
Hi All,
Not sure if this was asked already. I have the "non cased device Holster" from Seidio.

It fits because of the battery. The extended battery is only deeper, the other dimensions were totally unaffected. Youre good to go man.
I'm using the holster now with the extended battery and love it. Little scared with no case but I'm trying to be super careful till something comes out.

Anyone seen this? I love the Verizon holster case but would also love the extended battery..

This is true I tried it at the store. Most disappointing.
The Verizon Shell & Holster Case is what he is talking about:
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&archetypeId=12928&accessoryId=49886
The Verizon Store rep told me it would work with the extended battery and put it on the phone for me. When I got home I noticed that it does not fit correctly. The bottom of the phone sticks out further than the shell, so when you holster it, the phone itself will rub on the holster at the bottom. Not good. I'm returning mine.
--Edited for a more thorough review--
Well I ordered the surface extended backdoor and case. I received the backdoor today (case was ordered yesterday should receive it next week. The backdoor fits over the 4200 mah hyperion battery with no problem and looks and feels better than the door you get with the extended batteries. Design and price are A+.
Bad thing is it came crammed in a box smaller than the retail packaging and one of the side clips was busted so it doesn't sit flush atm. I already sent an email to Seidio so hopefully they rectify it. It feels lighter and almost as slim as stock.
UPDATE:
Seidio Customer Service RMA'd the battery door and sent out a replacement asap. The replacement snaps in perfectly!
DESIGN:
The battery door and the case both feel excellent, sturdier than the flimsy stock door and the case is a nice hard and just as thick material wise as the normal Surface case. Both the door and case have that nice soft/rubbery/grippy feel, definitely helps prevent the phone from slipping out of your hands. Also the way the door and case are designed(top and bottom are slim, then a slight curve our to cover the battery) it just sits in the palm of your hand perfectly. It feels "just right" weight wise. The case also provides enough of a lip in front of the screen to protect it if you put it face down. As with any of these types of cases though angles could mean something else though.
PRICE:
Now the price might put some people off. But I already about a Pt(Platinum) case from Best Buy when I bought my SGS3 which is essentially the Seidio Surface case with Holster. The battery door cost $15 + shipping, then a week later I purchased the case ($29.95) + shipping. You can get the case + holster for a little bit more, but the battery door as of now needs to be ordered separately. I spent about $50 all together ontop of the $15 I paid for my Hyperion Battery so your running into Otterbox territory price wise, but now you have a better case, a holster (if need be) and a bigger battery when your out.
Seidio Customer service said they do run promotions from time to time so you could luck out and save money on this package.
CS:
Probably one of the few times I had to call customer service for a case warranty, but they were very polite, answered very quickly and shipped out my replacement asap. They didn't require me to ship my broken one back to them either. They do require images of the product showing the defective areas.
I have attached screenshots to this post of the case, which snaps over the Seidio battery door. You cannot use this case unless you are using the battery door from Seidio as its molded in the same fashion. The battery door screenshots are further down in this thread(still working on combining them into this first post).
The Battery door can fit over the following battery sizes:
3500 mah
4000 mah
4200 mah
4400 mah
I do not think the 4600+ mah batteries will work as they are too thick/tall.
This is a really good backdoor option for those of us running extended batteries.
Pics?
I'll have em up shortly!

Attached, you can see in one of the photos that the corner by the power button isn't flush(clip was broken on that corner). I am really hoping Seidio comes through, I heard their CS is top notch and i have never had issues with their other cases from the iPhone 4.
Looks good...did they get back to you about a replacement back door?
How much was the shipping cost?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Didn't get back to me yet as they were closed on the weekend. Hoping to hear from them today. Shipping was usps $5.85
Need to mention that it just feels awesome using the phone with it, the back material is just great.

How do you order the battery door without the battery? I don't see it on their website.

You need to call Seidio Customer service.
Product Code: BVY35SSGS3-BK
Got a response from Seidio, doing an RMA (DOA) process. Not sure if I have to send this back in first or what not as the RMA team will respond once they get my information and pictures. I'll keep everyone updated and post pictures of the Extended Surface case when it comes in this week as well.
Mine also came broken. CS has been very helpful though
Did your replacement work better or still waiting on the RMA?

Looks nice but I have the white gs3, don't want my phone looking like an oreo cookie lol

Is this case so far the only higher protection case available that supports extended batteries? I only know of this one and the cases from hyperion and qcell. I got the qcell case on the hyperion battery but want something more rugged, dont like the slippery feeling.
I have a white sgs3 as shown and like the StormTrooper look lol. The Surface Extended case(still waiting to receive it) is essentialy the Surface Case which is great(have it for stock battery). It let's you use the Seidio Holster it came with. You can use the same holster with the Hyperion battery door and honeycomb tpu if you bought it.
I prefer the slimmer profile and feel of this battery door. Also it is sturdier than the Hyperion which has cracked on me by the charging port

I had issues with my hyperion door(s). the first one was cracked on the side, they sent me a new one, the second was also cracked (this time by the ear phone plug) they sent me a third... the third is good to go.
they have great CS... but this seido just looks sexier.
Both nexii in my house are using this huge battery but all we have so far is tpu. Is there anything a bit more...........secure at a reasonable price?
Would also like to hear about what others are using. Recently picked up a 3800 and using a Hyperion TPU.
Was wondering how a bumper case would work.
Was thinking about this aluminum case: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Aluminu...474?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35c2a6a79a
Being that its just around the side I don't think it would hinder reception much. If anyone could post some experience with it that be great, or some good plastic bumpers.
Love my seidio case. Costed a bit (add about $17 shipping to korea!) but more reasonable than a busted screen when I intend on keeping this phone for at least 3 years. Feels good in the hand.
I retired the 3800mah battery after a year.. Using the 2000mah stock battery but still loving this case. Thank goodness for 4.3.
Can't post links as a new user.. search "galaxy nexus seidio active extended case" on amazon or somewhere
