Case for extended battery

I searched on bay, google, and different forums but didn't find anything. Are there any cases/skins for the phone that fit with the OEM extended battery? I bought a case thinking I wasn't going to buy the extended battery, but ended up buying it so now I need a different case. Any suggestions, links, anything? Thanks!

I am in the same situation as you! I think I am out $24

me too. i bought the extended battery n me not thinking from being excited about the TB, i didnt realize the phone with the extended battery was not gonna fit the case i bought for it

Grab a nice silicone case and a razor-blade. Done deal.

I know we can go the exacto knife route but why the hell isn't HTC selling an OEM case to fit their Extd Battery. Clearly their is a need.

I didn't buy a case for the standard battery, but I did buy the extended battery. I'm pretty ham-handed; I had a hard enough time getting the case off the back of the unit (needed a flat-headed screwdriver!) that I don't think I'd be able to manually construct a case using an exacto-knife. And I'm glad they installed my screen protector for me at the Verizon kiosk, because I always seem to get some bubbles underneath it... they did it perfectly!
I think I could install the case if it were pre-made to fit the extended battery. I'll keep an eye out to see if any stores come up with a case to fit the HTC extended battery.

Yeah I don't get why HTC didn't make one for day one of the release. They don't even have the multimedia dock for sale yet. This is really bad on HTC's end, with the delay and all too. I mean come on, you wan't people to build brand loyalty and you treat people that are new to your brand like this????

On my DINC I have the extended battery and I cut out a rubber case to make like a bumper guard. I only cut out the area sticking out.
They need to make a case that makes the bigger battery flush in the back or I am just keeping the DINC. I know on the EVO you can get a larger battery and have a flush back.
Why does Verizon HTC's have to be so ugly with the bigger battery.

I will likely get me an exacto knife but I will have to order a few cheap silicone cases of ebay for the surgery. There is no way I am going to slice into one that costs $20 when I can spend $3 on ebay.

Can't do the exacto knife trick. The kickstand gets in the way.

Guys, we had to wait months for the extended battery to be released for evo. Almost one year later and still no official extended battery case, but there are 3 unofficial ones that all suck.

Kickstand cases

Greetings all -
I have the VZW extended battery SGN and I'm looking for a case that provides a little bit of shock protection, fits on the extended battery and has a kickstand. Coming from the Thunderbolt this phone is a breath of fresh air in regards to weight and size, so I want to keep that part intact. The Verizon kickstand holster from what I hear doesn't really provide very much in terms of protection and doesn't fit well on the extended battery.
I've searched threads and most cases seem too bulky or no kickstand..can anyone point me in the right direction?

I'm with you, coming from the tbolt I really need a kickstand. I bought the VZW one and still using the OEM battery. Nice thing about the case I think it's the only one to allow portrait and landscape.

I bought the otter box case from verizon on sat and will be returning it tomorrow. It is a nice case, protects the phone and allows portrait and landscape.
My only problems are lint(its a magnet for pocket lint), form factor(its tank like) and the built in screen protector(gives the screen a grainy look).

Still nothing available? Man the kickstand is incredibly useful when I am out eating lunch.

yeah I use it when eating lunch at work too =o. Just using verizon holster without extended until something better comes around...what a wasted extended batt!

So does the seidio active with kick stand not work with the battery? Id love to order it but its a bit pricey if it doesn't work.

I too was looking for a nice case with kickstand but Verizon only offers one and it looks sh!tty. I bought myself a couple of these small phone stands: one for work desk and another in my car in case I wanna watch something in the restaurant during lunch. They're pretty small and compact when clipped in.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400266244836

I second the Seidio Active. It apparently has a cutout in the silicon layer beneath the kickstand that allows it to accommodate the extended battery. Look for Asianrage's posts in the case sticky for pictures of the Seidio Active with the extended battery.

I was looking at those too. I ended up going with a gogostand. Check out this thread:

Its extremely portable and works well.
- GSM Galaxy Nexus

So, i broke down and ordered the seidio and it doesn't fit real well with the verizon extended battery, but if you take the plastic cover off of the back off the phone it fits perfectly and you can't tell the back is off. Its no thunderbolt kick stand though that's for sure. The angle is steeper and of course its wont do portrait mode.
Overall I like it. Its built well but the power button is a bit hard and if you have a dock that uses the 3 pin connectors they are covered up.

Did you try to massage the silicone with the back applied? Work the corners and readjust the sides. That's the only thing you have to do. The initial fitting was disappointing for me, so I used the system without the battery cover, but decided to give it a second chance after a few days. Have you seen the pictures that I posted in the link above? That's my phone with the extended battery and cover encased in the Active.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405890&page=9
The kickstand reclines too far back compared to the Bolt, given how short the leg is.
And I doubt that there will be any 3-pin dock that would support any cased SGN.

Oh sweet I hadn't seen that post, I'll try wrestling with it again.

Well after trying again with the back plate on the phone I'm going to stick with my original recommendation. For me, the the fit is much better with the battery cover plate off.

RingkeSlim case-Original & LTE Comparison photos

Got my revised Ringke Slim case today.
Here are comparison pics of the original Ringke Slim vs the revised Ringke Slim
This is on my LTE gNex, extended battery with the battery door removed.
Note how the top end of the phone does not go all the way into the case as it's meant to.

Here is the New version meant for LTE with extended battery+battery door ON
The GSM version on my LTE phone was really nice... although it did just start developing cracks(known issue) because of the stress from the impropper fit
This new version fits perfect. It adds a hair of thickness since the hump that contours to the stock battery door hump is now filled in.
It can be seen here
Hope this helps some of you out

Is there a reason you're not using the battery door in the new case?
Thanks for the pics!

No prob.

Nice photos. Still wish the case at least offers some form of protection for placing the phone face down.
Guess I will stick to my Ultra Hybrid.

great pictures for comparison. can you tell me how it looks and fits with the standard battery on? if it's not too much trouble, maybe just one picture. if not, it's ok; words are fine. thank you very much.

Thanks for pointing it out coz I was comparing it with the photos of the old case. The new one does go up all the way to the edge of the screen.
I'm probably gonna order one soon after figuring this out

Recieved mine today to, fits so nice. 1st case that is going to make me ditch my Diztronic 3rd gen for.

Got mine today, LOVE it.

The new case will protect the front. The top and bottom portions of the case create a small lip so while face down, everything would be resting on those lips and the phone would be protected. Just the sides are open.
Perfect fit. My new case. The trusty diztronic v3 is now officially off duty.
The only downside is my pogo pings are halfway covered. I'm fine with them covered but they shoulda either left them exposed or fully concealed. The case literally covers half of each pin.

I tried the OEM smaller battery with the cover and there's really no difference. You might be able to push the back of the case in a little but the fit is still good.

This bothers me too. My concern is when (if ) we ever get a legit car dock, how that'll effect the connection. If there's an issue I won't let it be a deal breaker. I'll hit it with a dremel to make it work

I bought the white, but after seeing these photos, I may have to go and pick up a black case too.

Any chance of some pictures of the case as it fits in the holster?
When you say "pretty good" -- is it wobbly, snug, other?
Also: how does the Ringke case do with the Seidio clip at the top of the holster? Can you pop the phone in/out of the holster with one hand, without the clip damaging the Ringke case? Also wondering if the clip will wind up scratching the case... any thoughts?
Jon

I got the metallic one as people said it most closely matched the actual phone. It's pretty close. Just a little bit darker. I wish it wasn't so glossy though - seems like it will scratch up. I might have to go with the matte black instead. Still looks pretty good I think.
Sorry for the quality of the shots, I'm no photographer.

Review: Seidio 3500mAh Super Extended Life Battery and Surface Extended Combo

Thanks for checking out my review. I have a lot more bigger pictures of this set up on my blog.
http://chrismchoi.blogspot.com/
Please check it out. Just getting it started. Please hit thanks if you find this informative or helpful and I will keep trying to review products for you guys.
We've all fallen in love with our Galaxy S III. What would have made our phones better? Extended battery life. Thanks to Seidio, they've provided us with the solution. I was relieved to find that the rubberized back was an added bonus. There has been much interest in this finish due to the sleek design of the factory back.
If I ran the numbers right it, the battery has a 40% larger capacity while still maintaining the sleek design.
The total weight of the extended battery and case came out to 6.53 oz. Factory weight was 4.76 oz.

The SURFACE Extended case is the standard SURFACE case in the Seidio line up. Straight and to the point. It's the minimalist case. It covers up the corners. It's nice and thin.
Battery installed.
The hump in the back made the phone much easier to grip. The hump fell right into the palm of my hand. It didn't slide around like it did without it.
Fitment was dead on. I've been trying different back covers and the Seidio cover fits the best out of all the aftermarket covers I have tested. It's even all around without leaving any open gaps.
The SURFACE Extended case stays snug. You don't have to worry about the phone slipping out.
I was glad to see that Seidio took the time and made the case fit. You can see how accurate the openings are for the camera, speaker and flash.
The standard Seidio clip. Same as always. The top mechanism is still the same design we know and love. You never have to worry about it wearing down and cracking. It has the same spring design.
Conclusion
I'm in the wireless industry, so the the extra life is put to good use. The numbers do not lie. This is moderate use throughout the day. Maps was triggered by Google Now. I'm sure it would have last much longer without it. This would equate to almost 72 hours without a charge. I apologize I stopped at 49%. I will redo the test once I am settled back in. It's highly impressive from how it performed and I am content in this product.
MSRP: $69.95 for the Seidio Super Extended Battery available at the Seidio Online Store.
$49.95 for the SURFACE Extended Combo also available at the Seidio Online Store.
I definitely recommend this extended battery. Seidio has always been there for me when it comes in terms of quality and reliability. NFC compatible battery is available for around $5 more. I've had their extended batteries on my Blackberry's and my Evo. So I'm sure this won't be the last! Tomorrow I am participating in a 12+ hour event, I am confident I won't have to worry about a charge during that time. I'm looking forward to showing off my new battery.

Not something I would get but I'm sure it's great to have that much juice Thank you for the review.

It was moderate usage throughout the day. At the amount of time it was on... the %'s show. It's not like I'm gonna sit on Facebook 20 out of 50 hours. Sure I can do a stress test, but those numbers mean nothing when you don't know how it equates to real usage.
I'll see what I can do.

Interesting
I bought a 3300 mAh battery myself.
With stock battery, i got 6-7 hours of screen time with wifi on and pretty low brightness.
With my new battery i got over 16 hours of screen time with wifi on and brightness at maximum.
This is the GT I9300 with stock everything.

Nice review. Any specific reason you went with the Seidio over the Mugen?
I had a Mugen on my HTC G2 and it was fantastic. I never found myself frantically looking for a power outlet.

It's just too thick for my liking, I can't use some accessories with it

way too thick and ugly for me

had the seidio extended on my evo 4g.... straight love is all i can say.... considering the nfc ext for my s3 now....never tried mugen....actually jus heard of it... cheers

I say Mugen belongs on Hondas. I've always been a fan of Seidio cases and tried out their battery and it worked well for me. So I stuck with Seidio and didn't change.

It will not fit a honeycomb case correctly at all. the "bump" is lesser in width and length.. it will look like butt. (FYI)

can we get a length and width dimension of the "bump"?
and is the "nonbump" the same size as stock?

Otterbox Defender + Anker 7200mah

First I want to thank Liptus for daring to do what we all thought about-but didn't have the [email protected] to try. OP below
Otterbox Defender + Worlds largest 7000mah battery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2188013
So I tried the same with the Anker 4400 with great success, and satisfactory results.
Since it hasn't been done yet,
I will do the same with the Anker 7200 and see how it goes.
Fit and finish should be comparable to Liptus OP, except I will be using a razor knife. Here are pre-mod pictures. Will update when finished.

Okay,
So I finished it in about 40 minutes.
It was a bit harder to do then the first time. Mostly because the gaping hole in the middle and the smaller sides. I suspect a fresh mod will only take 20 minutes.

Fit and Finish......
So it fits nicely and looks roughly the same as the ZL mod. One thing I noticed and like more is not having to cut out a piece of the camera lens shroud. This is due to Anker positioning the battery offset lower.
There is still a small gap at the top near the lens, and the usual adjustments need to be made, ie- stretching the tpu to facilitate proper button use.
Additionally,
If you make the battery hole a smidge larger than actual, you can take out the battery- w/o disassembly of the entire case!
I will be using this 7200 in tandem with my 4400. When one is dead, the other will be juiced and ready on my external charger.
BTW, this 7200 is new and uncharged. I Will be running tests and side by side comparisons with the ZL7000 in my other thread.
If I've helped you, please hit the thanks button = )

Kudos for trying this, the rubber cover is not going to last long though. I've gone through tons of them already on the defender without any mods like this. The rubber eventually starts warping from going in and out of one's pocket.

Thanks Paradox,
My hope is that my using the Otterbox with the belt clip M-F, and switching over to the the Anker TPU for sat-Sun, will give me the solution I am looKing for.

My hope is that my using the Otterbox with the belt clip M-F, and switching over to the the Anker TPU for sat-Sun, will give me the solution I am looKing for.

Does the belt clip still work? If you don't mind adding a photo with that would be interesting, i'm assuming it works only if the screen is facing inward. If you give otter box a call they will send you extra rubber housings, I had to hassle them a lot but I managed to get a few extra since the case is known to warp...I wouldn't mention your "case mod" experiment though. I'm going to try out the case that comes with the Anker battery hopefully it is sufficient, I'm going to run without a screen protector as well for the first time since my HTC Tytn II so hopefully the gorilla glass is all it's cracked up to be.

The belt clip does still work, and as you guessed-only face in.
I will submit a picture in the am.
Thanks for the Otterbox info, I'm sure I will need it.
All the best,

I just got mine today! The case that comes with it is really fantastic feels extremely solid, I'm surprised you feel the need for the otterbox still.

I need the belt clip, if this had one-it would easily be my daily driver.

Pics.....
Paradox,
Sorry for the delay, I forgot you asked for pics. The belt clip still works, it is a bit trickier now that the phone is so fat. The bottom groove on the clip pushes against the battery. It still fits, but it needs extra effort to get it clipped in.
Hit the Thanks button if this helps.
