Extended Batter Case.. anyone have these Seido Cases yet?

http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd2-hk4htmec.htm
here is what I was thinking...
If you could cut out a hole in the Innocase 2 Surface, then another hole for the Rugged " skin... would the Rugged "Skeleton? fit?

On the first one you'll have to cut off the locking mechanism to the case. You wont be able to securely snap it on. Assuming the locking mec is in the middle of the two pieces. The second one will require you to cut off everything above the kickstand so the bottom half will not have be attached to the two top corner. I'll just fall off.

I do not see why you would have to cut the sides at all, the beck extends out, not the sides.

I considered doing this with my Incredible but never pulled the trigger. I thought it might be possible. I didn't have the extended battery to try it out.

Agreed.
Are you sure you have to do cutting?

No doubt seidio will come along with their case that fits their 3500mAh battery. Honestly I don't want an even larger battery adding bulk, the 2750mAh is fine.
I did contact HTCPeida shop and they replied back that they are working on a case for the ThunderBolt with extended battery. Of course they did say "it will take some time, but check back often". In the word of offshore manufacturing and low costs in china how hard can it be to get a TPU case with an opening in the back. Not that hard or so it seems it is.
Here is the seidio Evo 4G case http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd4-hkr5hev4x.htm

I bought the seido case that comes with all the piecesi linked (three total). It fits decently without the first layer, the camera flap has tobe removed or flipped under the rubber layer, and the kick stand is a bit difficult to use.

I emailed Seidio about their 3500mAh battery and of cases that would fit it. All I got was the typical reply, we do plan on offering it, but we do not have an eta at this time.

I would not buy the Seidio Battery. They get very bad reviews and I have sent two back.
You are better off with the original HTC Extended battery.

I had a post about this...
But I do hope Seidio does make this for the TB:

Will this fit on our phones? If so, Ill order that rather than trusting my hopefully steady handed cousin to do some dremel cutting. lol.

No. Look at the design of the extended cover, theirs is full and not just a little bump

I posted this else where but I figured it was relevant info to share here.
So, Ive been buggin the crap out of Seido with requests for them to make an extended case. Ive emailed them, dropped in on their thread here, and posted on their facebook. Today they responded to my FB post with this.
"Seidio commented on their Wall post.
Seidio wrote: "Hey, we're developing a rugged case for the thunderbolt. Let me get back to you later this week on extended cases for Surface and Active!""
Received this seconds ago:
"Seidio I got more accurate information for you. We are releasing a SURFACE extended and ACTIVE extended for use with the OEM extended battery for the Thunderbolt. You can sign up to [email protected] and we'll let you know when it releases!"

haha you just liked my comment LOL!

lol. So did Seido...lol

well heres hoping it releases soon because I am kind of concerned about the durability of my thunderbolt. also, my extended battery cover doesn't fit as flush as it would like. I wonder if I got a defective cover? go sharks!

Well, supposedly theres another one also coming out, and if they dont theres always doing the Frankencase.
Im thinking that the first batch of those covers sucked. Ive heard a lot about that but mine fits PERFECT even after I dropped my phone. My screen however cracked and pushes the need for one of these cases.

you cracked the screen? dang... i gotta be careful with mine. i assume your phone is still usable though?

Thats the only one I found as well. Was hoping to find a TPU one.
There was one custom one floating around which I saw on ebay, but i read that it covers the front camera, and some people had problems pressing the buttons.

Tpu case on moretalktime.com free shipping. New one coming out with larger openings on April 20±.

I have a silicon case that I am planning to make two cuts in with a razor which will fit over the extended battery. If only I ever used my extended battery...

The seidio big rugged yada yada yada case works with the chinese extended batteries you just leave the back off your phone. The camera is exposed but its always exposed and the case sits close enough that the battery doesn't fall out.

P.s. its not really called the yada yada yada I just don't remember its exact name. It comes in four pieces: back, skin, part that snaps over/around skin, and holster. I know thats a lot of technical terms but it gives you the idea.

I just bought this yesterday and seemed to be the best price for what you get. The only thing is that they shipped the 80 something cents screen protectors first WTF. I wanted the 80 something dollars worth of cases first. lol Still feel good about this investment.

You can modify the ballistic hc to fit the extended batteries, theres a thread around here somewhere.

yes that's the moretalktime.com one, version 2 is due out in 2 weeks. he has fixed the camera issue on the first batch using a hole punch.

I modified the Ballist HC but its a lot of work and you risk damaging it. Also I have the Seidio ext rugged and like it. Its built better than the standard rugged and I don't have a problem using the notifications menu bar like I do with the Ballistic. I don't care for the Seidio holster though. Rick

I modified my ballistic as well but the sanding and grinding was more complicated than I thought so I just cut a hole in the back to fit the battery door and I can use my stock kickstand and it looks good with the silicon/ rubber case on top of it. I prefer the seidio locking clip to the ballistic, it gives me more security when I lock the phone in it, I wish the ballist had this.

My issue with the seidio holster is if you have a jacket etc. on it gets caught on the top clip of the holster. Hey there's another reason to move to a warm climate, ha-ha
P.S. good idea with cutting through the back, that would allow me to use the 3500 battery instead of the sprint 2600

[Q] Where to get an extended battery COVER

Does anyone know where i can find an extended battery cover similar to the one by seidio for my evo? I have an extended battery from amazon with the big cover and honestly i dont like it... seems like it isnt made for my evo. I just feel like the angle that it pops out of the back makes it look and feel awkward, and i especially hate the 4 bumps on the corners above the battery. Sometimes i have to push on the corners of the cover because i dont want dust geting in, and i feel like the added space other than the battery area is really unnecessary. So if it's possible, i would really love an extended battery back like the seidio one, preferably in a different cover(that would be fresh ), if anyone can help me find one!

Because the extended batteries all seem to have such different battery door covers, it's hard to say. I have been checking (and hoping) for seidio to make colored covers for the Evo for myself. The closest thing I found was on eBay. So try there for cases if you haven't already!
Good luck.
edited....i think I misunderstood your first post. If you are looking for the battery cover door though, ebay will probably still be your best bet.

I have an extra seidio one i can sell you, its marked up slightly though, and one prong is missing i believe, connects fine and is not loose at all

how much you selling it for

If I was you I would take his offer if its within reason. I actually bought my seido from the factory store online and broke a prong off mine accidentally and looked everywhere for just the door alone. Now this could have very easily changed but as of before xmas? Seido themselves did not sell the door alone much less best buy or amazon etc. You can find a replacement flat standard door pretty easy, but one for the extended seido? I had tough time. I actually got them to send me one no charge, but I had just spent like 200 bucks with them so.....gl

The Sedio cover won't fit the Amazon battery.

Yes it will and make me an offer on the door its an official seidio

Seidio Extended back door and case review. - REVISED

--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?

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.

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

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

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.

Looking for a good combo rubber case/clip holster/kickstand...

My phone is the Verizon Galaxy Nexus i515 and I've had the red Seidio cover for a long time. It came with a clip holster but the clip broke after 2 days. Got another holster and it broke again in 6 days. This was just from slight/small snags.
Basically I'm looking for something that can hold up against small snags. Also has all 3 combo (good rubber case/kickstand/clip holster).
This is something I'm looking for... only downside to this one is it doesn't come with a clip holsters. There's no indication, even on "what else user's bought after buying this", whether any clip holster will fit this particular brand. Link below...
http://www.amazon.com/Amzer-AMZ94208-Hybrid-Kickstand-Samsung/dp/B008B5DUT4/ref=pd_sim_cps_2
I like the thickness of it and how it has small covers for the USB port and headphone jack. It also has the kickstand.
Does anybody have this particular one and have a clip holster with it? If you do, which one fits with this brand? If not, is there anything exactly like the link above with all 3 combo?

You could try the Trident Kraken A.M.S. case. It comes with a belt clip. Its around $20 on Amazon.

Probably not. These are for stock only. I think I saw a Seidio case awhile back that had options to accommodate a bigger battery door. Seidio and Trident are my 2 preferred cases but I've never looked into one for bigger batteries cause I've never had an extended battery before.
You could type stuff like Trident Kraken case for extended battery. Same with Seidio.

I don't know how the kraken is, but my wife and I both have Trident's Aegis cases for our Sprint Galaxy Nexi and they fit good, even with the 2100maH battery.

It looks like the Aegis isn't a holster case.

The Kraken case is really good. Its encasing my Gnex right now. Provides ultimate protection and with military grade screen protector. Only issue with it
Is that its a pain in the arse to take apart when I have to do battery pulls sometime when flashing ROMs. I have no complaint about the rest of it.

I think with a better wording for what you're looking for is making it harder to find one. I know some products require specific wording in the search in order for it to show up. I was hoping that link would get you somewhere. I'll help you look for something when I get home from work.
You could also start a thread, if you haven't yet, and see if anyone bought what you're looking for and can point you to where they got it from.
Are you looking for a similar combo like mine (kickstand, holster, hard/rubber casing)?
