looks tempting but the awkward shape after is discouraging
There's a review about the Chinese version of the extended battery somewhere on here, says the back cover doesn't fit well and needs trimming/adjusting.
is that similar to this? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140397767421&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
anyone got one of these, what do we think about it?
Anyone tried this?

Yeah, battery is good but the cover(door) will not snap on the HD2.
There is missing a little cam inside the cover....got two covers from my dealer (BatteryUpgrade.com) but both with the same issue.
Can someone else confirm? Because I have another battery door from a Chinese battery thats snaps on perfect.
I just want to make sure this battery doesn't have the discharge problems that a lot of cheap Chinese battery seems to have.
Hi All,
Have flashed to android and noticed that the battery life is a bit on the poor side...
I was going to get the extended battery but don't want to be caseless!
Does anyone know of any cases that fit the HD2 with a bit sticking out?
Thanks,
Rich
You can have this 1

Anyone who can ship to india???
What i am thinking about is getting the extended batt. with batt. cover.
Then buying the rubber case similar to the one that comes with tmobile HD2 and cutting the back side where the extended batt. is protruding.
As the extended batt. has a non-oem case, i won't matter if it gets a few scratches.
Now if anyone can tell me which case is very similar to the one that comes with tmobile USA and where can i get one.
I tried ebay but got confused as the pics. don't tell the whole story and don't want to end up buying a hard case.
thanks.
For those of you who have the HD2 with the extended battery, I know how important it is to find a case that will fit with the extended battery attached. For the fact that the HD2 is a very unique powerful phone along with the vast amount of operating systems that this phone can support, a protected case is priority! After much research, I have finally found the case that will fit with the extended battery without any modifications whatsoever! It is the Seidio Convert Combo Case for the HTC Evo 4G!! Here's the link:

Not only that this case does an excellent job at protecting the phone, but thanks to the excellent pre-cutouts, you still have access to the camera, speaker, light, USB port and headphone jack! The only disadvantage is that you don't access to the kickstand. If you can deal with that, this case is for you! Here are some pictures I've taken with my phone and new case.

This case should fit all HD2's without any problems. If you have the HD2 with the extended battery, I highly recommend that you get this case to protect your investment!! It will be the best $50.00 you will spend! I hope this helps!

What about the powerskin? It claims to fit the hd2
I did the research on this case. It may fit, but it will cover up the camera, speaker, light, USB port and headphone jack. For me, I wanted an extended battery as well as a protective case that gives the ability to access all the ports and jacks on the phone. That's why I chose the case I have now.
Another thing to consider: That power skin has a battery with 1500mAh. The extended battery has 2300mAh. To me, that's more juice that I get to have with the extended battery.
awesome, can you tell me exactly which battery to buy. And I will also buy that case. Do I have to apply a screen protector my self, or is it like the otterbox defender case that comes with one already installed?
Yes, you will have to apply a screen protector yourself. Here are my recommendations:
Extended battery: http://gorillagadgets.com/htc-hd2-e...k-plate.html?gclid=CNC7kdHAgKwCFQNthwodoldVlA
Screen protector: http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
You may be able to find the screen protector cheaper on eBay or Amazon.

Very nice finding, thanks, im using powerskin and its working flawlwssly..
try to look on ebay for a screen protector, there You can find it really cheap and it fits perfectly
you have no idea how long I've been looking for this: AMAZING!!! so just out of curiosity do you have the problem with the extender battery that it doesn't show the full capacity and you have to pull the battery and put it back in? (i'm running android)
is this right? http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-CONVERT-Combo-HTC-Black/dp/B003SNIRCO ??

Yes, that is the correct case. It's good to see that Amazon has the case for cheaper. I'm currently running Coredroid v1.7 on my HD2. I don't have any problems with the extended battery not showing full capacity.
very nice , i like it
so are you not using the hard case part of it just the loose fitting rubber with the outer shell? just curious if you are using the hard part of the case as well.
I bought this official HTC Battery and gel case from eBay.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-H..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item4158991c90
What absolute crap!
The battery is fine but that gel case has a pointless bulky stylus attachment on the side which adds a whole cm to the width. The phone now looks like something the Fedex guy carries!
I just ended up taking the extended back cover off and stretching a standard gel case over the battery.

Nope. I'm not using the hard case. It won't fit if you have the extended battery attached. I tossed my hard case and used only the rubber and the outer shell.

What ROM are you using? I ask because most of the custom ROMs here don't have extended battery support. The ROM listed in my signature for the HD2 is one of a very few that does. Here's the thread where I got the ROM from.

According to the Tytung_R14 kernel list of features, the only extended battery that is supported by this kernel is the official HTC extended battery (2300mAh). This is what the battery looks like.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-2300mAh...595309?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2311ce68ed
Scroll down so that you can see actual pictures of the battery. If you do not have this official extended battery, then your ROM won't support it.
