Which Cases Fit With the Extended Battery?
- I'm interested in knowing this as well since I eat thru my battery. Avg life is 5hrs.

- Please post if you have actually tried a case with the extended battery.
I have the Verizon case pictured in the link below and it does fit well with the extended battery.

It is a bit more snug, which I actually like, with the extended battery. I don't know what will happen in time, I have only owned this for 4 days and only changed it out a few times. But fresh out of the box it is great for both batteries.12-30-2011 07:38 PMLike 0
- Pretty good actually. The case feels like smooth plastic and doesn't show fingerprints or pick up lint. However, where the case meets the screen does tend to collect a little dust. The tiny lip of the case resting against the screen forms a little trough of dust. A little canned air fixes that.12-31-2011 09:03 AMLike 0
- Mine definitely didn't sit down into the case flush like with the standard battery and cover. Here's a picture of inside the shell - you can see where it bulges up where the standard battery cover has that slight indentation. With the extended cover bulging out it doesn't fit into the case so that the phone is under the "lip" of the case that normally goes slightly over the screen.12-31-2011 01:14 PMLike 0
- You can email support and they will send you an Revision3 version of the case with cut outs for the volume rocker. They are shipping next week. I actually did my own cut out for the volume controls and it fits nicely with the extended battery. This is the only issue that I had with the case and other than that I love it. I will be getting a rev3 version when it is released.12-31-2011 06:41 PMLike 0

- Im using the Verizon high gloss black soft silicone case and this fits perfect...never thought I would go silicone, but after having the Case Mate Barely There one and other hard cases for every phone Ive owned, Im not going back anytime soon. The problem with the Case Mate Barely There case and this phone's extended battery is that it does not sit totally flush along the sides.01-01-2012 12:07 PMLike 0
- I have the shell/holster combo and the black silicone case. I use the holster, but I use the silicone case instead of the shell and it works perfectly. This isn't a work around for me as I did the same thing before I got the extended battery and I also did it with my Thunderbolt. I just don't like the shell that much.
