Does anyone make a case for the Hero that will work with an extended battery? With the extra bulk that one adds, it doesn't seem like most (if any) regular cases on the market would fit.

Is there a case/battery cover (the battery cover is preferred) for the HD2 that has a kickstand besides the extended battery one from HTC? I really don't like the HUGE lump on the back of the phone that the extended battery makes.
u can make by yourself.

Anyone know of one?.....
I'm interested to know too...
None I've seen. I honestly don't think ANYONE has an extended battery option. The only one I think offers anything is Zagg which (I think) offers the back piece to cover the extended battery cover, but that's about it.
I have the extended battery, and cant find a case ANYWHERE... Anyone know of anything?
That is a good question.. i have not seen anything offical other than seidio having cases for their extended batteries(still in development according to website.
Looks like walmart or a mall kiosk for a pouch as a temp fix to this case problem....
I used a razor blade to cut my soft case to fit my 3500 battery. Looks pretty good. I will never go back to using the stick battery.

It works for their extended battery or for the stock battery. I have been using one since it came out and also for years on my xv6800... I am VERY happy with their products so far.
Normal caveats... YMMV, IMHO, yadda yadda yadda

I took a razor blade to the Amzer Silicon case I have used before with the stock battery. The battery door sticks out a little. Cheap solution until there is actual products on the market...I think I paid $10 including shipping from ebay. I am sure you can mod any other stock case with a cutout so the battery can extend, but that is up to you... I figured the price I paid vs the use I got from it evened out

And for added protection stick one of these on the back of the battery door

They come in all sorts of colors and designs
You can mod cases for the humpback door designs, but not the fatty doors all of the lower cost, eBay extended bats ship with.
I am wondering if I would have any luck buying a cheapo silicone and a cheapo hard case from Amazon or eBay, cutting the backs out of both of them for the extended battery, and putting them both on so it would be kind of like an Otterbox. Is that feasible or should I just buy the Otterbox and mod it (I figured the cheapo cases would be less of a loss if it turned out to be a big fail)?
We now have Silicone cases available for the Droid Incredible and Evo 4G Extended batteries. Black, Red, Pink and Purple are available.

Need better pics. The pic on the link provided looks nothing like anything that would fit on an Incredible. Do these cases fit on the Seidio 3500 mAh batteries?

I agree. Please post more pictures. The box shape of the case makes me wonder if the phone would just sit in the case with too much room. Like if you grip the phone with the case on it, does the case cave in around the phone? Does the case feel solid enough or firm when on the phone? Just doesnt look like it would conform to the phone correctly. Im sure im not describing what im trying to find out correctly.
Post pics of the inside of the case?
This case does not fit with the seidio innocell 3500 battery which imo is the only one worth buying there is a case specifically for this battery on the seidio website however doesnt appear to give much protection my hope is that they design a rugged case for the extended battery
For the 2150 HTC extended battery, here is a good place:
http://shop.htcpedia.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=1104&compability_product=757
Would recommend not using silicone only as all of them tend to slip off pretty easily. But they do have hard rubber ones, the black ones look much better than red.
Anybody here have/made their own 3-d printer? I'm contemplatinig on building one and making a custom case for my g-note with mugen extended battery. I'm in the process of getting a hyperion extended battery case but still feel its lacking in terms of protection. I had the trident kraken case and that case saved my phone 4 times, including a hard drop screen down directly onto the cement. I doubt the hyperion case could handle that. So my plan is to make a case the fits around the hyperion one, but I need a bit of feedback from anyone who has made their own case with a 3-d printer. any help is appreciated. for anyone who doesn't know what i'm talking about when referring to 3-d printing watch this:

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone has found a solution for fitting a decent case over these phones with extended batteries. I only found that zerolemon gives a decent case (still not as rugged as I desire, but better than no case!) but I would prefer to go with a extended battery that is not as bulky such as mpj or hyperion. Any suggestions on getting a good case or am I doomed till hyperion or mpj releases one (probably never?).

I don't think you'll find a magic case that will shrink existing matter into a smaller space. The larger capacity demands a larger battery that is not going to be smaller or form fitting to a phone not initially designed for it. It will have to be bulky by definition.
The zero lemon option at least is boxy and rectangular. The other options are lopsidedly large at the base. I personally am going to add a tpu case over my mpj battery for added grip.
i didnt even realize extended batteries were still made. isn't that too bulky?

I saw this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ZAK1GAS/ref=psdcmw_3081461011_t1_B015XBS45I?th=0
and ordered a clone off eBay. Getting here tomorrow, will let you know how it goes. Not willing to use the super slippery back that comes with these extended batteries!
Do you guys think my g4 with a mugen battery and door, could I put one of those metal or hybrid bumpers on this?
Doubt a bumper would work. There is usually at least one part of the new back that alters the dimensions of the edge. The zerolemon one makes the whole thing boxy. The one I linked to above changes the whole lower 3/4th edge.
If you did your own 3d printing of a new back, and only had a pronounced lump in the center, potentially you could.
Case for extended battery
I use an otterbox on my G4 with 6200 ma battery. I leave the phone back off, cut the back out of the otterbox where the battery would hit and then just stretch the rubber over. It tucks into a groove in the front half and works great
I use Hyperion Extended battery and Hyperion TPU Case, and i do modification to add NFC feature on Hyperion
You can see on my attachment. White TPU Case too easy to get dirty

Does the Hyperion TPU case have a lip in front of the screen? Any chance you have a pic of the front with the Hyperion TPU case?

The case I got off ebay which is the same as the Hyperion one does have a lip, thus making the front very similar to many TPU cases.
