I was wondering what people have been using for a case or holster and case for the extended battery I bought one and can barley find anything on eBay or Google about cases and holster for the extended battery evos. What you people using? I am using a ballistic case with my crappy stock battery it must be a defective battery dies quickly lol or cause I'm on it all the time. I read somewhere a guy got a extended battery to fit in his ballistic case lots of customization but he did it lol anyone used stealth screen protecters? Thanks
Hi I just want to share my findings on a slim cover and mod it for the extended battery. I have tried the otterbox impact cover and i didnt like it its too bulky for me and so rubbery. I just want to maintain the slim profile of my captivate and have protection from scratches. I found one case on ebay and tried to mod it heres the link of the case http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mesh-Hole-H...&otn=1&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=2739256548890032791 and below the posted pictures of the mod case
Hey that really looks desent for a big battery like this. I think I will try this one as well. I´m tired of constantly charging my cappy.
Did you modified that casing by yourself? or does it come from the retail like that?
It is not apparent from the pictures (to me) how you modded the case to fit. Did you just cut a hole for the battery and the remaining case had enough structure to stay on the phone?
Why not buy a case that you don't have to mod...that is custom made for the extended battery? There is a seller on eBay (moretalktime) who sells custom TPU cases for a lot of phones including the captivate with the 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
May have to risk going naked

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.
I am looking for an extended battery that has a case similar to the Otterbox Cases. I looked into Trident cases, but their extended life battery is weaker than my stock battery (Electro case is 2000mHa, my stock is 2100mHa)
Any suggestions?
I'm looking for 2300mAh or greater. It must have an otterbox-like case though.
Also I am not interested in hacking apart my current otterbox case to fit them.
Has anyone found a battery case that fits the s20FE? The latest sale makes this phone very tempting.
Interested as well
