[Q] Case for Extended Battery

I'm wondering what case people are using with extended batteries. My buddy bought this battery. It is working well for him, so I was going to order one. However I need to have a case that is going to protect my Evo. I'm currently using the Otterbox Commuter and would prefer one that offers similar protection. Any help is appreciated.

I don't use a case. I just use the screen protector. Granted, I don't have any kids around, so it's just more taking care not to drop it on concrete or something.

I just ordered the Trident Electra case which comes with a 2800 mAh battery:

Seidio also has cases for the extended battery:

If you do a quick search on eBay and Amazon, there's also a few silicone and TPU cases out there too.
Hope this helps!

Search for "case" in reviews.

I second the trident case. great case. Comes with a hard protective shell that has a built in screen protector and a rubber bumper in a variety of colors.

any thin case reccommendations?

seidio case
Seidio cases are the best.

Would you guys recommend the seidio extended case and battery over the Trident extended case and battery?
And why?
Edit: NM, I'll figure it out

I prefer the trident case over seidio for the simple reason that seidio, customer support stinks.

The moretalktime.com website has a tpu case that works with a 3500mA battery

I got the seidio extended rugged case and I couldn't be happier

cases w/ extended battery

Anyone know which cases are confirmed to fit the extended battery?

Otterbox Defender series works great one mine.

Are there any cases that don't double the bulk of the phone that will fit correctly? Maybe a TPU case?

I got the Incipio Sycrillic case with mine. The extended battery doesn't really add that much bulk so the case still fits.

How much longer would the battery last? About double or so I would guess?

The extended battery is 2100 mAh, so it should give about 25% - 30% more usage time. The battery adds hardly any bulk to the device. It fits with the Otterbox Defender series (a tight fit but it works), any silicone case, and the Incipio Double Cover that Verizon sells. It does not fit with Verizon's Shell Holster Combo (with the kick stand).

25%-30%?
I think it's more like 13-14%%
25% of 1850mAH is 462mAH (so 2312mAH total) and this is only 2100mAH...
Supposedly the TPU cases still work on this.

I'm looking for one of those barely-there TPU cases for the GN. It's too thin and the extended battery doesn't even thicken it up, plus its slippery.

ebay
im pretty sure ebay will have them for like 5 or 6 dollars.. thats where i normally get my external wall chargers from they get the job done

How do you like the Incipio Case? Does it add alot of bulk? Does it add alot of weight?

Barely there is by Casemate, TPU is a company now named Ditztronic. Or, does Casemate Barely There use TPU (the material) as a case.
I read a review about the Barely There that siad it doesn't actually cover the whole phone, so if you drop it on the bottom, there is no protection. That was deal breaker.

What about the commuter series? My defender is too bulky

This sucks... one major reason for buying the phone was due to it's lightweight thin build.. and I can't really seem to find a case that leaves the phone thin and light..
I really like the Verizon shell/holster combo but it doesn't fit the extended battery

Fuhhh.. are you serious? I ordered the extended battery hoping that it would fit the shell/holster set. I like it because it's simple and has a kickstand that I want to use. So the shell doesn't snap onto the gnex?

Correct.. just barely doesn't fit. That's exactly why I like it.. not too thick and it has the kickstand if I need it

Thanks.. i guess i'll sell this and find another case..

I like the trident cases personally. I know that they are going to be releasing one mid january, but do you guys think that with the extended it will fit?

So the incipio feather case wont fit with the extended battery? I had imagined the 1-2mm would make it a tighter fit but the impact would be negligible - can someone confirm that with the extended battery it indeed wont fit?

CaseMate barely there fits fine with the extended battery. The incipio silicrylic fits, but has a slight gap at the sides where the hard plastic fits over the silicone.

Why don't you get a skin? They're tricky to put on and really only offer scratch protection, but probably better than nothing.

Are There Metal Bumper Which Will Fit Extended Battery Casing

Dear all,
Now I am using Cameron Sino Extended Battery 5000 mah which has very bulky back cover size. Are there any metal bumper which will fit with that?
Thank you for your suggestion.

Check out my earlier thread. I have both the Mugen extended battery and cover and it fits with the SLZF metal bumper.

Thank you very much. But will any metal bumper will fit to hold extended battery cover, or is it just for SLZF metal bumper? Because in my country, only there are anymode metal bumper.

Sorry to hijack your thread, but can you tell me how thick your Note is with the cameronsino battery and cover in place. My ebay purchased (not Cameronsino) 5000mah battery and cover measures 19mm including the Note and according to Cameronsino's website, theirs is 14mm including the Note can you confirm this? Many thanks.

agree
the whole setup looks nice
never considered extended battery until looking at this

Anyone have this case?

Anyone have this case http://www.tridentcase.com/shop-products/samsung-galaxy-nexus/aegis-case-samsung-galaxy-nexus.aspx and/or know if it will fit a 3800 mAh extended battery. I know the seidio cases work fine but I love trident cases and want to use an extended battery.
Thanks

I have this case and it fits my Sprint gnex with 2100mah extended battery well but I don't think it could fit anything much thicker than that.

The Seidio extended Convert Combo works quite well with the GNex and a3800 mah battery (I have the Hyperion).
... beamed from my Nexus 10 to your planet

I used that case on my evo 3d. It was nice, but the hard plastic outer shell was kind of slippery. I had to scuff it with some sand paper, to give it some grip. It was also a pain to put on. Since the n4 doesn't have a removable battery/storage, you won't need to take it on/off much, so it should be a good case.
Edit : I thought I was in the n4 forum when I posted this... I don't think I would get this case for any phone with a removable back plate

Case compatible with 3000 mAh official battery

I have a Galaxy S3 (i747) with the new Samsung branded 3000 mAh battery, but I need a case. The Otterboxes do not fit, and IDK if the Incipio will (I had incipio before my old GS3 was lost). Which cases will definitely fit this new size?

Seidio Active
By leaving the back cover off the phone this one will fit. It has a hard plastic outer shield for the back so it offers plenty of protection. Works for me until a made to order case comes out. I had the kickstand model first. I think it sucks. Would not hold the phone vertical, was ugly and it bulged too much. That be my opinion.

nothing else?
i have the same problem.. someone solved it?
are not there any case for the original 3000 battery ?

Unfotunatly to italy is not possible to recive from their store
thanks for the info ill' call my london friend.

I have this battery + the Diztronic. The case fits perfectly and is very well done. It is available via Amazon or through the Diztronic site.
There is a long thread about this battery here but you have to go through the entire thread to find the cases that work. Mentioned as cases that fit: the Zoogue Social, the Eclipse, the Case-Mate Emerge Smooth, the Urban Armor Gear case (if you do not use the included battery door), and the "fake Spigen Neo Hybrids" from sunsky. Others have modded the Otterbox Commuter and the Invero Hard Plastic Bumper case (from amazon UK).
I have ordered some cheapo silicon cases that I hope are stretchy enough to work with the extended battery as I would like some more colorful options.

Anyone know which case this is?
