Re: I Found an Epic 4G Touch Extended Battery & Protective Case C
Trust me, they are not the same.
Trust me, they are not the same.
Calm down folks...there is a difference, but not a big enough difference to where the battery pack will not work. Here are the specs from Samsung's website directly.
- AT&T - Display size = 4.5"; Overall size = 5.15" x 2.75" x 0.37"
- Sprint Epic 4G Touch - Display size 4.52"; Overall size = 5.11" x 2.74" x 0.38"
As you can see, the overall size is different, but barely. The biggest determination on how well it fits will be the radius of the corners.
:'(
The battery probably will work, but the case WILL NOT. The camera is a different shape, the camera speaker and audio jack are in a different location, and there's one other small detail I forgot to mention. The led light is know a different location.

Unless you are talking about the LED Flash on the back, then you might be overlooking that this case does NOT cover the front. Maybe some of you didnt look at it well enough but it grasps the edges, which doesnt hinder the LED notification light, proximity sensor, earpiece, front camera, etc. I'd take a look at the pics from Amazon. And the Original Poster has already confirmed that it works well with the camera on back.

By the way, although I am new to this site (as well noted), I love the energy. Thanks for accepting my post and chiming in. I can't challenge all of the different arguments, all I know is that my case is in it, it fits perfectly, and it works perfectly. Out of all my research of looking for an option that would provide both an extended battery as well as protective case, this is the best yet. However, maybe in due season, they will sell a comparably case specifically stated to work for the Epic 4G touch (to put the minds of those that may be skeptical at rest). Nevertheless, I returned my Seidio extended battery today and could not be more pleased.
By the way, interestingly enough, whereas I was getting an extra 4-5 hours out of my Seidio extended battery, today I notice I got an extra 6-7 hours out of this case. But that may be the exception and not the rule. Either way, If this case helps one person (who was as desperate as I am to find a feasible extended battery/protective case solution), then this post would have been worth it.
Again, thanks for your energy!!!
