Anyone found a decent case that fits with the extended battery?

**freeky1** · 09-13-2011, 07:04 PM

I have seen that ugly, horrendous case that Verizon is selling. I think it's called the Shell/Holster Combo. It is terrible looking. I would really like something a little more professional looking. Anyone?

Thats the one I got and I actually like it. I don't use the holster but it fits good in the hand, it has a decent kick stand and I got 50%. Plus it's suppose to fit in most docks where you can take the insert out.

Is the case rubber or hard plastic?

I like it too. It's hard plastic. I'm sure more options will come later.

Yeah there will be many more in the future... I'm sure that the manufacturers wanted to wait till this was official before making cases since they got burned with the cases they made for the original Bionic

I got the Verizon leather case. Has a swivel clip too. Fits extended battery OK.

The shell and holster combo is great.

Hard plastic. I didn't think I would like it at first but it has grown on me.

I love my shell/holster as well.

Exactly how I feel. If liked a leather case to wear to work but this case works until something better comes along.

I agree, it's the best one out there (maybe the only one?)...the shi**y thing about it is it doesn't fit in the lapdock. You have to remove the shell to fit it in the connectors. It does work with the HDMI dock and the cardock though.
Edit: I am talking about the extended battery Motorola Holster/Shell combo...

**forsaken82** · 09-14-2011, 08:01 AM

it is the only one that works right now. i wish there was a heavier duty case available since i use my phone for music and gps on my motorcycle.

I have the Otterbox Rugged case and its great... But it doesn't fit the extended battery and doesn't fit in any of the docks.

Amazon.com: Nite Ize CCSL-03-01 Clip Case Sideways - Retail Packaging - Black: Cell Phones & Accessories This Nite Ize case fits it well. I used the smaller size for my OG Droid for 18 months and it worked well. Very durable

The leather case from verizon fits the Bionic with or without the extended battery well. Easy to clip on belt and remove with one hand action. Android Central has it on sale!!

Can anyone confirm 100% that the shell holster case with extended batter fits in the moto car dock? If so I am gonna go buy one tomorrow!!!

**CobbFC09** · 09-16-2011, 01:19 AM

That is the case you guys are talking about correct? If so, is it really worth it?

Worth it? I'd say no, is it the only option for an actual case right now....yes.

I am thinking about getting this. I have a leather holster but it is a hassle to pull the phone out.

Is the interior soft? or will it scuff up the phone?
Is it a really tight fit? Do you have to force the phone in or does it slide in easy?
Is it easy to pull the phone out?
Are you happy with how it works with the Bionic?

I went back into the Verizon Wireless store again yesterday to look at that Shell/Holster Combo case again, and I just could not bring myself to spend my money on that thing. As bad as I hate to say it, Apple would never make something that ugly for one of their devices!
