Best Case with Extended Battery

I just got the Otterbox Commuter and have the extended battery. It fits perfectly, I love Otterbox !!!!
 
Just popped my extended battery on and phone fits perfect in my diztronic case that I bought on amazon as well as the Verizon silicone cover I purchased. The extended battery really adds minimal thickness to the phone hopefully that doesn't equate to minimal increase in battery life as well!
 
i have the see-thru diztronic tpu case. I took off the back cover so it fits better and i gotta say, it actually looks cool. lol I can see the battery and sim card slot through the phone.

I have the Seidio Surface case. Fits like a glove with the regular battery. I popped in the extended battery and door and then tried the Seidio. It will click together, but the bottom wants to pop open from the extra thickness. :( So I just removed the battery door and put the Seidio back on. The Seidio fits tight enough to keep the battery snug and free of debris (so far).
 
Some people on Amazon have reviewed the Case-Mate Pop! saying that the cutout for the power cable is too small. Is that true in your experience roklobster?

Yes that is a problem but I have another charger from my HTC Sensation that fits fine so I am not overly concerned with it.

Dang, I have a Seidio Surface on the way (and I have the extended battery). Are you going to get a different case?
 
I posted on Incipio's Facebook page that there would be a big demand for a feather case that was designed to fit LTE Extended Battery for this phone.


If enough people post it on there maybe that will push them do it?

Don't flame me for being hopeful please, lol.


I just think that with so many people saying how great the feel of the phone is with the extended battery (and it is), that a case that was made to fit it would make the phone perfect.

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect that someone will come out with an extended battery case at some point, however: a) the overwhelming majority of companies historically haven't bothered with extended battery cases, and b) many popular cases seem to fit the GN w/extended battery with no modification, which means companies now have even less motivation to create a separate case.

I think the only thing that might sway companies right now is that the GN is extremely popular, but it's going to need to stay popular for a while for it to really push them.
 
Just got the Case-Mate Pop! case. Fits PERFECTLY with the extended battery (including the back cover). I am very happy with the quality, and apparent sturdiness of the case.

Also, the cut-out for the power cable is NOT too small for the stock Verizon one. Maybe those early units were defective.

Oh and, the case can be found in many places in black despite the color not being listed on Case-Mate's site.
 
The Case-Mat Pop no longer shows up on their website. I wonder if they've decided to take it offline until they redesign the USB connection cutout.
 
I use the verizon shell/holster combo, and when i use the extended battery i just leave the battery cover off. Not an ideal solution, but it's the only case i like.

I use the extended battery with the original cover (it fits on nicely). I also use the VZW shell/holster combo. I just use the shell part and I love it. The phone fits into the shell with the extended battery with original cover mostly (small portion of the device doesn't snap all the way in, but the phone still is in there securely). I love how this shell feels and the kickstand.
 
I have the Verizon case and holster. I took off the back cover. The phone fits perfect. It's solid with no creaks or give. I put a zagg shield on the front. Now im perfect. lol

It does work well without the cover.
 
+1 using the extended battery without the cover on the back. Fits in the basic vzw kickstand case/belt clip like a charm.
