Hello all, as you know the sgs2 looks pretty sweet without a cover and i was wondering if anyone knew of alternative back covers are sold. Basically when you lay a naked sgs2 down you risk scratching the camera lens. Can we purchase a thicker battery cover? Or even a padded one? Just as a different choice to buying a case to cover the entire phone.
Look forward to your replies!

if you buy the official 2000mah battery, it comes with a new battery case and because the battery is thicker, the back cover extends out by a couple millimeters covering the camera

Are there any known cases that fit with this battery in place?

Where did you find a battery that big for the X because that is awesome. Getting back to your question I think you might have to custom make one.

Even though this is dated( ), I thought I'd throw this out there for anyone else interested, the Trident Electra will fit an extended battery (and most kits will actually come with an included battery.) I've got one for my droid x2 and while the case is quite thick (about 2x thickness of a normal Dx/dx2) it is a BEAST. I really like the combination of the hard shell interior and silicone exterior, and I've even accidentally tested the durability by leaving my phone on top of my car after getting gas. Phone fell off as I was driving down the street and all it did was scuff the silicone a bit on one corner. Definitely worth the investment IMO, but I would try to get a case on Amazon or equivalent as Trident wants 80 bucks new! You can find it for half that elsewhere!
This is sort of reaching, but I wonder if I could apply heat to the back of a generic TPU case so that it would stretch enough to fit over the phone with the extended battery cover installed . I would leave the battery out when doing this to protect it from the heat .
buy a silicone one and cut the backing out and glue it on the back of the battery holder. Simple
Quick question? Do they sell different color/ design hard battery covers that would replace the stock battery cover? I am not looking for a protective case. When I try to search for one it always thinks I'm asking for a skin/cover. Thanks.
Not that I have seen. Best I've seen so far is a replacement battery cover, so if you wanted to hack yours up, you could.
Just wondering if there's any cases that fit this phone when it has an extended battery on.
If not, is ghost-armor coating really worth it? I need to protect the corners of my phone, since I've dropped it once without a case, and the corners are already all scratched.
just in case
I've put a extended battery and back on mine using the same silicone case. the 2 piece hard case is modified to work by cutting a square on the back of case to fit over new back. takes a little time with sharp knife but works well. hope this helps.

What case exactly?
I just received this silicone case (a steal at $1.56 + less than a dollar shipping) and like it very much.
It does not, however, fit over the extended battery. I haven't tried altering it, but I may buy another for experimentation.

I too am curious which silicone case fits over the extended battery. But for now, I'm enjoying the new, grippy case along with a new, standard-sized Anker 1550 mah battery.
WHAT FITS
ant hard case will fit when the back part has square cut out with sharp knife, I just use regular silicone case and stretch it over extended battery. works well for me
I have that case, its an extremely snug fit, it wouldnt look very good...

looks good is in the eye of the beholder[sic] ina holster doesnt matter and out of it looks good to me. tried to find a different case for extended batt but none available,so used a knife and satisfied.
Silicone or tpu case without the new back piece works great. Using the battery bare saved me space.
I tried looking for a case myself. Seems like I've tested them all lol. But I have yet to find one that actually fits.
The silicone looks horrendous with it and that's the one I happen to like the most
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 just bought a Note II on ebay and it comes with those OEM samsung battery door with attached leather flip cover.... no standard battery cover
Would it look awful if I just cut out the leather part?
Has anyone else done this?
I want to cut it so that i can slip on another cover I bought, which obviously wont fit the phone if the leather part is still attached
You can buy a battery door for like $10 on ebay
Cutting the leather off will not really work. The back is slightly shaped different to hold the leather and back together so a case wouldn't fit.

If you slip another TPU type cover, it will work fine. I have the Samsung flip cover with a Mercury TPU over the whole thing and they fit fine. The only issue is that I needed to cut the flip cover side of the TPU cover to accomodate the flip to work. So I basically did the reverse of what the OP is intending to do.
Once you cut the flip cover off, you will have an odd looking side but with the extra cover, it should be completely covered...
On the other hand, I would also suggest buying a new back cover and do away with all this cutting and modding cover non-sense...
