What if someone took an exstended battery door and a kickstand back cut out the kickstand cut out the same shape in the exstended door and somehow fused, attached, mounted the kickstand part. Good idea? Or if anyone knows of a battery door with a kickstand let me know. Not a case
you'd think with the amount of room the extended door requires, a kickstand could be integrated. i wonder if one could be made long/strong enough to have the keyboard flipped out too.

Has anyone been able to acquire a horizontal leather case for a Titan (actually a xv6800) with a 2400mAh extended battery? I ordered one from OrionGadgets.com via Amazon and it does not fit. While the case has elastic on the sides that will eventually stretch enough to fit the phone in, the top strap with the magnetic clasp is not long enough to properly stay in place.
Any help would be apprciated. BTW I am hoping to pay $30 or less.
Thanks

Body glove makes one that works for the xv6800 with enough room for the extended batteries. Found mine at a kiosk in the mall locally so not sure where to send you to find one.
Ditto. The body glove actually fit my 3500 mAh battery on the 6800.
just got an extended battery and was wondering if anybody knew of a case that would fit around this monster. i looked on the sites that i know about but no luck. i tried to cut out the back section on one of my regular cases but the sides aren't really held in place very well (not enough material left to provide the stiffness/ stablity to hold in place). any ideas or maybe somebody knows of one out on the market?
i've shattered one screen already so a shock absorbing cover is a must.
me too
i ve also searched every where nbut nothing , might have to get it custom made let me know if you find any
I found this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/OEM-2300mAh-H...ssories_RL&hash=item519389b779#ht_2132wt_1044 that has a cover with the battery.

He is asking about a full cover, I guess...
Something like the otterbox cover that covers the whole phone, but allows you to use the extended battery.

yea, exactly. a shock absorbing case that can be used with the extended battery.
i have an otterbox commuter and love it, but my battery runs out on the after work train ride home. the extended battery works great (for me about 170% of original), but as i mentioned earlier, one small drop and presto, shattered screen (i love that the bezel around the screen is so thin. it gives such a small form factor for such a large screen, but it is fragile). so i don't dare leave the house without the otterbox.
i saw this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=693427 but in all honesty this just isn't a solution for me. i need edge impact protection. apart from being ugly beyond belief, these mods leave the top corners exposed which could spell disaster.
Nothing really new here. I've simply modded the Body Glove case to fit the 2150 battery as others have done with other cases and wanted to show the results. The interesting thing about this case is that it's so beefy to begin with that the battery barely sticks out the back. The sides are also very well protected. The only real difficulty with this mod was dremeling the inside of the case for the hump on the camera cover.
What did you use to cut the case?
Sent from my HTC Droid Incredible
I used a dremel hard abrasive cutoff wheel. The edge of the wheel for cutting and the face of the wheel for creating the pocket for the camera bumpout. It needs a little patience, but wasn't too bad. I did nick the case a couple of times when I wasn't paying attention, so be careful.
I'm finding this mod interesting. I first had the body glove case on my phone but then got the seidio rugged combo. Seeing the size of the 2150 in relation to the bodyglove case i think it might be possible to make the 2150 fit inside the seidio rugged. The seidio case on the phone is about 1mm thicker then the bodyglove. So i might be able to keep the outer shell the way it is now and you wouldnt be able to tell the 2150 is in there. Gonna have to get a 2150 and see what i can do.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Just promise to post pictures if you pull this off. My original thought with the Body Glove case was to remove the plastic inside the back of the case leaving the rubber outer layer to stretch over the phone. There was ultimately too big of a hole in the back of the case for various clips and attachments to make this worth the effort, but a case that would actually fit would be nice.
Well after a good review by another user here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1892017
I decided to buy the brown one last week, I had it this morning and tried it immediately. The case looks professional and feels nice to the touch. I thought the only complain I have is that it has no ridge on the inner side of the flap to stop the Nexus from sliding front/back when positioned in landscape mode.
But I discovered a flaw that plagued the earlier Poetic and other similar cases from amazon, in that the magnet is so strong, it put the device in standby mode when folding the front flap all the way to the back.
Watch th video here:
That's strange, my case does not do that? I can upload a video if you want?
I don't know...it's a shame as the case is really lovely but that's the first thing I noticed after I put my nexus on the case. Please do try it with yours.

I tried it earlier and I could not get it to turn the screen off, I was mimicking what you were doing. Maybe ask the seller and see if they can send you a replacement?

cheers, will contact them about it.
im getting a refund for the case and I get to keep it too. I have compared the magnet location on this case and it is a little lower than the magnets on the other cases that I already have. tried relocating the magnet but it still has the same issue so my guess is the magnet is quite strong.

Ah that's good. I guess my case's magnet must be in a different location to yours as it works fine on mine.
Obviously nobody should have to modify a case they bought advertised with a smart function to get it to work the way it's supposed to, but for anyone dealing with a case that shuts the screen off if the front flap is folded all the way back because the magnet is too strong, I have a quick/cheap/easy solution if you don't want to mess with returns/replacements:
You can tape a little piece of metal between the case and the back of the Nexus in the same area as the magnet. This should stop the magnet from turning the screen off when the flap is all the way open and touching the back of the case.
I did this for my ASUS travel case. I taped a magnet to the front flap so I could use it as a smart case, but the magnet was too strong and kept turning the screen off when folded back. I added the little piece of metal and now it works perfectly. For the metal I just I cut a small square out of a tin can lid a little larger than the size of the magnet I was using. I just used a tin can because it was the nearest piece of thin metal I had, but anything small and thin enough that the tablet will still fit in the case while sitting on it will work. The tape will keep the metal in place and protect the back of the Nexus 7 from scratches. Haven't had a problem yet. It's not the most polished looking solution in the world, but you can't even tell it's there unless I remove the Nexus from the case. Just throwing it out there for anyone having magnet issues.

Cheers, I alreay tried a few sheets of aluminum foil, but it did not help, and
the Nexus did not fit snugly because it was too thick.
I'm looking forward to cheaper altearnatives of this one (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008NMCPTQ/ref=cm_cd_asin_lnk) which looks like it has the best design, and offers the best protection.
Ok I bought an oem flip case (the kind you replace the battery door and it protects the screen). Does anyone know of a case or bumper guard to protect it that would be compatible with it? I bought the flip case because my battery door broke. So id like to prevent buying just a battery door then another case on top of it.

Also I know that you can put a flip cover and a UAG on. The issue is that you cannot open the flip case all of the way unless you cut part of the case. Also, if you don't cut the case, I hear that the volume buttons become very difficult to press.
I think really any case that is made from a soft, flixible material on the sides would probably fit the phone and the flip case, since it only really adds the little part on the left side as far as extra bulk goes.
