I got the OEM extended battery and I use the rubberized hard case. It doesn't fit like stock battery but it fits.

I have the Qmadix case and it does not fit right with the extended battery. It doesn't snap on correctly near the top and the holster is a super tight fit.

Yes, I have the extended battery and picked up the Shell\Holster combo from vzw. It fits the extended battery very nice and fits in the dock.

Going tomorrow to look for a car dock. I hope it fits the same way with the extended battery and case.

I have the Shell/Combo case but this thing is terrible for protection and the holster is atrocious. The nice and shiny top and bottom of the phone is exposed to scratches and nicks in the shell and the holster barely holds anything (I travel a lot in the subway and it fell out several times onto the floor when shuffling between people). I can not trust this. I am seriously hoping Seidio rushes out their extended battery cases soon. Otterbox just refuses to account for extended batteries, but since protection is top priority for me more so than battery life, I guess I'm stuck to using the regular battery with Otterbox until Seidio's comes out.

I thought the Shell\Combo was very similar to the Seidio case I had for my TB with the extended battery. So far no problems with it falling out but I haven't been using the belt clip portion. (I usually carry in my pocket). Also I don't use the subway so I can see how that would factor in. So far Seidio hasn't posted anything about an extended battery case, if they do that would be great.
I like the case while it does leave the top and bottom exposed it allows me to use the extended batery in both the car and HDMI dock.
i'm pretty happy with my shell case, and the kickstand is great for using my phone as a clock at night.

Just picked up the Car Dock and I can confirm that the shell case with extended battery works with it! Way to go Moto! You finally got it right.
I haven't driven with it yet, I will test that on the drive home.
Of note: The Car Dock doesn't come with a vehicle charger nor is there a plug for the audio cable in the dock. This would have been a nice feature to keep from having to reconnect it. But over all its a good accessory.
bought two extended batteries at the 50% off and the shell cases with kickstand and belt clip love them..

Is there a case that fits with the inductive battery cover? I have the case/holster that has the built in kick stand (not the body glove one, but the one that will fit the extended battery as well) that is at Verizon stores. I had a semi rigid gel case but it wont fit the inductive charging cover. I really liked the look and feel of the case, plus I like how it protected the ends of the phone unlike the hard case that I have now.
anyone??? help!!
nothing yet????
nothing at this moment hopefully soon. Im looking for a case for the extended battery besides the ugly shell case and holster combo im straight.
Yes
I saw one at Best Buy yesterday. Black in color, under 20$. For standard battery. Can't remember the brand.
Nevermind. It was not for the inductive cover.

but will it fit with the inductive charging cover? Withe the charging cover the phone is a different shape, here in-lies the problem.
How big a difference is there between standard cover and inductive charging cover?
The back is flat, there is no more camera hump.
So I purchased an extended battery but my case doesn't fit with it. It does however fit with the case if I take the battery door off. Is it safe to just use the case as a battery door, or should I look for another case?

Are you using the official droid holster shell? I had the same confusion. It looks like it works properly without the original backing, just with the backing that comes with the holster.

The search function doesn't seem to be working right now.
Anyone know of a good horizontal holster case that will also fit a g2 + one of those slim cases like the Insidio feather cases?
I nee to know this too!
so far I found this pricey leather case that fits an S4 with a hard cover. Would probably fit the G2 with a hard case but it's very pricey.

Check out my post. There is a link to eBay. If you look at the pouches he offers. Just about any thing that fits a note 2/3 without a case will fit the G2 with a case I ordered 3 of them. All different. But they work with a ballistic gel case. Which is quite thick. Good luck.

So far the poetic slim hard case is great. Nice feel. Someone thought the case was part of the phone because it was slim and look natural. The case + g2 fit perfectly inside the reiko case. It's not snug and has room to breath and so makes it easy to remove the phone with the case. You could prob add a gel protector and it still fits in the case. Case was made for s3/s4. Best part of the case: the lid magnet is strong enough that the phone will not just fall out if it falls. Love the strong closure. Still waiting on the next "easy to remove" case to arrive.

So I got the second case and I love it better than the first. When I first saw it, I thought it was a weird design to have a middle just missing from the case. But when I got the case I thought it was the perfect design. No more having to push my phone up from the bottom and grabbing a piece of it to pull it out (with the idea that I might drop it one day). With this case, I just get a good grip on the phone and just pull the phone right out. Look at the third picture and you'll see what I mean. The case is built very well and rigid. I have the Poetic Palette slim case that points outwards so my phone is protected on the small piece that is exposed. The magnetic lid is strong enough that a good shake doesn't make the phone fall out. The g2 + slim case fit perfectly in this case. The amount of space available is just right to the point that the phone can freely come out the case when you pull up; now snugness, just the right amount of space. I don't know if a gel tpu case would fit with this case if used with the g2.
This horizontal pouch is my #1 for this phone; the other pouch is a back-up now. Maybe I'll get a gel tpu case to complement the 2nd case and use it when I need extra protection like when hiking or something.
Just my observation, I think any case that fits the Note 2/3 would be a just a little big for this phone. I think cases that fit the S4 would work with this phone.

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

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.
